Karl joined the Acolytes in the central room and motioned for them to sit around one of the round tables.
"First up, you need two basic skills to be able to help with the job. [Life Leech] and [Holy Weapon]." He announced, then used [Follow Me, Little One] to transfer the skills.
He didn’t have high hopes for Life Leech, but it transferred without issues. Blue Dragon Clerics had an affinity for knowledge, and even if it wasn’t something that they would use, they had an easy time learning most skills.
Even when they didn’t have Karl to just imprint it in their brain.
"That skill is spectacular. No wonder the Librarian likes you when she hates people in general." Janet whispered to herself, too low for the others to hear.
"You all can drop the disguise spells now. Keeping them active will use up energy that you’re going to need by the time that we’re done training you on these techniques." Karl insisted.
But before that, he had to try [Skill Merger] and see if he could come up with something.
If he combined [Runecrafting] with [Holy Weapon], what would happen?

It took an immense amount of focus to bring up two such technical skills at once, especially when he couldn’t activate them in his mind to see the effect.
"Sir?" One of the Acolytes asked carefully.
"Give me a moment, I’m trying to mentally blend a pair of skills to teach you the basics because you can’t use Runecrafting as a complete skill until Royal Rank. I don’t know any of the subset skills that come before it, so I need to isolate a portion that will let you learn now, and not hinder your advancement."
Karl’s answer had tails wagging furiously, and Cara was laughing so hard at the sight that Fizzspark nearly fell off her back.
Karl lost track of the time, but eventually, he had something workable. He had to eliminate ninety percent of the knowledge in Runecrafting, but with the knowledge from Holy Weapon, he had a new skill.
A skill he couldn’t use.
[Trade Skill Already Known] The system informed him.
But he could visualize it in his mind, so he started with Mark.
{Pack Master Karl offers Knowledge} Skill [Apprentice Runesmith] will be transferred to gentle pet Mark.
Mark frowned. "Why is the system making fun of me?"
Karl chuckled. "It does that to everyone when I use that skill. Did you accept the skill?"
Mark nodded. "Yes, it taught me Apprentice Runesmithing. It’s incredible. This is precisely what we need to add Runes to weapons and make them better. Used with Holy Weapon or Life Leech to create a base enchantment..."
The Acolyte trailed off, seeing all the possibilities for future creations.
