5 Attribute points, wanting to get all my stats into more even I add two to strength. My mana pool is low at the moment so, I can't spam cast spells. Two into mana and last going in stamina, I look over my stat sheet.

Satisfied I drift to sleep. Waking up to the dawn and bird song I examine my body. It's not a huge shift just my muscles feel bigger and tighter ready to react. Stamina I don't know how to feel that change. the mana bar increased by 20 MP. If I can consistently increase my mana pool I should be a force to be reckoned with.
Sleeping for the first time in this body I know I did something wrong, my body is stiff as shit. Sending out my focused heal my body is soon hale. Having a stronger body I just want to test it out. Lowering my front I feel my claws press against dirt. Exploding with a speed I've never felt I let out excited yips. clearing a fallen log I land wrong and go tumbling. The pain isn't bad as I lay panting on my side.
Ignoring my instinct to find some mud to roll in, I trek near the stream in search of food. two hours later I have a collection of nuts and berries stored in my inventory. I intentionally left out mushrooms I didn't feel like testing my heal on poison just yet.
walking into a clearing I smell a similar scent, trying not to shudder at the memory. I try searching for the direction it's coming from. The smell gets stronger as I leave the stream and heading in its direction. Getting a notification, at the same time I see Goblins coming in and out of a cave. Finding a place to watch I find 10 goblins are hanging outside in small huts.

- Increase to perception and smell making it easier to follow and distinguish scents
Hours later I move further away from the encampment. I was able to see 2 more goblins coming out of the cave and that groups of three Goblins left to forage and hunt seems the member I killed made them increased their party size. Two groups would leave with the other half staying behind to watch camp. A few were close enough I was able to see their levels the hunting groups all had a level 3 goblin which given its larger size I could easily pick them out.
I for certain can't take on 3 Goblins head on I almost die from a level 2 that I had the drop on. no, I need a plan and new spells to let me one shot these fuckers.
The next after finding myself some berries and nuts which isn’t filling in the least I get to work using my mana. Trying to figure out where I should let my mana pour from my body. Lifting a paw I let my mana gather. A blue mist starts to form in my hand but it evaporates just as quickly.
The mana so far has been responding to my will. Time to make a staple magic spell anyone would know back home. Gathering my mana again and focusing it into a ball I point my paw at a tree and envision the ball strike the tree. The mana floats away breaking apart a few feet away. Sighing I look replay what happened not enough speed and it broke apart as soon as it left my paw.
One problem at a time first to stop it from breaking apart. Pouring as much mana in my paw and keeping it contained I will fly. Progress staying at the same speed it traveled further until breaking. This time I try pouring mana into the ball not letting it get bigger I soon find resistance letting my know this as much mana I can condense before it pops. Letting it fly it reaches the try before bouncing off. Checking that off my list now on to the next problem.
Now to speed this bad boy up. So far I’ve just been letting it fly by telling it to go. I can’t throw it, my front limbs aren’t going to allow that. Forming the mana into a ball I add a small spring made of mana behind it. Increasing the tension, I release the spring, the Ball erupts from my paw. A loud thwack and tree Innards later I get.

"Hell yeah!" Still, the spell isn't instant cast like want. At my regen rate, it takes 10 seconds to cast. I can most likely speed up the process. I can directly as the mana to both parts of the spell instantly just condensing the mana and loading the firing mechanism should take me down to 5 seconds.
Putting theory to practice I find that making two different shapes at the same time is kinda hard. So, I comprise gathering the mana for both I create the spring then ball. More practice and a greater level in mana manipulation, I could cut the casting time drastically.
Now that I got a ranged spell I need to find something better than bitting. My teeth are deadly. It would be normal if I didn't find it disgusting. I start thing of ways to fight. If my bite doesn't land or kill. I look at my claws. The damage they cause isn't the greatest either. I need better claws and mana can do that for me. Forming larger claws with mana was easier to do since I know the process for keeping mana solid. Forming four large blades on each paw I get a notification.
