Chapter 06 : Trying to Use Creation Magic
After leaving the Imperial Capital, it was another one week trip to get home.
And now I’m alone in my room trying to use creation magic.
I want to know if it’s really incompetent magic.
It was written on the appraisal result that it creates objects using magic power. So I tried making a ping pong ball, since it seemed light and relatively easy to make.
Then, my hand began to shine.
After a while, when the light faded away, there was a ball with a distorted shape on my hand…
It’s clearly a failure.
Then, I was assaulted by a sudden dizziness.
So when I tried looking at my status card,

Are you serious? I’ve spent 1000 magic power for this little thing!
It’s really incompetent magic if I use up so much magic power and can’t even make such a simple thing.
It’s no wonder that people wouldn’t want to use this.
What should I do…
Ah, come to think of it, it was written on the appraisal result that if there is material, the range of objects that can be made increases as well.
Alright! Let’s try using some materials this time.
So, I’m searching for something that could be used as material for creation magic.
Ah. I found a branch on the garden!
It’s perfect! Since, it’s garbage, it will be fine even if I fail.
So, let’s try making chopsticks with this branch.
As I was focusing on the image of chopsticks, I felt magic power coming out of my body.
Then, the branch began to shine and change its shape, and when the light faded out, there were the chopsticks in its place.
The feeling of unhappiness due to my magic power decrease was great, but it’s a success nevertheless!
Creation magic can be used having magic power and materials.
I looked around for more materials and found a metal cup, so I tried using it to make a fork.
This time, I felt even more magic power coming out, however, the light faded out in a blink of an eye, and the cup became something with just a distorted shape.
Suddenly, I was assaulted by an intense nauseousness.
I looked at my status in a hurry,
Leons Forster Lv. 1
Age: 5
Tribe: Human
Occupation: Creator
Condition: Magical Sickness
Physical strength: 5/5
Magic: 50/4650 (-4600)

This is dangerous!
Let’s lie down in bed for the time being and wait for the nausea to subside.
I jumped into bed and went to sleep.
<3 days later>
I finally understood how it works.
First of all, without materials, I can’t properly use creation magic yet.
Second, it requires magic power like crazy.
Last, if the material is hard or large, it will need magic power accordingly.
Also, since I continued using it for three days, creation magic is Lv. 2 now.
<Creation Magic Lv. 2>
Magic that creates things using magic power,
The higher the level, the wider the range of objects that can be made,
If there is material, the range increases as well,
Lv. 2: Simple things can be made, and if there is material, the magic required is halved.
Now, it’s possible to make a ping pong ball with magic power alone.
If it’s small, I can make metal-based things as well.
With this, it’s a little less incompetent.
<1 week later>
Creation magic is Lv. 3!
Now, I’m able to do something great.
<Creation Magic Lv. 3>
Magic that creates things using magic power,
The higher the level, the wider the range of objects that can be made,
If there is material, the range increases as well,
Lv. 3: If it’s not large, most things can be made even if there’s no material,
If there are magic stones and materials, simple magic items can be made.
This thing about magic items seems amazing, but just how much magic power is needed to make it?
By the way, my magic power now is,
Leons Forster Lv. 1
Age: 5
Tribe: Human
Occupation: Creator
Physical strength: 5/5
Magic: 5670/5670 (+1020)
Power: 3
Speed: 4
Luck: 1000
Attributes: None, Creation
Skills:
Appraisal, Creation Magic Lv. 3,
Non-attribute Magic Lv. 1, Magical Operation Lv. 4
Titles:
A person with memories from a different world,
Magician (new)
In just 10 days, my magic power has greatly increased.
Apparently, the more magic power you use, the more it increases.
So, the growth of my magic power, where I kept using magic everyday until the point of throwing up, was tremendous.
Also, the wizard became a magician.
<Magician>
Obtained when magic power exceeds 5000.
10% less magic power required for magic.
Oh, I appreciate the 10% reduction in magic power required!
Although 10% isn’t something that crazy, since a great amount is required in a single creation.
Alright, if that’s the case, I might be able to make a magic item.
Well then, first I should find out what a magic stone is.
I’m heading to Sebastian’s place for the first time in a long time.
“What is a magic stone?”(Leo)
Sebastian, being suddenly questioned, just tilted his head.
“Magic stone, is it?”(Sebastian)
“Yes, what kind of thing? How do you obtain it?”(Leo)
After complementing my earlier question, it seems he understood what I wanted to know.
“I see, please wait here for a while.”(Sebastian)
Saying so, he left the room and went off somewhere.
A few minutes later, Sebastian came back with a bag.
He took out a stone from the bag. It was round shaped and seemed like it was made of some sort of gray glass or something.
“This is the cheapest magic stone. You can get it immediately by defeating a monster. It can be obtained that easily because it doesn’t contain any magic power. If I’m not mistaken, in school you’re taught to infuse it with magic power to practice magic. And if you put a lot of magic power in it, you can sell it for a high price to the craftsmen, so the students of the magic school use it to earn pocket money.”
“He~, so this is a magic stone~”(Leo)
Saying that, I took the magic stone and poured magic power on it.
Then, the gray magic stone began to shine beautifully.
“Eh? Leo-sama, you can use magical operation already!? What should I say, as expect of you.”
Sebastian was surprised to see that could do it with ease.
Come to think of it, to pour magic power onto the stone, I used magical operation to move the magic power.
It seems magical operation is useful in various ways.
I’m glad I worked so hard…
“I-It’s nothing much...”(Leo)
“No no, it’s really amazing. Please be more confident. I’ll give you this, so use as you please.”(Sebastian)
Saying that, he handed me the bag, which contained about 10 more magic stones.
“Eh? Is that fine?”(Leo)
“Yeah, it’s not that valuable anyway, so don’t worry about it”(Sebastian)
“Alright, thank you. I will use it carefully.”(Leo)
“No no, please don’t hesitate in asking me.”(Sebastian)
Returning to my room, I immediately took out the magic stone I had previously put magic power in.
Hearing Sebastian’s story, I wanted to fill this magic stone to the brim.
In order to make magic tools, the craftsmen buy magic stones from the students of a excellent magic school, so I wonder if it will work even if I put all I have in it…
(Just, Leo didn’t know…
His magic power wasn’t at the the level of those on the top of the magic school…
Moreover, the students selling magic stones didn’t put their all into it.)
I poured magic power on the stone with all my might.
The light coming out of the stone became even stronger.
Recently, as I’ve been using creation magic stone to the limit everyday, I’ve become used to magical sickness.
Now, looking at the magic stone, its tremendous brilliance couldn’t be compared to before.
Alright, what should I make with this?
Either way, first I took a little break to take a nap, since I exhausted all of my magic power.
While sleeping, magic power recovers faster.
It’s about twice as much as when you’re awake.
<About 3 hours later>
At last, I fully recovered my magic power.
Generally, it seems to take around 1 or 2 minutes to recover about 1% of the magic power while sleeping.
So, what should I make…
Something to increase my status would be good.
Something to increase growth would be fine as well.
However, something that stands out like a ring or a necklace is no good, since might find it doubtful where you got it.
Also, if I try to make something too amazing, it’s likely to fail, so let’s make it simple.
After thinking for a while, I decided to go with a misanga¹, which increases my magic power growth.
[ [1].https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friendship_bracelet ]
That should do, since it doesn’t stand out and also doesn’t directly make me strong.
The material is a luxuruous-looking handkerchief my father had.
I found it on the hallway, so I picked it up.
What? It’s fine, I’m sure I won’t be found out…
I placed the shining magic stone on the handkerchief and imagined a misanga.
Then, both the misanga and the magic stone began to shine, merge together, and finally change shape.
The shape was adjusted, and after a while, there was a beautiful misanga on their place.
Ooh, did I succeed?
I tried using <appraisal>, just to be sure.
<Misanga of Growth>
Status growth values are doubled.
Creator: Leons Forster.
Eh!?
What’s with this?
Did I really make something stupidly outrageous like this?
Even if there’s a chance you fail, is there also a chance you make something far better than initially intended?
What does this “all” mean?
Man, I’m so looking forward to raising my level…
<Dinner of the same day>
“Did someone see my handkerchief?”(Diork)
“I don’t think so, what kind of handkerchief is it by the way?”(Carla)
“It’s a luxurious handkerchief made of silk from a certain scarlet silkworm.”(Diork)
“Don’t drop such things!”(Carla)
“Yeah, sorry. Leo also didn’t see it, right?”(Diork)
“Y-Yeah.”(Leo)
“That’s right~...”(Leo)
That handkerchief turned out to be something amazing.
I’m sorry dad...
