I gasped, dropping the cup which clattered to the ground, and felt something new click into place.[Manakinesis 1]Limited control of physical objects with connected mana circuits.“What the fuck,” I muttered with a small laugh of disbelief. I had been attempting to train something like this on and off since I first lost my hand after I realized that my mana circuit had, to some extent, survived the loss of my physical body, but I had never managed to do more than barely nudge something. Eventually, I had put it out of mind to focus on my studies. “What changed?”The influence of [Ambidexterity] must have been a factor. My increased level in [Mana Manipulation] could also have have helped, as well as having more Will.Whatever had been the trigger, gaining the skill had internalized it. I reopened the circuit of mana into the space of my right hand, and bent over to pick up the cup, then placed it on the desk with a huge grin on my face.I stood up, and started walking around my room, picking up various objects and testing out the new skill. It was hard to put a precise label on the limits, but light objects that wouldn’t really strain my wrist could all be moved, whereas once an object hit enough weight to challenge my grip, the object broke my [Manakinesis]. I wouldn’t be wielding a sword with mana alone anytime soon.Presumably, once I could upgrade the skill more, I would be able to move more with it. I might need to increase my Will before that can happen. For now, it was a bit of a novelty, but it felt amazing to have some use of my right hand back again.I was too giddy to do any more studying that night, so instead I just played with my new skill until I tired myself out and fell asleep.
