Chapter 1978: Becoming a Magus (Part 4)

"We can't reveal the existence of Spirit Magic to the public, but if I understood it correctly, you are saying that by mastering these principles, mages would be able to switch elements at will." The King said.

"Correct." Lith replied. "This isn't something that only Awakened or true mages can do, but also fake mages. Imagine the ability to conjure two different spells with a single chant, switching between them based on the circumstances.

"To alter the properties even of arrays, allowing Wardens to lessen their casting time and to give their creations a greater versatility."

"It's amazing." The Queen said while she tried and failed to replicate what Lith had just done.

Her lack of understanding of physics limited her imagination, but her rich experience as a mage and her Domination made her feel how close she was to achieving the same result after listening to a few words.

"Indeed." Lith nodded. "I can't decide what you'll share with the public, I'm just offering you the knowledge worthy of a Magus. What you do with it, it's none of my business."

He could have just revealed the ability of Forgemastering wands to allow fake mages to use Spirit Magic to gain the title of Magus, but that would have angered the Council.

The Awakened community considered Spirit Magic their exclusive and one of the main reasons they still had an edge over fake mages.

Lith couldn't make an enemy of his own people just to solve his personal problems. On top of that, sharing such information would have made him a Magus to fake mages and a joke to Awakened.

It wouldn't be something he had created, but just something he had stolen and exploited. This way, instead, no one would be able to criticize him. This new discipline of magic was of his own making and only he could decide what to do with it.

"In addition to what I've already said, I'm also willing to share with the Kingdom the necessary knowledge to replicate the DoLorean's power core. With it, once the War of the Griffons is over, you can start manufacturing trains that will connect the cities of the Kingdom.

"People will be capable of moving from the countryside to the Warp Gates freely even during winter. The quality of life, security, and the trading of merch will benefit everyone." Lith said.

"People will not be stuck in their villages their whole lives and traveling will not be a luxury that only the rich can afford. Moving merchandise and soldiers will be much more efficient without being limited by dimensional mages. I think you can imagine the rest by yourselves."

At the moment there was only one Light Master at the service of the Kingdom but Quylla was still too inexperienced to replicate something as complex as the DoLorean.

If Lith shared the blueprints of its power core, however, even Forgemasters incapable of using Light Mastery could manufacture it.

It was the same principle behind the widespread communication amulets, shared by one of the rare mages who have become both a Light Master and a dimensional mage, Jeron Klavin.

Hundreds of years ago he had become the second Ruler of the Flames for the Awakened and a Magus for the Empire thanks to his creation.

"We need to present your proposal to the Royal Court and the Mage Association, but this is plenty enough to ensure you the title of Magus." King Meron said while standing up and offering Lith his hand.

"Before you go, there's still a matter that I would like to discuss." Lith shook it, but invited the King to sit again.
