Wizard: Starting from Escaping Another World to Pioneering

"Which plane's rune system does this belong to? Is it listed in the school's library?"

"And why does that snow beast have these runes on its body?"

Unable to find answers to his series of questions, Matthew gave up on the idea of ​​investigating further.

After reading through the contents of Durk's notes on runic literature, he made up for many of his shortcomings in this subject.

Only then did Matthew begin to mentally review the manufacturing method of the [Firebird Spell Scroll].

There are not many people in the Tidal School who make magic scrolls.

Firstly, because the runes that need to be inscribed for each spell are incredibly complex and difficult to master.

Secondly, the circuit of the spell is as continuous as a nerve network. In addition to requiring the maker to have a fine control over the force of the engraving knife, it is more important that the runes must be engraved in one stroke. If the angle of a certain arc is slightly off, the entire scroll will be ruined.

Therefore, this requires apprentices to have extremely strong concentration, a lot of repetitive practice, and a sufficient investment of magic stones in the early stages.

However, Matthew has a unique advantage in this regard because he had successfully created hundreds of record cards in the Winter Realm, so his concentration is extremely high, and he is very meticulous when depicting spell circuits.

"Let's give it a try."

Three things are needed for a witchcraft scroll: a container for the witchcraft model, witchcraft ink, and a witchcraft carving knife.

Taking the [Firebird Spell Scroll] he was going to make as an example, the carrier of the sorcery model was a scroll made of the bark of a fire-type magical plant.

Witchcraft ink is a mixture of various fire element substances.

When Matthew returned from the classroom building, he had already prepared all the materials needed to make the [Firebird Scroll].

He stared at the sorcery ink in his hand and opened the system.

【Name: Witchcraft Ink】

[Ingredients: Lava crystal powder, salamander tears, burning grass juice, fire rock beast blood, liquid sulfur...]

[Description: A mixture of various fire-based materials, often used to create fire elemental spell scrolls.]

[Can be used to extract: ink condensation, impurities, unstable particles, solution corrosion products...]

"System, extract ink condensation."

The deep red ink in the ink bottle vanished instantly, replaced by a dazzling white light that transformed into a few drops of crimson condensation suspended at the bottom of the bottle.

A strong aura of fire element emanated from the bottle, scorching the air.

Matthew could feel the surging power contained in the condensation; his hand holding the ink bottle was already burning hot.

"The power of the [Firebird Spell Scroll] made with ink condensation will be greatly increased."

Unfortunately, the scroll that holds the sorcery model can only be refined into a bunch of magical plant essences, otherwise he would definitely have refined the scroll using the system as well.

Matthew took a deep breath. "Let's begin..."

He took out a sorcery carving knife from his spatial bracelet, lightly touched the bottom of the bottle with the tip of the knife, dipped it in some ink condensation, and began to carve runes.

Half an hour later...

"Oh no!!!"

When Matthew was carving a line, the carving knife suddenly stopped at a certain bend because he didn't control the angle well.

The next moment, the magic went out of control like a runaway horse, and the runes twisted violently.

The reel started hissing and emitting white smoke, and a small flame appeared that quickly engulfed the entire reel.

Matthew raised his hand, and the spell model of the Water Condensation spell instantly appeared. A stream of water shot out from the void, instantly extinguishing the flames.

Staring at the charred, blackened reel, he couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache.

"The runes on the Firebird Scroll are much more complex than those on the Recording Fragment. It seems it will take more time to successfully create it."

Without much hesitation, Matthew took out another scroll, dipped his carving knife in the ink condensation, and began to carve runes again.

……

In the blink of an eye, a month has passed.

At this moment, Matthew sat cross-legged on the bed, meditating...

An irregular shape gradually emerged in his mental space.

The image trembled slightly, and he felt his mental strength had increased a little.

Matthew suddenly opened his eyes, his perception of everything becoming even clearer.

"Finally, I have completely meditated on one side of the Forgotten Diagram."

Since using the Forgotten Diagram meditation and with the help of the little fairy, his mental strength has increased by leaps and bounds.

He opened the system on himself and checked his current physical information.

Name: Matthew Claire

[Physical Fitness: 8]

【Mental Power: 19】

[Unrefinable: The item possesses its own consciousness.]

"My mental strength has increased to 19." Matthew looked at the contents of the panel without showing any joy.

Because he recently discovered something strange: he used to be able to meditate for two hours every day.

But for some reason, I can only meditate for one hour and fifty-seven minutes now.

"My meditation time has been reduced by three minutes!"

Why is this happening? Could it be due to the forgotten image?

"Also, I'm increasing my mental strength by about a little bit every week, and I only need 11 more weeks to advance to intermediate apprentice."

but……

Now, there is only one and a half months, or six weeks, left before the school's mission to die.

Matthew sighed. "It's still not enough. At this rate, it's impossible to advance to intermediate apprentice before the mission."

As for the improvement of the [Burning Hand], it has also hit a bottleneck, and Matthew has no clue how to fix it.

Fortunately, he finally managed to create the [Firebird Spell Scroll] within a month.

"No wonder there are so few people in the school who make witchcraft scrolls."

Even with his extensive experience in making documentary films, it took him a full month to create the witchcraft scroll. If an ordinary apprentice were to try, it would probably take more than half a year.

Matthew got up and walked to the wall, putting on the wizard's robes hanging there. "It's time to test the power of the scroll."

……

Ten minutes later, he appeared in the witchcraft training ground.

With his mind's control, the [Firebird Scroll] appeared out of thin air.

Matthew rubbed the scroll in his hand, feeling a power pulse between his fingers as they brushed against it.

Without much hesitation, he drew upon his own magic power and poured it into the scroll, instantly causing the [Firebird Scroll] to emit a burst of fire.

Magic flowed along the spell circuit above, and a scorching aura burst forth, instantly activating the runes.

The next moment, a large bird formed from raging flames shrieked as it tore through the spell model and roared out.

"Boom—" The firebird exploded with a deafening roar, and the terrifying flames instantly engulfed the puppet.

The flames generated heat waves that rippled through the air, and terrifying high temperatures spread throughout the space.

Even Matthew, standing behind the scroll, felt a burning sensation. "Is this really the power of the [Firebird Scroll]?"

The next moment, the white smoke dissipated. Matthew stared intently at the hysteroscopy monitor in front of him, somewhat unable to believe the numbers displayed.

"350 degrees?"

"The power of the [Firebird Scroll] is actually 350 degrees???"

Although Matthew was mentally prepared that the power of the [Firebird Scroll] made from the ink condensate would not be low.

But the figure of 350 degrees far exceeded his expectations.

Matthew nodded in satisfaction at the power of the [Firebird Scroll].

"It seems that the increased fire elemental affinity from the Flame Devourer bloodline also provides a boost to the use of fire-based spell scrolls."

"Now we finally have a means to threaten Mold."
