The modest inn room offered a moment of solitude for Ejhay. Within its walls, he could concentrate and experiment with his newfound abilities and powers. The room was dimly lit, the flickering candlelight casting playful shadows on the walls.

Ejhay cleared his mind, knowing that his powers were both a gift and a responsibility. With the divine blessings of the gods and the fusion of science and magic, he had a unique advantage in this world. It was time to explore the full extent of his potential.

His first creation was the 'Paralyzed Spray.' Ejhay visualized the spell's intricate patterns and mechanisms, sketching them out in his mind's eye. He could feel the arcane energies gathering around him, responding to his intent. The air in the room shimmered as he summoned the restrained spray, releasing a fine mist that hung in the air for a moment. He marveled at the shimmering particles of magic, each containing the power to temporarily immobilize a foe.

Next, he envisioned a spell of fiery destruction - the 'Flame Bomb.' Ejhay focused on the imagery of an orb engulfed in flames, the flickering fire dancing with chaotic energy. With a wave of his hand and a mental incantation, he sent the fiery orb hurtling into an imaginary target. In an instant, it burst into flames, consuming the imaginary adversary in a blaze of magical fire. The room's temperature seemed to rise for a moment as the spell's heat dissipated.

But the creation that truly set his heart racing was 'Infernal Blaze.' Ejhay delved into the depths of his knowledge, merging the principles of nuclear elements with the arcane forces at his disposal. In his mind, he pictured a volatile fusion of uranium and plutonium, harnessing their unstable energy into a powerful release. The mere thought of such a force was exhilarating and terrifying.

With a deep breath, Ejhay enacted his creation. In the confines of his room, he brought together the arcane energies and the scientific understanding he carried from his past life. He called upon the elements of uranium and plutonium, feeling their raw power surge through him. As he released it, a cataclysmic explosion of fire and energy burst forth in his mind's eye, consuming everything in its path. He could almost feel the imaginary shockwave reverberating through the room, a testament to the devastation he could unleash.

Though he had only created these skills in his mind, Ejhay realized their potential to change the course of battles. The responsibility that came with his blessings was clear. He needed to wield these powers wisely and judiciously, ensuring they did not fall into the wrong hands or endanger his new companion, Elric.

With a sense of satisfaction and awe, Ejhay knew that his journey in this magical world had taken a profound turn. His powers were evolving, and his abilities were expanding, promising untold adventures and challenges. But he also understood the importance of restraint and secrecy. For now, his true strength would remain hidden, a powerful secret he would only reveal when the time was right.
