The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

Chapter 67 Witch Magic Catalog
Although Moran's passion for studying cards has waned recently, he has focused more on reading and learning.

However, she still sells cards that have already been tested by the market without hesitation.

Yesterday's {Mobile Kitchen Card} and {Portable Kitchenware Card}, and today's {Recording Card}, Moran updated them all on the big posters outside the castle warehouse.

They turned that place into their own card-selling section.

On the way down the mountain, a senior student came up to her and asked her to buy a card.

After finishing her afternoon cooking magic class, Moran walked to her dormitory and saw Lilith, her senior, lingering at the entrance of her courtyard: "Senior?"

"Ah? Moran, you're back!" Lilith stiffened, turned around, and asked with her last glimmer of hope, "How's the energy storage card research going?"

Moran shook her head: "It can't be done in a short time."

Hope dashed, Lilith's face contorted with pain: "Then... give me a {portable kitchen utensil card}! Can you give me a discount?"

Moran smiled and said, "No way! This is already a friendly price from the little witch."

Even if a one-time magic power that can be restored daily costs ten times more, there are witches willing to pay for it.

Lilith gritted her teeth: "I knew it! Fine, I'll just buy the {Mobile Kitchen Card}! Let's get it all done at once."

What if the price of a certain goblin witch increases in a few years?
“Okay!” Moran pulled a piece of parchment from her bag: “Installment payment or full payment?”

“Installment payment! Of course, installment payment! Five hundred mana, even a witch couldn’t afford to come up with that all at once!” Lilith said.

Moran quickly wrote out a contract and made her sign it as if afraid she would regret it.

The contract was established, the magic was credited, and the cards were handed over before Moran comforted her:

"Senior, with your total magic power, you should be able to recover 500 mana in less than a day!"

The senior is already a high-level witch with over a thousand mana of magic power, while five hundred mana is less than half of that.

"You'll understand once you learn more spells. Practicing spells requires magic power, and researching talent manifestations also requires magic power. Do you know how long it's been since I've been able to save half my magic power before midnight? Your card is getting more and more expensive. Buying one means I'll have to live frugally for several days!" Lilith said resentfully.

I really miss that junior who would give away cards for free at the drop of a hat!
"Thank you for the reminder, senior! I will definitely take advantage of the low energy consumption during magic practice to save up more magic power for later use!" Moran said.

She can't accumulate enough magic power to cast spells directly, but she can accumulate enough magic power to make cards!

"By the way, senior, do you have any news about the fifth-year seniors?" Moran asked.

The little witches in grades one through four all came to buy her cards, but the fifth-grade students never showed up.

“I don’t know either. After the annual entrance banquet, we never see the fifth-year witches again. All I know is that they go to the outer areas of the academy. But they reappear before graduation,” Lilith said.

Moran was relieved to hear this.

Before enrolling, the young witches all signed a contract that they could not reveal the information about underage witches.

So before she comes of age, the only audience for the cards is the young witches in school.

Every year, a little witch graduates; missing even one is a loss for her.

As long as I can still access the fifth-grade witch, that's fine.

Lilith had just lost a large amount of magic and had no desire to chat anymore. She climbed over the wall back to her dorm, closed the door, buried herself in a cushion, and screamed in despair:
"How can there be such a big difference between witches!"
Witch magic, witch magic! No! I need to research witch magic quickly; it won't do to only sell and not buy! After selling another card, Moran returned to his dormitory in a good mood. While eating the jerky Ais fed him, he organized his notes on today's questions and compiled them into a paper.

Before long, a paper was completed.

The summary paper is easy to write, but the other paper, "On Witchcraft Schools and Representative Magic," is a bit more troublesome; I'll have to do some research.

Moran opened the "Catalogue of Witches' Magic".

This is an encyclopedia of witch magic, recording the existing witch magic schools, the magical effects corresponding to different levels, approximate magic consumption, common uses, recommended learning levels, and recommended learning guides.

Holding this book, you won't learn any magic spells, but you'll gain a basic understanding of each spell, and you'll also know roughly what level is suitable to learn it, and what books to read to learn it.

Recommended books for learning cooking magic include the textbook "Learn Cooking Magic from Scratch" and supplementary reading materials such as "The Illustrated Guide to the Cuisine of Valen Continent", "The Choice of Ingredients", and "The Making of a Chef".

The information needed for the paper was easy to find; Moran quickly selected it, summarized it into an article, and wrote it on parchment.

You only realize how difficult it is to actually write these two papers after you've actually written them. They may look intimidating, but they're not actually that hard to write, and they don't need to be very long.

Even after finishing her thesis, Moran was still reluctant to put down the book.

With the cooking magic class coming up soon, perhaps she could try learning other magic on her own beforehand?
For example, the Clear Spring Technique?
After all, even if we use it sparingly, the water in the backyard water tank is almost gone!

Fortunately, she had all the introductory learning guides for the Clear Spring Technique.

She opened the book "Ignition, Lighting and Water Making".

This book is a guide for beginners to learn the spells of Fire, Light, and Clear Spring.

Moran skipped directly to the section on the Clear Spring Technique.

"Preparations before learning: a basin of pure, unadulterated spring water, a handy magic wand, and an empty basin to catch the water..."

Moran prepared the necessary items as instructed in the book, and then continued reading:

"The first step is to feel the spring water, observe the spring water, and get an accurate impression of it."

The second step is to take your wand, concentrate, and clearly and accurately give your magical power a command to transform it into pure spring water.

"That's it? That's all?" Moran flipped through the pages in disbelief.

The practice steps for this magic really only have two steps!

The following content is about how to control the size and speed of the spring water flow.

It's even simpler than the cooking magic learning methods described in "Learn Cooking Magic from Scratch".

The simpler the design, the less Moran dares to be casual.

This is how it was when I first tried cooking magic.

It looked simple, but I later discovered that every sentence in the book was accurate.

For example, the book mentions that she should start by kneading dough with magic and using a stained spoon.

When she read in the book that once she mastered the skills of baking bread, making soup, and frying steaks, she could start trying to make bread, soup, and steaks using cooking magic, she automatically extended her understanding to that she could also try to make other dishes using cooking magic.
