    Chapter 124 Rights of Official Members, Arcane Focus and Spell Pool

    The next day after returning to Fubo Castle, Isabel and her party set out for Solens City.  If the girl was alone, she wouldn't have to rush on her way in such a hurry, but with so many subordinates slowing down her speed, she had to leave early to make it to Sebastian's promotion ceremony next week.

    Furthermore, Isabel needs to purchase a complete set of distillation equipment as soon as possible to catch up with the end of the initial fermentation period, but this huge amount of money is not something that a wealthy lady like her can easily handle.  The large amount of goods seized from the monster lair were loaded on two-wheeled carriages and prepared to be transported to the city and then taken action.  Thinking about it, the selling price can not only buy what you need, but also leave a lot of balance.

    Anyone who knows something knows that alchemy itself is a money-burning business.  Even a simple alchemy set carried with you¡ªa set of basic tools such as an alcohol lamp, a flask, and a measuring cup¡ªis worth hundreds of gold coins, let alone large tools.  Although it doesn¡¯t mean that you can¡¯t make do with a simple copper still, but the newly appointed brandy master put it well, ¡°Since we plan to position this wine as a fine product for the upper class to enjoy, it is best not to worry about the quality of the wine.  It¡¯s a good idea to save a little money on key tools.¡±

    Although hundreds of gold coins cannot be considered "little money" in any way, Isabel still believes in the truth behind this statement.

    Not to mention how the young female lord¡¯s convoy spent the boring time on the journey, on the other side, Sebastian, who was about to become an official magician, lived a very fulfilling life during this period.

    Although the celebration ceremony has not yet been held, the records inside the Archmage Tower have already been updated in time.  Many permissions that were not completely open to the apprentices were unlocked one by one. Sebastian, who suddenly felt much freer, almost felt his body lightening up a bit as he stepped on the floating saucer.  Even if he puts aside the professional areas such as the binding room, sealing room, and magic item manufacturing room that he does not need to use yet, he is very satisfied with the fact that the books that can be borrowed in the public library have become more abundant.  .

    The power of a mage comes from spiritual power and knowledge. Sebastian does not lack the former, but the latter is not too much for him.  Although he can forcibly calculate the differences in the rules of the two worlds with the help of his own abilities and the help of the spiritual crystal servants, this is undoubtedly an extremely huge project. Without a large amount of known information as a standard comparison, he will just close the door.  Even if we calculate it for hundreds or even thousands of years, we may not be able to complete it just in case.

    Relying on the structure of the second-level spell to deduce the third-level spell is like using a flat oil painting to sculpt a three-dimensional stone statue. It is difficult to create a high-quality work.  It is for this reason that Sebastian had to join the Archmage Tower to shorten this time-consuming process as much as possible.  Because it would be much simpler as long as you first learn even one third-level spell through normal methods, and then calculate the rest of the same-level spells.  As long as resources allow, learning a spell within the scope of his abilities is really not difficult for Sebastian, who is almost a darling of magic.

    Not only that, the most critical right gained after being promoted to a formal member, and the most attractive right for magicians to join the Archmage Tower, will soon be open to him.  None other than access to the mysterious spell pool that every arcane spellcaster in Dravel covets.

    In fact, most magicians don¡¯t know much about the principles on which the spell pool of the Archmage Tower operates.  Some people speculate that this is the effect of some ancient magic; some people think that this is a powerful function of the tower building itself; and some people feel that the existence of the magic pool itself is similar to a god who bestows divine magic.  In any case, these rumors that are difficult to tell whether they are true or false do not affect any official member's ability to use the spell pool without any obstacles.

    Before using the spell pool, the master of the tower will personally enchant a personal item of the magician to turn it into a special magic item.  This magic item is called a "focus" and has no additional abilities other than allowing its owner, and only its owner, to access the spell pool.  Of course, if the magician wishes, there is no harm in following the procedure for creating magic items to enchant them later.  If a magician loses or damages his focus, there is no other way to connect to the spell pool without spending money to get a replacement.

    As long as you have this arcane focus, no matter how far the distance is, once a day, when needed, the magician can summon the spells he needs from the spell pool of the Archmage Tower, even those he has not yet mastered.  In other words, a magician can summon any spell stored in the spell pool, even if all his knowledge of a spell is limited to the spell name.

    There are many reasons why magic is powerful, one of which is its applicability.  No matter what you want to do, the magician can always find the right spell to help you.  Therefore, this ability is particularly valuable when non-immortal humans lack enough time to learn all known spells.

    Think about it, when you are flying high in the sky, but your opponent accidentally removes the flying skill, wouldn't you pray that you have time to use a "feather fall skill" on the way down?

    When you are forcibly dragged underwater by a deep-sea squid, who doesn't want to be able to complete "underwater breathing" before suffocating?

    When you face powerful undead creatures in a gloomy dungeon, who doesn't want to be able to cast an "Immortal Return"?

    Of course, when it is actually used, this ability cannot be as good as the promotional slogan of the Archmage Tower.

    First and most importantly, the level of spells summoned by the magician cannot exceed the level that he can use independently.  In other words, if the highest-level spell a certain magician can use is a third-level spell, then he can summon all third-level spells contained in the spell pool of the Archmage Tower - if it is a specific spell, the Archmage Tower  Naturally, it cannot be summoned before it has time to collect it, and it is impossible to summon any fourth-level spell.

    Secondly, communicating with the spell pool requires considerable concentration and several seconds. If used directly in a fierce battle, it may cause certain dangers.  And once the summoning is completed, the magician must release the summoned spell within a short period of time-usually within a few minutes.  Otherwise, the spell will disappear naturally when the time is up, and this ability will be considered by the spell pool as having been used that day.  Once used, the magician must return the same amount of arcane energy to the spell pool within a period of time. If the spell is delayed for a long time, the guy without credibility will never have the chance to summon it again.

    Finally, the summoned magical energy appears in an indescribable way.  Magicians can use it, but they cannot learn it or record it.  In other words, the magician can rely on this ability to cast any spell within his ability, even if he does not know it at all, but this ability does not allow him to see the principle and structure of the spell itself, and the summoned spell cannot be stored in  Store spells in items such as scrolls for later learning.

    Despite all the limitations, in any case, more spells mean a wider range of choices and more possibilities, which is crucial even for mages, not to mention those who can only rely on their blood to luck.  A warlock who has realized magic.  Even if mastering this skill requires them to spend a lot of time and energy, after all, the wizard's spells and the warlock's spells are two completely different systems. The only thing in common may be the effect when they are cast, and there are still a large number of them.  Warlocks flock to it.

    It is no exaggeration to say that if the Archmage Tower does not open this spell pool technology, it is hard for the mages to say, and most of the already small batch of warlocks will probably withdraw directly.

    ?As defined by the law of equivalent exchange in alchemy, the acquisition of rights must be accompanied by the payment of obligations.  Becoming a formal member of the Archmage Tower also means that the magician must contribute his or her own strength to the Archmage Tower.  Just like other professional guilds that collect membership fees on a regular basis, every official member must provide a certain amount of arcane energy to the Archmage Tower on time.

    The unit of calculation for arcane energy is energy level, referred to as energy level.  A magician's delivery of a standard first-level spell through "focus" represents a level of arcane energy.  The structure of advanced spells is more complex and contains more energy, but it is by no means a simple addition and subtraction.  For example, a standard fifth-level spell has up to forty-five levels of arcane power, rather than five levels.  Regarding this point, the Archmage Tower has a complicated calculation method, and most members are too lazy to worry about it.

    But generally speaking, unless the situation is urgent, very few magicians will use high-level spell slots to pay arrears.  Because for a magician who is already able to use third-level spells, missing one first-level spell slot every day will not have a significant impact on his adventure journey, but if he loses one third-level spell slot, then when he encounters a strong enemy  , the results are likely to be fatal.

    Just like skyscrapers in the technological plane consume a lot of electrical energy all the time, the existence of the Archmage Tower itself also requires extremely rich energy to support.  This is arcane energy, a pure energy said to originate from the birth of the world.

    Various functions designed during the construction of the Archmage Tower, such as space expansion and folding technology, arcane garden independent ecosystem, elemental energy strengthening area, long-distance portal, tower reinforced protection, alarm system and defense system, spell traps and  Summoning guards, etc., requires a large amount of arcane energy to maintain, not to mention maintaining the existence of the most important spell pool itself.It is the biggest factor in energy consumption.

    Precisely because magicians are fully aware of this, they will charge their energy honestly and rarely default on it.  Nothing else, because they themselves also need to use these functions of the Archmage Tower frequently.  Moreover, if you are expelled from the Archmage Tower because you have been in arrears with your membership fees for a long time, it will be a bit of a loss.

    In addition to paying dues, pure arcane energy is also used as currency in the Archmage Tower, replacing secular gold and silver most of the time.  Powerful magicians are usually not short of money, which is just one aspect. More often than not, most of the items a magician needs are priceless, and it is really difficult to purchase them with specific real money.

    For example, the smallest dimensional bag that Sebastian purchased from the internal market area of ??the Archmage Tower earlier had a volume of less than one cubic meter and sold for as much as 25,000 gold coins.  If it were bigger, the price would go up further.  Even wealthy nobles would find it difficult to mobilize such a large amount of cash immediately, let alone carry it with them.  You know, even if they were all gold coins, twenty-five thousand coins would weigh half a ton.

    Thanks to the existence of the spell pool and focus, magicians can conveniently use the energy levels stored in their respective accounts to conduct transactions directly, just like merchants exchanging IOUs from a bank, and there is no need to pay additional handling fees.  Most of those expensive magic items and rare materials are traded in this way, and only the cheaper common spellcasting materials have the opportunity to use those jingling gold coins.

    What reassures magicians is that the maintenance and management of the spell pool and the review of arcane energy accounts are all handled by the tower master himself to ensure that no one can use spells to commit fraud.  The reason is very simple. If someone can actually surpass the master of the Tower in magic, why would he condescend to descend as a ghost to do such sneaky and rotten things Even His Majesty, the noble King, will definitely use the most solemn and grandest methods.  To recruit him, money and resources are not an issue at all.
