Supreme Magus novel Chapter 1621

Chapter 1621 - Life And Death (Part 3)

Lith had embedded the black eye first so that the moment the remaining two merged with the staff, the necromantic energies that now flowed through the mana circulatory system would keep the Evil Eyes from rotting while the light element from the silver crystal would feed them.

Lith had to counter the bursts of fire and ice that the eyes released until they became part of the six-elemental flow of energy and recognized the staff as their new body.

"What do you think?" Lith used Spirit Magic to hand the staff to Solus.

"This is amazing." She replied. "Even without any enchantments, it can already provide me with a constant flow of energy that only needs a spark of my life force to become identical to my own mana.

"I need to give the Sage Staff a test run away from the mana geyser, but the ability to filter Mogar's energy signature out is already outstanding."

"What's so different from just using Invigoration?" Tista asked.

"Invigoration loses efficacy over time because your body suffers from both mana abuse and from the aftereffects of taking in Mogar's energy signature." Solus replied. "With this, my only problem is mana abuse."

Then, Lith applied to the staff four sets of runes. The first set would enhance his energy signature so that the mana flow originating from the crystals embedded into the staff would offer less resistance to the Forgemastering process.

The second set would amplify the effects of every pseudo core that he planned to assemble into a power core. It granted an artifact the ability to not only to temporarily boost its single enchantments, but also their combined effects.

The third set would disperse excess energy in the case that casting too many spells in rapid succession overloaded the staff. The runes would also help the wood to withstand enemy spells and reduce the stress that the boosted power core would experience.

Thanks to the three sets of runes, the Sage Staff could now activate several enchantments at the same time without burdening Solus and making up for her lack of body casting.

Also, they would allow both the Staff and its user to replenish their energy reserves faster than normal.

The fourth set of runes, instead, was something that Lith and Solus had created from one of their bounties in Urgamakka that they had combined with the data collected after watching General Vorgh's staff and Athung in action.

The runes by themselves had no effect nor would they even be linked with the power core. At a first glance, they were just a bunch of random very intricate runes, but at a second glance, one would notice that they were all related to arrays.

Yggdrasill wood was famous for its ability to mix spells and Lith planned to exploit it. Whenever Solus would need to cast an array, by activating those engraved in the staff she would save herself the time and energy to weave the most complex runes.

It would significantly reduce the time and focus required to cast the most common types of arrays.

Solus traced a golden circle in the air while infusing the staff with her mana. Several runes left its surface and joined the circle, filling the empty spaces that she had left on purpose.

The moment the sequence of runes was completed, Silverwing's Hexagram appeared above the Forgemastering lab.

'Dammit, this doesn't bode well.' Solus said while noticing that the presence of the crystals and eyes messed up her control. The Sage Staff seemed to have an unquenchable hunger that constantly depleted the circle. _{freewёbnoνel.com}
