The Weapon Is Forged, and an Unexpected Incident
After Fran used Radiance once, she has not finished her operation of forging weapons.
Fran first put on a set of inscriptions that could slightly enhance the power of spells, assisting Channeling Spell, and engraved them next to the lines that strengthened the magic.
As a disciple of Harbos, the first lesson she took from Harbos was how to make high-level staffs, so she naturally knew how to operate them.
Although you can carve these inscriptions on the staff and install some Gem that strengthen the spells, this is what every Artisan can do.
But as Harbos is a master in this field, what he explained to Fran was naturally not these relatively basic things, but how to use and process materials to optimize the performance of the staff.
With the blessing of the extraordinary Foundry Studies, Fran easily carved these inscriptions, turning this Dragon Bone stick into a very standard high-level staff. Even Harbos probably can't find any faults here.
"If I don't have a suitable Gem on hand, I might as well not install it. I'll install it later when I need to use another weapon."
Fran touched his head, relaxed himself a little, and then took a deep breath.
"The main event comes next."
Weapons are something that everyone on the mainland has in their hands. There are many ways to choose materials for making weapons, not to mention how to strengthen weapons.
A very common method for weapons at low levels is to engrave runes on them. Such runes have a very powerful bonus to weapons at low levels.
But this kind of rune weapon was fine when it was First Order, and it was something that everyone could use. However, when it reached the second level, the bonus effects of the runes were somewhat behind it.
Fran guessed that this was because of the chronology of Ancient Rune. The Ancient Rune that she had inscribed now could not be regarded as the limit of these Ancient Rune. She even felt that the limit of Ancient Rune was above the second level.
However, due to various reasons, such as Fran not seeing the full picture of Deity and not having suitable materials to carry this rune, Fran did not have the very powerful Ancient Rune weapon.
She took out the Purple Shortsword she had made, with the runes of Goddess of Ocean Currents on it. Fran could feel that if she found a suitable material, then this Ancient Rune weapon could reach the third level.
"But it's not so easy to find third-level materials, let alone finding the right ones..." Fran smiled and put the matter aside.
The perspective returns to the aspect of strengthening weapons. Since the runes on high-end weapons are almost as if they are not engraved at all, people in this world will naturally find ways to strengthen weapons.
Among them are using some additional high-level materials to attach to the weapon, or using some runes that can hold special materials...
For example, at the second level, you can use Dragon Blood as a temporary means to strengthen weapons. Different Dragon Blood can produce different effects. There is also a rune that can solidify the effect of Dragon Blood for a long time and so on...
Even when the level is higher, those Profession ers have more "fancy work", and many abilities can only be used through certain weapons or certain materials.
Among them, there are many general strengthening methods. [Rite of Weapon Forging] created by Harbos himself is such a general weapon strengthening method.
The condition for its use is to use this spell on a new weapon when it has just been forged. With certain materials, the weapon can be directly strengthened.
Of course, this kind of enhancement also has a rationale. This spell uses the mage's own Mental Power to strengthen the weapon.
And this weapon also has special effects, which is related to Elemental School where Harbos was at that time.
This special effect is that when the releaser has an affinity for a certain element, the weapon will turn into a form similar to an elemental weapon. The user can activate the elements on the weapon through Mental Power during combat.
The only shortcoming of this spell is that when designing Harbos, although the inscriptions for mages to enhance spell guidance and the smoothness of warriors wielding weapons were taken into consideration, it was even partially compatible with the patterns on the Sect weapons.
But it is not compatible with the most common way to strengthen weapons on this continent - runes.
In other words, if Fran uses this spell to strengthen the weapon, then the runes cannot be engraved on it. She doesn't know why Harbos didn't consider the runes when designing this spell.
In Fran's view, the runes are actually compatible with this spell, but I don't know why Harbos is not compatible with the runes.
Then we have to wait until Fran has mastered the proficiency of this spell. She may be able to add rune compatibility to this spell, but that is definitely not something that can be solved now.
Fran thought about it and finally decided to use the spell [Rite of Weapon Forging] taught to her by Harbos.
She stretched her hand to a position about 30 centimeters away from the Dragon Bone stick in the air, and then started to guide [Rite of Weapon Forging] in the palm of her hand.
It has to be said that Fran still has some difficulties in using this spell that can strengthen weapons. After several failed attempts, Fran finally released this spell.
I saw a white light emitting from the palm of Fran's hand, and then turned into color in an instant. Then this light was attached to the big stick of Dragon Bone, turning the entire weapon into white.
In the process of releasing the spell, Fran felt that his Mental Power were constantly being consumed and these Mental Power were constantly transforming the weapon.
The entire spell release process took about twenty minutes. In the end, Fran felt that he had consumed half of Mental Power, and then he completed the spell.
The light on the weapon dissipated, and what Fran saw was a gray bone stick. Perhaps Fran's subconscious was at work, and Fran realized that this stick was very much like the baseball bat she had in her previous life.
On this 'baseball bat', Fran can see golden patterns extending downward from the upper end of the stick, and then interlaced with inscriptions that enhance spell guidance a quarter of the way down.
The inscription starts from the middle, with about six starting points, slightly more than a quarter of the way up, and its tail end disappears not far above the golden pattern.
Fran touched the 'baseball bat' slightly, then held it vertically with his right hand and waved the weapon gently with his arm.
"This weight is a bit light, but it is more suitable for my current strength."
Fran held it with both hands and swung it vigorously into the air. Wherever the bat swept, there was a muffled explosion, which slightly heated up the surrounding air.
"It's really good!" Fran is very satisfied with the effect of this weapon.
She felt that just using this weapon as a melee weapon could be regarded as a very good second-level weapon.
Then, Fran tested some of the functions she really wanted the weapon to have.
She held this weapon to release spells and divine spells, and the increase in effect was almost as she expected, which made her even more satisfied.
But then, Fran encountered a very strange thing, that is, after using [Rite of Weapon Forging], she really felt that this weapon should have an additional triggering effect.
That is to give this weapon similar properties to elemental weapons. As long as Fran injects Mental Power into this weapon, elements will gather on it.
"How could this happen?!" Fran did cause the surrounding elements to gather after injecting Mental Power, but there was something wrong with the gathered elements.
Fran looked at the electric arc flashing on the baseball bat and listened to the "thunderbolt" sound of lightning hitting the air, and his mind was filled with confusion.
"I have no affinity for electrical elements?! Why does this element appear?"
Fran looked back at the silver paper that Harbos had given her to record the spells. After examining it carefully, she discovered...
"It seems that the above does not say that if you have that kind of elemental affinity, that element will appear on the weapon. It only says that a mage with elemental affinity may have characteristics similar to elemental weapons after being released."
After carefully reading the above description, Fran finally understood that the elemental weapons originally given were random, and weapons of different elements would not appear based on what elements you have.
"Forget it, this is still acceptable."
Fran After thinking about it for a while, he could only accept this fact.
After sighing, Fran began to pack up the surrounding materials, but when she had just cleaned the used bottles, she heard a knock on the door.
At this time, Fran saw through the light under the door that it was already daytime.
"I've been working all night." Fran thought to himself, then walked to the door and asked.
"Who?"
There was silence outside the door, and then the voice of Dylan came.
"It's me, Dylan."
Fran opened the door and saw Dylan's mouth wide open and his eyes widened, as if he had encountered something shocking.
"Is there something on my face?" Fran saw Dylan looking at her face, so she asked.
"It's nothing, maybe I heard it wrong." Dylan said slowly.
Only then did Fran realize that there was still something wrong with her voice. Maybe it was because the voice Dylan heard just now was different from her original voice, but after thinking about it carefully, she couldn't feel any difference.
After all, the timbre of her voice has not changed, what has changed is that her voice has gained a little strength.
Dylan blinked, fumbled in his pocket, relieved his mood, and then continued:
"Society President has something to do with you. It's a very important thing. I originally wanted to use the remote Communication Device to notify you about what happened this morning, but you never responded. It wasn't until just now that I discovered the record of your return here."
Fran asked curiously:
"What is it?"
"It seems to be something over there at Alchemy School. Maybe you won the prize for your last achievement."
Dylan's voice was filled with a hint of envy.
