Super Mandrake Vine

Inside Witch Sophia's office.

Witch Sophia conducted several simple performance tests on the Level 4 Super Mandrake Vine.

After completing the tests, a trace of interest appeared in Witch Sophia's eyes. "It is truly hard to believe that a work like this was created by a Second-Class Wizard Apprentice like you."

"Its basic attributes would also improve tremendously."

"In other words, Locke Augustine, the magic vine you cultivated may very well change
