Summon Fire Elementals, Jaina's Shock

The appearance of the enormous magic scroll also drew the attention of the paladins and Uther. Everyone wore curious expressions, wondering what Rod was doing. Only Uther waved a hand, signaling everyone to stay quiet.

That kid Rod had probably brought out some Titan-level magical creation again.

Jaina trembled as she accepted the enormous magic scroll, then slowly unrolled it. Inside was an image of a magic lamp, from which a fiery red elemental being drifted out.

There were no complex magical runes, no incantations, not even the slightest arcane fluctuation—just a simple picture.

This left Jaina somewhat speechless. What kind of magic scroll was this?

"Rod, I don't understand. There isn't any spell written here, only a picture. Are you sure I can cast magic just by holding it?" the female mage asked Rod with a puzzled look.

"Yes, Jaina. As long as you hold it, you can cast the magic recorded on it: Summon Fire Elemental. Try concentrating and sensing the magic contained within the scroll, then guide it. The target is... the open ground in front of us." Rod nodded.

The female mage nodded skeptically, put away the enormous scroll, and began communicating with it.

The instant she made contact with the magic scroll in her mind, Jaina felt an indescribably profound mystery flow into her head. For no apparent reason, she had learned a spell to summon Fire Elementals.

There was no logic to it at all. She had simply learned it in such an absurd manner! She did not understand the principles behind this magic.

She had no idea how it operated and knew none of its incantations, yet strangely, she could use it.

A piece of information even automatically appeared in her mind: this spell could summon powerful Fire Elemental creatures, which could remain for one day.

During that time, they would unconditionally obey any command from their summoner, and they could be summoned in groups rather than individually.

The number of Fire Elementals this spell could summon depended on the user's magical power. The stronger the mana and the more proficient the mage was in fire magic, the more Fire Elementals they could summon.

"How does it feel, Jaina?" Rod asked the female mage, who had fallen into deep thought.

Uther also walked over with a curious expression and looked at Rod questioningly. Rod immediately gave him a brief explanation of what had happened.

After learning the whole story, Uther was equally shocked. He had not expected the Guardians to be watching them, much less that they would reward Rod with a magic scroll.

"It feels very strange. I can't describe this special spell in words. Or rather, it has no incantation at all. I can use it, but I don't understand it in the slightest." Jaina looked helpless.

That was not a good thing for a mage.

"Then let's give it a try! Jaina, see how many Fire Elementals you can summon. With these elemental creatures helping us, we can carry out our mission more effectively," Rod said.

"All right, I'll try." Jaina nodded and waved her staff.

There were no dazzling special effects, nor did any strange magic runes appear. After a flash of red light, ten humanoid creatures three meters tall and wreathed in flame appeared before them, radiating a wave of scorching heat.

These Fire Elementals were entirely different from the Fire Elementals of Azeroth. They floated before the group, their feet a few dozen centimeters above the ground. They could rise at most one meter into the air, but it was basically useless—flying one meter high was no different from not flying at all.

Rod shook his head helplessly. Just like in the game, they had the visual effect of flight but no actual ability to fly. Only upgraded Inferno Elementals could fly, or rather, teleport. (In fact, translating them as Lightning Elementals would be more accurate.)

"Th-this is a Fire Elemental? How amazing."

"That's incredible. Did Mage Jaina summon them?"

"Indeed, that's impressive. Jaina, can you control these elemental creatures? How much mana did it consume?" Rod turned to the female mage and asked.

She had summoned ten Fire Elementals, four more than he could. That meant that, according to Heroes of Might and Magic III calculations, her power should be five.

"Whew! I used about one-third of my mana. I'm so tired!" the female mage said, panting with both hands braced on her knees.

"This magic is incredible. I can't even bring out its true potential. In theory, as long as your mana is strong enough, you could summon hundreds of these creatures.

"These ten Fire Elementals will completely obey my commands and can fight alongside us for an entire day.

"If a stronger fire mage used this scroll to cast the spell, its power would definitely surpass mine," Jaina said.

As expected of Titan magical technology! The profundity of this magical creation far exceeded her imagination. It was simply beyond anything she could understand at her current level.

Even her teacher, Antonidas, likely would not be able to fully decipher this magic. Like her, her mentor was a mage skilled in frost and arcane magic.

Jaina believed that if anyone in this world could decipher this powerful fire magic, there was only one person.

The strongest fire mage in Azeroth today: Kael'thas, Prince of Quel'Thalas.

The High Elf prince would definitely be extremely interested in this spell. He himself had a phoenix summoned from the Fire Elemental Plane.

"Child, this is already quite good. These ten Fire Elementals are not much weaker than the Water Elementals you summon.

"For our next operation, we can have these Fire Elementals take the lead. Fire Elementals can also inflict considerable damage on the shadow creatures here," Uther said, resting the Silver Hand Warhammer on his shoulder.

Though their effects were not as good as Holy Light magic, fire elemental power could still inflict terrifying damage on shadow creatures. That kid Rod really knew how to surprise him.

"Rod, you have to come with me to Dalaran. You have no idea what this miraculous Titan magical creation represents," Jaina said solemnly as she returned the magic scroll to Rod.

The moment she lost the magic scroll, she immediately forgot the spell's casting principles and could no longer use it.

If this magic could be deciphered, if the mages of Azeroth could learn it, its significance would be immense.

That was because these Fire Elemental creatures were not summoned from the Fire Elemental Plane. They were purely condensed from the caster's mana.

They possessed no intelligence at all and acted entirely according to the caster's will.

This summoning magic was simply extraordinary!
