Spell work(Closed)

"Wipe clean the powers of darkness, and purify this land!" Adrian said, raising his arms over his head.
He felt the stream of mana flood his arms and expel outwards, sutra scrolls forming in mid air before spreading around the area he was in. He breathed slowly as he stood there his eyes closing as he let his body begin to recover after casting the demonic counter spell. It could only last so long but the only way to measure that amount of time, was to cast it and wait. But someone would have to be present to push the spell to it's limits. That was what his master was there for.

A master spirit blacksmith and a master spell caster the old man, known to his friends as Pokku, was more than willing to help his apprentice master his arts. With a nod from the masked male, the demon in the guise of an old man began to chant and weave his arms in a rather strange pattern. His eyes narrowed as he stared at the sky. Adrian's eyes cast upwards, watching the skies darken, before he felt that familiar demonic power crashing down on the area. Lessened, yes. But not neutralized by the resistance spell he'd cast. Hie eyes closed as he felt the shock wave strike him, pulse through his system.

He winced as he felt the pain shoot up his spine. His knees nearly buckled, would had if he hadn't reduced the damage that the spell did. It had draining effect, but it was not powerful enough to fully drain the power of the spell. And the fact that Adrian had felt this spell at full strength and survived not once but several times, was smoething he believed helped to toughen his body. Like the saying goes, "That which does not kill me makes me stronger." This was a saying Adrian believed in fully. And like now this was a perfect time to test his theories.

"Alright. Will you try another spell?" Something other than demonic arts? I want to know what's weakened within this field." the masked man said, watching his master.

"Very well." the old man said before beginning a chant.

"Only advanced magicks. Nothing that might bring my home down as well, if you'd please." he asked, before motioning to the old man to begin.

The old demon just laughed and shook his head. If he hadn't been assigned to watch and train Adrian he never would have put up with the human. But he had been paid for his efforts. Training the boy was part of the deal, in crafting, swords, and sorcery. It was the job he'd accepted and since the boy showed promise it was something he worked toward. He just didn't like when the human got out of place. Adrian was a powerful human, there was no denying that. And with very few of them mastering any form of the Spiritual Arts it was something he would put up with. But Adrian had a long way to go to beat the sword smith.

"If you want to know, then why not just ask if I've seen anything? I've seen spells such as this and while it is the greatest defense against advanced forms of spells, it does nothing against the basics. You're getting a bit big for your britches. Be careful that you aren't getting overconfident boy." the demon said, watching him.
Adrian sighed, shaking his head. He didn't seek secondary knowledge. He had to know what his body could take as well as what his powers could do to help him take it. With a wave of his arm in a circle he chanted a spell, before once more his seven star shield formed into place as Adrian stood there. He watched the old man weave his hands as he stood there. He heard the chanting but couldn't recognize the language let alone what was said.

He stared at the old man, his eyes narrowing before they widened. He realized what was happening, but he could feel the mana around him disappearing slowly. His head turned quickly, glancing around quickly. He saw two large orbs circling overhead but they were doing no damage to the area around him. Instead as they came within the area they vanished. The ground outside his 'barrier' was in disarray. Trees turned over broken, others uprooted completely. But only outside the barrier. Everything within the sutra scrolls was perfectly safe. It was strange. Something he'd never seen before. The spell that the old man had cast, whatever it was, was obviously powerful. And yet with only one spell he had completely voided the master magician's spell.

Turning to the old demon his eyes narrowed behind the mask the swordsman was known for in the woods. He was going to accuse the demon of holding back, but the look on the old man's face told him that there was no reason to do so. The demon hadn't held back and words didn't need to be exchanged for it to be said. Adrian wasn't sure what was going on as he looked around, his brow furrowing.

"Normally this spell will prevent any and all spells of the demon world. But you had aid this time. Your spell is weak and my spells are strong. Anyone practicing with spells such as this would not be capable of casting spells. But you had aid with this barrier. Your pendant dismissed the spell. Beware you do not confuse your luck and selection of items with that of true skill. Even your magic can be stopped. You only need to keep it very close and kept secret." the old man said, grinning.

"I don't understand." Adrian said, honestly.

"Magic in the human world is only showmanship. Acting and slight of hand. The ability to make things SEEM real and complicated when in fact they're so easy a child can do it. A magician must have the best of slight of hand, tools, and a mind for the dramatic. Just practice." the demon said.
