Supreme Magus novel Chapter 1334

Chapter 1334 - Poke and Pillow (Part 2)

Faluel handed to Nalrond a silver wand that unlike those belonging to Royal Forgemasters, had a violet crystal on its grip.

"What? How?" Friya was too afraid to formulate a proper question or even worse, allegation.

"Fake mages aren’t the only ones that can learn by imitation." The Hydra shrugged. "The moment I discovered the existence of the Royal Forgemastering wands, I started working on this project.

"Seeing you use them during my lessons was enough to understand their workings since I can use Spirit Magic and I’m an experienced Forgemaster. Finding a way to replicate their effects was just a matter of time."

"Can I take a look at it?" Lith asked.

"Sure. I’m planning to share it with the Council anyway. It will allow us to put our disciples to the test in all disciplines without Awakening them so I didn’t shield it from detection." Faluel gestured Nalrond to pass the wand, which he reluctantly did.

Losing his new toy right after getting it felt bad, but beggars couldn’t be choosers.

Faluel’s wand was an improved version of the Royal Forgemasters’ tool. Once imprinted, it would turn the world energy of the crystal into mana with the same signature of its owner, just like Friya’s hammer.

Thanks to that, the wand could support its master’s spells and reduce the mana expenditure for low tiered spells.

"This is amazing! It’s much better than yours." Lith told the girls, making them curse.

"Thank you." Faluel gave him a small bow. "I made it as a learning device specifically for fake mages who can’t use Invigoration. This way, people like Nalrond should be able to keep up with you during basic practice."

"Can’t we have one as well?" Friya asked.

"Of course." Faluel handed a wand to each one of them.

"Yet none of you is allowed to bring it out of here. If a soldier of the Kingdom sees my wand, you’d be forced to either explain their origin and be killed by me, or be charged with treason and be killed by the Association."

"Now that you’re properly equipped, let’s make a quick recap about Spirit Magic before starting the real deal. How many of you have tried to develop Spirit spells on your own?" Aside from Nalrond, they all raised their hand.

"How many of you succeeded?" Every hand came down.

"I tried weaving Spirit Magic like I do with Light Mastery..." Lith said as Nalrond loudly cleared his throat, sending him a clear "shut up" message. "...but it didn’t work. Spirit Magic can’t sustain itself without an elemental scaffold.

"On top of that, conjuring enough mana for a spell takes a lot of time whereas the slightest interference disrupts it." Lith said.

"All correct. Otherwise I wouldn’t have needed several lessons to learn Light Mastery and all Awakened who can use Spirit spells would also be Light Masters. What about you girls?" Faluel asked the rest of the class.

"I tried weaving Spirit Magic akin to Forgemastering Spells, but it always failed." Phloria said.

"That’s because Forgemastering spells use as a scaffold the item they are cast upon. You actually succeeded in creating new spells, they just faded away before they could have any effect." Faluel patted her head.

"Bravo!" Faluel gave them a round of applause. "Congratulations for your ingenuity but you could never succeed because learning a rune is like learning a single word whereas to make a spell the grammar is important as well." _{ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com}

’No matter how underwhelming its name is, that spell can’t be simple.’ Lith thought while using the maximum strength he could muster without using elemental fusion.
