The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

Chapter 148 Card Magic
The little witches had never seen witch magic sold in such a way before. They had to admit... it was so Moran!
Vasita and Sylph stared at the words "Witch Magic" on the flyer: "(⊙o⊙)!"

How long has Moran been on vacation? Only a little over a week, right? And he's already figured out witch magic?
Even though they knew that Moran had been engrossed in reading "The Witch's Path" in her dorm room these past few days, they still found it unbelievable.

It would take several days just to finish reading this book!

That was incredibly fast!

Moran's promotional flyer is very eye-catching, but this time it's different from buying cards before; this time the price is permanent magic power.

Even if it's only 3 Mana, which is cheaper than Apprentice-level Book Magic or Contract Magic, once the permanent magic is spent, it can't be taken back, and it won't recover like one-time magic. What's reduced is the maximum magic power.

The little witch's current magical power, converted to mana, is less than a hundred! She must be careful when spending it.

So for a while, everyone just looked at the contents of the flyer with curiosity, but they weren't as impulsive as when they bought cards before.

The promotional material for this card magic clearly states its functions: storing cards, purchasing cards, and drawing cards.

The card is thin and easy to put in the school uniform pocket. Besides, they don't have many cards to carry around anymore, so they don't seem to need the card storage function much.

There's even less need for the card-buying function; you can buy them without this magic, just go directly to Moran.

This feature will only be useful after graduation.

After looking at it from all angles, they were hesitant about whether they really needed the card-drawing function.

Just then, Vasita spoke first: "I'll buy one!"

I have to buy one of the witch spells of a fellow witch of my generation to see what her magic is like.

They flipped to the back of the flyer, and using the golden pen technique, wrote a contract based on the template.

Moran's contract mailbox responded immediately.

According to the filtering rules she set for the mailbox, contracts from witches written according to the card magic contract template she set could be approved by her with a single thought.

The contract was quickly finalized.

"How do I use it?" Vasida asked Moran.

“Think of card magic, or a card album, and it will appear,” Moran said.

Vasita did as she was told, and a deep purple energy vortex immediately appeared in front of her. Then, a gorgeous card and a large book inlaid with purple gems flashed by, and finally, they all turned into a brown book that looked overly plain.

"It looks like a spell similar to the witch's book! Both summon a book."

"This book was originally a physical copy, but the cover is a bit too plain. Can Moran change the cover like he did with the witch's book?"

"Yeah! The vortex and the afterimage in the foreground are so beautiful, they don't match the book cover at all!"

The little witch who was watching asked.

Having studied "The Birth of a Beautiful Cover," they now have aesthetic standards and requirements for book covers.

I have a feeling that with the appearance of this brown-covered book, the overall quality of this book has dropped.

Moran smiled: "There are several card album skin cards in the card shop. You can change the appearance of your card album after purchasing and using them. You can also obtain them by drawing cards in the card pool."

This is currently only the beta version for the academy, and many designs are not yet perfect. It will be upgraded gradually later.

But don't worry about the magic's effects; the beta version offers even more benefits and a higher gacha drop rate!

This inspiration comes from various game skins.

She's also planning to create some limited-edition skin cards and put them only in the gacha pool to encourage players to draw cards! But that'll have to wait until after graduation.

Right now, they're all young witches who haven't graduated yet, so they don't have much magic power. Moran still doesn't plan to organize so many activities to exploit them right now.

These activities will only be launched after she travels to the wilderness and sells her witch magic to others.

Now, she's taken inspiration from "The Birth of a Beautiful Cover" and created several appearance cards, which she's added to the card pool and card shop.

It's just a basic appearance, but it's a bit better than a brown leather card holder.

Vasita opened the book, and unexpectedly, there were no words in it; instead, a square screen of light was projected above it.

A large purple square containing three smaller purple rectangular squares.

The small box on the left has the word "card pool" written in witch script, and there is a gray-white vortex inside the box.

The small square in the middle says "Shop," and inside are images of miniature cards, along with names and prices.

On the right is a card album, which contains small, light purple rectangular boxes.

The entire light screen has no physical form, which looks magical, like a magical halo, but it can be seen clearly even without an energy halo.

Moran noticed the little witches' amazed looks, and without her explanation, the beginner's guide on the card magic page popped up.

The entire screen turned gray, and then a dialog box popped up: "Start the tutorial?"

Below are two option buttons, with the note "Click to select" next to them.

Vasita looked at Moran in surprise: "Click? Click that word?"

Moran nodded.

Vasita tentatively poked her finger at the "yes" button, and some of the gray on the screen immediately dissipated.

At the very top, the purple gem area below the four large characters "Card Magic" in the large box lit up.

The words "0/10" on the amethyst began to shine.

The little witches couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "This is amazing!"

Moran smiled slightly.

When she first saw witch magic, it must have been around the same time when the little witches first saw this light screen that she had created, modeled after the touchscreen on Earth, right?

In fact, this light screen, including the entire magic, is a card-based magic tablet phone.

The contract magic is like a cell phone signal, connecting each contractor's magic screen with the control screen in her hand and the book of cards.

Although communication is impossible, card-related information can still be exchanged.

Soon another dialog box appeared, with one arrow pointing to "0" indicating "This represents your remaining gem coins", and another arrow pointing to "10" indicating "This represents the maximum number of gem coins you can store".

Next, another arrow points to two buttons under the purple gem, one labeled "Recharge" and the other "Upgrade".

"Click to recharge, and you can exchange 1 Mana Magic or other energy equivalent to 1 Mana Magic for 1 Gem Coin. Gem Coins can be used to open card pools, draw cards, and buy cards."

"Click to upgrade and increase your gem coin storage limit. 1 Mana permanent magic power can increase your gem coin storage limit by 1000 units."
