Supreme Magus novel Chapter 1983

Chapter 1983: Home Away from Home (Part 1)

"As you have just seen, the Firing Range mirrors whatever you attempt against it and then rates it on a simple scale." Lith pointed at a holographic display that appeared beside Solus.

There were five levels, one for each tier of regular magic. They were split into four compartments: low, middle, high, and tower. Then, there was an upper level marked as Spirit Magic with its own tiers and compartments.

Above it, there were Blade Tier spells. Unlike the previous branches of magic, it wasn't split into five tiers. It only had the usual four compartments, hinting that Tower Magic was compatible with Blade Tier spells.

It rated her spell as an intermediate tier five, far from the Spirit Magic tier and even farther from the Blade Tier.

"That's because of my blue core." Solus said with a sigh. "Final Eclipse is a powerful spell, but I lack the necessary mana to manifest its true potential."

"Now, watch this." Lith changed the settings in the holographic display and then he cast a Final Eclipse of his own.

This time the tower replied by using a darkness and water magic spell, Ice Age. Not only was the rating of the spell higher than Solus', but Lith could also experiment with it against all kinds of protections and test its effects.

In the same way, the Firing Range could conjure the spells of the owner of the tower and then fire them at him. When Lith wanted to test a new defensive spell or the Spirit Barrier of his armor, he would have the tower keep his energy signature.

This way, once a spell conjured by the Firing Range broke past his defenses, it would do him no harm. When he wanted to try out the raw defensive power of his armor, instead, he would have the tower change to a neutral energy signature.

The spells could now damage him, allowing Lith to experience how well the Voidwalker armor fared against different elements. The safety protocols of the tower made the attack cease the moment he took damage.

Then, Lith showed them his Blade Tier spell, Ruin. The Firing Range countered it and rated it as a low level Blade Tier spell.

Aside from Salaark, his guests were flabbergasted at the power that Lith had just showcased and even more by the tower considering it weak.

"Usually I would have needed a large empty space, a sparring partner, and lots of arrays to ensure our safety. Now, instead, I can perform all the experiments I want here while Tista helps Solus study my new spells and how they interact with different elemental defenses with the Eyes." Lith said.

"Thanks to the Firing Range, I discovered that my armor is weak against earth magic and changed its enchantments until I fixed the problem. Also, I could experiment with different designs of barriers for the Voidwalker's power core and find out which one was the more energy efficient."

"This is truly a marvel of magic." Salaark placed her hand against the cold stone of the nearest wall, using her breathing technique to study the tower's floor.

She had no ill-will to steal its secrets, it was just her inquisitive nature as a Forgemaster getting the better of her.

"Can anyone use the Firing Range or is it limited solely to you and Solus?" She asked.

"Anyone can." Lith nodded. "The floor is like those training booths back at the academy. It can be temporarily imprinted by a guest and then used to test out their skills.
