Mana: the capacity of how much mana you can hold, this is the bad construct of most elements of magic and is a crucial step for how it is inherently transformed into all of the ‘magic’ it is a more complex version of arcane giving it the properties to be transformed into element and the works of magic itself

Vitality: the capacity of the soul and its connection to the life force The feeds it gives life to the body that you use.

Strength: the ableness to perform physical tasks, allows better authority over magic, it can be useful when not attuned but is less so, activities will take less stamina and less effort the higher your strength is

Dexterity: your capabilities of being able to work efficiently when making physical movements and agility-based movements as well as the ability to focus on multiple tasks at once and to do those efficiently.

Endurance: your resilience to forces against you and your overall density against forces, increases weight as well as the ability to not be staggered when being hit with forces.

Wisdom: The ability to receive information and use it effectively, as well as the body's ability to generate unique mana to use.

intelligence: the capacity of how much the mind can remember to do at once for one task, as well as the capacity of how much mana your body and core can hold at once and how to move and manipulate into your will at once

My mind seemed to understand these all to a specific point that it felt pleased with, I was starting to get used to the feel of ‘Inquisitive Eye’. It seemed way too useful when trying to figure out as much information from little amounts. I guess having a large amount of wisdom is because of my tail being attuned to arcane as well as my subspecies being ‘Magictouched’ allows for such a capacity and use of mana itself which is quite good if I'm being honest, I want so badly to use my Race skill ‘attuned disperse’ but my ‘inquisitive eye’ drifts me into another direction.

I looked down at my friend, still struggling to move my lumpy neck but it got a little easier, he seemed to be softly snoozing close to where my legs were, off to the right in my spacious crib. It had only been what seemed like an hour or 2 and after getting to know my status well I decided to just go to sleep. I felt really tired after that overall because of my tiny baby body. I laid down next to my friend trying not to rustle too much and I softly fell asleep being warmly basked in arcane energies as my tail coiled around my body.

***

I awoke later as I saw a softer orange hue in the room. I knew it was beginning to become night, I had no idea how long I had been asleep but it felt like a couple of hours at least. My hex friend was not next to me anymore but he was up on the corner of my crib on the wooden railing that I, surprisingly, could reach. It was extremely hard to get up on my lumpy and weak legs, but I did, and then instantly fell on my butt. I made a grunting noise as I landed my Hex friend looked at me and giggled, it sounded ethereal in nature as if the mana around him produced the noise.

I looked at him and made a frustrated grunting noise, but I couldn't help but laugh at the creature, it just seemed to observe and laugh which seemed so simple yet funny to me. I heard a noise outside of the room I was in, it wasn't too big if I were adult-sized. It had a desk and a bed next to each other in the other corner of the room and a window that I couldn't see out of.

I heard footsteps approaching from out of the curtain like a doorway, I quickly crawled up to the restricting bars of this crib and peered through it to see who it was. A large figure walked through, she looked extremely feminine, and I don't mean features, she had a slight hourglass figure with an abnormally large bust. She looked my way and smiled a sweet smile. I felt my tail wiggle behind me. I knew something it wasn't only my ‘inquisitive eye’ telling but I knew deep within me.

“Euuugh!” I exclaimed even though she had no clue what I was saying. I took my arms through the crib trying hard to get her to come my way but she was already on the way.

My mother picked me up with a warm smile and an embracing hug overwhelmed me. It felt… Fuzzy, very fuzzy. Not like the butterflies in your stomach but physically fuzzy. I looked closer to my mother as she spoke in a language that I just simply didn't understand. I saw a yellow-orange-colored fur, but it wasn't fur like a dog but... Different. It was a very light hue to it. I could even see the skin under it, it looked the same as my skin lighter tone with a carapace in the space of the outer areas, but she had less it gave room for her fuzz.

We embraced in a swaying hug as she said some more stuff in baby talk that I couldn't understand. My tail swayed along with us. I had felt so happy and I knew exactly why. It was the connection we had. She imprinted on me because she is my mother. It may be our primal monster origins or the fact that if I was a normal infant I would let my instinct take over a lot more but I just felt happy and relieved to be in her embrace. I giggled in her arms as she held me out at arm's length and I stared at her and finally got a good look. It reminded me of a bumblebee, or maybe because she was busty she looked like a queen bee, her hair was jet black that was curled and she had 2 very small antennas with yellow fuzz at the tip of them. She looked beautiful and extremely fit, she had a tail that swayed as well but a lot lower to the ground as if she had trained it to stay down with her emotions but we both knew that emotion got the better of us.

The tail was a lot bigger than mine and wasn't slim in the slightest. It was the opposite of an hourglass figure and it ended in a deadly-looking spike. I realized I was entranced by her beauty and so did she. She let me hang there taking her in in awe, she had a huge smile on her face and said something in a smug tone and I knew it was something along the lines of ‘I know, momma’s beautiful,’

I giggled to myself at her self-confidence and she seemed to resonate with the feeling. She stopped for a second to look at me with an inquisitive stare. I stopped giggling and followed her stare, she was looking at my tail, it was thrumming with a purple and blue mix as I was swaying it. Stopped it and brought it to me examining it further It seemed overfilled with arcane energy and my inquisitive eye was telling me to discharge it but as I went to use my skill my instincts were telling me otherwise, I knew I was attuned to the magic to I could just put it into my body right? ‘inquisitive eye’ was wondering just as I was, I decided to finally use my attunement to my Arcane and cycle it through my body I put my hand out just in case it came shooting out but just as I started cycling it through my body my Hex friend came into existence and my mother went wide-eyed.

My Friend seemed to use his attunement as well with me to cycle it as well but with what seemed like an extreme amount of finesse. My body sizzled as I felt a jolting pain go throughout my body in a pattern that took turns at my joints and swirled around my body. I let out tiny squeaks as the pain spread through my body. My mother bobbed up and down not knowing what to do as my body was enveloped by the arcane energy. It felt as welcoming as it usually did but too warm, I could feel the sweat rolling down my face as the only thing I could focus on was directing the arcane energies through me, I had a huge help from my friend as my mom now held me close to her body, I could hear her skin burning, not just burning but boiling under the heat the arcane was producing. I felt my mana leaving me but getting resulted and soon it all stopped.

‘Ting’ through the experimentation with a high level arcane(Magictouched) attunement at a low level, arcane has been circulated through your body at high amounts as the backlash of a wisdom that is too high for the physical body. The Attunement based passive skills [Passive Arcane Flow] and [Arcane Enhancement] have been learned

[Passive Arcane Flow]: having been born with a (magictouched) attunement of the arcane property the backlashes usually being heavy mana poisoning have been cycled through your body. Arcane energies now flow through the body passively without a need to change your unique mana to it when using your attunement and you gain a (300%) increase to all creations of arcane and a (150%) to all different magic construction, gain a (32%) increase to mana regeneration.

[Arcane Enhancement]: your body has been engraved with arcane itself, engraving it into your very muscles and bones, you gain a passive (4%) to strength, dexterity, and endurance, this scales slowly with wisdom (now 35%). When willed, arcane will aggressively flow through your body enhancing to the max and gaining an (80%) increase to attacks and movements made while active, control of arcane is heightened as well for the cost of mana.

I didn’t have time to study what had just happened my world was spinning and there was now another figure covering me as well as my friend hugging me and trying to get me to focus on them, it was hard but after the arcane within me had settled everything seemed so sharp and keen I looked at the three encompassing me my mom and the other woman holding me had tears streaming down their faces. They took a second to look at me to make sure I was ok. I felt fine if anything better than ever with the new arcane energies within me but I felt extremely sore and found myself unable to move. I decided to look at my vitality to make sure I was ok

Mana: 0/1300 (2093 m/h) m=mana

Vitality: 17/100

I was… stunned, I didn’t know what to do except to feel the embrace of my loved ones and a new addition I just sat there letting it all sink in. from now on I wouldn't be reckless with mana or the powers of this world. I looked up at my mother and felt guilt and sadness instill itself onto me. She had scalded skin all over her hands, arms, and bussom. After we embraced for what seemed like 30 minutes the other woman left on what looked to go get someone.

The person they got seemed to have a lot more clothing than the women in the room. It's weird why all of them are women, I saw arcane… no magic construct happen in front of the doctor after examining the burn on my mother, the burn skin seemed to be basked in a green shimmer, a magic type, my brain blurted out as the now charred skin ‘regenerated’ after she had removed it, it seemed that my mother didn’t wince too insanely bad, it was as if she had a resistance to it.

The skin on her arms and outer bussom had now been returned back to normal after what seemed to be another 30 minutes but I saw a scar that persisted even after the doctor had tried to stop it, it was as if her skin was torn all the way down her sternum. My stomach dropped when the realization hit me… it was… my fault. I crawled on the ground as fast as my little legs could take me, with my new enhancements I got to her quickly as I tried to get close to her she picked me up with a sympathetic look. All I wanted to do at that moment was tell her I was sorry to try and heal it myself. She took me into another hug as the other woman did as well after she bid farewell to the doctor, the Hex wasn’t there but I had a vague feeling of where he was.
