"Make a bubble…. Then add in some fire mana….mix a little wind here and there…"

The mumblings in the middle of a field outside of Genesis would have been something people stopped and questioned, even if it was Walker. Yet, the reason that Walker was out here and not anywhere inside the city or near a house was simple.

The shattering crack as fire mana exploding yet again and wind caused a small fire tornado to erupt for the blink of an eye was enough to sing all the grass around yet again. Walker was left just to sigh and begin mixing in some natural mana to spur the growth of the grasses.

"Fifty three failures, this is proving to be impossible with ambient manas."

This was nearly the entire week for Walker. Just a constant attempt to gather manas, mix them while they were trapped in a bubble of space mana and then try to make them balance and remain as such. It wasn't necessarily an attempt to make a small elemental plane but some less experienced mages might not see the difference between Walker's goal and that.

He was trying to make a small spatial storage he would be able to mix life and death mana in to so that he would be able to easily store lying items. Specifically, he wanted to establish the portable greenhouse or even the alchemist's garden skill or herbalists garden skill. He even managed to find a book theorizing that a skill called, the druid's forest skill could be learned.

While seemingly just a skill that attached a druid to a forest, there was another interpretation that the skill would allow for a druid to store their entire forest within a unique space. Meaning that their forest could grow safely without there being anyone or anything able to harm it. A potentially beneficial aspect since the forest a druid protected and grew would be their strength as a whole.

It wasn't all failures though. These failed bubbles of space allowed Walker to learn something unique. He could store some higher density manas in to space bubbles. From there he just had to destabilize them and release the mana. Letting the mana out would result in the familiar even if he just went through again. Explosions of manas that caused damage to the surrounding. A very good secretive attack that he could also hide away from later.

Of course Walker was trying to establish a balanced elemental storage that could be grown to hold an entire race while also being able to provide them the manas they ended while there. The issue was that he couldn't balance multiple manas or even keep a singular mana. Whenever he added more than one mana, even allowing some life mana to dribble in, he would watch the bubble burst.

This presented him with too many theories to find about why. He had thought it was the pressure of the manas and he added more space mana. He thought it was a lack of control so he started using only elemental manas. Then he thought it was the fact that he was allowing opposing manas to mix. Now he was just stumped. He couldn't add multiple manas together in any way. It seemed like even making new multi dimensional storage spaces was something that might be impossible.

He has a decent few right now. They had all needed materials to ask as cores and or lots of mana. He had learned that in the best possible way within the elemental planes because he had gained a metal focused storage as well.

"Oh I am an idiot…" Walker wanted to slap himself. He was so focused on the flow of manas and the mixing of manas that he was ignoring the fact that he would and should need some elemental focus. Something to act as the core of what he was doing. Especially since he was focusing on using the storage he created to house an entire village, city, or maybe even a race. How could he manage to do that when he was just was making a bubble of mana pushing to expand?

If he had used a core he could have stabilized the manas in a flow using that core as its center. A safe place of pressure that would allow for the manas to be drawn abc in constantly. So that they could mix without putting pressure on the space mana around and theoretically allowing for the addition of more complicated manas to be smooth.

He had wanted to have some help from Felur while doing all this since she might be able to provide more natural mana. Unfortunately, once they had returned to the world she had gone off somewhere. Most likely a place where she could balance the manas she also absorbed and become more acclimated as a world natural mana spirit. She also was the leader of the entire spirit race even though they were more free and didn't follow the same rigid rules as other races did.

With the realization, Walker took what he had learned and began to create another, larger, bubble of space mana. Enough to show that there was a lot of control he now had over space mana and how it seemed to listen to him now that he knew the rules it liked to follow. When he didn't need to use other manas to force space mana to do what he wanted, Walker found he could feel the flow of space a lot better. His senses were even heightened when he focused on it making him much more sensitive to everything moving around him, even the things not moving too.

If someone had this skill and lacked eyes or were blind, they could move and act as if they had the best sight beyond just normal sight. But for Walker, he was able to feel how the mana around him took up space and how it used space mana as anchors to keep flowing as it desired. As it should naturally.

This being the case, the bubble of space mana had to also have some more calm space mana within it so that the manas could anchor and be able to adjust as they desired. It was another aspect that Walker had been missing entirely. It was also why space resisted him at first unless he used more elemental manas to make space move.

The spatial runes and spatial rune formation didn't work the best that they could because they only used elemental manas to force space to bend to their will and exchanged the manas to teleport items or people. Even that left damage to the runes and the materials used to make the formations. Meaning that if the runes were adjusted with the idea that space mana was the only aspect within them and moving through the formations, then there was a chance that it could all improve. They could achieve a significantly more developed form of teleportation.

Not that this thought lived inside Walker's head for long. He had understood his major flaws and began taking out materials to use as the core of what he was trying to create. His small thoughts about singular elemental storage spaces where he could store a specific singular elemental living being had been pushed to the side in excitement and some enlightenment.

Walker had understood that life mana was free. It flowed and became one with everything it could no matter what. In some aspects, it moved without causing any effect and in others it gave birth to new beings or even intelligent beings. Where death moved, it was slow and unstoppable. It moved and went as it matched the freedom of life but where it dwelled it caused the end of those things life brought out and returned them to the flow of nature through more than just the world. They were two forces that balanced and bonded.

By bringing them in to this bubble of space mana, Walker felt them clash before the natural mana he added become their anchors. The manas in this small bubble were chaotic. They did not live that they had been confined.

Yet, they also anchored and flowed as Walker knew they should and would. To him, it was like the world condensed in to a small bit of mana. He couldn't expand the size of this space, but he could understand and learn from it. Hence why he grinned like a madman when he saw it had been properly added to his spatial storage skill.

This multi dimensional storage skill was not able to store living items and people, as long as they were about the size of Walker's fist. But for him, that was a great start. It was the first stepping stone to him having the chance to one day rescue an entire race if they were in danger.
