After that eting with Arland and Fleur, I was welcod by them into the city and was given a room and an office inside the Academy as a guest Dean who doesn't need to work at all. For now.
Also, since the two were curious, I showed them the interior of the Black Mist and like I thought, their staves have the sa effect. It increases their energy output as well as add-ons which complented their spells
Zenith Magus Arland's Main Elent is Earth but he also ford one Darkness and two Fire Secondary Cores during his Elental Forming Realm. The other two Secondary Cores were the sa as his Main Elent.
Elental Supre Fleur's Main Elent is Water and due to her race being an Elental, she's a pure Water Elental Supre.
Fleur teleported back to the Elentals Territory after accompanying us back into the city to gather her disciples and those close to Transcendence to undergo the training that I will put them through. And since Arland needed to talk to Hikari and the other 5 survivors, he left to my own devices.
Of course, my first destination was the library. The students of the academy were all busy with their studies. Most of them were still at the Elental Absorbing Realm while quite a few were at Elental Condensing Realm.
Just looking at that, it's fairly easy to see that the Human Race of this world was already in decline. Most of their elites were mostly dead and the new generation has just started their path on the Elental Pathway.
When I passed by the Main Hall where the students of the academy were congregating, most of them only threw a curious glance towards because they're all busy talking about the tal Giant which appeared outside the city and the appearance of a new Zenith Magus... which is . Apart from Arland and Hikari's group, no one knew the face of the Zenith Magus they're talking about however that didn't stop them to be excited about the future prospect of the Human Race.
Those who saw probably thought that I'm just another student so they didn't bother and continued in their discussions.
Before long, I entered the huge library which probably holds thousands of books. I went to the aisle where the Basic Books were located and picked one book from nurous choices.
I flipped open the book nad 'The Basic of Elental Spells' from one of the shelves and started absorbing the knowledge in it.
"To cast a spell, one needed to at least be in the Elental Absorbing Realm where one already awakened their Elental Core."
Now that I think of it, the books that we got from the higher dinsion were unreadable but here, I can read it just fine. Is it because it's a language of a much higher dinsion? In any case, I didn't really need to spend much ti reading these books. I can just skim through it and most of the knowledge written in it will be absorbed by , considering my high stats.
Like that transmigrator from a novel who only needed to touch a book to copy it inside his mind. Afterwards he could casually absorb the knowledge contained in those books all at once.
Of course, it's not as exaggerated as that.
"By using the Main Elent as the base, one has to use the Elental Energy stored in one's Elental Core as well as extract the correct variation of Elental Energy from the surrounding."
With my Flux Energy, I can use any other variations of the Elental Energy despite it not being my Main Elent. After reading this, I imdiately related it to the Spells, Skills and Blessings in the World of System. Or even the Augnted Skill from the World of Barbarians just that, those weren't as complicated as using a Main Elent.
"If one failed at that, the spell will disintegrate and one will receive an Elental Backlash. It is the most basic knowledge and thod so one is expected to perfect it before thinking of casting a real spell."
That backlash should be what I saw when I passed by one student earlier. He's an Elental Absorbing Realm kid, trying to use a Spark Spell, a very basic Fire Elental Spell. He's successful at using his Main Elent as a base but he failed at extracting the correct variation from the surrounding Elental Energy.
Though it should be fairly easy since it is his Main Elent, newbies like him will always have tis where they will make a mistake.
"There are 5 steps to cast a spell.
1. Identifying the Main Elent base.
2. Establishing the Spell Nucleus.
3. Arranging the Elental Nodes.
4. Enclosing it with the Magic Trigger.
5. Unleashing the Spell by activating the trigger.
The five steps can be reduced into 1 through raising one's Proficiency of the Spell which requires constant repetition or raising the intensity of the spell."
It sounds complicated if it was written in the book like this but in reality, it was fairly easy. And those at the level of Zenith Magus Arland and Elental Supre Fleur could instantly activate their Spells. There's probably a change that would happen on the later stages of the Elental Pathway. This is the basics for the Beginners in Elental Pathway.
Due to that, I decided to try it. By producing a Flux Energy I used it as the base for a spell.
This is the uniqueness of my own Energy. It can be whatever it wants to be as long as I have adapted to it. This ti, it is Elental Energy.
There's a sample spell written on the book so I tried following that. The Spark.
"After successfully casting a spell, one will start at Beginner proficiency. The next proficiency level will skip one of the five steps.
At Dabbling Proficiency, one can skip the identification of the Main Elent Base and start at establishing the Spell Nucleus.
The Spell Nucleus is the basic step of combining one's own Elental Energy and the extracted Elental Energy from the surrounding. If there's no Elental Energy existing in one's imdiate surroundings, one can double their own Elental Energy for the establishnt of the Spell Nucleus."
I continued reading while building the spell on top of my hand.
Combining my Flux Energy and an extracted Fire Elental Energy from the surroundings, a Fire Spell Nucleus was successfully induced.
From this. I confird that I can bypass my Main Elent. But what's the point of having Aether and Void if I can also use the other Elental Energy variations as a base for a spell?
I should look for a book about those two Incomprehensible Elents later.
"At the Skilled Proficiency, one can skip up to step two. The Spell Nucleus will be automatically established. One will start at arranging the Elental Nodes.
The Elental Nodes are points one modifies and arranges in their Spell Nucleus to turn the spell to one's desired outco."
The example spell only has one Elental Node so I completed it easily. Apart from that shiny node, the Spell Nucleus hasn't undergone a change yet.
"At the Expert Proficiency, one can skip up to step three. The Spell Nucleus and the Elental Nodes will be automatically established and arranged. One can proceed to enclose it with the Magic Trigger.
Magic Trigger, it's like a bubble of Energy which enclosed the entire Spell Nucleus. One can set a word such as the Spell Na as the trigger or it could just be a single gesture. Depending on one's preference."
Ah. This one probably explains why the others even bothered to shout out their skills.
I enclosed the sample spell with the Magic Trigger. I skipped setting a unique trigger. As a default, a hint of Energy was enough to activate it. Once the Magic Trigger settled, the sample Spell was successfully completed. It imdiately shined with a red light as an indicator.
"At the Master Proficiency, one can skip the first four steps and instantly move to activate the spell.
At this point, one can start modifying the Spell to enhance it or add more Elental Nodes as a base for a new spell."
Just like how Arland did it earlier. With one wave of his staff, the dirt and rock room was instantly created.
As for the last part, I activated the example Spell by sending in a hint of Flux Energy, on my palm, the sample Spell 'Spark' produced a short-lived fire which burst from my hand. From reading to actually finishing the spell, the ti it took was only 4 seconds.
And as soon as that spark of fire appeared, a notification rang out in my ears.
[Ding!]
[You successfully cast an Elental Spell]
[Spark: a one-node basic Fire Elental Spell which produces a spark using Fire Elental Energy. Proficiency: Beginner (50%)]
Upon seeing that, I closed the book and cast another spark which took another 4 seconds to fully activate.
[Ding!]
[Spark Proficiency has been upgraded to Dabbling.]
I smiled and decided to see how long it would take for to fully master this basic spell.
This is quite fun, eh?
As I continued to cast Spark after Spark. This section of the Library where I am located continuously glowed from the light produced by the Spark spells.
Two minutes later...
[Ding!]
[Spark Proficiency has been upgraded to Master.]
[You will not be able to raise its proficiency anymore.]
From 4 seconds, the casting ti of Spark has been reduced to instant cast. And by increasing the amount of energy used on the Spell Nucleus, the spark of fla could grow bigger.
With that, I spent another 10 minutes tweaking the Spark Spell before moving onto the History section.
Err... I surely had a little fun there even if that Spark is useless in battle.
I should try those with a higher number of nodes later but first. I need to stuff myself with more knowledge.
