The other two skills of Colora were…

-----

[Summon Painting: Lv1]

Unleash the truest power of Paint Magic and imbue the breath of life into a Painting of your liking, bringing it to reality. The Painting will become real permanently after being summoned, and the Painting registered in the Canvas will be used and disappear. To repeat the same painting, it will be needed to be painted again, but a painting can never be the same as the one before.

Based in the type of painting, different effects that alter reality can be brought. Monsters can be summoned, sceneries can be changed, food can be summoned, and more. All of such Summoned Painting Effects are enhanced by +100% passively, with an additional +50% with each Skill Level.

The limits of quality and power of what can be summoned is based in the MP spent and the Level and Stats of the user alongside the Skill Level.

-----

[Scribble: Lv1]

Use the power of Painting Magic to scribble or make a sketch of something quickly. This scribble or sketch can be easily registered inside the Canvas. This can also be used to write letters easily by spending some MP, or even communicate words and meanings to a different mind. Telepathy is also possible by writing through the other person's soul, and even the ability to rewrite memories. All Effects alongside all Paint-related Skills Effects and Power is enhanced by +100% with an additional +30% with each Skill Level.

This is… insanity.

I see why that damn old man thought Colora would rewrite reality.

Because with enough MP and Stats, she literally can.

Perhaps she wasn't able to grow stronger easily because she lacked a Soul Book, I am pretty sure that the Dao Universe is from my own Dimension, which lacks Soul Books.

So therefore, Colora would had never been able to unlock her truest potential there without having been summoned in Grand Terra and ending up acquiring an amazing Soul Book to go with her.

With the Soul Book, she can develop and grow her stats and max MP, therefore, she can constantly grow stronger and eventually, might really be able to rewrite reality as a whole by merely painting a scenery in a canvas.

"Okay I take back anything I said before, Colora you're amazing!" I said, I felt ashamed of judging her appearance so much.

Painting Magic can really be insane. Maybe even Ailine has this untapped potential? Whenever I get back to Genesis and meet my slime daughter again, I'll let Colora teach her.

"Fofooo!" Colora seemed happy.

"But how come you can't talk even though you got a special ability to write and are intelligent?" I wondered.

I quickly tried to use Fartalk's Telepathy ability and speak to her through the mind.

"Colora, can you speak through here?"

"Awah!" Colora suddenly felt surprised of my voice reaching her mind. "I-I can…!"

"So you can speak rather fluently, little one!"

"Maybe…" Colora answered.

Her voice was like a little girl below five years of age, she seemed to have a hard time formulating words, much like Silver, her mentality must be more childish than even Aquamarine.

"Dear, why can't you talk?" I wondered.

"Dunno… But… I'm happy! Happy to be here… And not in darkness…" She said.

"I see… Well, do you like it here?"

"Yes! Many colors! Me like…! Many ideas!" She said happily, beginning to float around the entire place.

If she was really an Ego, then she can even be used as a weapon. A Paint Brush as a weapon is something I never thought possible, but lo and behold, here she is, and she seems with enough potential to rewrite entire realities.

I guess if it wasn't thanks to the Soul Book, it wouldn't be completely possible for her to grow strong enough through conventional means… And- oh! Right, she even got the Full Dao of Painting to boot! And if she channels the Daos I have into her Dao Painting, she could even bring the power of my other Daos.

But everything is limited to her MP so for now, we have to do a few tests about what she can do or what she cannot do.

"Alright, for now, let's test something. Colora, paint any creature you want!" I said.

"Any?!" She asked.

"And then a small little landscape change…like a patch of grass with flowers, or anything you think." I said.

"Oway! I get it!" She said happily.

Suddenly, she brought out a magical canvas out of thin air and began painting with her brush. Magic Paint began pouring out of her brush, it cost very little Mana. She took roughly twenty minutes drawing everything, but ultimately managed to draw something.

The first drawing was a small baby Pegasus with yellow fur, the second was a patch of flowers and grass sitting in a beautiful background of white sky with clouds.

"Alright… Now use Summon Painting in either of the two." I said.

"O-Okay! Summon Painting!"

POOF!

Suddenly, the Canvas of the Baby Pegasus came to reality, as a beautiful and realistic Pegasus with yellow fur emerged out of thin air, complete and beautiful…

"Woah…" All of us were left speechless.

"She just summoned a little monster!" Black said.

"Amazing… So she's a summoner like Silva!" Said White.

"Silva's… better!" Silva said a bit jealously.

"Cool! I wonder if she can draw us next." Said Aquamarine.

I checked Colora's stats, and she seemed very tired, her MP was zero now, she used all the remaining 4500 MP to summon that little, very small Pegasus, and when I checked the creature, it was alive, warm, and cute. But when I saw its newly formed Soul Book, its stats were abysmal and it seemed to have no skills at all either.

So the limit of Colora's summon powers are baby monsters that can't do much at all other than be pets or… meat. Also giving her my own MP so she can summon something again won't work, her summon is still limited to her maximum MP number, refilling it won't let her surpass her limits. But well, we can think of that later. I guess it worked. I just need her to leech some EXP while we hunt big monsters and then she'll be summoning giant dragons in no time!

"I've really hit the jackpot with her!"

Now, time to move on and go find Elfina. I guess we can keep this little Pegasus and gift it to her or something, so she can have some graceful mount to fly across the skies.
