Skill completion evolved, project submission, a stunned Rockforge, Master Level Witchcraft Artifact Repair

In the laboratory, Ian set down the furnace component he had just crafted, which contained an extraction rune.

Just as before.

He had divided the furnace into individual components to craft, raising his proficiency at the same time.

This was also the most practical method he had verified.

"Finally at Master Level. My talent has reached ten thousand points!"

Ian took a deep breath.

He felt the changes within him.

Both his elemental perception and the silver Star Sand of Principle Insight seemed to have grown a little.

There were all sorts of other subtle changes as well.

Though the improvement was not as great as advancing between tiers, it could certainly be called a minor transformation.

At the very least, he was over ten percent stronger.

But none of that was the most important thing.

"Skill completion has changed."

Ian's eyes lit up.

This ability, which had appeared when his talent reached five thousand points, had finally evolved again at ten thousand.

He opened the panel.

Ian's gaze moved to Earth Vein Tremor.

The same completion information was there, but with more details added.

Deficiencies available for completion: 3.

Deficiency 1: Low energy transmission efficiency (requires Master Level knowledge of subjects such as Earth Vein Resonance Theory). Effect after completion: Earth Vein Tremor's range increases by 30%, reaction speed increases by 50%.

Deficiency 2: Material-energy compatibility (requires Master Level knowledge of subjects such as Principles of Elemental Diffusion). Effect after completion: Can simultaneously sense earth vein fluctuations at three different locations. Deficiency 3: Poor synergy with the fire element (requires Master Level knowledge of subjects such as Principles of Fire-Earth Conversion). Effect after completion:

Produces a "lava amplification" effect where fire and earth intersect within the domain.

Optimal path summary: 1 → 2 → 3.
