Chapter 194 - Summoning Magic (1/2)
The ”Summoning Magic” spells were very different from the spells of the ”Amplification Magic” and ”Creation Magic.” ”Summoners” could cast a spell and summon powerful creatures to their aid. The spells of ”Summoning Magic” were very expansive and useful.
There were a huge number of spells that did not summon any creatures.
For example, most of the healing spells known to this world were of the ”Summoning Magic.” When Arve healed Evan, he did not summon any creatures. In fact, he even repaired Evan's torn coat.
Among the spells of the ”Summoning Magic,” there were a large number of auxiliary spells. For the same reason, Summoners have always been the most desirable allies in team fights. They could weaken and immobilize enemies and strengthen allies. At the same time, they could summon strong creatures to their aid who would fight for them.
Moreover, this was not all that the ”Summoning Magic” spells were capable of. The spells used to make banks, cards, and magic orbs work properly also belonged to the ”Summoning Magic”.
Evan saw a lot of different spells of the ”Summoning Magic” in the library. He even thought about leaning one spell that could cover a magician's body with a thin shell. It would greatly increase the wearer's protection. Nevertheless, he gave up on that idea.
He didn't have enough time to practice using each of them. In Evan's opinion, he had chosen only the most useful and powerful spells.
Most magicians also based on these criteria and used only a few spells. Of course, some had several dozen spells in their arsenal and those who had only one.
If a magician has only a few spells, he can concentrate on training just those spells rather than wasting time on many spells. If a magician has only three spells and reaches the second stage of ”Awareness” in each of them, he will one hundred percent defeat the magician who has ten spells.
Simply put, having three spells with the second stage of ”Awareness” was times better than having ten spells that the magician hadn't reached any proficiency in using.
Of course, when Evan was in the ”Forest of Aquamarine Crystals,” he used the power of the 71st Demon, Duke Dantalion, to raise the ”Awareness” of his two spells to the second stage.
But, ”Magic Missile” and ”Ice Veil” were zero level spells. Evan was sure that if he wanted to do the same thing with first-level spells, the demon would ask for some years of his life. Evan didn't see the point, he'd rather spend a few months training than sacrifice a few years, maybe even decades.
Demons didn't make magicians` life easier, they only gave them a way out of a critical situation by taking something of equal value in return.
< The spells of ”Summoning Magic” are indeed much more interesting than I imagined. Initially, I thought their sole purpose was to summon creatures for help, but I was wrong. Hell, there were even spells in the library that summoned the armor!>
Evan thought, going to the underground floor with four books.
Among the spells that were in the library, Evan saw some that summoned armor, moreover this armor was not ordinary, but with unique effects. Of course, after a while, this armor would have disappeared, but it would be enough for combat.
There were even ”Summoners” who were very similar to ”Amplifiers” in their essence. They didn't want to rely on anyone but themselves or use amplification spells. Such ”Summoners” wore no armor or weapons, they had special spells for that. They were very dangerous and unpredictable opponents. Of course, there were very few such mages, and only a few had the determination to choose this path and enough strength to follow it.
