The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

Chapter 198 Introduction to All Magic Element
Two days of the first week have already passed, and tomorrow is Wednesday, but the updated classes started on Monday. There's a note below the schedule that this schedule will continue to be used next week.

Monday: Language of Valencia in the morning, magic class in the afternoon.

Tuesday: Wilderness Life Class in the morning, Magic Class in the afternoon.

Wednesday: Basic math class in the morning, magic class in the afternoon.

Thursday: Alchemy Theory (odd weeks) / Imperial Language (even weeks) in the morning, Magic Class in the afternoon.

Friday: Morning: Angelic, Demonic, Dragonic (odd weeks) / Elven, Orcish, Dwarven (even weeks); Afternoon: Magic Q&A session.

Elective courses are concentrated on Thursdays and Fridays, not only divided into odd and even weeks, but also on Friday mornings when three language courses were shared in one long class.

Fortunately, the elective courses were only shortened in duration, so there was no time conflict, and Moran could take all the elective courses without any problem.

Tomorrow is Wednesday, which is right around the clock for math class!
Moran began to feel a sense of anticipation.

She wrote all the textbooks for this course herself, so there was no need to preview them beforehand. Instead, she pulled out the textbook for the entire department's introductory magic course, "Practical Apprentice Witch's Magic Book," to read.

This book selects one magic spell as a representative from the main branches of each magic school, excluding special schools.

We already learned about magical factions in our first-year basic magic theory class.

The witch magic system is divided into ten schools: elemental, healing, blessing, curse, prophecy, summoning, spatial, mental, necromancy, and special.

Magics such as magical contamination, witch magic, and cooking magic, sewing magic, and planting magic, which require contamination of various tools, cannot be classified into the first nine categories and are all considered special magic.

The elemental factions are the largest, comprising ten main branches: metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, lightning, ice, light, and darkness.

Within the metal element, there is also the branch of alchemical magic.

The Wood and Earth elements also share a common branch—the Plant element, which in turn has a branch called Alchemy Magic.

There is an inclusion relationship between factions, main branches, and sub-branches.

However, in terms of talent, it's the other way around.

A high talent level in a branch indicates that the talent level of its main branch must also be high, but a high talent level in the main branch does not necessarily mean that the talent level of the branch is high.

For example, someone with a high talent for alchemy magic will definitely have a strong talent for wood magic, but the reverse is not necessarily true.

The witch possesses all types of magical talent, at least at the beginner level. This "all types of magic" refers to the main and branch magic systems of all schools.

However, the Practical Apprentice Witch's Spellbook does not include branch magic such as alchemy and potion-making, which have separate courses.

However, it does have the main types of magic, such as metal, wood, and water.

There is one representative spell for each type, and there are a total of eighteen spells.

These are: Metal's Sharpness Technique, Wood's Vine Technique, Water's Water Mirror Technique, Fire's Corpse Burning Technique, Earth's Earth Gathering Technique, Wind's Wind Walk Technique, Lightning's Electric Net Technique, Ice's Freeze Technique, Light's Radiance Technique, Darkness Technique, Healing Technique, Blessing Technique, Curse Technique, Prophecy Technique, Summoning Technique, Spatial Technique, Mind Reading Technique, and Necromancy Technique.

Moran was dazzled by the sheer number of spells; each one seemed magical.

But after she finished reading the introductions to the eighteen spells in the first chapter, the feeling of wonder remained, but: "Why do I still see so few powerful offensive spells?"

Only the Sharpness and Electric Net spells can cause some damage.

It can make metal weapons sharper and also adds a bit of magical attack.

A small, numbing electric grid.

The area affected is small, and the damage is minimal. Not to mention anything else.

The vine technique has a slight binding effect, but not much.

The water mirror technique causes no harm at all; on the contrary, it allows you to check your appearance anytime, anywhere.

The Corpse Burning Technique does cause some damage, leaving no trace, but its fire is very small and burns very slowly. If used in combat, it can be extinguished with a single slap before it can spread.

Soil Gathering Technique... The Soil Gathering Technique is the ability to gather and bind a clump of loess, transforming a loose clump of soil into a compact one.

Wind Walk increases movement speed.

The Freeze spell won't kill people; it can only create some ice.

Light and Darkness spells can barely interfere with vision.

Healing techniques can be used to stop bleeding and heal wounds, but if the wound is too large, it may not be able to heal completely.

"I've seen these kinds of spells in picture books! They shouldn't be this bad, right? I'm not sure, I'll keep looking..."

After reading a few more chapters, she discovered the problem.

This book only teaches introductory-level magic.

All the spells have beginner-level effects, so they look rather weak.

At higher levels, things change.

These selected spells are relatively practical at the beginner and low-level stages, and cannot be replaced by spells from other schools.

The purpose is simply to give the little witches a basic understanding of each type of magic, and to ensure that what they learn is as useful as possible and not wasted.

Looking at it this way, Moran understood why there were no highly offensive spells.

Many magic systems have powerful offensive spells, and you can find a corresponding option regardless of which magic system you are good at. However, not every magic system can produce sharp weapons, mirrors, incinerate corpses without leaving a trace, or turn soil into bricks.

For little witches who lack talent and cannot master these spells to an advanced level, these spells are still useful and won't prevent them from learning their preferred magic to enhance their combat power in the future.

For a young witch with this talent, learning these spells and then continuing to learn them to higher levels can also bring considerable benefits.

Once Moran understood this, his enthusiasm for the book soared once more.

Learning something is never a waste; that's good magic!
Come to think of it, she had seen all of these spells in the picture book of "The Witch's Magical Handbook".

It contains not only introductions to magic and spellcasting commands, but also pictures of Lady Tracy casting magic.

Moran had seen and memorized everything, but he hadn't tried to use it.

"The Witch's Magic Handbook" is merely a set of books that teach witches how to quickly cast spells; it doesn't offer much information about magic itself or how to further learn and upgrade magic.

It lacks some more detailed and in-depth elements, focusing more on the spellcasting itself.

In comparison, "The Practical Apprentice Witch's Magic Book" is a bit more basic.

However, in theory, the "Witch's Magic Handbook" is enough to learn the corresponding magic, since this book is actually a summary of all free witch magic by Lady Tracy.

"Why don't we give it a try?" Moran drew his wand.
