Chapter 292: Learning new art (1/2)

Sam went into the tower's library. He is going to learn a new art. The Spirit enchantment. This is also a minor profession like the Seer tower.

They are dark element users, who use a form of necromancy to attach spirits to the weapons, formation discs, artifacts, Puppets, and so on.

These spirits wouldn't be a good as the naturally formed Spirits of the weapons and they can be destroyed easily if the object which was enchanted was of low rank and the user is of far superior cultivation level.

If the user is powerful, he can even kill the spirit with just a mere thought.

But why do they still use it? It is used for better coordination between the user and the weapon. They will have a contract after the spirit is enchanted and if given enough time, the spirit could grow strong with sufficient nourishment, and along with that, the weapon should be reforged from time to time to adjust will the level of the weapon spirit.

This is mostly suitable for weapons that are made of materials like meteorite sand and blood iron as these weapons can improve ranks with time.

But it would be a waste to enchant those weapons as the natural spirits born for those weapons are more powerful. Just like the shadow sword, they can become extremely powerful, powerful enough to destroy the consciousness of a user just like that.

Compared to the natural spirits they can only be considered mediocre at best.

Why does Sam need this mediocre spirits then? It is because he doesn't need them for battles or to enchant his weapons, rather he needs them for their intelligence.

He wants to use the spirits in the same way the artificial intelligence is used in his previous life.

One of his next choices of research is puppet artisanship. And after seeing the 'brain' mechanisms he collected from the puppets of the palace of inheritance, he has many new ideas.

But to execute them, he first has to learn these necromancy skills, so that he can perform the best enchantment.

He started absorbing the divine wills in the necromancy section.

In this world, necromancy is classified into three categories.

The Undead Necromancy. This is using the dead bodies to create the physical army of undead. This is the most basic necromancy and easiest of them all.

The second one is soul necromancy. This is using the souls of the dead to do their bidding, It is either for an enchantment or in battles. The army they could have or the souls they summoned are mostly intangible and they mostly cause mental attacks.

The third one is the shadow necromancy. This is the necromancy that uses both physical properties of the undead necromancy and the intangibility of the soul necromancy.

This last method uses the shadows of the dead. There would be a shadow for every life in this world and as the person grows strong, the shadows of the person also do. But not many people can use the power of the shadows as they truly reside in the shadow world.

The shadow world is not accessible to anyone. After a person dies, within that shadow world the laws will make the shadow disappear.

In the shadow necromancy, after the necromancer kills as a person, he will use his skills to barely access the shadow world and pull out the shadow which was about to disappear and form a contract with it.

Allowing it to exist as it gathers power with his help.

It can now freely transverse between the shadow world and this world with the help of the necromancer.

Sam wanted to learn all the three of them, except for the first one which is only useful in some specific situation where he was outnumbered and he just needs some immediate manpower, the second one is used for enchantment, which he would be using very often in future.

As for the third one, he is most interested in this one. This shadow necromancy can be used for both numbers as well as many other purposes, like tailing, tracking, and many others.

But the necromancy does have its drawbacks and it needs an enormous mental power, which is not everyone's forte.

The more read through the information, the more Sam felt that there are immense possibilities with the dark element.

This also gave him thoughts that the opposite of the dark element which is the light element is left unexplored.

He doesn't believe that it can only heal and he has enough proof to back his claim as he himself has explored it and even created pure light energy-based attacks.

As Sam sat on learning the things, the things about his new project are going in full swing.

At this moment, Jack and the rest also finished the first phase of their training.

They are done with the three spots they chose and are traveling to a single destination.

It is a city where all of them decided to meet after their first phase is over.
