Erika’s Spirit, Doll House was incredibly unique and had a great assortment of abilities, it was able to attack, defend, heal, and now, it seemed to have two new members. Her Dolls consist of a few fighters, some mages, a few archers, and then healers, their individual attacks are subpar and can be easily resisted, but when they all work together to kill an enemy is when they show their true worth and the immense potential they possess.
It is an incredibly unique spirit that consists of many bodies at the same time, even if one body is destroyed, the others will remain, and the destroyed body will regenerate back rather quickly compared to other spirits that takes days to come back, often taking less than an hour to revive…
Of course, because of the number of bodies, it also consumes a lot of Mana, however, Erika has an incredibly unusual high amount of Mana that comes from having been using Mana since she was revived into her doll body. She constantly used mana for everything unknowingly, which, like a muscle, trained her Mana and made its quantity increase more over time.
“Here, look!”
Erika sat down over the bed at my side, as she showed me the two new dolls. One of them resembled a small dwarf… Yes, it was a small, bearded man wearing what blacksmith usually wear, alongside a small steel hammer. And the other was a girl with brown hair and emerald eyes wearing farmer clothes.
They seemed to be two new “Classes” within her Doll House, Blacksmith and Farmer, but she had no idea how to use them yet. She was able to duplicate dolls, but not to make an infinite amount, if she wanted another mage, for example, she would need to change the Class of another of the existing Dolls. However, it is often better to keep her team balanced.
However, it all depends in which kind of abilities these two new dolls could have, we would have to test them out first.
“Your Blacksmith… Have you tried ordering to do “its job”?” I asked. “Perhaps that might trigger something.
“Umm… Do your job!” said Erika at the little dwarf doll.
The doll looked at her and tilted its head, and then, it extended one of its hand, asking for something… Maybe it needs a piece of metal to start working, or an ingot? Can it make ingots?
I took out a bronze coin from my pocket and gave it to it, the doll looked at the piece of metal as it nodded, suddenly, something wondrous happened after that, it summoned an anvil and its own hammer gained a strong aura of heat, the dwarf started hitting the coin with the hammer and it slowly shaped it as something… an ingot?
“W-What is it doing with your coin?!” she asked. “It is taking its time…”
“Only a coin won’t be enough for much, but… Oh?” I asked in surprise. “It made something…”
“What’s that?” she asked in surprise.
The doll suddenly walked to our side and then gifted us what seemed to be a small finger-sized ingot it had made, it took around thirty minutest to make it, and it was hot to the point it almost burned my fingers, but I took it using magic and submerged it on water for a bit.
“I-It can do what blacksmith does! But it is so small that it can only craft small stuff…” said Erika in disappointment. “That’s not that good…”
“You’re mistaken, Erika… This new doll is amazing.” I said. “You could perfectly ask him to make small accessories infused with magic if we use the right materials, such as rings, necklaces, bracelets, earrings, and more…”
“O-Oh! Right… You’re right, Blake…!” She said. “And maybe if I make all my dolls into tiny blacksmith, they could craft something bigger together? But that would cost a lot of Mana… Phew… That one ingot cost me a lot, it left be a bit dizzy, heheh…”
“Hmm… For now we shouldn’t abuse your powers, if you overuse your Mana, you will end more tired. You’re someone that cannot use your mana too much…” I said. “Be careful.”
“Okay… What about the Farmer one? Hmm…” she said. “I guess it can enhance plants and take care of them? And do other farmer stuff, I don’t think we can show it here though.”
“Yeah, well, I’ll see what it can do later.” I said.
Erika suddenly rested over her bed while feeling a bit tired, maybe she’ll need to increase her mana some more before attempting to use all these blacksmiths that she was planning to make.
“Sigh… I wish I could be normal…” She said. “I hate getting so tired and dizzy… My body is fine but my mind… It sometimes gets all strange and its hard to not get sleepy.”
Hmm… That must be because of her soul getting tired of using too much Mana at the same time, this Blacksmith drained a lot of her mana, I guess she will need to practice with it first.
Nonetheless, her mana should recover quickly as she has an insane mana regeneration, but we have to still deal with her dizziness when she overuses it, something that could help her soothe the mind inside of her soul, as she has no brain inside of her body…
I wish time cold go faster, so I could have the necessary strength and resources to bring her body back. As long as I grow strong enough, my magic will progressively get better, enough materials to make a few ritual magic circles and then… it should be possible to “revive” her, although it wouldn’t be completely a revival with how she was originally as a human… But I guess it would be close enough for her to not mind.
The creation of homunculi is something widespread in the Universe after all, anyone knows how to make some even without proper magic technology, as long as you got enough materials and the magic necessary to do the trick…
