Inside the quiet rooic Network It was a forhout the universe and various planes The network's purpose was to aid spellcasters in creating spell ies in nature to form spells, which would then be stored in the casters' spell slots This allowed spellcasters to quickly cast the stored spells by voice or motion activation; the spells prepared beforehand would absorb energies fros and iic network, it would take a lot y required for their spells, s both harder and slower
The other purpose of the Magic Netas to safeguard the deities; it prevented powerful spellcasters capable of threatening the Gods froreat potential fro the their own talent However, it also allowed spellcasters with little potential to cast spells th, but also borrowing the power of the network All in all, the Magic Netas a crucial existence for the world Without it, the number of spellcasters would drastically drop by ninety percent
In fact, the Faith Network, which priests used to cast divine spells, was also part of the Magic Network The Magic Netas divided into different layers, and the Faith Netas located at the highest layer In general, novice spellcasters could only access the lowest layer, while those with greater potential could access higher layers The uppermost layer, however, was exclusive to those who used divine spells
For wizards to feel and sense the Magic Network, they had toas they let go of their bodily sensations and reached out to the netith their consciousness Northy period of ic Network On the other hand, Soran, who beca, could sense the network’s existence i his additional profession
As he spread out his consciousness, Soran's mind touched the network It was like a massive spider here lines intertwined and crisscrossed with one another The e points were spell slots He was currently only touching the lowermost layer of the network, thus it could only help him cast Level 0 spells The netas just a tool, and a wizard’s true strength was still dependent on his own talent Even though the network helped a bit with the process, the caster still had to create the spell structures in theirhis consciousness connect to the Magic Network, Soran stoppedwas to allow spellcasters to gain a better understanding of the ic systey in nature
Level up the Wizard profession
Soran did not start analyzing the spell models recorded in his spellbook im his level would strengthen his connection to the Magic Network and speed up the process of understanding spell models
Due to the twenty percent EXP penalty forup requirehter EXP to reach Level 2 for Wizard; in coue to Level 2
“The profession Wizard is now Level 2”
“Received 22 [INT 18 + (INT 18-10)05] Skill Points, HP increased by 9 [Profession HP 4 + (CON 20-10)05]”
“Received 1 Free Attribute Point”
The advantage ofwas the additional Free Attribute Points, but the drawback was that it became harder to level up the individual professions For the first additional profession, the penalty was a twenty percent increase to required EXP per profession For the second extra profession, the penalty was forty percent with a one-tihter EXP For the third one, the penalty was a hefty sixty percent and a one-tiame, there were some people who had as ed to slay a God or two though, the levels for all four professions were bound to be low Under normal circumstances, players and even talented NPCs would not have soit, let alone four It sier while ree Only deities with massive amounts of EXP on their hands could afford to have so many professions
For Levels 1 to 4, the EXP required for leveling up was comparatively loever, the nu from Level 5 as it was the benchmark for Grade 2 The numbers became almost astronomical for Grade 3 professions, especially for people who had more than one profession At that point, eneer suffice; they would have to travel to different planes or the Underdark to level To becoends, one had to visit the Abyss at least once to earn EXP
assign the point to Intelligence and the skill points to Literacy Level up the Wizard profession again
Even though Soran would have liked to invest the point inDexterity, he prioritized raising his Intelligence to 20, because he knew the Magic Netas going to fall in the future He would at least retain a decent portion of his spellcasting abilities if he had 20 Intelligence when that happened As for Literacy, the more points he had in it, the faster he would be able to learn and comprehend spells
“The profession Wizard is now Level 3”
“Received 24 [INT 19 + (INT 19-10)05] Skill Points, HP increased by 9 [Profession HP 4 + (CON 20-10)05]”
