Michael closed his eyes and visualized the flow of mana in his mind. And in his mind's eye view, he could see the square chunk of Damascus Steel right in front of him as if it was an empty void ready to be filled.
Then, with careful precision, he guided a string of elental mana into the Damascus Steel.
The microscopic fuzzy balls of energy entered through the microscopic gaps in the Damascus Steel's atoms until they beca infused with mana! Suddenly, the Damascus Steel began to absorb more mana from Michael until it was fully saturated.
Using his Supre Skill: Mana Gathering, he was able to see the true state of the Damascus Steel. Since it was infused with mana, it felt like the Steel itself beca mana too!
With the help of ChatJK3, Michael was able to create Mithril on his very first try!
He opened his eyes and saw the substantial change in the Damascus Steel.
The previous gray and black color of the tal had changed completely, becoming translucent, like a crystal.
For this first experint, Michael had infused the Damascus Steel with only Fire mana, which ant that the Mithril beca like a crystal with a reddish glow from the inside.
He continued with his experints, having eight different Mithril pieces with each containing a different elental mana.
Michael picked up the Mithril with a slightly bluish glow from the inside of its translucent crystal-like body. This was the Water-elent Mithril.
And as soon as he picked it up, a notification flashed through his vision.
[Strength of Water-elent Spells increased by 30%]
[Mana consumption of Water-elent Spells decreased by 50%]
[Casting ti of Water-elent Spells decreased by 10%]
Michael couldn't believe his eyes. Just by touching Mithril, casting a Water-elent spell beca so much more improved!
With this Mithril, a simple 2-star spell could have the sa power as a 3-star spell!
Holding a Water-elent Mithril increased the effects of a Water-elent spell!
Is this the true effect of Mithril? It's much better than I thought, Michael thought to himself.
He tried it with the different elents and they all gave him the sa effects. Each Mithril improved the effects of a spell as long as the spell used that specific elent.
He could then confidently conclude that Mithrils could effectively increase a mage's magic output by at least half!
This was a breakthrough he didn't know he was going to get.
Michael could only wonder what kind of reaction Seberus would have once he told him of this discovery. The old man would probably drown from shock again!
He continued his experints with the Mithril, combining two different elents into one Damascus Steel to see what kind of effects they would produce.
Strangely enough, combining two elents didn't necessarily increase its effects.
He put equal parts of Water and Earth mana into the Damascus Steel to make it a new kind of Mithril.
Theoretically, Water and Earth were supposed to be complentary to each other, aning that they shed well together in spells.
However, when he cast a 1-star spell [Water Ball] while holding this new Mithril, he found that its effects weren't as great as when he held the pure Water mana Mithril. It was worse by at least half.
It was the sa when he cast a 1-star Earth spell.
However, when he cast a 1-star spell called [Muddy Quagmire], which needed both Water and Earth mana, the effects were a lot better than normal!
From this, Michael could conclude that the combination of mana into Mithril was only good if the spells being cast used those combinations of mana elents. Otherwise, it was better to just have one elent into a Mithril.
And as he continued to experint, he suddenly had an idea to put all elental mana into one Damascus Steel.
He wanted to replicate the GodForge.
That material was rich with all elents that coincided with each other without canceling each other out. Because of that, it was able to release a trendous amount of pure energy that resulted in a fire that could lt everything in its path.
Michael, knowing that he was playing with sothing a little bit dangerous, decided to experint on a smaller piece of Damascus Steel, about the size of his palm.
He pulled the elental mana out of his cores and slowly instructed them to infuse into the Damascus Steel. Find exclusive stories on empire
To be cautious, he put one elent at a ti. He infused it with Fire mana, then Water mana, then Air mana, and so on and so forth.
There were now seven out of eight elents inside the Damascus Steel, and nothing had gone wrong as of yet. He just needed to infuse it with Light mana and he would be able to make a Mithril that contained all elental mana.
As the Light mana left his hands and entered the Damascus Steel, the usually ta and docile elents inside suddenly reacted violently, as if a beast had been awoken.
The Damascus Steel, unable to handle all the energy from the fusion of all elental mana inside it, burst into a million pieces and created a trendous explosion that turned everything close asunder.
Michael's Absolute Unity Defense activated automatically, protecting him from the explosion.
The counteracting force of his defense was able to quell the explosion and prevent it from spreading outwards just in ti.
If Michael hadn't suppressed it, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the explosion would have destroyed Michael's entire house and all the houses near it.
A couple of seconds later, a few of his trusted allies ca bursting through the door, alard by the shockwave that emanated from his house.
"Boss! Are you okay?!" Lolo asked worriedly.
"Master! I'm here! Who's the enemy that dared to assassinate you?" Fudge said, jumping on Michael's head and performing so martial arts movents in the air.
"What happened? Are you okay, Boss?"
Even the Chief of Law Enforcent Centaur had been alard and rushed to Michael's aid.
He had to explain to everyone that he was fine and that the explosion was an after-effect of an experint gone wrong.
After this explanation, they finally heaved a sigh of relief and went back to their daily lives.
Fudge, on the other hand, stayed behind and asked Michael about his experint.
Once Michael explained it to him, the rogue sli imdiately requested for Michael to create a Kunai dagger made out of Mithril, which of course, contained Dark mana inside and increased all dark-elent spells he would use.
Fudge's words gave Michael an idea of how Mithril could be used in the future…
