My Muscle System in the Mage World

"Not bad. Now I can finally make the Devour spell. I can finally create a set of spells that perfectly suits me for now," he thought as he took the huge tooth inside his room.

To be honest, this wasn't actually a tooth. It was the essence of a Wendigo. Wendigos were creatures of nature that lived in another dimension to the human world.

However, these creatures could occupy human bodies and materialise in this world through humans, and only humans.

Wendigos were like enemies of the entire human race because to materialise in this world, they needed humans—corrupted humans, to be precise.

Once they occupied humans, their strength gradually increased just by staying in the human world.

However, once the host body of the Wendigo was killed, they died with the host, leaving behind all their accumulated essence, which manifested as a large tooth.

Looking at the tooth, Aur's eyes flashed in contemplation.

"It should have been a wizard apprentice before it was slain by a wizard. That means it must have stayed in this world for at least a decade or so," Aur thought. The Wendigo and humans were arch enemies, however, it was never taken seriously because it needed too much time to grow, and hiding it was quite hard.

Any tier one wizard could sense the birth of a Wendigo the moment they materialised and easily kill it, so they weren't considered much of a threat. But with the careful nature of powerful wizards, how could it be taken lightly?

There were even countless deviations done, and the first order of duty was to kill Wendigos the moment they took over a human, without mercy.

These thoughts flashed in his mind as he looked at the giant canine tooth in front of him, almost reaching his own towering height and emitting an eerie presence.

"How heavy is this?" Aur mused, trying to carry the tooth. However, when he lifted it, he was a little surprised.

"There are just ten kilograms at most," Aur muttered, shaking his head as he examined the weight of the Wendigo tooth.

He then proceeded to retrieve material after material from the spatial ring that the second elder had given him. As he brought out each item, Aur meticulously counted them one by one, cross-referencing them with his memories.

In the branch of vitality magic, there were several mixed spells: Vigour, Devour, Strength, Dragonic Body, and Wizard Hand.

Aur had made every effort to collect all the ingredients for these spells. Some of the ingredients were rare and ancient, with some even being extinct.

However, Aur quickly analysed the spells and found alternative ingredients to substitute for the more extinct ones. This required considerable effort and hard work, as finding a substitute for an ingredient required a deep understanding of the entire spell.

And carefully learn the entire knowledge of the ingredient and what part of it was needed for it, then Aur needed to search through the vast ingredients to find substitutes. He had done this in his spare time, for which he needed to thank his attributes, as they significantly increased his comprehension, making the process much faster and easier.

Aur had already substituted almost every single extinct ingredient. However, there was another problem: for the core ingredients, he couldn't make a substitute. After all, if he replaced the core ingredient, the spell would likely change entirely. It might even explode or self-destruct when it entered his mental space, or worse, poison him.

Anything could happen!

Refining a spell wasn't an easy task, and the creation of a spell was an impossible task unless you had a thorough understanding and were powerful enough with plenty of resources even then the task isn't easy and depended more on luck after meeting the requirement.

The creation of spells was like a science experiment, which needed to be done after countless failures and successes.

Aur wanted the dragon's blood essence first, which was the last ingredient he needed for the spell Dragonic Body.

However, Aur didn't have it, so his next plan was the Devour spell, which needed a Wendigo's tooth, and here it was, the last core material for his spell.

As for the Vigour spell, he still needed some core material, and he hadn't found it yet.

Aur exhaled a breath of cold air and completely closed the window, isolating himself.

"Let's get started," he muttered, looking at the materials piled up in front of him.

First, he needed to extract the essence from a flower called Nether Wood.

Aur's crimson eyes glowed with determination. "Tier one: Elemental Mastery."

Instantly, he was able to control the five elements of nature: fire, wood, water, air, and soul.

The wind rustled against his long white hair as he gripped his hand, and the black flower in front of him was instantly compressed, turning into a murky black liquid.

Which directly fell into a container.

Just like this, Aur extracted the essence from numerous flowers one by one in a specific order.

By the end, the liquid in the container emitted an eerie presence, which made even Aur's scalp numb from just staying near.

However, Aur's eyes glowed with a pattern again, calming his mind from the presence.

"Tier one: Calm Mind Incarnation."

"These spells must not be underestimated," Aur muttered in a strange tone, rubbing away the single sweat that fell from his head. The presence that Aur felt was filled with a death aura that trapped his mind.

He looked at the murky liquid, now a mixture of green and dark. This wasn't mud, but the essence of countless flowers that had been tirelessly nurtured with mana, grown in extreme conditions.

Aur started to slowly carve the pattern of a monster's mouth with long canine teeth using chalk. He also made sure to infuse his mana into it.

"Alright, now the preparation should be almost done," he said, taking the gigantic tooth out and positioning it right in front of the carved beast mouth pattern.
