After that, his mother went to the main point. "you want to learn fire magic I know, but you can't directly jump to learning fire without knowing about the wind element".
Even those who don't have an affinity with the wind element must learn a little control of the wind element if they wanna learn how to use fire spells.
The reason being, that wind is necessary for fire. Without wind, it is impossible to start a fire(that's not the case in real life as you can see, the sun is in space where no air exists it is just that these people don't have that knowledge yet(nuclear fusion occurs on the sun).
Hassan had learned about it in his school on earth, so it wasn't confusing information for him, and he didn't correct the sentence about fire because he couldn't explain what atoms are to people with no knowledge of it, neither did he want to waste any of his time on it.
Then his mother told him to pour magika out of his hand and try to make a small tornado in his hand, by moving magika in form of a tornado.
This was no spell, it was just a simple task that would help him get better control over his magika. He focused on his magika and poured it out of his hand, once it got out of his hand, it started to move in random directions, he put it under his control in a few seconds, after that he starts rotating it in a spiral-like shape, to make a tornado.
He watched happily, as the wind above his hand started moving on a circle continuously to make a tornado.
He didn't see his mother's reaction, her mouth was wide open in shock. She had already teached Jacob some wind spells, to keep him safe but it would take a lot of time for him to learn. Compared to him the current Jacob learned it on his first try.
She thought about what the reason could be and reached a conclusion.
The previous Jacob had no intention of learning wind magic as he wanted to be a healer, but the current Jacob wanted to learn it and had a very high affinity with the element too.
She comes back to reality and puts back her indifferent face with a slight smile. Previous or new, Jacob was her son and parents are happy the more successful their children are.
She then told Jacob that he should stop, or he would run out of magika before he learns anything else.
Hassan stopped the magika consumption and felt a little happiness as he smiled slightly, this was very rare for Hassan, on earth he would hardly show any emotion, this might have been his new body, or because he was happy that he could use magic. He realized he had already used near 20% of his magika with such a simple act.
It was now that he realized how small the amount of magika he had.
His mother told him "since you already have very good control over wind element you can learn a fire spell called a fireball"
"you will also learn why I asked you to learn how to control wind elements first"
"pour out a small part of your magika and hold it in a spherical shape, due to your control over wind it shouldn't dissipate". " after that imagine that spherical magika rubbing against each other producing heat from the friction". "keep rubbing it together until it combusts". " the last step is to keep this fire inside a spherical cylinder made from wind by pushing it from all sides using wind this pressure won't let it simply dissipate".
"And for the final step, push this fireball. in the direction you want". after saying all this she stayed silent for a but then said "remember you must do all of this precisely the way I told you or you might get hurt if the fireball exploded in your face". "I will stay and watch over you as you try to perform it and would protect you if you need help"
Hassan was a little shocked, he thought his mother will tell him to chant some words and a fireball would appear in his hands but apparently, that wasn't the case.
He had to do all of the processes himself, He poured out around 20% of his remaining 80% magika and put it in a spherical shape, after that he increased the atmospheric pressure around this ball of magika using 7% of his magika, so if he made a fireball it won't dissipate in the air. after that he focused on rubbing the magika together, to make heat by the friction, this heat couldn't escape due to the higher pressure and accumulated in the sphere, suddenly two of the magika particles collided and shattered giving out a spark. this spark due to the high temperature put the air (oxygen) on fire using magika as the fuel, which was trapped in high pressure so it only formed a sphere.
Hassan seeing this smiled, suddenly the pressure bubble he had created burst, and all the flame dissipated in the wind. but the flame didn't expand in his direction, instead, it all went upward. He knew this was his mothers doing, she had saved him from harm.
He realized he had put too little magika in the pressure bubble,(it's not called pressure bubble that's what Hassan named it) which resulted in it getting destroyed by the pressure from the fire inside it. He was confident that next time he won't fail if he put around double the magika (of the previous 7%) in the pressure bubble. he tried once more with the same amount of magika for flame, but 14% magika for the pressure bubble.
This time the flame didn't dissipate and has used all his remaining magika, except 3% to throw the fireball upward using wind magic
He left 3% but he didn't faint, but even if he didn't faint he still felt like his body was very heavy.
The fireball went five meters in the air and then exploded. Hassan knew if he wanted he could make the fireball explode before it reached the 5-meter limit if he removed the pressure bubble. He also realized that the range in which he could control the magika was 5 meters. His mother was standing far from him, around 10 meters but she had thrown away his first failed fireball, so Hassan assumed this limit could be increased in the future.
As he performed his first successful spell, some mechanical voice in his head said "congratulations to host 1 of the three requirements for unlocking system have been met"
As he heard this Hassan suddenly started looking around, at every possible place where this sound could come from, He also looked at his mother other than shock he couldn't see any expression from her.
So he assumed she hasn't heard this voice, if she had she would be looking for whose voice it was because there was no one else near them.
She looked at her son in horror and shock, as if looking at some stranger or a being she has never seen before.
learning fireball wasn't as easy as her son made it look, learning fireball took days, and hours for the most talented with the best teachers and resources.(it's hard for others to control magic as efficiently as Hassan because they don't have much knowledge of their surroundings, and Hassan had an extremely high affinity with both wind magic and fire which were required for fireball spell).
But that wasn't the case with her son He had learned on his second try. this was unheard of.
however, Hassan was more concerned about the voice in his head rather than looking at the shocked lady.
AUTHORS NOTE
I know I write too much info, but I didn't want to tell you guys that our MC learned the fireball spell in a few sentences. I wanted to tell you guys how the magic in his world work since there are no chants there must be some system and I didn't want to go for it just happens approach.
also don't worry I won't be doing this again.
