Chapter 119.1
Miracle Metropolis (1)
An odd black mist surrounded these rings . Shaar initially thought it was some dying spirit’s powers however after Tatara’s comment, he was stunned .
Life drive? However why does this look so evil and scary?!
“Easy, as a result of these lives have been taken by drive . The magic of harvesting life drive itself is modified from the magic used to reap spirits,” smirk Dora in his thoughts .
The unfortunate magician who died in Shaar’s palms had his pockets virtually emptied . Shaar and Tatara discovered a well-hidden lambskin pocket book and after skimming by way of, Shaar solely discovered unusual textual content that appeared like scrawls used on magical seals .
“That is the Language of Magic, a language particularly utilized by magicians . This can be a kind of magic that harvests life drive . ” Tatara sighed instantly, his grasping eyes fastened on the lambskin notes in Shaar’s palms .
“Throughout Fihar Frankia’s final look in Osgiliath, when he left his final phrases on the church, he additionally wrote a line of magic incantation on the wall . This incantation was how he used modified dying spirit magic to extract life drive!”
Tatara was getting excited . “Though the church did its greatest to ban this spell, info nonetheless leaked out by way of numerous pathways . That was in all probability his intentions anyway . Sadly, the incantation this madman left behind was not even full . At the very least he didn’t depart all the harvesting procedures behind, so… in the event that they adopted his methodology… Unsure what number of magicians tried this throughout the previous few centuries however it’s too dangerous none may attain his degree . ”
Fihar’s contribution: he made a shortcut out there so extra individuals may get hold of energy however there was nonetheless a barrier to entry . He merely drastically lowered it .
To domesticate this ‘Life Curse Method’ that Fihar left behind, first you have to be a dying spirit magician! It’s essential to learn to harvest souls, then constructing on this basis, it is possible for you to to reap life drive .
The second barrier to entry appeared to be one thing Fihar intentionally did… The spell he left behind was only a fraction of the entire model . A cultivator following this methodology would discover that they might nonetheless harvest different individuals’s life drive however when casting the spell, they might spend their very own life drive too- simply that this charge of expenditure can be decreased drastically .
When a spell is solid, it will spend principally the harvested life drive in addition to a bit of the magician’s personal .
This was simply in a relative sense . Though each spell used solely a bit, after some time, it will accumulate… And the magician’s life would naturally be brief .
Nobody understood his intentions of not offering the complete spell .
Some individuals got here up with a principle as they speculated, and this principle was accepted by a minority:
In abstract, Fihar was an individual of ‘excessive morals’ . Though he had created a number of famine disasters and killed many lives, this was all in pursuit for energy and to him, this was ‘selflessness’ .
He supposed to go away behind a chance for the world, opening a door to a brand new path! After the trail was illuminated, he didn’t care how individuals walked down the trail and wanted them to used their mind to conduct analysis .
If he introduced all the methodology, then… it will merely encourage laziness: they might simply must domesticate this methodology .
That was why he didn’t wish to inform anybody what to do, however displaying what was potential!
In his phrases, “If I may shepard sufficient goats, I might be capable to problem an Archmage! If I had much more goats, I might be capable to combat an much more highly effective presence…”
And what would that be?
That was unfathomable…
Sadly, individuals couldn’t replicate it .
Within the many years after his dying, his Life Curse Method didn’t unfold .
One was as a result of the church suppressed and managed this method and alternatively, the spell was very incomplete and nobody as prodigious as Fihar ever appeared once more .
If… you needed to minimize your life brief by a couple of years each time you solid the spell, most individuals couldn’t settle for this value as a result of it will be the identical as suicide together with the enemy . . .
The third motive was a very powerful: there was an ‘extremely dangerous’ drawback!
What would the consequence of cultivating the entire incantation?
In principle, with sufficient variety of lives round, then the magician would have limitless energy! Simply as what Fihar stated about ‘sufficient variety of goats’!
They might not be spending their very own life drive!
However as for the unfinished method, there was not one of the infinite energy impact! As a result of the magician nonetheless needed to spend their very own life drive, simply that… the expenditure was loads lesser .
This lack introduced a wierd final result:
A separation of castes .
This was a shocking consequence .
Different magic had ranges, newbie, intermediate and superior, degree 1 to 9 .
Fihar’s ingenuity was that he may ignore this method!
But, one other grading system appeared with the unfinished spell . This grading system didn’t relate to magical powers however the magician’s personal life drive .
Or moderately… it was decided by how a lot of your life drive you have been prepared to sacrifice!
The extra of your personal life you sacrificed, the extra highly effective you turned, and vice versa .
Many individuals didn’t perceive why Fihar would create such a rule after breaking the earlier guidelines . Maybe Fihar was simply getting again on the world in his personal method .
