The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

Chapter 242 Spatial Magic
Moran had always wanted to create storage space-themed cards, but he was unable to do so due to a lack of knowledge and ability.

To create this type of card, besides the "space" rune and the blueprints for space items, space magic is her biggest breakthrough.

Spatial magic is even more important.

Because without magical materials with spatial properties, even a top-tier alchemist witch cannot create spatial items.

The higher the level of alchemy, the higher the requirements for materials.

In Valen, magical materials with spatial properties have always been rare and in high demand.

This naturally leads to a scarcity of spatial items in Valen, making it rare for anyone to possess them.

However, the spatial magic within the witch's spatial magic system is the only magic in the entire Valen world that can artificially create spatial magical materials.

It can be said that the Space Witch can become rich and live a life of luxury by relying on her spatial magic.

Unfortunately, there are very few witches with outstanding spatial magic talent. If we don't count witches, among ordinary witches, those with spatial magic talent are one in ten thousand.

The probability of a witch appearing is even lower than that of a witch in a witch story.

However, one must possess at least an advanced spatial magic talent to successfully cast spatial spells.

Therefore, there aren't many witches who can possess items that can be stored in space.

Most witches rely on another space magic spell with lower learning requirements—shrinking—to carry their belongings.

Shrinking magic is also an essential spatial magic for witches, whether at home or traveling.

However, shrinking techniques are still not as convenient as storing items in a spatial dimension.

Moran has been reading books on spatial magic, and he's already read most of them.

There are very few spatial attack spells and only one defensive spell each: Air Blade and Air Shield.

However, both of these spells rely on dividing space. If you can't stop the space from splitting, you can't stop the air blade; if you can't break through space, you can't break through the air shield.

Both of them are far more powerful in terms of both offense and defense than elemental magic of the same level, and of course, they are also more difficult to learn and master.

As for auxiliary spatial magic, its uses are endless, and Moran doesn't want to miss any of them.

Some people have learned shrinking magic in magic class, which can compress objects into smaller sizes in space;
It possesses spatial magic that can transform ordinary materials into magical materials with spatial properties;
It possesses a teleportation technique capable of traversing space and traveling a thousand miles in a single step;

There are expansion techniques that can enlarge space...

Apart from the Shrinking Technique, which can be learned with an apprentice-level spatial magic talent, all others require an advanced or higher level of spatial magic talent.

For Moran, talent was certainly not a problem; learning it was probably not difficult. However, leveling up these spatial magic spells was not easy.

When Moran cast the shrinking spell, he discovered that converting magic power into spatial power for casting spells was much more difficult than converting magic power into elemental power for casting spells.

The book says it's because spatial forces have a slightly higher energy level than elemental forces.

Because of this, Moran read the book on spatial magic in advance and planned to put it together with alchemy, potion making, and plant magic, and find extra time to study and train in it.

After quickly finishing reading the remaining part of the space magic book, Moran tried casting space magic.

As expected, the spell was successful on the first attempt.

However, basically, apart from shrinking spells and spatial spells, they are not very useful.

After all, it's only at the level of an apprentice-level magic user, with less than 1% of the progress bar filled. Spatial magic mostly only becomes powerful at higher levels.

With Moran's current magic level, the spatial blade created by his Void Blade Technique can only leave a wound about half a finger long and half a millimeter deep on the training dummy. Even if it cuts a vital spot, it won't cause much damage.

The protective area of ​​the Air Shield spell is only the size of a fingernail, and it can probably only block one flying needle.

The teleportation spell can move a soybean from the left pocket to the right pocket.

The expansion technique can transform the interior space of a palm-sized purse into the size of two palms, and maintain this for one minute.

If a young witch with genuine magical power at the apprentice level were to cast these spells, the effect would only be worse.

The shrinking spell at the apprentice level is much more practical than the spatial spell.

The apprentice-level shrinking technique, with a little practice, can shrink ordinary objects up to ten times.

Even if a novice-level spatial spell is mastered to its highest level, the spatial attributes it can add in a single cast are pitifully small and almost useless. However, it can be reused. By repeatedly casting spells on the same object, the accumulated spatial attributes can eventually come in handy.

Of course, because the skill level is too low, the accumulated spatial attributes are also limited.

If you don't break through to the Apprentice level, you'll be lucky if the materials you produce can be used to make a space item of about one cubic meter.

The book "How to Quickly Create a Space Stone" says that casting space magic on gemstones is most effective.

For this reason, Moran went to the low-level magic item warehouse in the West Tower and picked out a small purple gemstone to use as a casting material for spatial spells.

Every day I practice spatial magic on it for a while, hoping that it can transform from an ordinary gem into a magical gem with spatial attributes.

Even if it's not possible to create cards with spatial attributes using it, creating spatial magic gem cards will definitely be no problem.

By then, we'll have the materials to craft spatial items.

Magical materials with spatial properties are extremely rare; if they were available, they would have already been crafted into spatial items.

Moran asked Ms. Amisha, and she learned that there wasn't a single magical material with spatial attributes in the academy's warehouse. If Moran wanted to practice crafting, he would have to find a way himself.

She could only rely on the spatial magic gem she created herself.

Upgrading spatial magic levels is really difficult.

The percentage of magic power that can be converted into spatial power each time a spell is cast increases very little.

I've been training for two months, and I still only have a 0.2% success rate.

If the progress bar for spatial magic level on Moran's character card displays correctly, it's currently only one-tenth of the apprentice level.

If she had practiced other spells for so long, her apprentice level progress bar would be at least half full.

Only spatial magic remains a distant prospect, progressing at a snail's pace.

It was too slow, so Moran couldn't help but ask Ms. Amisha during his magic Q&A class:
"…Dean, is there anything wrong with how I'm learning spatial magic? My progress is too slow!"

"Where is your progress slow? Everyone says that magic power is stronger than magical power and easier to convert into energy, and it's true!" Amisha said irritably.

Moran felt that what Ms. Amisha said sounded familiar, and after a moment's thought, she remembered: "Isn't this something from 'Unsolved Mysteries of Witches'? Can this really be believed?"

“When I first started formally studying spatial magic, I was several ranks higher than you are now, and my total magic power was several zeros higher, but I didn’t learn it much faster than you. Do you think that’s true?” Amisha looked at her resentfully.
