Wizard: My career panel has no upper limit

Chapter 329 The Creator's Blessing
In the afternoon, Ron arrived at Frederick's private workshop as promised.

This enchanting expert was clearly well-prepared for today's instruction.

The entire workshop has been rearranged, with various precision instruments and material samples arranged in an orderly manner.

But unlike before, Frederick looked unusually nervous today.

His left hand kept adjusting the position of the tools on the workbench.

This compulsive tidying behavior clearly goes beyond the scope of normal preparation work.

"Instructor Ralph, welcome to my workshop."

Frederick warmly greeted Ron:

"Today we will have an in-depth exchange on enchanting, which I believe will significantly help improve your skills."

Ron activated "Hermit's Insight" to observe the middle-aged wizard's subtle expressions and discovered some noteworthy details.

Frederick has a new small cut on his right index finger, which looks like it was caused by a sharp object.

What's even more puzzling is that a faint rune mark can be seen on his left arm.

That was certainly not ordinary decoration, but rather a kind of temporary enchantment with actual function.

He observed it for a moment and it seemed to be some kind of suppressive rune. Usually, this kind of rune is used to suppress certain terrible wounds that are difficult to heal with healing magic and potions...

“You look a little tired today, Lecturer Frederick.”

Ron asked tentatively:

Is it because the preparation work was too heavy?

"Ah, yes...that's true."

Frederick's answer sounded slightly flustered, and his eyes flickered:

"To ensure today's guidance achieves the best results, I spent almost the entire night last night adjusting these devices. After all, guiding a genius like you is a rare opportunity, and we can't afford to overlook anything."

The explanation sounded reasonable, but Ron keenly sensed something unnatural about it.

Frederick's anxiety did not seem to stem solely from the pressure of teaching.

However, given the current complex situation, this attitude is understandable.

The subsequent guidance process was exceptionally detailed and professional.

Frederick first conducted a comprehensive theoretical test on Ron.

Through a series of cleverly designed questions, several key weaknesses in his knowledge system were gradually identified:

"Your understanding of the nonlinear effects of energy conduction is not deep enough."

Frederick pointed to a complex theoretical diagram:

"This misunderstanding can cause unexpected problems when dealing with complex runes."

The flow of energy within a material does not always follow a linear pattern, especially when multiple runes are superimposed.

"In addition, the mechanism of interference between runes also needs to be mastered more precisely."

He presented several real-world examples:

"Look here, two runes that are normally compatible can resonate and conflict under certain conditions, causing the entire enchanting system to collapse. This situation is fatal in actual combat."

Ron carefully recorded these experiences and techniques, while secretly rejoicing at the upcoming boost to his learning ability brought about by the activation of the Scholar Star.

In this state, his comprehension speed is much faster than usual, and he can understand many concepts that used to require repeated thinking.

Finally, the assessment of material compatibility cannot rely solely on theoretical derivation.

Frederick picked up several seemingly identical metal samples:

"These are all standard steels, but due to subtle differences in the smelting process, their enchantment suitability is completely different."

This subtle perceptual ability can only be cultivated through extensive practice.

The next step is the practical operation guidance section.

Frederick personally teaches precision engraving techniques, starting with developing the most basic feel for the craft:
"Enchanting is not a purely theoretical activity, but a precise skill that requires both hands and brain."

He picked up a fine carving knife and gently traced lines on a piece of practice crystal:
“Every material has its own ‘personality,’ and you have to feel its energy and texture through touch.”

Excessive force will damage the internal structure, while excessive gentleness will prevent the formation of effective energy channels.

Ron carefully observed Frederick's technique.

Notice that when he was drawing each line, he would adjust the pressure and angle according to the subtle feedback of the material.

This kind of adjustment relies entirely on accumulated experience and cannot be learned from books.

Under Frederick's guidance, Ron began his further practical attempts.

"Controlling the force is one of the most difficult skills to master."

Frederick patiently instructed:
"Don't think of enchanting as sculpting, but as a process of 'persuasion'."

You should let the material cooperate with your intentions, rather than forcing it to accept external changes.

After dozens of repetitions and constant corrections from his partner, Ron clearly felt that his character portrayal skills had improved.

Although he hasn't reached Frederick's level of skill yet, he's already able to carve relatively smooth and complex lines.

"Your foundation is very solid, and you learn very quickly!"

Frederick nodded in satisfaction:

"Next, we will move on to the teaching of advanced techniques."

He began to explain professional-level techniques such as "energy circuit optimization", "multi-layer rune superposition", and "real-time debugging".

Each skill requires a solid theoretical foundation and rich practical experience, and it usually takes several years to master.

"Finally, I'm going to teach you a unique skill."

Frederick lowered his voice, as if revealing some important secret:
“'Material Resonance Sensing' – Establishing a temporary connection with materials through mental power to directly perceive their internal structure and energy properties.”

This skill requires extremely high mental control, but it is a very useful ability for a primal wizard like Ron.

After three hours of intensive instruction, Ron felt an unprecedented sense of accomplishment.

Those theories that seem simple in books actually have so many subtle changes and pitfalls in practice.

"Thank you for your guidance, Instructor Frederick."

Ron expressed his sincere gratitude:
“These practical experiences are extremely valuable to me; they are true wisdom that no classic text can provide.”

"It is my honor to mentor a genius like you."

Frederick paused slightly in his response, revealing a somewhat enigmatic emotion:

"Your learning ability is truly impressive, and I hope this knowledge will play its due role in your future path."

As they parted, Ron noticed that the runic marks on Frederick's left arm seemed to have faded further.

Perhaps Frederick also had his own unspeakable sorrows, but since the other party didn't bring it up, given their relationship...

In any case, the knowledge and skills gained today are real gains.

In this dangerous world, no opportunity to enhance one's own strength should be missed.

………………

That night, Ron returned to his workshop and began the crucial final breakthrough.

The workshop was exceptionally quiet under the cover of night, with only the faint light from the starlight crystals illuminating the workbench.

A low rumble came from the abyss observation station in the distance; it was the mechanical sound of some kind of large equipment in operation.

This sound constantly reminds everyone that countless unknown dangers lurk beneath this seemingly peaceful land.

He lit the magic lamp and began to integrate all the knowledge he had learned that day.

The first stage is the theoretical integration phase:
He integrated the practical skills taught by Frederick with his own existing theoretical foundation, and reorganized the entire knowledge framework of enchanting.

Under the influence of the soon-to-be-lit Scholar Star, this knowledge integration becomes exceptionally smooth.

Those complex relationships that used to require repeated thought to understand are now almost immediately clear.

Energy conduction laws, rune construction principles, material suitability analysis, superposition of multiple effects...

Each theoretical point found its place in my mind, forming a precise and complete knowledge network.

The next step is the practical verification phase:

Ron took an ordinary dagger from the tool rack, intending to use it as a test subject for his breakthrough experiment.

This dagger is made of standard steel and has nothing special about it, making it perfect for the final test of basic enchantments.

"Let's start with 'Sharpening'." He decided on the experimental plan in his mind. This was the most classic enchantment effect and the standard for testing skill level.

Activating "Hermit's Insight" and the newly learned "Material Resonance Sensing," Ron began to carefully perceive the internal structure of the dagger.

Under special viewing conditions, the microscopic arrangement of steel is clearly visible, allowing him to find the most suitable path for energy flow.

First attempt:
Due to insufficient precision in controlling the force, a small crack appeared just as the rune was about to close.

The entire energy structure thus failed, and the enchantment was declared a failure.

An unsightly scratch remained on the surface of the dagger, like the mark of a loser.

"The gap between theory and practice is indeed huge."

Ron calmly analyzed the reasons for the failure:

"The accuracy of material sensing needs to be further improved, as there are deviations in the judgment of steel toughness."

Second attempt:
Having learned from his previous experience, he adjusted the intensity and angle of his depiction.

The rune closed successfully this time, and the blade of the dagger began to emit a faint glow, indicating that the enchantment had indeed taken effect.

However, through the in-depth detection of "Super Recognition", the energy distribution is not uniform, and the stability of the effect has obvious problems.

While such an enchantment can temporarily increase sharpness, its durability is severely lacking, and it will quickly become ineffective.

Ron used the "energy circuit optimization" technique taught by Derek to adjust the intensity and frequency of magic output in real time during the drawing process.

His mental power precisely controlled every detail, like a thread, ensuring that the flow of energy in the rune channels reached its optimal state.

This time, the rune not only closed successfully, but the energy distribution also reached a near-perfectly uniform state.

The entire blade was enveloped in a steady magical light, significantly enhancing its sharpness, and the effect was exceptionally consistent.

The moment the last rune closed perfectly, Ron felt a qualitative leap.

That wasn't just a simple improvement in skill proficiency; it represented a new level of understanding of the entire field of enchanting.

The knowledge points that were originally scattered in my mind suddenly connected into a complete and precise system.

Those theoretical problems that once troubled him now have clear and intuitive answers.

It's like the last piece of a giant jigsaw puzzle being placed in the right position, instantly making the whole picture clear and easy to understand.

A notification from the job panel sounded in my mind:
[Includes +1 Magic (Beginner) Experience Point]

[Breakthrough! Enchanted Magic (Beginner 50/50) → Enchanted Magic (Proficient 1/100)]

[Gain the additional "Guidance" attribute]

[Guidance: Automatically corrects minor deviations during rune inscription, significantly improving success rate and stability]

[The job change requirements have been met]

Enchanter Job Change Requirements:

The level of proficiency in magic tricks is ( ).

Runecraft has reached the proficient level.

Successfully completed a full item enchantment.

Should I change my class to "Enchanter"?

Faced with this long-awaited choice, Ron did not hesitate to confirm.

A gentle yet powerful energy surged forth, beginning to reshape his mental structure and magical circuits.

Energy, like countless silver threads, pierced through his consciousness, establishing new connections in the neural networks associated with enchantment.

At the same time, his magic circuits underwent subtle adjustments, becoming more suitable for precise energy manipulation.

[Job Change Successful: Enchanter (Two and a Half Stars)]

【Basic attribute improvement:
精神力 5.58→5.68（+0.1）体质 3.65→3.75（+0.1）魔力 4.8→5.0（+0.2）】

【Special bonus:
1. Increased rune affinity significantly improves rune engraving success rate.

2. Enhanced material perception, allowing for a more intuitive understanding of a material's enchantment suitability.

3. Increased stability and durability of enchanted items.

[Skill Advancement: Enchantment → Enchantment Enhancement]

[Enchanting Enhancement: Not only can it add enchantment effects to items, it can also optimize the performance of existing effects]

What excited Ron even more was the professional synergy that followed:
[Occupational linkage effect detected:]

[Enchanter (2.5 stars) + Primal Wizard (3 stars) + Alchemist (2 stars) + Potions Master (2 stars)...]

1. Can temporarily imbue a spell with a magical medium during its casting to enhance its power.
2. The radiation field can stabilize the energy fluctuations of enchanted items.

3. Enchanting can be performed simultaneously during material conversion.
4. Enhanced enchantment effects for weapons, armor, and potions.

The most exciting thing is that the rewards after changing to Enchanter are still ongoing:

The "three-phase integration" condition has been partially met.
Potions Master (2-star) + Alchemist (2-star) + Enchanter (2.5-star)

[Gain the special synergy effect "Blessing of the Creator":]
1. Can create composite extraordinary items with multiple properties.
2. Increased success rate and reduced losses upon failure.

3. Gain creative inspiration and be able to design unprecedented types of items.

After completing the job change, Ron experienced unprecedented changes.

Although his mental strength only improved slightly, his perception accuracy was greatly enhanced.

The control over magic has become more precise, allowing for micro-manipulation that was previously unimaginable.

Runes were no longer rigid patterns in his eyes, but vibrant energy pathways.

He can clearly "see" how energy flows within it and understand the deeper meaning of every bend and connection.

The sense of satisfaction from this breakthrough gave Ron a long-lost feeling of fulfillment.

He could clearly feel himself moving towards a higher level, taking each step firmly and steadily.

"In any case, the power itself is real."

Ron forced himself to suppress these complex thoughts:

"Even though growth trajectories may be designed, these skills and abilities truly belong to me."

Moreover, only by becoming powerful enough can one escape this fate of being manipulated.

He walked deeper into the workshop and came to the special container that contained "ink".

After becoming an enchanter, he gained a completely new understanding of the bloodline-modified creature he had created himself.

With the new special enhancement of "material perception", he was able to perceive more clearly the complex biological structure and energy circuits within the "ink".

"Perhaps we could try adding some rune enhancements to it."

This idea sparked Ron's interest.

If enchanting techniques could be combined with bloodline modulation to create a creature assistant with runic abilities, it would be an unprecedented breakthrough.

However, the complexity and risks of this experiment are unprecedented.

"Start with simple attempts and gradually accumulate experience."

He formulated an experimental plan in his mind:

"The 'ink' has a high level of intelligence and cooperation, making it an ideal experimental subject. Moreover, the characteristics of the autophagy slime mean that even if problems arise during this experiment, they will not cause irreparable damage."

As night deepened, Ron's enthusiasm for research only grew stronger.

The enchanter job change opened a whole new door for him, and the gradual lighting up of the Scholar Star allowed his learning ability to reach new heights.

In this state, he felt he could absorb and master new knowledge at an unprecedented speed.

"The three phases have already taken the most crucial step of integration. What remains is to advance to 'Ancient Alchemist.' Perhaps we need to further develop these three professions, such as advancing to Potions Professor or Alchemy Master..."

He gazed at the sophisticated equipment and materials in the workshop:
"The fusion of potion-making, alchemy, and enchanting will allow me to create truly unique and extraordinary items."

The plan to activate the magic sword can now be initiated; perhaps it will become a key weapon for my survival and development in this dangerous world.

Outside the window, the towers of the Central Land stand silently under the starlight.

Those buildings, representing power and knowledge, have witnessed the rise and fall of countless wizards.

Ron knew that he still had a long way to go before becoming a true powerhouse.

But at least, he has been taking solid steps forward.
