Mischief Fragment: Sorcery and Sourcery [Episode 220803]

by Kestral

Now Naruto was a ninja but dual-classed to be a sorcerer.

A wizard, in the terms of the universes he was copying stuff from, was one who learned spells from books - storing their patterns in the wizard's mind, then losing that spell when it was cast and having to rememorize it.

A sorcerer, on the other hand, KNEW the spell. The spell utilized innate magical power and hurled it out into a pattern formed by a mixture of will and nature.

The spells normally available to a sorcerer, particularly the beginning ones, did NOT particularly inspire Toltiir.

As a genin with a few jutsu under his belt, he'd be considered "first level" by most reckonings. That was fine, but to have some real possibilities - he'd have to be more accomplished with the magical end of things.

Maybe, though, if one tweaked things just a bit.

Charisma +2 (18)
Intelligence +4 (16)

Toltiir considered that, decided it wasn't enough.

Charisma +4 (20)
Intelligence +5 (17)
Constitution +4 (22)
Wisdom +3 (15)

Toltiir's tail twitched a few times as the kitty was apparently lost in thought.

Wizardry was more flexible, and as a frequent cat knew - flexible was good. Dependence on magical libraries was not good though. Unless...

Oh, THAT would work!

Base ability edit.

Toltiir nodded, then fixed a detail.

What else to do?

• Magical companion/mascot! Hmmm. Not necessarily something battle-worthy. What to use?
• Still not enough fun. Higher level magic would be better.
• Wand, staff, gun, something. A magical focus or weapon.
• A subset of Seal Magic where he can trap a jutsu in a card and then use that jutsu!
• Pimping out a subdimensional magic library.
  "Flying towers have been done, so maybe if I add this... oh and this. Maybe some magical tools. I don't see where this has been done. Oh, and if he could store injured comrades here to heal - but there's a price to pay. Hee hee hee."
• something else
