Bab 309: 309 First Flight

Once Janet was satisfied that she wouldn't fall out of the plane, and the plane itself was pointed down the clear ridgeline to the south of the river, with the spells all double-checked for functionality, Ella gave everyone the thumbs up and began to add mana to the motor from the stored crystals.

For the first flight, she intended to refrain from using her own mana-gathering ability to feed the plane so that they could see how well it flew on its own and for how long.

It would be without cargo, but that had seemed a bit ambitious for a first flight with an experimental design, no matter how many rickety versions might be flying around the swamps of Morgana Coven.

The plane was surprisingly loud, with the propellor being forced through the air by the electromagnetism spell on the motor, and as Ella increased the power, the plane went from stationary to rocketing forward and lurching into the air in only a few seconds.
