Supreme Magus novel Chapter 595

Lith had dubbed the two methods as Necro Forge and Bloom Forge respectively.

The former followed the same pattern Lith used to create his lesser undead. Back in Zantia, his plan E involved keeping a perfect blood core at the ready along with Trouble’s corpse. An undead Balor was the perfect way to beat numbers with raw power.

Unfortunately, powerful corpses craved for the necromantic energies of a blood core and had no need for mana pathways, whereas inanimate objects rejected magic.

The latter method was derived by Lith’s studies on the growth of the pseudo cores of mana crystals and of the mana core of plants. Once again, the main difference was that inanimate objects had no core nor room for growth to begin with.

"Let’s start with Necro Forge." Lith said. _{freewebnovel.cσ๓}

With a bleeding wallet, Lith took two cyan mana crystals out of his pocket dimension. He couldn’t use blue crystals for a mere test run, nor he could risk using weak green crystals and fail just because he was a cheapskate.

He used Invigoration to fill his body with mana, then he drew several runes in the air to perform the true magic version of Bonding. It was a tier five Forgemaster spell that was used to fuse together mana crystals and items before enchanting the latter.

Once fused with inanimate objects, mana crystals would grant them a mana circulatory system, of which they were the literal beating heart, and an innate mana flow akin to a living being.

Each rune produced a mana filament as thin as a hair that would go through both the hammer and the mana crystals, bringing them closer and closer at each passage until they became one. The three objects started to float in mid air, orbiting around each other like triplet stars.

Lith had performed this process countless times. Each one of the magical home appliances or toys he made was fueled by mana crystals. He would consume low quality materials, make his family happy, and gain a lot of experience.

Three birds with one stone.

Then, it was time to create the pseudo core with Necro Forge. Even though Lith was a master at energy manipulation, shaping a complete core was something that only an Awakened could do.

Cores looked like spheres of energy, but they were so much more. Thanks to Necromancy, Lith had learned that a blood core defined how strong the undead would be, if it would retain any memory or conscience, and even the abilities they would be born with.

Creating a core, no matter if a pseudo or blood one, was akin to create a whole living being.

’The purpose of the hammer is to act as a temporary vessel for my mana. The problem of Forgemastering is that the stronger the spell you want to infuse an item with is, the greater the amount of mana that you need to succeed.

’If the maximum amount of mana a Forgemaster can handle is 100, their limit is a spell with a mana cost of 99. With this hammer, my limit might expand up to 150 while Forgemastering enchanted items.

’It needs a simple but powerful pseudo core with the sole purpose of storing mana.’ Lith thought.

He shaped the pseudo core to resemble his own, but without all the complex patterns that linked it to his body. Thanks to Invigoration, Lith could look at his own mana core anytime.

Whenever he spotted a mistake or an imperfection, he needed but a thought to correct it. Next came the hard part.

Even though Orichalcum seemed to accept the pseudo core as a thirsty man yearns for spring water, even with the mana vessels creating a complex system capable of evenly distributing the incoming energy mass, Lith felt the core distorting the moment it made contact with the hammer.
