บท 8: ch8-Tutorial (3) a new trait
These 3 hidden magic attributes are the following.
[Control] allowed one to have more control over a spell before it was cast. Oliver could use his huge [Control] stat to over or underwhelm particular spells and adjust their power.
For example, if Oliver added an additional two points of mana to a 'Mana Bolt,' its destructive might would experience a large increase. Similarly, he could conserve mana if he wished only to deal with weaker enemies.
[Psych] regulated control over a spell after it was cast. Under the [Tower], the spell 'Mana Bolt' shot reasonably fast in a straight line, and exploded slowly after impact.
Challengers had no way to affect this, but if a mage's magic was released, and a climber had a huge amount of mental power (indicated by the hidden [Psych] stat), they could change its speed, explosion time, direction of travel, and even alter it midway after cast.
Olivers mental power hadn't reverted when he went back in time, thus it was as easy as snapping his fingers even if he wished his 'Mana Bolt' to do a few cartwheels before hitting an enemy.
Finally, the third hidden attribute was called [Fluidity] and it was a representation of a mage's talent. Talent tended to be something elusive and uncertain back on Earth, but here it could be represented simply through numbers.
Moreover, it had a big impact on a mage's future.
Talent measured how fluidly his mana could travel inside his body.
With high [Fluidity], a mage could cast spells faster, cooldowns would decrease, and it would even open possibilities for dual casting, etc.
At higher levels, it could determine if some spells could even be cast at all, as they may require mana to contort with acrobatic flexibility, something impossible if one's mana was sluggish or tough.
Oliver originally had pretty decent talent, but as he started challenging higher floors it became obvious that he was at the lower end when he looked at the genius mages all around him.
But Oliver wasn't deterred, he spend countless hours and money to increase his hidden attributes, to the point were he could be considered in the upper middle tier amongst the top mages.
When considering what floor he was currently on, Olivers talent was second to none at this moment.
If he were to put it in numbers Oliver guessed that he roughly had 300 in these hidden stats.
But that thought was interrupted by the last message.

[Postpone Trait Selection]
Not even looking at any traits Oliver directly chose the [Postpone Trait Selection], it wasn't like Oliver didn't want any of them, no, on the contrary, traits were exceptionally rare to come across outside your starter trait and class traits.
It was just that all of these traits, although useful, could not help him in the long run, as they were all at the most [White] grade. But if he postponed the selection, he would gain a much better pool to choose from in the future.
Having completed everything necessary before starting the tutorial Oliver started lightly jogging towards a large town barely visible from were everyone was summoned. It wasn't like he was the first one who had this idea, so he simply followed the crowd.
On the way he distributed his starter 5 AP, since there wasn't a leveling system all AP was gained through rewards, from either clearing a floor or completing some kind of challenge.
Since Oliver already had decent enough physical stats for a mage of his calibre, he decided to put all his AP in his magical attributes, except for intuition, which wouldn't help him much at the moment due to the inability to learn spells in the tutorial.

Oliver also decided to not invest any AP in Regeneration, since even if he did, the mana regeneration he would get would be negligible.
Magic Power on the other hand was pretty useful, but since Oliver knew how to power up spells on his own it could be less prioritized.
The tutorial world was extremely small in size, only having 1 kingdom. Well it was more accurate to say that the space the challengers could traverse was rather small, the inhabitants of floor 0 could move to other kingdoms to do trade and much more.
Due to this small size it took barely a day of walking to get to the capital city of the kingdom. It was truly noting much, having only a few government buildings, aristocrat homes, and general buildings of this worlds largest organizations within its inner walls.
Outside the city walls lived most of the people, about 50 thousand. Most of the Challengers directly stormed their way to the inner city, thinking of themselves as some kind of protagonist.
'The will learn soon.'
The identity you were given in the tutorial wasn't specified like it did in many later floors, but you were basically a beggar, with no money and no home. That was the first problem Oliver had to fix. After all, challenging floors wasn't done in one day, the main event of the tutorial floor took 2 months to happen.
Unlike the other challengers Oliver made his way towards an inconspicuous building only a block or so away from the inner city gate. Upon knocking on the door a little sliding door opened, 2 rough looking eyes behind them.
"What you want?"
"I don't want anything."
Said Oliver not moving a mussel, after a silence of about half a minute the door creeped open, inviting Oliver in.
