Author: Hey there. As I wrote this chapter I realized, that it was not enough for my standards. That is why I decided to release another right after this one. And now: Have fun and enjoy

To enhance his understanding of enchanting Hermann firstly observed the new information he gained from the Skill. Apparently enchanting objects did not necessarily mean that he had to use ancient runes. Even modern languages or emojis were possible. The only requirement for his form of enchanting was meaning. As long as the written signs or letters correspond with the intentions of the enchanter everything was possible.

To test this he drew a circle around the rune that corresponded to infinity and tried to activate the runes again. After the runes began to glow he stopped the energy supply but the runes still functioned. Slowly a tiny flame manifested above the wooden piece. As he searched with his energy sense he felt the energy in the surroundings gather around the circle and being infused into the fire rune.

To stop it he carved the rune for eternal standstill Isa (I) four times around the circle. After another round of observation he could sense that the new runes prevented the energy to come into contact with the circle, effectively shutting down the fire rune.

As soon as he had eliminated the possibility of a future forest fire due to his experiments he returned to his comfortable room to think about possible future applications of enchantments. As he currently saw no merit in learning potioneering as he did not want to rely to much on single usage items he immersed himself into the new books he rented for a nearby library as he did not like to associate himself with other kids as they always played childish games and could take nothing seriously.
