Supreme Magus novel Chapter 865

Chapter 865 A New Project Part 1

Yet neither Bloom nor Necro Forge was enough to harness the magical strength that Lith’s tower bestowed upon him. His hope was that by combining Runesmithing with his own original techniques, he would be able to follow the footsteps of Menadion, the First Forgemaster and Solus’ mentor, if not even surpassing her.

"Faluel will only teach us Runesmithing, but that alone might not be enough. Her techniques will allow us to reach our full potential but that will just put on equal footing with normal Forgemasters, while we are nothing but.

"The tower allows us to tap into mana geysers and draw from Mogar’s power unlike any other mage, but at the same time, it makes conventional methods useless. We need to find a suitable technique to overcome such a limit.

"Faluel can’t help me with that unless I reveal your existence to her, and that’s not going to happen." Lith said.

’Thanks to the tower, Menadion’s artifacts are still considered unparalleled despite having been crafted with obsolete methods. There’s no telling what we could achieve if we couple its power with modern Forgemastering techniques.

’I wonder if the tower is something master Menadion just found, inherited, or did she craft it herself.’ Solus thought while skimming through the untranslated booklet.

"Contrary to what we learned as Forgemasters, Runesmithing considers rings as high tier items. That’s because, unlike weapons and armor, they offer a limited surface for engraving runes.

"It makes rings more difficult to craft since a single poorly placed rune can greatly reduce the enchantment’s efficacy." She said.

"Are you telling me that crafting methods for small objects are described at the end of the book?" Lith inwardly cursed at his bad luck.

"Mostly, yes. There are a few described in the pages that I’m about to translate, but we’re talking about simplest stuff." She read a few pages, giving him a rough translation of the requirements to perform Runesmithing process.

"On top of that, I can’t rush my work. These experiments are supposed to be practiced in sequence so that the students carry over everything they learn from the simplest spells. This adds another layer of difficulty in doing a proper translation."

"This is just perfect." Lith hugged the wisp with enthusiasm, almost causing Solus to drop everything on the ground. "Creating runes costs money and I can’t waste time and ingredients crafting crap."

Being them learning tools, most of the initial blueprints produced items without practical value.

"A simple ring is the best way to put to the test how well our Forgemastering techniques work with Runesmithing while keeping our expenses to a minimum. As soon as you find the description of a ring we could use, send me the list of the necessary ingredients and I’ll do the rest."

Lith left Solus’s room and went outside to keep training at controlling his Origin Flames. He was now focused solely on producing small amounts of fire. Each attempt required very little life force so the new experiments caused a minimum amount of strain upon his body compared to his previous training methods. _{freewebnσvel.cѳm}

Lith was so focused that noon arrived and passed without him noticing. From time to time, he would send a stray thought to the tower to check on the map completion rate and Solus’s progress with the booklet.

’This is interesting. Quality and quantity of Origin Flames might be closely related since no matter how small the life force spark is, the fire tends to propagate like, well, fire. It just loses power since the area of effect is the same but the energy behind the phenomenon is reduced.

’If I’m right, to produce higher quality flames I don’t need to spend more life force, just to focus it to the limit and...’ His train of thoughts derailed when something pulled at his consciousness.

’Fuck me sideways! Today I forgot to report twice already. Kamila must be worried sick. Can you hold the fort while I’m away, Solus?’ Lith’s army amulet was blinking, but he couldn’t reply without giving out his location.
