Wizard magic fell into many categories.
There was defensive magic for protection, as well as magic meant for attacking.
There was also dark magic with cruel effects, and mind magic capable of controlling minds.
Beyond these varieties, there was ancient magic.
Outside wizard magic, there were the sorcerers' system at Kamar-Taj and the system of Asgard.
There were even different systems beyond this world.
These countless forms of magic went by all sorts of names.
But at their core, they were all magic.
Anyone who reached the pinnacle in one field could quickly master magic from another system through their own knowledge.
John was just such a person, which was why he could quickly learn Asgardian magic and Kamar-Taj's magic.
Of the two kinds of blood he had collected from vampire territory, the effects of the magic-sealing blood far exceeded his expectations.
Whether it was Asgardian magic, Kamar-Taj's magic, or wizard magic.
None of these forms of magic could alter the blood.
"Magic sealing."
John poured the blood into a crystal container.
As he watched the blood gradually seep into the crystal and turn it red, John grasped it.
"A kind of curse that wears away magic." He narrowed his eyes thoughtfully.
John had also dabbled in the field of magic sealing.
At its core, what people called magic sealing was the expulsion of magical power.
He had once forged a sword with magic-breaking power.
It could cut through magic.
That had been one of his finest creations, costing the Wizard King an enormous amount of effort.
Yet this single drop of blood accomplished something only the Wizard King could do.
The blood contained a higher power that expelled magic.
And wizard magic was a form of rules.
That meant this blood possessed the power to alter those rules.
