2.[Elental Automaton Engineering]
This field focuses on constructing automatons that combine engineering with the manipulation of elents (fire, water, air, earth).
Main skills: Binding elental spirits or magical energies to automatons. Building specialized automatons, such as chanical golems or flying sentinels. Developing hybrid systems that combine physical strength and elental magical abilities (for example, a steam golem that fires bursts of fla).
Example projects: An automaton that purifies water in contaminated regions using water magic. Constructing chanical guardians powered by elental air currents.
3.[Arcane Transdisciplinary Engineering]
This specialization is the pinnacle of flexibility and creativity, allowing a mage to combine magic and engineering in any field.
The focus lies in the universal study of magical laws applicable to any type of engineering.
Main skills: Developing magical matrices that can be adapted for steam, chanics, alchemy, or even biotechnology. Researching and integrating magic into exotic materials (for example, magical tals that conduct steam or runes that amplify energy). Creating technologies that evolve on their own, such as self-replicating machines or self-sustaining enchantnts.
Example projects: A chanical bridge that magically reconstructs itself every ti it is destroyed. A universal "magic battery" capable of powering anything from a boiler to a golem. Portable laboratories capable of designing magical solutions for various situations (a miniature lab that fits in a pocket and magically expands).
After carefully understanding everything, I wasted no ti and chose the one with the greatest potential.
—I choose Arcane Transdisciplinary Engineering.
The reason I chose Miguel as my ntor was to advance in engineering and later rely on selling technology to earn money and fund my studies.
Advanced Engineering is a course that follows the Basic Engineering course from the public classes.
In theory, it is possible to begin building so prototypes after fully understanding these two areas.
—Good choice. This path has no end! Miguel revealed a smile.
—Arcane Transdisciplinary Engineering is the most difficult, sothing that even I, as a professor, am still far from mastering.
—It is the gateway to the unknown.
—An engineer in this specialization can explore any existing field—or one yet to be created.
—From steam-powered naval engineering to bioengineering that combines golems and magical plants, this specialization is like a "laboratory of infinite inventions." But without exception, all existing engineering fields are extrely complex and intricate.
—The smallest mistake will result in failure.
—All Master Engineers have spent vast amounts of resources accumulating experience in their respective fields.
—Are you ready for this?
—Yes, sir! I was born ready, I replied without hesitation.
Miguel nodded with a faint smile and pushed a flask toward .
—This is yours now!
I picked up the flask and examined the golden liquid inside, which shimred faintly as if it were alive.
I held it firmly, feeling the cold texture of the glass against my fingers.
—I suppose I just need to drink it, like with the elental ditation technique? I asked, a mixture of anxiety and curiosity in my voice.
Miguel nodded. —Yes, just drink it directly.
I took a deep breath, trying to ignore the apprehension.
With one hand I held the flask, and with the other I removed the wooden stopper.
A subtle sound echoed through the laboratory as the cork ca loose.
Without hesitation, I brought the flask to my lips and swallowed the liquid in one gulp.
The taste was bitter, almost tallic, and it slid down my throat like liquid fire.
An imdiate wave of nausea overtook , and my mind spun violently.
I tried to remain standing, but I felt my body tremble uncontrollably.
My vision blurred, and strange images began to invade my mind.
Abstract shapes, unfamiliar faces, and magical symbols spun like a vortex.
I saw landscapes I had never visited, heard voices whispering words I did not understand.
Is this an illusion?
Miguel interrupted my thoughts.
—How are you feeling?
His voice made jump.
I touched my forehead, which was hot and drenched in sweat.
—I don’t feel very well.
Miguel observed calmly as I tried to regain my balance.
—Was what I saw earlier an illusion? It felt so real!
He smiled enigmatically.
—That is completely normal. The illusion spells of Mages are so realistic that even Acolytes can be entirely deceived by them. There have been cases where Acolytes lived entire lifetis within those illusions... and died of old age without ever realizing it.
His words made swallow hard.
I felt as if a part of was still trapped inside that vision.
But then, a strange sensation took hold of my mind.
["Arcane Transdisciplinary Engineering"]
These words appeared in my ntal vision, floating in the right corner.
An entire block of information now resided within .
Miguel gave a slight smile.
—The information has already been transferred to your brain. ditate later to consolidate it.
I nodded, still feeling dazed, but Miguel wasted no ti.
He pointed to a corner of the laboratory.
—Now, continue with the daily mining discipline. It is essential for your training. When you venture outside these towers and have no resources available, you will have to mine voluntarily.
I picked up the tools that were carefully arranged in the corner, fastening them to my belt.
—Understood!
I walked toward the mine, but before I could go too far, I heard footsteps behind .
—Who would have imagined that this junior could beco a veteran in such a short ti! Charlotte’s familiar voice cut through the silence.
I turned and smiled faintly.
—Dedication is the key to success.
Charlotte laughed as she walked beside .
She was one year ahead of in the tower and was a Level 2 Acolyte.
—When you beco a Level 2 Acolyte, things get even more intense. The ntal codes are far more challenging than the heart codes. And with each code you write, the difficulty increases exponentially.
Her eyes reflected determination, but also fatigue.
—I still need a few more years of ditation before I can advance again.
We walked in silence for a mont until Mateo, the brilliant apprentice, joined us.
He seed lost in thought, probably planning so invention.
His face, marked by scars from a past explosion, looked rigid and expressionless.
I knew Mateo’s story.
He had tried to create a prototype during his first months in the tower, but the experint failed, resulting in an explosion that disfigured his face.
Since then, he had beco more antisocial, but the passion for engineering still burned in his eyes.
The magic of engineers is truly dangerous.

After finishing the work in the mine and having the afternoon free, I said goodbye to Charlotte and Mateo.
But instead of going to the academic area as I usually did, I went straight to my room.
Upon entering, I looked around at the small improvised laboratory.
The still I had assembled was there, gleaming in the dim light coming through the window.
I looked at the container, brushing it lightly with my fingertips.
—Ladies! You will be responsible for generating magic crystals so that I can invest heavily in my career as a mage engineer.
Soon after, I picked up the container holding 1.5 kg of cocaine hydrochloride.
I already had the material; now I just needed the right finishing touch.
I went to the machinery I had used to produce the cocaine and began searching for sothing to crush the crystals without contaminating them, but I couldn’t find what I needed.
Damn... missing a clean grinder.
There was no ti to waste, so I decided to go to Miguel’s laboratory to borrow a grinder for a while.
I quickly reached the door of Miguel’s laboratory and entered.
He was sitting in a chair, his eyes fixed on a large diagram on the wall.
He looked at without moving his head, but his expression tightened.
—What do you want, boy?
He sighed and removed his steampunk goggles, appearing visibly intrigued by my presence.
—It’s rare to see you here after finishing work in the mines.
—Master, I need you to lend a grinder. Could you please lend it to ? I promise I will return it in perfect condition, and if I fail to keep my promise, I will pay in magic crystals.
Miguel looked at with an expression that seed sowhat skeptical, but then his face softened.
—Eduard, you’re lucky I’m in a good mood today. One of my students just advanced to Level 1, and to top it off, I managed to sell the automaton I was building earlier for a good price.
He raised his arm and pointed to a corner of the laboratory.
—If I’m not mistaken, I designed a chanical grinder a long ti ago. You just need to place the ingredient in the container, turn the crank, and when you think it’s ground to the perfect point, stop.
I thanked him with a smile and walked to the corner of the laboratory.
As always, the place was a ss of prototypes and chanical parts scattered around.
I had to rummage through a few boxes, but I finally found the chanical grinder.
It was in good condition, although it looked like it had only been used a few tis.
It was slightly more complex than a traditional grinder, with gears and a crank that, when turned, would grind any ingredient placed inside.
I lifted the device and, with a nod to Miguel, hurried out of the laboratory, returning to my room.
