*FWWOOOOOSSHHH!!!*
"Aw Fuck!" You exclaimed as you dodged the magical wave from the imploding ritual-
BOOOM!!
"Contain!" And cries the next word, a magical command making your eyes and hands glow in eldritch energy with each letter said, forming a bubble of arcane around the raging inferno formed from the faulty spell, luckily, you managed to contain it before it turns you into magical ashes.
You are a sorcerer...
Kind of...
You were still new to this.
All started after you moved to your new house - which came fully furnished for such a cheap price (it lacked a few more chairs and beds, though), it isn't a long story because by the third day; you found a secret compartment in the basement's floor containing a set of stairs that goes further underground and it led to the entrance of an old bunker. Said the bunker was very well preserved and rebuilt to be a library rather than bomb-proof shelter, it had all sort of ancient-looking books and tomes but what brought your attention was a corridor that led to a temple, a circular one at that.
The center of the temple had a desk containing notes and diaries. At first; it looked like non-sense given that deals with stuff that was proven to not exist and left but stuff started to become bizarre shortly after, all kinds of supernatural phenomena occurred almost on regular basis; floating and moving objects were the most glaring ones, it would also explain why the house was so cheap to you, everybody that lived here thought there was a ghost haunting here.
You wanted those things to stop as you didn't want to move out again and that's exactly what you did - reading through the notes and other books on the bunker-library you started to control those outbursts, little by little you learned more by harnessing those abilities and wild energies through rituals and other assorted witchcraft. You came to realize that magic was real and not as complicated as fiction portrays it but it was time-consuming, nevertheless, you were on the verge of becoming a real mage because of this which was funny; what started as a necessary thing to create a form of normality in your own home became something to be explored, to learn more from this.
For months, you started on the control and overall tameship of wild arcane energies around the house, bunker, and temple then using it yourself, and in doing so; you started to develop metaphysical organs according to the notes, making it easier to handle the arcane energies as if it were part of you. It seemed that the more you trained, the more you became more than a normal human, a homo-magi.
You learned alchemy, enchantments, charms, some elemental and defensive spells and now you were trying for space and time spells.
In short, making rifts, portals, and overall teleportation.
Teleportation was given as it was easy; concentrate on gathering some of the inner energy, think about where you wanna go, and mentally trigger it to teleport there, portals or wormholes was more of a challenge to do as it utilize a series of complex words, movement sets and other kinds of requisites...
But all ends rather explosively...
And here you are, trying to make a portal.
"Ugh!" You grunted maintaining the bubble containing the explosion but as soon you see it die out you dematerialized said bubble, making you sigh in relief but upon seeing nothing but smoke filling up the area, you scowled, after seeing the 3rd attempt being almost a disaster, using alchemy you turned the excess of smoke into breathable air and looked at the damage; a scorched perfect circle.
"What I'm doing wrong?" You muttered, using telekinesis, you bring one of the magic books set on the space and time topics. "It is the setup or its.." You try to evaluate what you're doing wrong, you looked at the content and instructions but all the instructions were right...
... until you saw the note, a handwritten one below the instruction, likely from the owner.
"... Why I didn't see this before..?" You ask yourself, it seemed strange that you omitted this as you were careful on reading the instructions. Closing the book, you sighed again but was determined to start again and get it right, there was no point to question it, only making sure no detail escapes you anymore when reading those tomes.
At least, you got something out of this, even if it was a little bit too convenient.
***
"Oh masters of space and time, heed my call!"You start up the ritual again but this time with multiple arcane symbols instead of a single, large one, the markings glow in pure energy as a swirl of eldritch purple electrical smoke forms into a vortex of pure power right above them but it wasn't done, the speech needed to be said "Allow me to move through your domain, allow me to see through the infinite impossibilities and traverse realities!"
WHHOOOOONNN~~!
In a flash of light, a bright purple and blue vortex materialized right in front of you...
But it did work or does something happen?
