Newton’s Binding
This spell seems like a fragment of a larger complex branch of ancient higher magic.
But alone it is just a very small piece. I’m sure you’re used to that.
While touching 2 objects or surfaces, that are in contact with each other, link them together with a force that would take Elder Gods to separate!
Force works on the scale:
Light pressure-------------------Elder God
Only 1 link may be maintained at any time, when a new link is formed the previous will dissipate.
Core Trait creation forced by stabilisation and restructuring.
Core Trait created through fusion of items:
The Greater Principles of Geomancy by Archmage Holmezephus
And:
Crest of the Druid
Core trait created: {[Sleeping Giant]}
This Core trait was created through the resonance of a Greater Artefact rated Grimoire of Earth which granted [Terrain Manipulation] and a High Earth Affinity. The Crest of a Journeyman Druid of the Order of the Verde granting nature mana regen and the [Green Man] skill. Lastly an Unknown Blessing.
The resulting trait benefits are as follows:
The longer the user stays in one area, the greater the mana efficiency of the user’s skills, spells and traits while in that area, decreasing mana cost (only nature or earth aligned). ‘Area’ can be defined as any space with clear boundaries however the larger the area the longer it will take for the mana efficiency to increase. When the user crosses the boundaries and leaves the area the effect resets. The cap is 25% mana cost.
As the user falls asleep they may choose to possess the land within the region defined as ‘Area”. While possessing the land the user may cast [Terrain Manipulation] an unlimited number of times.
[Terrain Manipulation] is a spell that allows for the manipulation of the all matter composing the lands surface within sight of the caster. ‘Lands surface’ being defined as the natural top layer of the planet’s surface to a depth of 100 metres.
Alert! Thread and cover of, The Greater Principles of Geomancy, have left behind remnants of mana.

Artisan
Hi everyone, really, really sorry for disappearing on you guys, illness lead to a deep depressive episode that I'm still struggling with. Been thinking about coming back to revamp/finish writing Artisan and noticed a kind reader pointing out my work has been stolen and published on Amazon. The offending novel is The Artisan by Jon Moremont - obviously a GoT fan who didn't even read the blurb properly and put a wizard on the cover. Just wanted to let everyone know that this book has nothing to do with me, and has no new content. Thanks, and sorry again - LF Superhero Litrpg Skills, level-ups, powers, crafting, and base-building. Releasing a chaplet daily, ~1,200 words. It is 2054 and unemployment is at an all-time high. In the era of the quantum computer, autonomous systems have taken over as the backbone of the workforce. Justin, 20 years old and unemployed, has nothing holding him back, and since his government stipend will cover the expense, he signs up to play Imagitech's brand new game: A Time of Heroes. Justin has never been that into multiplayer games, but for a full-immersion virtual reality where he can play a Superhero, Justin is definitely in. 'Superheroes and Villains are on the rise in an alternate America of 2020. Forces of good and evil must band together to control the future'. Justin plays Artisan, an alien AI trapped on Earth.Inventor, hacker, and gadgeteer to a team of heroes. Hope you enjoy. Please feel free to leave reviews and comments.

Candor: The Forgotten House
*** Please read note below *** As a 16-year-old mage from a powerful family, Jayce Candor had known from a young age what his future would hold. As the fourth son in his family the possibility of him becoming the heir to the household was very small. But, with his talent as a mage, his potential accomplishments in the military could lead to titles of nobility and political power. However, on what would otherwise be an unremarkable night, everything he had ever known, the only people he ever cared for, and all of the plans for his future were destroyed. House Candor, one of the six great houses that helped build the Eldoran Empire had been erased from history. By imperial decree, all those bearing the name Candor were hunted down and executed as traitors of the Empire. With no home, no family, and only death waiting for him, Jayce decided to escape north to the uncharted Northern Territories to begin a new life. Forced into situations he was never prepared for and trying to cope with his past, Jayce tries to find safety in a place spoken about only in legends. There for the first time, he will make true friends and find people he will come to see as family. He will encounter strong enemies, build powerful alliances, and become a person his ancestors would be proud of. But surrounded by creatures he thought only existed in tales and pressed by the Empire’s constant expansion, Jayce’s safety may be only an illusion. To survive a world fraught with danger Jayce will need to grow stronger with each new experience and rebuild his once forgotten house. ********************************************************************** Note: The story starts slow. Although there is more action as the story progresses, there is a fair amount of introspection and character introduction in the first 30 chapters. Jayce is the main character, however, other characters play a large role and the story is seen through multiple POV's. This is a draft, it is not a finished work. This is not a story that focuses on an OP MC who beats up on weaklings. At times there can be a fair amount of internal monologue. Some of that may be edited out when I rewrite the story. I decided to keep it in the draft because I think it is better to have too much material rather than too little when I edit. Constructive criticism is appreciated as it helps in the editing and rewriting process. Check out my other story Shattered Mind here
