Chapter 209 Elemental Spell



After that meeting with Arland and Fleur, I was welcomed 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 same effect. It increases their energy output as well as add-ons which complemented their spells

Zenith Magus Arland\'s Main Element is Earth but he also formed one Darkness and two Fire Secondary Cores during his Elemental Forming Realm. The other two Secondary Cores were the same as his Main Element.

Elemental Supreme Fleur\'s Main Element is Water and due to her race being an Elemental, she\'s a pure Water Elemental Supreme.

Fleur teleported back to the Elementals 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 me 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 Elemental Absorbing Realm while quite a few were at Elemental 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 Elemental 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 me because they\'re all busy talking about the Metal Giant which appeared outside the city and the appearance of a new Zenith Magus... which is me. 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 me probably thought that I\'m just another student so they didn\'t bother me 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 numerous choices.

I flipped open the book named \'The Basic of Elemental 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 Elemental Absorbing Realm where one already awakened their Elemental Core."

Now that I think of it, the books that we got from the higher dimension were unreadable but here, I can read it just fine. Is it because it\'s a language of a much higher dimension? In any case, I didn\'t really need to spend much time reading these books. I can just skim through it and most of the knowledge written in it will be absorbed by me, 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 Element as the base, one has to use the Elemental Energy stored in one\'s Elemental Core as well as extract the correct variation of Elemental Energy from the surrounding."

With my Flux Energy, I can use any other variations of the Elemental Energy despite it not being my Main Element. After reading this, I immediately related it to the Spells, Skills and Blessings in the World of System. Or even the Augmented Skill from the World of Barbarians just that, those weren\'t as complicated as using a Main Element.

"If one failed at that, the spell will disintegrate and one will receive an Elemental Backlash. It is the most basic knowledge and method 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 Elemental Absorbing Realm kid, trying to use a Spark Spell, a very basic Fire Elemental Spell. He\'s successful at using his Main Element as a base but he failed at extracting the correct variation from the surrounding Elemental Energy.

Though it should be fairly easy since it is his Main Element, newbies like him will always have times where they will make a mistake.

"There are 5 steps to cast a spell.

1. Identifying the Main Element base.

2. Establishing the Spell Nucleus.

3. Arranging the Elemental 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 Elemental Supreme Fleur could instantly activate their Spells. There\'s probably a change that would happen on the later stages of the Elemental Pathway. This is the basics for the Beginners in Elemental 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 time, it is Elemental 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 Element Base and start at establishing the Spell Nucleus.

The Spell Nucleus is the basic step of combining one\'s own Elemental Energy and the extracted Elemental Energy from the surrounding. If there\'s no Elemental Energy existing in one\'s immediate surroundings, one can double their own Elemental Energy for the establishment of the Spell Nucleus."

I continued reading while building the spell on top of my hand.

Combining my Flux Energy and an extracted Fire Elemental Energy from the surroundings, a Fire Spell Nucleus was successfully induced.

From this. I confirmed that I can bypass my Main Element. But what\'s the point of having Aether and Void if I can also use the other Elemental Energy variations as a base for a spell?

I should look for a book about those two Incomprehensible Elements 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 Elemental Nodes.

The Elemental Nodes are points one modifies and arranges in their Spell Nucleus to turn the spell to one\'s desired outcome."

The example spell only has one Elemental 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 Elemental 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 Name 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 immediately 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 Elemental 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 time 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 Elemental Spell]

[Spark: a one-node basic Fire Elemental Spell which produces a spark using Fire Elemental 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 me 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 time of Spark has been reduced to instant cast. And by increasing the amount of energy used on the Spell Nucleus, the spark of flame 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.
