The pages of the Water Elemental Foundation Grimoire were surprisingly smooth, their pale blue surfaces covered in carefully arranged magical diagrams and detailed explanations.
Sage sat behind his desk, studying the first chapter with considerable interest.
Unlike ordinary spellbooks, which often contained lengthy explanations written in obscure terminology, the grimoire presented its contents with remarkable clarity.
Each section explained how Water Mana behaved, how it could be manipulated, and the methods necessary to transform it into practical magic.
Even the diagrams appeared unusually sophisticated.
"Whoever wrote this certainly knew what they were doing," Sage murmured, turning another page.
The opening chapter focused on gathering Water Mana and maintaining its stability.
Although Sage possessed the necessary affinity, the grimoire emphasized that controlling an unfamiliar element required patience and repeated practice.
He decided to test its instructions.
