This new spell was important to his plans going forward, disgustingly so. To show that, Darius imdiately began burning his mana turning as much sand around him into humus, or dark earth.
One mont it had been porous and heat trapped sand only to turn into semi-porous and nutrient-rich soil that could be used to grow crops. Darius made sure the area around which he had built his settlent was turned to humus first.
This took him the whole day and even with his huge manapool, a few rests to recover due to wastage.
Darius did not have access to his system Inventory for obvious reasons, so he could not pull out one of the many potions he had created and tossed into a slot oh so long ago.
This was fine for him, as he regarded this as his chance to learn how to conserve mana. The larger his pool, the more he wasted, but conversely, the more he could practice with.
The more he could practice with, the better he got and the faster his efficiency increased. His high Intellect at the Grandmaster stage ant that without the system, his ability to grow and adapt to magic was at its peak for a human.
Darius finished his task by the end of the day and decided to rest properly. His bed was still made of hard stone, which was less than comfortable as you could imagine.
Unfortunately, he had never bothered to create a spell such as Stone to Pillows or Stone to Cotton, otherwise, he could shapeshift himself a bed. The best he could do was make the stone there as soft as he could without making it fully mud-like, otherwise, that would be… yeah.
Darius slept and woke up eight hours later, ready to begin anew. It was just about morning and the sun had yet to fully rise. The area was freezing cold due to how temperatures in a desert bio worked, and he left his cottage with a look of interest.
Darius gazed at the humus which had settled, then his various dos. He began drafting a plan, but still needed so one or two extra spells to achieve what he had in mind with ease.
However, his other base plans did not need to be postponed. He walked to his largest do which housed his huge pool of water and cast Stone to Mud.
He then created small circular pipes made of hardened stone under the sand and walked over while casting to connect them with the various dos and his own cottage.
And just like this, he had created a preliminarily piping system in the desert.
Near the humus, he created a huge stone water tank that stood high up and created a pipe that flowed downwards into the soil and split into equidistant rows.
He had created a preliminary irrigation system for his future cropland.
Darius went into another do that was half the size of the previous one and created a huge cubical underground stone tank that was completely sealed off except for one pipe that led to another do by the side of his cottage that was extrely small, as well as many other pipes that convected to the area under the humus.
He had created a preliminary fertilizer and waste managent system.
Once done with this, he paused for the day. He returned to his cottage and delved into his mind, entering a ditative pose as he diligently worked on two new spells that would be crucial going forward.
By the ti four months had passed, he was done with both of them. Compared to the initial three months Darius had taken, he was adapting to creating spells of lower grades faster compared to his Intellect.
Even with a Supre System, it was ludicrous to expect a Grandmaster Mage to take months to make re interdiate grade spells. It may seem impressive to us, but that was because we compared Darius according to his official stage, not his stats.
In terms of stats, he was atrocious and abhorrent, but the beautiful thing was that such a thing could easily be fixed.
All he needed was ti.
His two new spells were;
[Sand to Polyr - Level 1 Spell
Grade: Interdiate
Cost: 20 MP
Description: Transform an area of 100 ters around you containing any form of sandy particles to polyrs of any kind (and vice versa) directly or remotely. The speed of conversion is 0.1 seconds per 100 ters and the effectiveness of the conversion is 100%.]
[Pebbles to Seeds - Level 1 Spell
Grade: Interdiate
Cost: 20 MP
Description: Transform an area of 100 ters around you containing any form of small stone or sedint composed particles to viable seeds of any kind (and vice versa) directly or remotely. The speed of conversion is 0.1 seconds per 100 ters and the effectiveness of the conversion is 100%.]
These two spells were a great breakthrough in Darius' survivability while in this realm. The first one was even moreso than the latter, and the Itemancer was shocked he could even get it to be this versatile!
The ability to create any kind of polyrs with his mana was absolutely crazy given his circumstances, and here's why;
A polyr is a material containing large molecules made by bonding a series of building blocks called monors. Natural polyrs include wool, cotton, and silk. The utility of these should be obvious, given that Darius had just been complaining about a hard bed.
However, the true killer were the synthetic polyrs artificially created by humans that were applied in so many areas of life that people didn't even notice that if polyrs were to disappear one day, society as a whole would collapse.
Examples of synthetic polyrs included; Polyethylene, Polyester, Acrylics, Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), Polypropylene (PP), Rubber, Teflon, Nylon, Silicone, Hydrogel, etc.
Of course, to the uninitiated and those not really savvy with such things, most of these nas drew a blank while so sounded familiar because they were so integral that it was hard to miss them.
So what exactly were each of them used for?
