Planning Her Promotion

After Fran finished reading the Paper, several prompts Panel up in her mind.

One of the conditions for a mage of School to advance to the second tier is to possess First Order mage Profession of that School. In addition, there is another Profession that can be considered a new Profession.

You've found the normal path for a mage to advance, but you also realize there's another path a Profession can take.

Profession: Arcane Mage (1.5 stars)

Introduction: A Profession that relies on self-created spells to gain combat power. The more sophisticated the self-created spells are, the greater their effect. Furthermore, the more spell knowledge one learns, the higher the Profession's rank will be.

Conditions for formation: 1. Possess any First Order mage Profession.

2. Create at least one First Order spell.

3. In addition to the spells you created, you must have mastered ten other spells.

Fran didn't know why she had triggered this Profession; it might be because she had come across information related to advancement, as the Arcane Mage Profession was somewhat related to the mage advancement system.

However, it's a good thing no matter what, since having this Profession can boost your attributes.

Fran has already met the conditions for becoming an [Arcane Mage], for the first and third time. Only the second Fran has not yet been met.

After all, although Fran had many ideas in her mind, she was too busy with so many things after arriving at the Northern Lands Society that she simply didn't have time to create her own First Order spell.

"Let's do that later," Fran decided, then put the Profession lower on her list and began to think about her current career advancement plans.

In fact, Fran could start preparing for her advancement now. She has almost met the requirements for advancement to a mage of a School, namely the Elemental School.

She already possesses [Earth Uplift], [Howling Gale], and [Greater Fireball], all three of which she has mastered, thus meeting the requirements for advancement.

This is the closest path she can take to promotion.

There's also the ' Forge ' School's advancement method she used when she was promoted to Formal Rank.

Now, although she has mastered the First Order spells [Tool Enchantment] and [Tool Overload], there is no third First Order spell on the note that Harbos gave her.

In other words, if she wants to advance using the ' Forge ' school of School, she first needs to create a First Order spell, which happens to overlap with the requirements of the [Arcane Mage].

Creating a spell isn't something that can be done immediately, so she had to postpone it.

She then looked at the mage Profession on her Panel, excluding those from Sword Chant School Sword Chant School, except for those explicitly mentioned in the Paper.

Besides that, there's the Transmutation School, Fran School she can't even achieve the third point: understanding the spells of her own School.

Normal First Order Transmutation School have already modified their bodies to the point of being unrecognizable as human, but she still has all the original parts.

This seems highly unlikely to meet the promotion requirements.

There are also Spirit Realm Mage, whose advancement is even considered by the Spirit Realm itself.

This Paper does not mention the promotion method for Spirit Realm Mage, not for any particular reason, but simply because from the perspective of normal mages, Spirit Realm Mage are not considered normal mages, so naturally they are not listed in the article on mage promotion.

Another thing is the Alchemist that Fran was about to acquire; now that she thinks about it, she suddenly realizes how strange this Profession is.

Because this Profession is listed as [Alchemist] on her Profession Panel, while normally this Profession should be a mage Profession with a School name.

However, she didn't use the common methods for mages to develop this Profession. Even her mage Profession in the Sword Chant School followed that method for advancement.

So, should we give up the [Alchemist] Profession and switch to the mage Profession of that Alchemy School?

Fran thought about it carefully and decided to give it a try first. To be honest, there are two main benefits to her stacking up this Alchemy School's mage Profession right now.

One is the enhancement of mental attributes, which is basically the most significant for Profession. The other is the acquisition of the Alchemy School's spell specialization, which makes her [Forced Fusion] more powerful.

But to be honest, she basically doesn't need either of them anymore.

The former's spirit attribute has basically reached its limit and is difficult to improve significantly. Moreover, the [Alchemist] also provides some spirit attribute, so Fran does not need a large number of spirit attribute points to increase.

If Fran needs to better control the boundaries of Profession increases and attribute decay in the future, then Fran...

The latter is somewhat of a double-edged sword, because although [Forced Fusion] is very powerful, other School Battle Mage versions are equally powerful and not inferior to Forced Fusion.

Fran should hurry up and learn Elemental School magic, quickly advance to the second tier, and then exchange it for a second-tier spell from the Battle Mage Corps. That would probably be better than struggling with Alchemy School.

She didn't need to exude the mage's Profession from head to toe, nor did she see any benefit in it.

At the same time, she also believed that this Alchemist might be able to give her some other abilities.

"Oh right, I also need to look at those mage School I don't have Profession First Order." Fran suddenly remembered this.

There are several reasons why she doesn't currently have all the mage Profession from all School.

Firstly, in the City of Apprentices, she lacked access to the specialized knowledge of those School, making it difficult for her to meet the requirements. Therefore, although she could acquire some spells, it was not enough to meet the demands for advancement.

For example, Fran only met the promotion requirements after exchanging many books from the Contribution Point Exchange Hall for knowledge of the Elemental School.

Fran, on the other hand, had not gathered enough knowledge of the Necromancy School, finding only a few books, so she did not have the Necromancy School mage Profession.

Secondly, there are some School of magic that she didn't obtain even after crafting Spell Ring for others. These School might not even recruit students in the City of Apprentices, or they might be rarely seen...

For example, the Law School of Fran's good friend Elan was like that. This School stopped recruiting students in the City of Apprentices a long time ago. At that time, she could only inscribe Spell Ring for apprentice-level spells, so naturally she couldn't get the relevant content.

However, these things are not a problem at all in the Northern Lands Society. The knowledge that Fran needs can be freely browsed in the Mana Communication System, as long as you have the Contribution Points.

However, this content is not like the kind that a School specifically compiled, where you can simply read the few books designated by the School and consider that you have met the requirements for becoming a mage.

The content here is quite scattered, hidden within various Paper, requiring her to spend Contribution Points to search slowly...

"Take your time." Fran shut down the Mana Communication System and stood up from her chair.

These School's First Order Mage Profession can also become second-tier Profession. If Fran has a lot of time, she can grind these mage Profession to improve her attributes.

She opened the Panel to check her current attributes.

Fran's current Panel are incredibly impressive. Aside from lacking high-level Arts, many second- or third-tier Profession would never reach her current level, even if Panel died.

Although Fran's attribute growth has slowed down somewhat, the improvement in her various Arts and traits has made her even stronger than before.

Her Arts section is now filled with all sorts of Arts, a complete mess.

Mainly, she usually approaches learning with the mindset of learning whenever she has free time, and has therefore learned many Arts.

But to be honest, she only uses a few of those Arts now. The rest are only used to create Profession Arts are not really useful.

"Next, I'll get an Alchemist Profession, then go to the Battle Mage Corps to exchange for two Elemental School to practice..."

Fran decided on her next move, deciding to first develop her Alchemist Profession.

She hadn't done it before because she originally intended to complete the Battle Mage Corps ' mission while she was at it, but it took her quite a while to return to the Northern Lands Society.

Her Alchemy were insufficient to create a First Order alchemical product, let alone refine it.

She wanted to write a Paper on alchemy based on the laws of thermodynamics, which would allow her to gain a significant amount of proficiency in Alchemy and reach a level where she could create First Order alchemical artifacts.

She's already halfway through that Paper; with a little more time, she'll be able to finish it completely, and she'll surely reach a very high level of proficiency in Alchemy.
