Even if there had been one failure, there was no reason for a spellcaster's pursuit of truth to stop. Besides, so far, Punk had lost only two scraps of material.

Come to think of it, a robe did not necessarily need matching gloves. Without the restraints of gloves, he could simply consider his fingers liberated.

Thinking optimistically, Punk began carefully clearing the various lingering Law contaminations from his laboratory.

Due to the energy leakage caused by the failed experiment, many Law energy entities stripped from within the leather had adhered to the metal walls and floor. Punk had to clean away this contamination before he could begin his next experiment.

As he meticulously erased strands of residual Law energy, the spellcaster also began seriously considering new ideas regarding the Legendary magic robe.

According to the Legendary Mage's original plan, he had intended to directly create a complete finished robe. It should have possessed the most basic Legendary magic equipment properties, such as "Toughness," "Corrosion Resistance," "Automatic Recharging," and "Blocking Lesser Detection," while also being imbued with at least two or three practical Legendary Level Spells.

After all, only Legendary creations with practical combat value could be called "magic equipment." In Whisper of Destruction's view, if a magic item lacked a whole host of properties that could flexibly handle various battlefield environments and different kinds of enemies, then it had no right to be brought onto a battlefield.

The amount of water a barrel could hold was determined not by its longest stave, but by its shortest one. This theory was always worth considering.

But now... Punk felt that he might have been overthinking things.

After nearly two thousand years of experimentation, the spellcaster had to admit one fact—he still lacked the ability to create a magic item "without any shortcomings."
