Teaching, the Magical Spellbook Copying Function

"Lady Jaina, there's something I'd like to ask you. Do you know the mage skill Arcane Intellect?" Rod asked.

"Oh! Arcane Intellect! I can use that spell." Jaina came over, sat beside Rod, and nodded.

Strange! Why was he asking about Arcane Intellect? Could it be that he did not know it? It was one of a mage's basic skills.

"Then what effect does Arcane Intellect have? Lady Jaina, can you cast it on someone else?" Rod asked.

"Arcane Intellect is an enlightening spell. Generally, when mages encounter a problem they need to solve, they can cast it on themselves!

"It can make their thoughts more agile and intelligent, improve their memory, and even allow them to understand knowledge they completely did not comprehend before," Jaina said.

"Then can it increase one's mana limit? For example, when fighting someone? Using this skill in advance to gain more mana," Rod asked.

"??? Increase one's mana limit! Mr. Rod, where did you hear such a rumor? Arcane Intellect is only an enlightening spell.

"It makes a mage's thoughts more agile. It helps us with magical research, but there has never been any claim that it can increase one's mana limit!" Jaina said.

What a joke. Increasing a mage's mana limit? Wouldn't that be the same as increasing their mana itself?

The legendary Guardians were war weapons created by Dalaran with immense mana. The Dalaran Citadel did indeed possess such technology, but it could only artificially create a single Guardian.

Arcane Intellect could not increase a mage's mana limit. Why had Mr. Rod come up with such an idea?

Rod was slightly disappointed upon hearing that. All right! It seemed that skills in the game really were different from those in reality.

"If you need to conduct some spell research, Mr. Rod, I can teach you this spell directly. You can cast it on yourself in the future," Jaina said.

At that moment, a system notification sounded in Rod's mind.

During your journey, you encountered a young female mage. You had a pleasant conversation with her, and she intends to teach you a special spell. Would you like to use your spellbook to copy it down?

Holy shit! That was possible too?

Without another word, Rod nodded in agreement. A red spellbook suddenly appeared in his hand.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Lady Jaina. Please tell me how to cast Arcane Intellect! I'll record it," Rod said with a nod.

Jaina showed no surprise at the spellbook suddenly appearing in Rod's hand. Mages all had some spatial magic bags. For example, her travel bag looked very small, but the space inside was huge and could hold many things.

Next, Jaina began explaining Arcane Intellect's method of use in detail, then told Rod the incantation.

In truth, the principle of spellcasting in Azeroth was to connect one's mind to Azeroth's ley lines, then cast spells through mathematical calculations.

But Rod, who possessed a spellbook, could learn magic in a simple and crude way. He could use a spell directly after copying it into the spellbook.

After a period of in-depth exchange, you successfully copied the Arcane Intellect spell. Consumes 1 mana point to cast Arcane Intellect on yourself!

For the next day, gain an additional 5 points of maximum mana. This spell can only be used once per day. This is a basic water spell and can receive water spell bonuses.

Basic water spells can be used twice per day. Intermediate water spells can increase maximum mana by 10 points. Advanced water spells can be used three times per day and increase maximum mana by 20 points.

This skill was incredibly useful! Trading one point of mana for five points of mana was absolutely a guaranteed profit.

Most importantly, it could also receive water spell bonuses. Then Frostbolt should also be able to receive water spell bonuses, right? Even Flash of Light.

Rod checked, and sure enough, it was as he had expected. Frostbolt could also receive water spell bonuses. Basic water magic could increase Frostbolt's number of casts to fifteen with one point of mana.

Intermediate water magic could increase Frostbolt's damage by 25%, while advanced water magic could increase its damage by 50%. One point of mana could also cast Frostbolt twenty times.

As for Flash of Light, it could be enhanced by air magic. The basic level increased its healing effect and its damage against demons and undead by 15%.

Intermediate Flash of Light increased it by 30%, while advanced air magic increased its power by 50%.

If his spellbook could copy Arcane Intellect, then as long as members of other professions were willing to teach him, could he copy their abilities into the spellbook as well?

That was amazing. Wasn't it even better than Eagle Eye?

"That is the casting principle behind Arcane Intellect. Mr. Rod, if there's anything you don't understand, you can tell me," Jaina said.

"Thank you for your instruction, Miss Jaina. I've already learned this spell," Rod said.

"You're welcome. I'm glad I could help you. Wait, Mr. Rod, did you say you've already learned it?" The female mage suddenly widened her eyes and stared at Rod in disbelief.

Rod smiled and nodded. Then he spent one point of mana to cast Arcane Intellect on himself. His maximum mana increased by 5 points, and Rod now had 18 points of mana.

Seeing Rod successfully cast Arcane Intellect for real, Jaina felt as though it was unreal.

Was this for real?

He had learned the spell after hearing her explain it only once. Was learning spells that easy for him?

Her talent was already quite good; she was considered a rare genius. Yet when she had learned Arcane Intellect, it had taken her several days to understand it and several more days before she could cast it successfully.

This was really discouraging! Damn it, could this guy have already known the spell before?

"..." The female mage fell silent, clearly a little demoralized. This was too much of a blow.

"Jaina, what are you and Lord Rod discussing? We're about to set off." Arthas walked over with a smile.

Seeing the woman he loved being so intimate with another man left Arthas feeling somewhat uncomfortable, but he maintained a polite smile.

"Arthas, Mr. Rod and I were discussing the study of some magic." Jaina smiled and told Arthas what had happened.

Rod's eyes immediately lit up when he saw Arthas. Wasn't his Blessing of Wisdom coming right to him?

He needed to make sure he got a good haul from Dad-Seller Jaina and that filial son's skills.
