The Promotion Method of an Official Mage

Harbos brought Fran to a small room without windows. He locked the door and cast a spell on the door to ensure that their conversation would not be heard by others, and then he said:

"First of all, I want to make it clear... You should have heard what Elan said, right? Our Forge School's current Promotion Method is not perfect yet."

Fran had some questions and said:

"Then how to perfect this Promotion Method."

Harbos put his hand on the table and said:

"Actually, before School was established, Promotion Method was public at that time, but it was extremely difficult to achieve, resulting in a small number of mages."

"Some people noticed how to reduce Formal Mage's promotion demand, but wanted to profit from it, so they created each School."

"And I was promoted through the Elemental School method, but this method cannot be used by people who are not Elemental School."

"So, you have to develop a Promotion Method based on what I said before you can be promoted to Formal Mage."

"But don't worry, this is very simple for you, it won't be difficult."

With that said, Harbos took out a piece of golden paper from under the table and handed it to Fran.

"This is the first apprentice Promotion Method. I got it after I established School."

Fran has long wanted to see how Formal Mage can be promoted. After she took the paper, she read the contents carefully.

[Ancient Formal Mage Promotion Method, you can be promoted if you meet the following three items.

1. Your Mental Power is far beyond ordinary people.

2. Create or modify a spell.

3. Prove that your spell level is higher than that of your peers.]

When Fran looked at the contents on the paper, Harbos began to explain:

"A long time ago, the first requirement blocked many people, because the Mental Power requirement is very high and difficult to achieve."

"So the number of apprentices at that time was one percent of what it is now, and the ones selected were all extremely high Mental Power. In this way, they had to take special potions to temporarily increase their Mental Power in order to meet the requirements."

"The second item is the most difficult one. It requires you to create or modify a spell. But how can an apprentice have a deep understanding of the spell?"

"So this alone is blocking the lives of many apprentices."

"The third item is actually the easiest one. It says that you must be better than your peers in spells. Maybe you will be familiar with it. Yes, it is the apprenticeship assessment."

"This must go through battle. It doesn't just work hard, it has to be demonstrated."

At the same time, a prompt also popped up for Panel of Fran.

[Profession: Mage (one star)

Introduction: A Profession who uses spells. They can release powerful spells, and they can also release spells to repair broken spells...

Completion conditions: Complete three tests.]

Fran is excited but a little worried. Finally, he has found a way to be promoted to Formal Mage. However, there are still problems that need to be overcome.

Fran suppressed his mood and continued to listen to Harbos's explanation.

"Your situation is a little different. Your Mental Power is the tallest apprentice I have ever seen. Even in ancient times, your Mental Power was very outstanding among apprentices."

"But your Mental Power is still a little short of reaching the standard. Now it may be difficult for you to improve your Mental Power."

"And that special medicine has been banned in the Alliance because of its excessive side effects, so you'd better not complete the first item."

"As long as you get a ranking in the assessment, you have a chance of completing the third item, but the probability of completing the previous one is higher."

"Every time you complete an item, you can naturally feel whether you have completed it. This is a good judgment."

Fran thought thoughtfully. Her current Mental Power was still a little short of what it was. How much was that? It wasn't like she couldn't add two more Profession to make up for Mental Power and achieve the first test.

Then if you bomb a wave of fish in the assessment, you will be able to get the third test.

Putting it this way, she is really not far away from being a mage, and she can be promoted with just a little effort.

Harbos continued:

"School's method is to retain the third item while replacing the first two items with another method, thus eliminating the difficulty of the first two items."

"I will first tell you how to replace the first item. The methods of School are different, but they are all replaced by the knowledge unique to this School."

"I can tell you that Elemental School's method is based on the characteristics of some elements that I School uniquely understand. For example, how to speed up the aggregation speed of Fire Element as quickly as possible, enhance the aggregation density of Fire Element, etc. These are some unique knowledge."

"You already have the knowledge of the mechanical part, which can be used to fill in the knowledge of our apprenticeship. Write this knowledge into a book, and you will be considered complete."

"If you don't understand anything about this, you can ask me."

Harbos is very glad that he met Fran. In his opinion, the Steam Engine made by Fran can be used as the content of the apprenticeship stage. It can be said that it directly filled the difficulty of his School's lack of knowledge in the apprenticeship stage.

And Fran thought of the Contribution Point Exchange Hall's exchange items, where a lot of knowledge can also be exchanged.

"Is that Contribution Point Exchange Hall the knowledge of each School?"

"Yes, there is some relatively basic knowledge about School there. After they have been established for a long time, they will naturally put these things away, and the knowledge you really need may not be in it."

Fran I understand, each School has been established for too long, and naturally there are more people writing books, so there will be many books that fail to cover the key points. There is no need to save School, so just put them out.

"The second item is the spell system established by each School. Generally, they will only open the truly important things to the apprentices after they get their rankings."

"The number of spells in each School's spell system is different. Some only have two spells, and some may have four spells."

Harbos paused for a while before continuing:

"You only need to create a spell based on the Steam Engine you made. The spell system of Forge School will be left to more future generations to develop."

He knew that Fran could easily create a spell based on Steam Engine, which would complete the second test without having to create a complete spell system.

But at the same time, Harbos is also very confident. He believes that after starting from zero to one, the rest will be much simpler.

"But if you don't have a complete spell system, you probably won't be able to get the relevant expertise when you are promoted to Formal Mage."

"This expertise is the key to learning higher-level spells and getting promoted. Of course, you don't have high-level spells at the moment, so it doesn't matter whether you get this expertise or not."

Fran was thoughtful after listening to these contents.

As a person who owns Panel, she still wants to establish a spell system, so that she might be able to obtain the characteristics of Panel.

Besides, don't I have the knowledge of the earth as inspiration? Am I still afraid that I won't be able to create a spell?
