And last, the five transparent blue gems the size of a large egg. This operation, and all their losses, were for these blueprints. Roy read their information before sharing the details with everyone interested.
(Blueprint) Structure Upgrade
Increases most structures by one tier.
Remark 1: Single-use consumable.
Remark 2: Can only upgrade a structure to tier 10.
Remark 3: Higher tier structures require more to upgrade.
Two blueprints were this type. Honestly, it wasn't exactly what they were looking for. There was only one structure they owned: the mana barrier. Just remembering it falling in seconds under the demon's assault left disappointment. Thankfully, the next three blueprints were what they needed.
(Blueprint) Mana Barrier Modification - Shield Type
Changes the mode of the mana barrier to encompass the body of each defender within 1,000 feet of the structure.
Remark 1: Can be turned on or off at will by an administrator.
Remark 2: This mode can be used along with any other mode.
Remark 3: Distance increases with mana barrier tier.
With this, instead of a giant dome that was impossible to defend, the surface area of the barrier would decrease drastically. It was like having a mage's mana shield on every ascender. Better yet, if ascenders actively blocked or dodged attacks, the limited mana would be used more efficiently.
(Blueprint) Mana Barrier Modification - Energy Type
Gives the mana barrier the ability to recharge the mana of defenders within 1,000 feet of the structure.
Remark 1: Can be turned on or off at will by an administrator.
Anybody who used mana as a resource would benefit from this mode. Healers could heal more, and mages could cast more. Nothing else needed to be said.
(Blueprint) Tier 1 Mana Cannon Tower
Mana cost per shot: 1,000
Recharge time per shot: 10 seconds
Range: 2,500 feet
Blast radius: 20 feet
Mana stored: 500,000
Mana regenerated a second: 50
Remark 1: Generally, a single blast kills any tier 4 demon or below. Can wound a tier 5. Unable to harm a tier 6 or above.
Remark 2: Automatically fires at targets designated as enemies by an administrator.
Remark 3: An administrator can set which tier to target over others, among other settings.
Remark 4: Can be turned on or off at will by an administrator.
Remark 5: Can be reverted to blueprint form at any time.
An intelligent autonomous weapon. Just imagine an entire row of these babies; the ascenders wouldn't have to lift a finger. They could eat popcorn and watch from the safety of the walls as the cannons obliterated the monster horde.
With the loot gathered, Roy turned to Ebba. ”The honor is all yours.”
”I've been waiting,” Ebba immediately commanded the undead horde to destroy the stronghold. After flattening it to the ground, the raid returned to the haven with good and bad news.
