The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

Chapter 203 Magic Lesson

The afternoon magic class will be held at the magic training ground.

On the way, Vasita was still saying that she didn't know where the gate to the magic training ground was. She had been here before but couldn't find the entrance.

After flying over the magic training ground, looking at the skylight on the tower of the indoor training ground and the open-air training ground that was spread out in front of him, he finally understood: "So the entrance is in the sky!"

“Indoor Training Ground 1…it’s over there!” Sylph saw the words on the flag on the tower and flew over there first.

Moran and Vasida followed closely behind.

The three little witches flew into the skylight, and beyond the skylight passageway was a spacious training ground.

The little witch had already arrived and was currently gathered around a group of tin men at the edge of the training ground, doing something unknown.

"These are training dolls! Alchemical artifacts that can react to magic just like real people, helping us practice magic."

Moran and the others looked up and saw it was Ms. Amisha.

The moment her feet touched the ground, the academy bell rang, as punctual as ever.

"In the upcoming magic classes, we will learn eighteen different schools of magic."

However, it needs to be made clear that in this class, learning magic is secondary; understanding the characteristics of different schools and main branches of magic, and knowing how to choose magic, is the most important thing.

We will use these eighteen spells as examples to show you the differences between different schools of magic.

Today we're going to learn the sharpness technique of the metal element!

Sharpness is a branch of metal magic within the elemental magic school.

Last year in our basic magic theory class, we discussed that elemental magic is magic related to the elemental energies that make up matter.

"So..." Amisha looked at the little witches, "...Do you remember what elemental energy and matter composition metal magic is related to?"

"Gold elemental power!"

"Metal!"

The little witches blurted it out, and then they were stunned.

Amisha nodded in satisfaction: "It seems that last year's exam went well!"
Metals are made of the element of metal, so all the properties of metals are also properties of the element of metal, whether they are ordinary metals or magical metals!

Metal magic is magic that uses the power of the metal element.

The size of the golden halo within everyone's energy aura represents their talent in metal-based magic.

The better one's talent in metal magic, the higher the efficiency of converting magical power into metal elemental power, and the higher the upper limit of metal magic.

Although your class doesn't have any little witches with outstanding talent in metal magic, there are three little witches with unlimited talent in all magic types, and several little witches also have intermediate talent in metal magic, and may need to study metal magic in depth in the future.

If you are choosing to learn a selection of spells from a particular elemental magic system, the most important thing to pay attention to is the prominent characteristics of elemental power.

Although the characteristics of elemental forces are diverse and complex, and each element's magic has a variety of abilities, magic that emphasizes the characteristics of elemental forces is still more powerful than magic that emphasizes other characteristics.

Just like choosing magic with strong attack power, water and wood are not the best choices; fire and metal are more suitable.

It's not that water and wood magic lack offensive magic, but rather that their most prominent characteristic isn't in terms of attack power; achieving a strong offensive effect requires higher standards.

Taking the elemental power of metal as an example, its most prominent characteristics are sharpness and hardness, both of which are beneficial for attacking and damaging.

Therefore, metal-based attack magic is quite powerful.

The Sharpness Technique we're going to learn today is a magic that showcases the universal characteristic of the metal element: 'sharpness'.

This magic is classic.

Not only does witchcraft contain similar magic, but human and dwarven magic also have similar spells. Speaking of dwarves, as taught in continental history class, their alchemy and forging techniques are among the best in Valen.

Alchemy is a branch of metal magic, and the dwarves also have in-depth research on metal magic other than alchemy.

However, their metal-based magic is similar to sharpening spells, which tend to amplify weapons with magic for close combat.

Human metal magic is more similar to ours, primarily focusing on ranged attacks.

The reason we chose Sharpness as everyone's introductory metal magic is because the dwarves' research direction is more suitable for use when magic power is insufficient and magic level is low.

The casting cost and level requirement for Sharpening are the lowest among all metal magic spells.

Even if you don't have a high aptitude for metal magic, you can still play a significant role once you learn this spell.

When magic power is severely depleted and unable to cast another powerful spell, this spell can be used to add damage to one's weapon, along with a little poison, for a final counterattack.

Moreover, our witch's sharpness technique has its own unique aspects.

The witch's Sharpening spell, with each use, is a mild form of alchemy and enchantment of the weapon.

A single use may not have a significant effect, but over time, it will definitely transform the weapon into a magical item.

Moreover, this improvement has no upper limit; it relies solely on accumulation and is effective not only for ordinary weapons but also for magical weapons.

However, these magical weapons are bound to a master and can only be used by witches who wield sharpness spells.

Attention, little witches who aren't good at alchemy! The Sharpening spell might be your easiest chance to obtain magical weapons!
With the addition of magical infusion, one can also master the art of throwing knives, turning it into a ranged attack method.

Many food witches use this method to forge kitchen knives into sharp magical weapons, making them not only cooking utensils but also powerful self-defense tools..."

Unlike previous magic classes, in this lesson, before we officially began attempting to cast spells, Ms. Amisha talked a great deal.

Just as she said, the Sharpness spell itself is just a starting point to introduce people to metal magic.

The Sharpening spell was more useful than the little witches had imagined, and Moran realized that she had underestimated this magic.

The little witches' eyes were filled with: "I want to learn!"

Amisha smiled and shook her head: "Before learning the Sharpening spell, try converting your magic power into gold elemental power, feel the gold elemental power, and be careful to control the amount used, just 1 mana is enough!"

The transformation of witches' magical power into various forms of energy is almost instinctive. With a single thought, the little witches gather golden elemental power at the tip of their staffs.

They were close enough that even without any magic being formed, they could feel the sharpness, hardness, and murderous intent of this power.

I have gained a clear understanding of the outstanding properties of the element of gold.

Everyone followed Ms. Amisa's instructions and used 1 Mana of magic or the equivalent of 1 Mana of magic power to convert the gold elemental force.

However, the resulting clusters of gold element energy vary in size.

The gold elemental clusters at the tips of Moran, Sylph, and Vasita's staffs are the largest, and there is almost no energy loss during the entire transformation process.

1. Mana's magic power was basically transformed into a cluster of gold elemental forces.

The other little witches' golden elemental orbs were all much smaller than theirs.

The difference in talent became tangible at that moment.

While the little witches were still comparing the sizes of their respective golden elemental orbs, Ms. Amisa brought out a whole bunch of all sorts of weapons.

Daggers, scimitars, short swords, rapiers... they have everything, mostly small, short-handled weapons, with daggers being the main type.

Then, Ms. Amisa picked out an ordinary fine iron dagger and demonstrated its attack power before and after being enhanced with the Sharpness spell.
