I Ascend to the Divine Throne through Arcane Means

Chapter 7 - 7 The First Attempt at Arcane



Chapter 7: Chapter 7 The First Attempt at Arcane

Under the steady, clear glow of the magic stone lamp, various high-level devices came into Lis\'s view.

"High-level Element Stabilizer, Element Observation Instrument, Magic Rune Burner..."

Such luxury, all the magic research instruments that not even all high-level mages at the top Feis Royal Magic Academy could be equipped with were present here, and it was hard to say whether his predecessor, being a Junior Mage, had really been able to utilize these devices effectively.

To be cautious, Lis turned on a high-level Element Stabilizer installed on the wall, which looked like a small radar, before he opened the panel to access the arcane subsystem.

In the game "Divine Revelation," each main profession could choose a corresponding job change, for instance, those starting as warriors could change to Shield Warriors, Knights, Paladins, etc., while mages could change to Fire Mages, Ice Mages, or even to Magic Golem Manipulators, humorously nicknamed "piloting Gundams," who specialize in controlling Magic Energy Structures.

This was also a feature of the "Divine Revelation" game, where you could always find a profession you liked, even for casual players.

Each job-change generally had its own unique features - This kind of job-change was more akin to a professional skill enhancement, focusing mainly on enhancing certain aspects of a character\'s abilities compared to their main professions.

Arcanists, among the numerous job-changes available, were also very unique. They did not directly boost specific abilities but provided a pathway for players to achieve growth through their own efforts.

The potential was extremely high, but the minimum was also very low.

According to descriptions from players who had changed their job to Arcanist in his past life and screenshots of their arcane subsystems, the arcane subsystem could be considered to provide the ability to deeply manipulate and research the four basic Magic Elements of earth, water, fire, and wind, as well as high-level Magic Elements such as Light and Shadow.

In "Divine Revelation," the basic principle behind every spell a mage could use was to form a Magic Model (a specific combination and frequency of Magic Elements) through the assistance of Spells and Magic Runes and the manipulation of Magic Elements with mental power, which produced transcendent phenomena like creating fireballs with hands or moving objects through the air.

Currently, the method for mages to learn spells was to learn Magic Spells and continuously try to manipulate Magic Elements to construct Magic Models, further practicing them until they eventually mastered the spell.

However, Arcanists believed that although Magic Elements were immutable, every mage was unique; hence, some people excelled in using Fire Element spells while others excelled in controlling-type spells.

Just memorizing spells through rote and mastering them through sheer repetition was seen by Arcanists as the least efficient and most foolish method.

Arcanists advocated exploring the deeper rules of Magic Elements, questioning why a combination of Fire Elements could form a fireball or why a specific arrangement of Fire and Earth Elements could create a Nine-Ring Magic Manipulating Spell like Meteor Fire Rain.

Furthermore, Arcanists would modify and adjust Spells and Element Models according to their own affinity with Magic Elements, ultimately forming a unique spell that best suited their true nature.

These specially adjusted spells by the Arcanists were collectively referred to as arcane.

Arcane, because they were more suited to the Arcanist\'s own characteristics, tended to be more powerful or have unique effects when used compared to the spells before adjustment.

If certain arcane developed by Arcanists, while aligning with their own essence, also possessed considerable universality and practical value, they would be learned and used by other ordinary mages, becoming new spells passed down through generations.

For instance, what was originally a One-Circle Magic Fireball Technique was continuously improved by generations of Arcanists, developing into various spells such as Bursting Fireball Technique and Kargul Flames Bomb, and even terrifying spells like the Nine-Ring Silent Extinguishing Fireball Technique emerged.

Therefore, Arcanists were also seen as inventors and explorers among mages.

Of course, according to the Arcanists\' own boastful claim:

Strength is merely a small gift in our wondrous journey of exploring Magic Elements (͡°͜ʖ͡°)✧!

In his past life\'s game, of course, the arcane subsystem couldn\'t realize Arcanist\'s complex ability to adjust spells; players with arcane subsystems could only continuously modify the Magic Element Models, seeking the arcane model that best matched their own compatibility.

Because every modification to the Element Model required spending Experience Points, Arcanist players jokingly referred to it as trying their luck for the big prize.

If lucky, one could assemble an arcane model with a compatibility of over 95% on their first try; if not, even after ten or a hundred attempts they might not achieve a compatibility of over 80%.

Therefore, Arcanist players were very weak in the early stages of each game version, only able to use the arcane of the previous level, but by the middle and later stages of the version, after adapting to and adjusting the newly mastered spells, they would become strong again.

Of course, this had nothing to do with the current Lis. With his own Luck Value of 3, Lis didn\'t think the process of improving arcane would go smoothly.

When he opened the arcane subsystem, it didn\'t appear as a flat control screen like the screenshots posted by other Arcanist players but rather presented itself as a three-dimensional model of Magic Elements right before Lis\'s eyes.

Um, the arcane subsystem seemed different from his previous life. Was it because he had truly crossed into the "Divine Revelation" game world that the arcane subsystem had also changed?

Lis shook his head and stopped pondering, as it wasn\'t something he could figure out at the moment. He then immersed his gaze into the various spell models that appeared before him, which seemed to be the spells he had already mastered.

The red particles represented the Fire Element, the yellow ones the Earth Element, the blue ones the Water Element, the green ones the Wind Element, and the pale white transparent particles should be the Spirit Element.

Beyond that, Lis could also see specks of white and black particles, which must be the Light Element and the Shadow Element. As for the legendary Emperor Time Element and Space Element, Lis didn\'t find them.

Lis looked at a spell model composed of a cluster of Fire Element particles, which should be the model for the Fireball Technique.

The Fireball Technique model was arranged in a regular spherical shape, with three Magic Pattern Circuits made of Fire Elements running through it.

Lis thought for a moment and tried adjusting the angle of one of the Magic Patterns in combination with the others, then carefully infused Magic Power into the model.

Before Lis\'s eyes, the Fireball Technique model brightened with the input of Mana, forming a small bright red fireball that appeared much smaller compared to the fireball formed by the normal spell model.

What\'s going on? Was this a success?

He wondered about its power. Should he throw it at something to test?

Suddenly, the small fireball began to irregularly bulge and twist, under Lis\'s horrified gaze...

"Boom~~~~"

-----------------

In the second floor of the mansion, in Lis\'s bedroom

Rossi, who was diligently wiping the windows, suddenly felt a tremble under her feet and thought she heard something explode.

"Strange, was that an earthquake?"

She looked out the window, and everything on Feis Street looked usual and peaceful; the cream-colored pigeons in the nearby fountain square showed no reaction, still cooing and following pedestrians, begging for food.

"Maybe I was mistaken; how could there be an earthquake out of nowhere?"

Rossi shook her head and hustled back to her cleaning. Master Lis seemed a bit different lately; she had to work even harder o(*≧▽≦)ツ|.

But soon Rossi discovered that it was not her imagination...

Because the tremors from the basement didn\'t completely stop at all that day!
