It wasn't the only skill I bought though, but compared to the other skill that I did acquire from this opening of my wallet, it was by far the more interesting and easily applicable skill that would be thrust into use almost right away.

Making use of [Invoker] would extremely easy and really quick to do since it was now able to work alongside my other skills - primarily [Mana Control] - to allow me to cast spells without needing to make use of the runic language I had learned just to become the mage I always wanted to be.

The other skill I bought with my remaining skill point was [Inscriptionist], which was another utility based, behind the scenes type skill that amplified my current powers instead of becoming one of them, which was something I had always preferred amongst my skills.

I wanted to be the one doing the things, not my System, no matter how broken it was; there just hadn't been extremely pressing situations to warrant relying completely and utterly on the System like that, and since I had built myself a solid enough foundation to work from, that was doubly apparent.

[Inscriptionist (Novice): Enhances the power of any enchanted items by a small amount, or an increased amount if they were created by you]

It was a simple skill that was yet another blanket buff to something as broad as enchanted gear, but the demonstration from before by that Caliph was something that made me realize just how incredibly powerful these things I had only been fascinated with as a hobby could be. They really were a real life version of something that was 'pay to win', since the stronger the material the better the enchantment would take to the item, and if you had a stronger material to enchant it could take an even stronger enchantment, feeding off of one another to create a vicious loop of empowerment that I was now seeing somewhat clearly.

A suite of rings and necklaces enchanted with a myriad of spells could broaden my arsenal far more than the initial amount of things I wore; the way spells interacted with one another, the way I could make use of different things to create or destroy in extremely different ways... all of it would be enhanced by this skill, and the first order of business was getting all of my lovers a few helpful rings made up.

Defensive spells to help by time, offensive spells to catch people by surprise, utility spells to make it easier to fight at their best; the possibilities were seriously endless with enchanting, and I really needed to lean into that more, so when I rejoined everyone outside and gave Jahi a brief recap of what Leone and I had been discussing, I was more so thinking about the things I could do when we got to our room.

Giggling at her current expression, I rolled my eyes and said "That's obviously not it, you dolt. You of all people should know that fighting while stiff isn't exactly impossible, and the blood flow might even prevent some people from falling for that anyways. No, the idea I had was to make the utilization of enchanted items - specifically jewelry - as difficult as possible. The thought I had that makes the most sense and is capable of being used outside of its intended purpose for whatever you might desire was to create a high intensity flash freeze in a certain area. Specifically to freeze the fingers - or at the very least the hand - of someone playing around with their trinkets."

Anput was still giving me a clearly unamused look as she still got over what I had said before, but after a moment she replied "That sounds like it would be best used as some sort of expendable and throwable object. Like a-"

"Like a knife, perhaps, or more subtly as a disc? That was my plan, yes, and the best idea I had for it was a belt or a necklace of various discs that have various uses. Trying to make them easily accessible but not overly destructible is still a very early work in progress, but it's a start. No point in doing this though if I cannot manage to put the enchantment I want on something without it failing its intended purpose, so..."

I waved the Magic Pen at my lover before pulling out another notepad to allow me to start scribbling down ideas for this enchanted disc projectile that I wanted to make, and since it was going to need some form of somewhat resilient and flexible physical shape, the person I needed to work with me on this was sitting in front of me clearly wanting to do something

else...

But tossing out a bone for this particular Canine was rather easy, and the current method I found to be most useful was being completely honest and straightforwards with her, since she appreciated that more than me dancing around the idea and forcing her to translate what I was saying into what I actually wanted from this.

"Help me figure out a way to make this necklace or belt thing function smoothly, Anput, and I'll put that dress on from before, alright? The next time we have a surplus of time at night I'll go ahead and give the Begum a worthy dance~!"

That piqued her interest immediately, and she accepted the notebook I tossed her with a grin as she nodded and leaned against the bed, taking the quill next and beginning to scratch down her ideas onto the pages.

Above her, I watched the Jackalkin closely as the slightly hidden 'smart' side of her came out, the various blueprints that she was creating on each page capturing my attention and making it hard for me to do anything else as I just admired her work, though when I saw her flip to another page and begin anew I got to work myself, creating and refining the spell I would begin to use as a counter to anyone who was being extremely annoying...
