This potion would allow him to build the most solid foundation imaginable in magic, which was perfect for his future growth.
Oliver let out a smile as he imagined his bright future, before calming himself.
He checked his status screen.

Oliver smiled lightly while looking at his increased stats, his mana had increased by 20, while his regeneration had multiplied by 5. An incredible boost considering this was merely a side effect.
The real boost came to his [Fluidity] or talent. Oliver still couldn't see the exact number, but by the smoothness that [Mana Bolt] came out just now he guessed that it was between 800 and 1000. Simply incredible. He hadn't even heard of someone getting 1000 in a normal stat. Yet here he was, having it in a hidden one.
Feeling his incredible talent Oliver, as a mage naturally wanted to quickly pull out some sort of spell book and start reading it. He was just too curios if something may have changed now that his talent was so high.
You see normally even though mages preformed spells themselves in the tower, they didn't learn them themselves.
They learned them with magic books, which would automatically crumble upon selecting you wanted to learn the spell.
Many mages had tried, through their thirst of magic knowledge, to go back to those low level spells they had long learned and try to truly understand the runes in the spell book. But even if they did nothing changed.
Yes they suddenly had a better understanding of the spell they could cast, but that didn't make it more powerful.
The worse part was that the intuition required to understand a spell book was dozens of times higher than the intuition required to learn the spell through the system.
'If I believe that old guy Ferdinant this should be just enough to create my own spells, which should lead to me being able to learn true spells or something.'
Ferdinant, a true veteran of the tower was commonly known as a ancient relic on the 6th hub world. He had been there as long as anyone could remember, and even far before that.
Normally he didn't interact much with most of the people on the 6th hub world. Oliver however had the chance of becoming somewhat of a student of his.
One of the secrets he learned was that of a side of [the tower] he had never heard of. A side full of mystery, filled with things even most on the 69th floor could never even think about.
Oliver naturally wanted to know more, but Ferdinant always blew him off, saying that Oliver would only be in danger if he knew too much without the required qualifications.
After hearing this Oliver started to pestered Ferdinant day and night for said qualifications. Until one day Ferdinant cracked and just shouted.
"YOU WANT TO KNOW, FINE, NO ONE QUALIFICATION CAN BE THE SAME, SO YOU HAVE TO FIND A WHOLE NEW ONE, BUT YOU'RE IN LUCK BRAT, I JUST SO HAPPENED TO FIGUER ONE OUT, REACH AT LEAST 750 MAGIC TALENT AND INVENT YOUR OWN SPELL."
Oliver was naturally stumped by that. What the hell was he speaking of, inventing your own spell, learning a spell yourself wasn't even possible, let alone that.
But he didn't really have the requirements to complain about that as he didn't even have the magic talent required to even complete the first step.
Oliver knew Ferdinant as many things, but one thing he was not, a liar, at least to his students. But he also knew that 750 magic talent wasn't possible for him to reach.
That was, until now.
'Forget it, I should first find a way to raise my intuition a little, it wouldn't matter how much talent I have for magic if I'm dumb as bricks.'
Jumping down from the tree Oliver made long journey back to the outer city of the kingdom. Due to this long journey he didn't have to wait for his money anymore, as more than a day had long passed.
Oliver thus quickly made his way towards the thieves guild hideout, where he was welcomed with open arms after recalling the password. This time no strange test were given as he sat down at the bar.
"A sir Blade, what a pleasure to see you. I'm happy to inform that all the info you have provided was completely correct. And that our heist of said jewels also proceeded smoothly."
The bartender than proceeded to place wooden box, around the size of 2 loafs of bread on the counter.
"500 gold, your share of the profit, as you have no way of transferring them I assume you will want us to temperately hold the materials you requested?"
Hearing that Oliver was lightly surprised.
'They managed to get everything I requested already?'
"Well, kind of, I would like to make use of the advanced crafting rooms the guild has, I am willing to pay the small fee of course."
The bartender nodded, as if he expected this, and took out a chard written on a scroll with pricings on them.
"Can I have a rough estimation on how long, and how many rooms will be in use, sir Blade?"
Oliver didn't even look at the pricing as he replied.
"I would like 1 week of both the highest level alchemy, array crafting, and enchanting rooms. Not simultaneously but one after the other, also provide me with one servant during my stay."
The bartender nodded as he took the needed money from the wooden box still on the counter, which was barely 2 gold. And motioned for Oliver to follow him through the door behind the bar.
