Over the next two weeks, shadow magic lessons became a routine.
They had shifted practising in evening now because of Razeil's busy schedule in the morning.
Within a week, Nyx could create shadow barriers, manipulate darkness to hide her presence, even use shadows for short distance transportation.
"You're progressing faster than anyone I've taught." Umbra said during their tenth lesson. "Most students take months to achieve what you've achieved in days."
"Hybrid advantage?" Nyx asked.
"Probably or it can be exceptional natural affinity." He showed her a more complex technique of converting shadows into semi solid weapons. "Try this. Visualization is key. The shadow must believe it's a blade before it can cut like one."
Nyx focused as she gathered shadows around her hand. They condensed, sharpened, and formed into a dagger. When she tested it on a training dummy, it cut perfectly .
"Excellent. At this rate, you'll surpass basic skills within a month."
