Experimental Spells

Fran twisted her neck, stepped out of the Base Camp, and casually unleashed a [Howling Gale] spell, which struck a large rock by the roadside.

The sharp airflow cut through the stone, leaving several straight, deep cracks.

This is the effect of [Howling Gale] itself; Fran did not use any enhancement methods, relying solely on her own hands and Mental Power to channel it.

She didn't input too much Mental Power, so it fully demonstrated the power of a normal First Order spell.

She briefly examined the effect of the spell she was casting, memorized it, and then began experimenting again.

This time she used Elemental Conversion, an advanced technique from the Elemental School.

She Elemental Conversion into the Wind Element, and the once Coolness and sharp airflow now carried a scorching heat.

At the same time, as Fran Channeling Spell, air currents began to spread across the land around her, and several cracks appeared in the ground.

This would have been almost impossible in the past, because Fran did an exceptionally good job of gathering the Wind Element; she had condensed all the Wind Element together.

Only inexperienced mages will experience this when they have just learned this First Order spell.

Their Wind Element are poorly controlled, so they dissipate around them. Of course, unlike Fran's, whose poorly controlled wind elementals only scratch the ground, their poorly controlled Wind Element can even attack the mage himself.

A restrained Wind Element would naturally be more effective, but Fran's current situation is not one of poor restraint.

The Wind Element, which is derived from the Elemental Conversion, inherits two characteristics: stagnation and spread.

As she gathered the Wind Element, some of it remained on the ground, and this portion of the Wind Element that landed on the ground began to spread like flames.

Although Fran had already witnessed all sorts of amazing effects in the Magic World, she still couldn't help but be amazed when she saw this scene.

According to Fran's understanding, after casting a spell using Wind Element Elemental Conversion, the enemy hit by the spell will be entangled by Wind Element.

Every short interval, the Wind Element surrounding you will deal damage to enemies.

However, this thing that resembles the properties of the Fire Element does not have the characteristic of the Fire Element that the flame will go out when the temperature drops.

The Wind Element clinging to the body will not disappear due to conditions specific to Fire Element, such as a drop in temperature. Without a special countermeasure, the Wind Element will only dissipate after a period of time.

Fran released the special version of [Howling Gale] in her hand. The airflow was much more dispersed than Fran had expected and did not concentrate.

This results in countless traces being left on the ground as the airflow rapidly flies over the target boulder, with new scratches appearing on the road surface every now and then.

The airflow quickly swirled around the large rock, creating a network of straight cracks. In Fran's elemental perception, those unique Wind Element gathered on the large rock.

However, since these unique Wind Element were ultimately created by Fran using her Mental Power, Wind Element began to dissipate after being separated from Fran's Mental Power support.

Fran seized the opportunity and immediately channeled her Mental Power into the spell model that appeared in her mind, releasing the spell.

[Elemental Regression].

Fran focused her attention on those unusual Wind Element Wind Element, which seemed to have been stimulated by some external force, and their previously somewhat dissipated state instantly became more intense.

"Um?"

Before the transformation occurred, Fran saw the changes caused by the Wind Element; they began to cling tightly to the large rock, leaving no gaps.

Fran's hands did not stop for a moment; she continued to Elemental Regression to their original form— Fire Element.

The power of this newly acquired second-tier spell somewhat exceeded Fran's expectations. She watched as the Wind Element suddenly crossed the singularity of shape change.

In an instant, a burst of light and heat erupted, and in another instant, these Fire Element vanished, leaving Fran barely perceptible.

All she knew was that the release of the spell made her eyes slightly uncomfortable, and she blinked unconsciously.

The large rock had long since disappeared, leaving only a small, perfectly charred, Shallow Pit.

The shallow black Shallow Pit was perfectly uniform; at least according to Fran's current Mental Power probing, she could not see any flaws.

However, this flaw soon became apparent. Fran stepped forward and sank into the scorched, shallow Shallow Pit. She frowned and lifted her boot, discovering a new layer of scorch marks beneath it.

"The temperature of this soil hasn't dropped."

Fran quickly assessed the effects of the newly acquired spell in her mind; it would be a lie to say she was dissatisfied with its effects.

Judging from the power currently displayed before Fran, this method of restoring transformed elements to their original state is definitely more powerful than the Dragon Flame in Fran's hands.

It was even stronger than the second-tier elemental spells that Fran knew. If Fran were to unleash this powerful spell, even those Second Order Demonic Beast known for their defense would be reduced to ashes by this one move.

This is even higher than the single-hit damage of Sunflame. While some Second Order Profession User ' physical bodies could still withstand Sunflame's attacks, such magical attacks are almost unstoppable once they reach the attack range.

Moreover, it is somewhat more useful than Sunflame in some respects, since even if Fran were to become a true Sunflame Knight, she would still find it difficult to launch ranged attacks from more than ten meters away.

The Sunflame on her body is difficult to remove, or rather, it weakens considerably the moment it leaves. And this thing only requires wrapping Wind Element around the opponent to unleash [Elemental Regression]...

Even at this point, Fran's heart wasn't filled with satisfaction or a sense of accomplishment from testing the spell; instead, her mind was racing, filled with thoughts of other uses for the spell.

If this effect is achieved with just one simple conversion and then a reversal, what if I convert twice and then revert to the original state?

Elemental Conversion is an advanced technique, and its advanced nature lies in the fact that it does not limit elements to being transformed only once.

Of course, Fran can only transform twice now, which is due to the combination of her Mental Power and the mastery of the three elements given to her by the Elite Mage.

Her Mental Power was fundamental, and after advancing through the path of Elite Mage, Fran's mastery of the three elements of fire, wind, and earth greatly increased.

This is an improvement brought about by Order, which is generally difficult to replicate.

She acted immediately, starting with the Earth Element.

Looking at the thick soil beneath her feet, she first used [Elemental Radiance] to activate it, and the surrounding earth trembled slightly for a moment.

Under her guidance, the Earth Element transformed into the Fire Element, and flames suddenly erupted from the earth, as if nailed to the ground, showing no sign of dissipating, and the land began to turn red.

Then Fran gritted her teeth, focused a small portion of her Mental Power, and the Fire Element on the ground vanished, scattering into the air and rising with the wind.

For a First Order Mage, transforming once is achievable with a certain amount of Mental Power and continuous practice.

However, these two transformations test the mage's Mental Power strength and mastery of the skill of Elemental Conversion.

A normal second-tier Elemental School mage, if lacking any one of the above points, may not be able to truly perform two Elemental Conversion.

Fran used [Howling Gale] again, and a stream of air carrying red light rushed forward in an instant.

This time, Fran couldn't find a good target for the time being, so she could only choose a dead tree a little further away.

The dead tree was snapped in two by the wind the instant the airflow passed, which was exactly what Fran had expected. After all, Fran could easily take care of such a target with a simple Wind Blade.

But this time, she wasn't there to deal with the dead tree; she was there to test the power of her spell.

As the fierce wind entangled the withered tree trunk, threatening to fall, Fran intervened.

[Elemental Regression].

This time, Fran increased the intensity of her perception. Last time, she hadn't expected the changes to happen so quickly and hadn't observed anything at all.

In Fran's perception, half of her Mental Power was consumed. She first compressed the entangled Wind Element and pressed them onto the tree trunk, which suddenly burst forth with light and heat.

But then, the intense light and heat transformed into Earth Element, and at that moment, Fran thought of her other spell, [Earth Uplift].

The activation of Earth Element has always been a skill that must be mastered in the study of Earth Element magic, as a mage once asserted.

"After casting an Earth Element spell, casting a new Earth Element spell will make the new spell 30% more powerful than the old one."

A Second Order Mage once explored the upper limit of enhancing Earth Element activation by continuously casting spells, which is approximately 300% of the original spell power.

If the Earth Element Elemental Conversion, the activation level is approximately 200%. Therefore, this Elemental Conversion technique is essential for mages casting Earth Element spells.

The Earth Element in front of Fran was estimated to be over 400% active, and Fran had also cast [Elemental Radiance] once at the beginning, which would greatly enhance the power of elemental spells.

A huge crack appeared to Fran's right, and the land within a hundred meters seemed to scream as it was squeezed. The rumbling sound filled Fran's ears.

The sound lasted for five minutes before slowly subsiding, while Fran remained standing in the same spot, watching as a twenty-meter-high pillar of earth rose from where the dead tree had once stood, the particles of mud and sand almost completely crushed and mixed together.

Fran felt the Aether accelerating her Mental Power recovery, like rain in the desert, which soothed her face slightly.

Looking at the scene before her, some new ideas popped into her mind, such as how to control the Water Element and begin the third transformation, but her current Mental Power clearly did not support her continuing the experiment.

"Not bad."
