The Asshai's Bloodmage

 After seeing the last cave, I calm down, put aside everything I saw inside and focus on reading the information about the other system messages by clicking (+).

[Magic runs throughout your body, the Blood Mage spells Alteration and Synthesis have been fully unlocked] (-)

The Blood Mage spells from the system are now available due to the effects of coming of age:

[Alteration: Allows you to use magic to make changes to your body or the bodies of others, the changes can be temporary or permanent, the degree of the change varies according to your knowledge and understanding of the biology of the target's body. Be careful, improper and careless use of the skill can result in the creation of mutants or new species.]

[Synthesis: Mix and combine various elements, organic and non-organic materials. Be careful, combining certain elements and organic materials from certain creatures may result in explosions, contamination, or new diseases.]

These two skills are truly focused on genetic manipulation and show the true potential of the Blood Mage, but the warnings about the consequences are truly worrying and I must take them very seriously.

[A heritage within your body reacts to growing older and begins to awaken] (-)

A power of unknown origin latent in your body reacts to the awakening of growing older.

So this "heritage" doesn't have something to do with the system? I have some thoughts on this, but I can't confirm anything right now.

[A primordial fire rune marked on your heart has been awakened] (-)

A primordial fire rune created with ancient magic in the depths of the 14 flames. It has been completely fused for 16 years in your heart.

The rune allows the creation of 1 innate fire spell*.] (-)

[Innate spells: These are spells that do not require the use of reagents, preparations, totems, or sacrifices to cast. They use only the power of the material from which they originate.]

There are no details on how this came to my heart, but I finally understand a little more about how spells work and the ways to use them.

[The knowledge of creating fire totems has been included in your mind due to inheritance] (+)

This one is simpler, I feel the knowledge in my mind, as if I always knew before today and could create more totems. Although I already have 3 of them, the items to create a single totem are too extravagant, just the gigantic fist-sized ruby ​​and the dragon bones make me not pay attention to it for now.

[Three totems created with the fireball spell have been linked to your bloodline, and now that you have reached adulthood, a connection has been formed.] (-)

You have inherited 3 unlinked totems that belonged to your bloodline. If the user dies or breaks the link, the next in line can inherit the totem if certain conditions are met.

Number of fire totems: 3

The fire rune in my heart, the knowledge in my mind, and the 3 totems prepared for me. It seems that my mother left much more than just an old sword and money. Could she have made these arrangements foreseeing her death? Or was it just a gift for her son? I sigh, leaving my suspicions aside for now…

After finishing reading the messages, I am leaving my cabin still reflecting on the inheritance when I see my reflection in the mirror, my eyes that before had a barely visible red tone and that could only be seen very close up are now a blood red color! I imagine that it is a consequence of the effects of growing old, I follow outside my cabin to the location of the prostitute's cabin, which is the most isolated on the ship, near the stern, and decide to test my new fireball spell. I reach the edge of the sailboat facing the direction of the sea, I look around to see if there is anyone watching me and I point my hands down and think about the totem and a fireball. Suddenly, two balls twice the size of a tennis ball appear and fly very quickly towards the sea before the water devours them both and a quantity of steam comes out of the places where they disappeared. I look around to confirm that no one was looking again and click on the system status.

A lot has changed, since when did I get these titles? The Red Sage was something I disclosed on purpose to give some kind of veracity to the rumors. This is a title I have, but few people know it's me... No, wait, Omar and others on the ship must suspect it's me, that's why the title appeared. The seer seems simpler and must be one of the people I warned to leave the city, predicting that something "bad" will happen. Then I turn my eyes to the number 7/9 on the fireball and quickly look at the description, it says the number of times I can use this spell per day, three for each fire totem. It also says that the number can decrease if I leave the range of Valyria. Wait! Doesn't that mean they're all here? I look back at totem number 3, where I saw two mysterious figures and a dragon, I try to focus on it again and what I see in the cave this time leaves me completely amazed.
