The Eternal In The Magic World

Chapter 14: The Witch's Hand

Learning too much will only consume too much energy. Not only does it take time to meditate, but it may also not give him enough time to study. Magus do not agree with the idea of learning too much because it will take up too little of their time.

Instead, Harold felt he could master everything. After all, he had plenty of time in the world.

However, even though Harold's goal was to learn all the spells, it was a long-term matter after all. What he wanted to do now was to first learn some decent spells, then slowly learn other things.

Because of this, he first chose several spells as the main target of his studies. It was a self-detection, the hands of a witch, and the protection of a wall of wind.

Self-detection is used to check a person's physical condition and other data. It could also check the state of one's spiritual power and its specific value. It was one of the basic spells of a witch.

The witch's hand is easier to understand. It was the use of spell models and filling a large number of elements, then creating a hand of elements that could be controlled. Socerers can control it to fight and even do some other things.

This spell could even be said to be one of the spells required to be learned by an apprentice. Saleen's notes also suggest learning this mantra.

This was because the construction process was very classic, and its strength was unusual. From a Level-1 apprentice to a Level-3 apprentice, it could be used by anyone. Even advanced Magicians had advanced versions of them.

More importantly, these spells can also have different effects depending on the elements you fill. For example, the explosive power of the fire element and the softness of the water element. The proportions were completely controlled by the Magician himself, and the requirements for the magician's control over the elements were not low.

Thus, the mage hand is also one of the most classic apprentice spells.

The reason Harold chose this spell was because of its balanced nature.

The third spell, the protector of the wind wall, was a defensive spell. It could summon wind elements to build a wall of wind, which could effectively block attacks like swords and spears.

The advantage is that it seems to be very effective against physical attacks and is not difficult to learn. Its weakness was its defense against average elemental attacks.

Therefore, there were only a few of his aides who actually learned this spell.

But it was different with Harold. He was currently in the Byrne Empire, where only Knights possessed extraordinary strength. They almost completely relied on physical attacks. Magic that is not recommended for this apprentice is perfect here.

The three spells above were the three spells that Harold had carefully chosen.

More importantly, these three spells did not require any casting materials, which greatly facilitated Harold's material search process. After all, many materials were absolutely impossible to find.

For example, a thorn manipulation spell could only be used after finding a thorn seed with outstanding characteristics. Where can he find her?

That was why there was a disadvantage to learning to be a magician in the Knight Kingdom. That's because the material is not easy to find.

…

Harold prepared to learn a self-detection spell first.

He adjusted his body and took a deep breath.

In his mind, the spirit energy began to turn into runes, and then a self-detection model was built in his mind. Since this was the first time he had built it, Harold was very careful.

However, due to a certain carelessness, the soul fluctuation became unstable, and the model instantly collapsed. The first attempt failed.

Despite his failure, Harold was not discouraged. He recalled the mistake he had made and then started his second experiment. This time, it went well. His model was completed in one go, and he actually succeeded in one try.

He turned on the model.

A ray of light flashed in Harold's eyes, and an invisible spiritual force appeared.

His mental strength shot out from his brain and started scanning his body like a net. From the skin to his internal organs, from the top of his head to the tip of his feet, everything was converted into specific data that Harold had received.

His body was stronger than ordinary people. If the physical fitness of an ordinary person is 1, then his current physical fitness should be 1.2 and his spirit 4.5.

This was all due to his previous progress.

Is it high? Not high!

According to Saleen's records, normal people with a mage talent would have mental strength of over three points even if they had already started meditating. An increase of one to two points is usually considered normal.

Acolyte level 2 required 10 points of spiritual power, acolyte level 3 required 20 points, and an official Magus required 30 points. These were all things that Harold was currently unable to accomplish.

In that case, how much had Harold's spiritual power increased in the past half a month? The cruel truth is 0.025 points. In other words, if he wanted to rise to a level 2 apprentice, he might need more than ten years.

‘I have trash talent!’ Harold pouting.

The golden age to become a witch is before the age of 50. After that, his spiritual power would begin to decline, and it would be extremely difficult to advance. But according to his current growth speed, it might take another 50 years for him to reach 30 points of spiritual power.

As for why it was 50 years, it was because the increase in the spiritual power of a magician was not constant. Acolyte level 1 spiritual power would definitely increase faster than a level 3 Acolyte.

“Maybe Saleen did not expect his legacy to be obtained by an apprentice with such trashy talent,” Harold said in a self-deprecating manner, but his tone was not very melancholic.

So what if it takes a hundred years?

He has a lot of time and is very patient.

‘I wonder if the Empire will still exist back then?’ Harold thought with bad intentions.

“Don't think about this again. Let's keep learning magic.” Taking these thoughts out of his head, Harold decided to start studying the witch's hand.

But this time, not so smooth. The difficulty of the magician's hand was on a completely different level than self-examination. Harold tried all afternoon, but he didn't make it.

…

Two days later, in the forest outside Jun Lin city, Harold took a deep breath, and the spirit flowing in his mind quickly circulated. His spirit flowed like silk thread, and the magician hand model was quickly made.

After a few seconds, a spell model was formed.

Harold's eyes sparkled, and a large number of elements quickly gathered in front of him, and an elemental hand appeared in front of him.

“I finally made it.” A smile appeared on Harold's face. It had been two whole days, and he had only succeeded for the first time. The difficulty of this spell was indeed much greater than quick memories and self-examination.

“The next step is to test the effect.”

With a thought, that elemental hand grabbed the small tree in an instant. With a crack, the small bucket-thick tree instantly broke in two, but its elemental hands did not change.

“besides consuming little spiritual energy, no other problems.”

After controlling it for a while longer, Harold rubbed his temple which started to hurt.

The effect of this spell was not bad, but it consumed a bit of mental strength. For example, he could only cast spells at most five or six times.

“The way of the witch is long and heavy! It's time to go back, ” sighs Harold, glances towards the city, and returns.

The three-day holiday had ended, and it was time to go to work.
