The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

Chapter 241 Magic Prices
Moran shared his secrets to quickly learning woodworking and goldworking with the little witches without reservation.

The little witches took her advice seriously and went directly to the academy castle to copy down the two magic books Moran recommended.

After all, outside of class, there isn't much time to do my own thing.

Moran has already learned all four types of elemental magic, while they haven't even had a chance to properly study the one type of magic they're planning to delve into.

So they, too, are eager to finish their courses quickly, save up more vacation time, and learn the magic they want to learn.

Moran added fuel to the fire of the little witches' alchemy lessons, but then went to the magic training grounds to begin her own magic practice for the day.

She returned to her dormitory after her magic power was depleted by more than half.

Starting tomorrow, aside from setting aside a little time each Friday afternoon for a magic Q&A session to get Ms. Amisa's answers to her questions about the week's studies, she can arrange all her time as she sees fit.

Moran allocated the extra time in the afternoon to alchemy, potion-making, spatial magic, and plant magic.

While learning elemental magic, I plan to also accelerate my progress in these other magic systems.

Moreover, it's not about learning one subject before moving on to the next, but about progressing through all four simultaneously.

She has now finished reading all the books about alchemy.

Not just those in the second-grade library, nor just the picture book "The Witch's Alchemy Manual" on the sixth floor of the library.

It contains all the books about alchemy in the library.

It could be said that at this moment, her knowledge of alchemy surpasses that of many alchemists.

Next, after summarizing and organizing the knowledge of the 108 individual runes in your mind, you can start crafting magical items according to the alchemy blueprints and gradually improve your alchemy magic ability.

For Moran, crafting each magical item is an opportunity to enrich his card pool.

She only needs to refine it once to mass-produce it.

However, the pricing of these cards needs to be considered.

No, it should be all cards related to magic and magical items whose pricing needs to be reconsidered.

The Book of Cards is very powerful; as long as you have the knowledge and energy reserves, you can create any kind of card.

Moran had no problem using the Book of Cards to earn magic power; she couldn't control anything else. However, she felt that she shouldn't let the cards affect the witches' magical heritage and living space.

The Book of Cards is the manifestation of her talent, because she exists.

If the witches rely too much on the Book of Cards and allow cards to completely dominate the magical item market, what will happen to the witches if one day she is gone and the Book of Cards is no longer available?
Although purchasing cards requires magical power, and magical training helps increase magical power, even if cards dominate the market, the witch will not neglect her magic.

However, if cards that can replace potions and magical items have too much of an impact on the potion-making and alchemy market, it may lead to the decline of alchemical and pharmaceutical magic.

This is something Moran doesn't want to see.

This is different from magic cards.

Although the functions of magic cards overlap to some extent with the magic of witches.

However, she's currently selling one-time magic cards, which are significantly more expensive than the spells the witch herself uses. These cards are targeted at contractors who lack certain magical talents but need them, as well as contractors who want to save magic cards for crucial moments.

Such magic cards can only serve as a supplement; they cannot replace magic, nor will they affect the witches' motivation to learn magic.

Moran thought about it and concluded that only by understanding the original value could she set a suitable price.

Although her alchemy and potion-making skills aren't great right now, and she can't make many things, she needs to learn about them beforehand so she'll know how to make these cards later!
Unfortunately, she had never seen a similar book in the library, nor any picture books like that.

Then we have no choice but to seek help from Ms. Amisha:

"Dean! Does the academy have any books about the market prices of magical materials and finished products within the Valen and Witch Clan?"

"Yes. The latest edition of 'The Price of Magic' is a recommended reading for fourth and fifth graders."

"Could I copy it down beforehand to take a look and understand the pricing of magical items? I hope that the business I'm doing with cards won't conflict too much with the business of alchemists and potion-making witches," Moran said.

Amisha was somewhat surprised that she had thought of this, and immediately signed a library pass for her.

The next morning, Moran went to the library and copied down the entire set of books.

This book was written fifty years ago and records the prices of various magical materials and items in the main regions of Valencia, including not only the specialties of the witch clan but also those of other races.

It perfectly meets her requirements.

She first took a look at the prices of low-level alchemical products and potions within the witch clan, as well as the prices of raw materials.

This is probably because witches can learn a little bit of magic from almost any system, and they also have free knowledge transfer; it just depends on whether they want to learn and are willing to learn.

Therefore, these low-level magical items don't generate much profit within the witch race. Any slightly unique items are mostly sold to other races in the wilderness. They manage to make a little money because of the small number of witches and the low production volume.

"If I were to turn these magical items into cards and mass-produce them, wouldn't they become completely unsellable?" Moran frowned.

This is definitely not possible.

All alchemists and potion-making witches' magic is developed from the apprentice level, and they initially create low-level magical items.

If these kinds of items don't sell, where will we get the money to continue improving our magic?

Although it's true that one should prioritize self-interest before benefiting others, Moran doesn't necessarily have to rely on selling these low-level magical item cards to earn magic power.

After studying "Magic Prices" all morning, Moran finally decided to abandon the idea of ​​directly feeding the magical items he made according to alchemy blueprints into the Book of Cards to mass-produce magical item cards for sale.

"It seems the only option is to design magical item cards that are more convenient and easier to use than regular alchemy and potion-making products to sell," Moran sighed.

Of course, she couldn't sell such magical item cards at only five times the cost price; she had to sell them at the market price.

We're not going to turn ordinary magical items into cards anymore. We still need to learn alchemy and potion-making properly. We still need to practice alchemy blueprints and potion recipes one by one.

With improved alchemy and potion-making abilities, her ability to create alchemical products and potions using her card book will be even stronger!

This is how you create magic item cards that are different from ordinary magic items and are therefore more valuable.

As for spatial magic and plant magic, it is extremely important that Moran included them in this year's study plan along with alchemy and potion-making magic.
