As the Ravens regrouped, a familiar transparent notification appeared in my vision:
Congratulations! Through your actions, you have unlocked a new skill: Shoot (Basic) - Rank 1. This skill allows you to propel small objects at high velocity using space mana. Damage based on projectile type and velocity. Current mana cost: 3MP per shot.
I suppressed a smile despite my exhaustion. The system had formalized what I'd been doing instinctively—converting my knowledge of ballistics into magical practice. With proper training, I could potentially turn this into something approaching firearms technology.
"What was that?" Rosalia approached me, her tattooed arms still crackling with residual lightning mana. "I've never seen a child cast at all, let alone with such precision."
"Or such deadly effect," Erika added, eyeing me with newfound wariness.
Niklas stepped closer, his bloodied sword still drawn. "You took down at least twelve goblins yourself. That's not normal."
