After I have jumped on one of my flying mounts I estimated with my current speed i will approximately reach Magnolia in roughly 2 hours that doesn't mean the area I was in was close no it is just the mount is this fast especially after the summoner skill increases all stats by 50%
While I am on my way I thought if I should start doing in lucky draws but I refrained myself from committing the same error as what happened before
"One of the biggest hurdles I'm facing right now… is mana recovery. I keep using mana for lucky draws—non-stop. The problem is, to increase my maximum mana capacity, I need to let it fully recover first. But that almost never happens. I'm always spending it before it fills up, which means my body doesn't get the signal that it should grow the 'mana container'.
It's like trying to fill a barrel with a hole in it. If the barrel never fills, how can it ever stretch to hold more?"
For example, let's say my max mana is 800. If I use 500, then rest until I hit 800 again, my body recognizes the full recovery and increases the limit to, say, 810. But if I use 500, then use another 300 just as I'm recovering, I never hit full—so the limit stays where it is. It's frustrating."
"I've been trying to get a basic mana regeneration skill. Or at least health regeneration. Something to lighten the load. But I was naive.
I thought I could just draw a low-quality passive early on—Tier 2 or 3 maybe—and slowly upgrade it over time. Stack duplicates, merge fragments, do it the logical way. But now that I'm deeper into this mess, I get it.
What I'm asking for isn't just some beginner trick. I'm asking for a passive skill that constantly gives me something for nothing. No chanting. No casting. No cooldown. Just steady mana or HP flowing into me like a leaky faucet that never stops. That's Tier 5, minimum. Passive effects like that… they break the rules of balance.
And the draw talent knows it. After I got the skill board, after merging some cards and unlocking shard fusion… everything slowed down. It's like I burned through my starter luck. It's not just harder to draw quality anymore—it's borderline impossible.
I even got excited when I pulled this:"
—————————
Card: shard of picture fragment 46 of mana regeneration
—
Tier:1
—
Type: Shard
—
Amount of use: 1
—
Description: Need to collect all 10 to make the shard 46 of mana regeneration then to get full skill you need to collect all 100 picture shard to make a picture
——————————
so it is a crazy amount if we do simple math
"That's… 10 × 100 × 10. That's 10,000 shards just to activate one single Mana Regeneration skill. And this is just one version of the skill. Probably the lowest tier too. God help me if I want the Tier 6 variant. This isn't a skill tree—it's a black hole."
"And even when I thought, fine, I'll merge picture fragments myself—turns out I can't. Not unless I have the matching type, and number . Figures."
I sigh heavily on my pitiful future of having mana deficiency
"So yeah. Passive regeneration? A dream. A distant, Tier-5+ dream."
Because I have been doing a lot of testing my talent is more like a wishing power for example I tested out using this method

Lucky draw:
—————
World: Fairy tail
—————
Category: [Money], [modern], [real], [location]
—————
Energy: 10/mana
—————
Energy required: 10*2 +10*2 +10*2 +10*2 =80
————————
You'd think wishing for money would be easy. It's money. Everybody wants it. But no—
The first time I tried, I got coins. Lots of them. Looked like real money. Felt like real money. But they were 400 years old. Outdated. Useless.
So next, I added the tag [modern] thinking I was clever. And hey, it really worked—sort of. I got paper currency. Problem was… it was fake. The kind of fake that would get me arrested
I panicked. Tried [real] next, expecting an easy fix. It wasn't. The talent gave me legal currency—but from a completely different continent. Great. Technically real. Totally unusable.
That's when I realized the talent worked was absurdly literal. And my luck was not helping me at this what so ever so I added
So I added [location]
—————————
Card: jewels- 10,000
—
Tier:1
—
Type: currency
—
Amount of use: 1
—
Description: currency of the citizen of Fiore
——————————
"Ten thousand Jewels. Not bad. Usable. Real. Local."
"There's another reason my mana never recovers…"
"It's not just the constant Lucky Draws. It's the way this talent of mine works. The more energy I pour into it, the more accurate and useful the results become. But that accuracy comes at a cost."
"I've noticed it by now—when I use barely any effort, the results are garbage. Useless antiques, irrelevant junk, or nonsense items from the wrong time and place. But when I push myself… when I burn through most of my mana and pull anyway—that's when something worthwhile drops. Like the Fiore currency."
"And because of that, I'm almost always drained. I can't build my mana reserve because I never stay full long enough. I'm trapped in a loop: spend mana → get something good → stay weak. I can't even work on growing my core properly. I keep cutting the roots before the tree can grow."
"Maybe that's the true drawback of this gift. The price of precision is sacrifice. High potential—but unstable footing. Every draw I make keeps me alive… but also keeps me stuck."
"And that's why I still don't have even a basic regeneration skill. Because drawing one would mean pouring in more than I can safely afford. Again."
So for the future I will try to get my mana to at least B rank so I can start using mana to draw a specific draw.
As my mount cut through the sky, wings outstretched in smooth rhythm. I leaned forward, arms resting on the creature's neck, letting the chill air bite my face.
We'd been flying for nearly two hours. And for almost the entire flight… I'd been thinking.
Not about the distance. Not even about what I'd find in Magnolia.
But about mana.
My current maximum sat at 8,000. A decent amount for someone at my stage. More than most. But it never felt like enough.
"Because I keep spending it. Every time. Over and over again."
It wasn't even in combat. It was just me… and this strange, selfish talent I'd been born with.
Every draw I made, I could go easy. Toss out a vague wish and see what came. But that wasn't how I worked.
I needed specific results. Real items. Real solutions. That meant layering tags. Adding conditions. Narrowing scope. Trial after trial, test after test—each one burning mana like paper in fire.
"Fake currency. Then outdated currency. Then the wrong continent. Then finally… finally—Fiore's jewels."
It worked. Eventually. It always did. But by the time I got what I needed, I'd spent half my energy or more. And I never stayed full long enough to grow. I couldn't stabilize my core. Couldn't train properly. Couldn't risk the forest.
"All because I keep trying to force perfection out of a talent built on randomness."
I exhaled slowly.
Then I saw it.
Nestled beyond the rolling hills, pressed against the edge of the towering East Forest, Magnolia appeared like a breath of peace. A town of stone walls, clustered homes, and smoke rising lazily from chimneys. No giant towers. No glowing barriers. Just a quiet strength in its layout.
And beside it, the East Forest loomed like a sleeping beast—ancient, deep, and heavy with silence.
My chest tightened, but for once, not from stress.
"This is it."
The mount began to descend, wings tilting in preparation. I adjusted my coat, flicking a thumb over the last card shard I'd drawn.
8,000 mana max. Less than half left.
But I'd made it.
Magnolia
