Eiro placed the book down. It was just the second book of the 36, and it has taken him an annoyingly long time to actually read it. The duplicates in the tower of books of water and fire were each getting through book after book within a matter of minutes, while Eiro barely managed to get through a handful of pages then. It was like he was reading at a regular person's pace. It was simply something that he had to do in order to take in all of the books' information. There really was no other way.
"Are you done?" Partax asked, and Eiro slowly nodded his head. The Demon walked over toward the halfling's side, who had already prepared something that Eiro could test his newly acquired knowledge out with. The first book he read was about inscriptions, and the second about drawing out properties from objects. That included things like pulling magic from magic stones, as well as taking properties from one object and applying it to another, with the assistance of a level of alchemy.
