I Ascend to the Divine Throne through Arcane Means Chapter 8: 7 The First Attempt at Arcane

Chapter 8: Chapter 7 The First Attempt at Arcane

Lis did not begin his research into the arcane subsystem in the study, but went directly to the magic workshop located in the basent of the mansion.

There, equipped with various types of magic research apparatus that his predecessor had invested heavily in, it was also quiet enough that the servants knew better than to disturb him.

Under the steady, clear glow of the magic stone lamp, various high-level devices ca into Lis’s view.

“High-level Elent Stabilizer, Elent Observation Instrunt, Magic Rune Burner…”

Such luxury, all the magic research instrunts that not even all high-level mages at the top Feis Royal Magic Academy could be equipped with were present here, and it was hard to say whether his predecessor, being a Junior Mage, had really been able to utilize these devices effectively.

To be cautious, Lis turned on a high-level Elent Stabilizer installed on the wall, which looked like a small radar, before he opened the panel to access the arcane subsystem.

...

In the ga “Divine Revelation,” each main profession could choose a corresponding job change, for instance, those starting as warriors could change to Shield Warriors, Knights, Paladins, etc., while mages could change to Fire Mages, Ice Mages, or even to Magic Golem Manipulators, humorously nicknad “piloting Gundams,” who specialize in controlling Magic Energy Structures.

This was also a feature of the “Divine Revelation” ga, where you could always find a profession you liked, even for casual players.

Each job-change generally had its own unique features – This kind of job-change was more akin to a professional skill enhancent, focusing mainly on enhancing certain aspects of a character’s abilities compared to their main professions.

Arcanists, among the nurous job-changes available, were also very unique. They did not directly boost specific abilities but provided a pathway for players to achieve growth through their own efforts.

The potential was extrely high, but the minimum was also very low.

According to descriptions from players who had changed their job to Arcanist in his past life and screenshots of their arcane subsystems, the arcane subsystem could be considered to provide the ability to deeply manipulate and research the four basic Magic Elents of earth, water, fire, and wind, as well as high-level Magic Elents such as Light and Shadow.

In “Divine Revelation,” the basic principle behind every spell a mage could use was to form a Magic Model (a specific combination and frequency of Magic Elents) through the assistance of Spells and Magic Runes and the manipulation of Magic Elents with ntal power, which produced transcendent phenona like creating fireballs with hands or moving objects through the air.

Currently, the thod for mages to learn spells was to learn Magic Spells and continuously try to manipulate Magic Elents to construct Magic Models, further practicing them until they eventually mastered the spell.

However, Arcanists believed that although Magic Elents were immutable, every mage was unique; hence, so people excelled in using Fire Elent spells while others excelled in controlling-type spells.

Just morizing spells through rote and mastering them through sheer repetition was seen by Arcanists as the least efficient and most foolish thod.

Arcanists advocated exploring the deeper rules of Magic Elents, questioning why a combination of Fire Elents could form a fireball or why a specific arrangent of Fire and Earth Elents could create a Nine-Ring Magic Manipulating Spell like teor Fire Rain.

Furthermore, Arcanists would modify and adjust Spells and Elent Models according to their own affinity with Magic Elents, ultimately forming a unique spell that best suited their true nature.

These specially adjusted spells by the Arcanists were collectively referred to as arcane.

Arcane, because they were more suited to the Arcanist’s own characteristics, tended to be more powerful or have unique effects when used compared to the spells before adjustnt.

If certain arcane developed by Arcanists, while aligning with their own essence, also possessed considerable universality and practical value, they would be learned and used by other ordinary mages, becoming new spells passed down through generations.

For instance, what was originally a One-Circle Magic Fireball Technique was continuously improved by generations of Arcanists, developing into various spells such as Bursting Fireball Technique and Kargul Flas Bomb, and even terrifying spells like the Nine-Ring Silent Extinguishing Fireball Technique erged.

Therefore, Arcanists were also seen as inventors and explorers among mages.

Of course, according to the Arcanists’ own boastful claim:

Strength is rely a small gift in our wondrous journey of exploring Magic Elents (͡°͜ʖ͡°)✧!

In his past life’s ga, of course, the arcane subsystem couldn’t realize Arcanist’s complex ability to adjust spells; players with arcane subsystems could only continuously modify the Magic Elent Models, seeking the arcane model that best matched their own compatibility.

Because every modification to the Elent Model required spending Experience Points, Arcanist players jokingly referred to it as trying their luck for the big prize.

If lucky, one could assemble an arcane model with a compatibility of over 95% on their first try; if not, even after ten or a hundred attempts they might not achieve a compatibility of over 80%.

Therefore, Arcanist players were very weak in the early stages of each ga version, only able to use the arcane of the previous level, but by the middle and later stages of the version, after adapting to and adjusting the newly mastered spells, they would beco strong again.

Of course, this had nothing to do with the current Lis. With his own Luck Value of 3, Lis didn’t think the process of improving arcane would go smoothly.

When he opened the arcane subsystem, it didn’t appear as a flat control screen like the screenshots posted by other Arcanist players but rather presented itself as a three-dinsional model of Magic Elents right before Lis’s eyes.

Um, the arcane subsystem seed different from his previous life. Was it because he had truly crossed into the “Divine Revelation” ga world that the arcane subsystem had also changed?

Lis shook his head and stopped pondering, as it wasn’t sothing he could figure out at the mont. He then imrsed his gaze into the various spell models that appeared before him, which seed to be the spells he had already mastered.

The red particles represented the Fire Elent, the yellow ones the Earth Elent, the blue ones the Water Elent, the green ones the Wind Elent, and the pale white transparent particles should be the Spirit Elent.

Beyond that, Lis could also see specks of white and black particles, which must be the Light Elent and the Shadow Elent. As for the legendary Emperor Ti Elent and Space Elent, Lis didn’t find them.

Lis looked at a spell model composed of a cluster of Fire Elent particles, which should be the model for the Fireball Technique.

The Fireball Technique model was arranged in a regular spherical shape, with three Magic Pattern Circuits made of Fire Elents running through it.

Lis thought for a mont and tried adjusting the angle of one of the Magic Patterns in combination with the others, then carefully infused Magic Power into the model.

Before Lis’s eyes, the Fireball Technique model brightened with the input of Mana, forming a small bright red fireball that appeared much smaller compared to the fireball ford by the normal spell model.

What’s going on? Was this a success?

He wondered about its power. Should he throw it at sothing to test?

Suddenly, the small fireball began to irregularly bulge and twist, under Lis’s horrified gaze…

“Boom~~~~”

—————–

In the second floor of the mansion, in Lis’s bedroom

Rossi, who was diligently wiping the windows, suddenly felt a tremble under her feet and thought she heard sothing explode.

“Strange, was that an earthquake?”

She looked out the window, and everything on Feis Street looked usual and peaceful; the cream-colored pigeons in the nearby fountain square showed no reaction, still cooing and following pedestrians, begging for food.

“Maybe I was mistaken; how could there be an earthquake out of nowhere?”

Rossi shook her head and hustled back to her cleaning. Master Lis seed a bit different lately; she had to work even harder o(*≧▽≦)ツ|.

But soon Rossi discovered that it was not her imagination…

Because the tremors from the basent didn’t completely stop at all that day!
