164 Spirit Forging Magic (1/2)

Wallace read the introduction of this mysterious method of forging an artifact. He was fully absorbed in learning this Spirit Forging Magic as he forgot to even eat his meals.

Anyway, he was aware that it wouldn't be a problem to skip meals for several days with his Mana Body.

'It heavily relies on magician's constitution. I should be able to learn it if given time but two days might be too tough.' Wallace surmised after he fully comprehended the method. Now, he only had to practice this magic to achieve at least a beginner level. This would allow him to create the most basic 6th generation Mana Artifact included in the memory crystal they consumed.

With all the information he received, he compiled the information and provided it to Avalon as a back up. He even added his own understanding in the matter.

[ Spirit Forging Magic for Sixth Generation ]

[ This magic allows the user to create predetermined items that was perfectly envisioned. This is done by entwining their mana with their aura or life-force turning themselves into a living forge or even a furnace with the correct condition and generally focusing it through the magician's hands for direction so it can easily combine and shape materials into the item envisioned.

Though it seems to be possible to focus it from any point of the magician's body, such as through the mouth for smaller items to leave both hands free, it requires years of practice.

Slaine Allusia's prohibition in this magic is that it is to never be used on a living thing. This does not include things that are long since dead.

It is against the government law for a user of this magic to make counterfeit money made of gold. (Does not count for making an item with gold.) If found out, the Grand Arcanist would act himself against the violator.

Like all the Magic Engineers, the user of Spirit Forging Magic cannot create material for use. They will still require raw materials or whatever they have on hand to produce an item. Spirit Forging Magic only helps in the creation of products but could not create items from nothing.

Spirit Forging Magic is not limited to solid matter alone, other elements such as fire or water can be used as well. ]

[ The magic's appearance is like that of a blue fire but it is not hot once touched so it can't be used for offensive attacks. Spirit Forging is only meant to forge materials and not harm the living. ]

This is the introduction that Wallace placed to record in Avalon's database. Though the full content was still quite long and might take at least 10 pages of standard books.

'I should start now...'

Wallace closed his eyes as he concentrated for a while to begin the first step of learning the magic.

After confirming his stable 'natural' state of AOTL, he started to imprint the magic formula of the spirit forging method to his Mana Body.

Imprinting magic formula to the Mana Body wasn't permanent and if left untouched for several days, it will naturally vanish. This also meant that if they forgot the memories of imprinting method due to the memory crystal losing it's effects, the secret method would remain tightly held by the Cloud Hawk Manor.

It took him half a day to imprint one of the spells required for spirit forging.

'Tsk... this is taking too long. I won't reach the deadline.'

Wallace frowned after realizing his slow progress. At this rate, he might be the one eliminated in this examination.

'I wonder how they're progressing now.' Wallace thought but immediately shook his head.

'I don't have time to worry about them. I have to complete this.'

Apparently, they were required to imprint several magic formulas on their Mana Body before they can begin the forging process. He reviewed the spells to see if there are other options he could use.

[ Mana Spells ]

[ Material Appraisal - spell that was normally used to identify any materials that the magician touched. It will allow the user to determine the material's valuable informations like quality, components, weight, etc. This is not a visual technique but a sensing technique. If mastered to the peak, the user would have limited range when executing the spell allowing the user to use the spell even without touching the material. ]

[ Mage Cover - spell that allows the user to touch materials without being harmed. The protection of the spell has limited power depending on the mastery level of the user. ]
