Sixth Ring Wizard

Chapter 25 The Law of Attraction for Wizards

With Deep Blue's assistance, Hellagur can save a lot of time in constructing spell models, letting Deep Blue do it for him while he waits for the results and uses them directly.

"This is the first time I've encountered a Deep Blue mission that requires me to spend time since I've been here."

Deep Blue completed all of Helag's previous quests instantly.

In his mind, a spell model constructed using mental power was being built.

Originally, this process required Helag to complete on his own, which demanded a high level of mental control over the human brain. It also required constant thinking, calculation of parameters and formulas, and extremely high intellectual requirements.

According to "Level Zero Spells: A Detailed Explanation of Petrification," it takes an average person one to three months to construct a spell model. The human brain is prone to error; if even one calculation goes wrong, the entire construction process must be restarted.

Deep Blue takes only 25 minutes, is error-free, and is 100% accurate.

Twenty-five minutes later.

"The model for the level 0 spell Petrify has been completed."

In Herag's mind, a partial model of the petrification spell had already been constructed. Now he only needed to input magic into the model and activate it with the incantation.

Some spells require specific casting materials, such as the Bloodborne Curse that Malcolm used previously.

Some petrification spells act directly on the caster and do not require additional casting materials.

"Partial Petrification!"

Herag channeled magic into the model while simultaneously reciting part of the petrification incantation.

His right palm immediately changed; the skin turned a stone-like grayish-white.

Herag touched it; it was very hard.

He clenched his fingers and found that they were not stiff, could still move freely, and still had tactile sensation.

"It seems to have greatly improved defensive capabilities, but it doesn't affect the original functionality," Herag concluded after the experiment.

The petrification effect of some petrification spells does not turn that part of the body directly into stone; it simply greatly increases the surface's defensive capabilities.

Maintaining a portion of the petrification spell requires a continuous influx of mana into the spell model. Once Horag stops inputting mana, the petrification spell is automatically dispelled.

"Deep Blue, how much magic power did the petrification spell consume?"

"Based on the current magical power, some petrification spells consume 1% of magical power per second."

This consumption was somewhat beyond Herag's expectations. He couldn't even maintain his full magical power for two minutes. No wonder the red-haired guy used it and immediately stopped.

Thinking of the red-haired man, Herag picked up the ring again, feeling it necessary to go find Claude.

He hadn't mentioned having any demonized items before because it was impossible to fully trust someone you'd just met.

Although they are said to be in a teacher-student relationship, they all know in their hearts that it is just an exchange of benefits, and it is just an investment by Claude.

He didn't want someone to become greedy because of a demonized item, thus getting into unnecessary trouble.

But I still have to ask. There's no information about wizards in the library, so I'll have to ask Claude.

……

Northentan College.

"This ring looks like a keepsake," Claude said, examining it closely with a magnifying glass.

"A token?" Herag remembered that his pocket watch was also a token, which he could use to join the Sixth Ring Tower.

Claude put down the magnifying glass and said, "Tokens are a common recruitment method used by wizarding organizations. They will give tokens to people who have contributed to the organization, and their descendants can join the organization directly with the token as long as they are qualified, without having to take a test."

"Does it have to be a junior?" Herag asked.

"No, that was the initial intention. But as things developed, the tokens might have been circulating in the world for thousands of years. In that case, who would know if you were a descendant of an old friend? Eventually, anyone with the qualifications could join the wizarding organization by presenting the token," Claude said slowly.

"Can one join a wizarding organization without a token?" Herag continued to ask.

Claude chuckled, "Of course. The normal procedure is to transport qualified individuals by ship to participate in the test, and then have them selected by various wizarding organizations. If you have a token, this step can be skipped; the ship will take you directly to the corresponding wizarding organization."

"There are pros and cons. The pros are that you don't have to worry about not being selected, and at least you can join a wizarding organization. The cons are that the wizarding organization you join may not be powerful. It's a trade-off."

Herag hesitated for a moment, then decided to ask, "Teacher, have you ever heard of the Sixth Ring Tower, this wizarding organization?"

Claude stroked his beard, lost in thought, and then said, "I don't know of any wizarding organization called the Sixth Ring Tower. It's probably a wizarding organization deeper in the continent of Karag. You'll have to look it up yourself when you get there."

"I understand, teacher. Have you heard of the Glorious Calendar?" Herag continued to ask.

Claude was quite surprised: "You actually know about the Glorious Calendar? The Glorious Calendar is a history that has been lost. Only some books contain some records that cannot be verified. Currently, no one can prove whether it exists or not."

Herag felt a chill run down his spine; just as he had guessed.

The era in which Nicholas lived is too long ago; it's highly unlikely that the Sixth Ring Tower organization could find any information about him now.

Right now, this ring is the only way to secure a place in the wizarding organization. Skipping a testing phase would be very beneficial for me.

He suddenly remembered the teacher the red-haired man had mentioned, and asked, "Are there frequent ships transporting wizard apprentices? Are there that many wizard apprentices on the continent of Coulson?"

Claude shook his head: "There are very few on the Coulson Continent. It might happen every few years, or it might not happen for ten years in a row."

"Many wizarding apprentices who once sailed out never became full wizards in their lifetime, and many of them would return to the continent of Coulson when their lives were about to end."

"If these old wizard apprentices encounter a child with wizarding potential, they will often take him on as an apprentice, train him for a few years, and then send him on the ship."

"And then there are those like you who accidentally obtain demonized items and happen to have the aptitude for them, so they often end up on that ship."

"There's an invisible attraction among wizards. Those with the talent and enchanted items can easily embark on the path of wizardry. Just like you having this ring, and then meeting me, and me pointing you to the path of boarding the ship, it's all fate."

"Even if you don't know me, you will eventually come into contact with the wizarding organization through other means."

"This is also the significance of the token; it always brings fresh blood to the wizarding organization."

"This is what I know about the Law of Attraction in Wizardry."

This was the first time Herag had heard this claim; wizards could actually be attracted to each other.

He thought of the redhead; there probably weren't many wizard apprentices on the entire continent of Coulson, but he just happened to run into one.

According to this law of attraction, places with many wizards will become more and more numerous, and places with few wizards will become less and less numerous.
