The process of casting magic is incredibly simple and consists of just three steps.
First, ditation.
Second, Control.
Third, Release!
As the nas suggest, ditation is for enhancing spiritual power and stardust magic energy, thereby improving cultivation. Control is about arranging the stars, and finally, following a fixed casting model to release the magic.
Lu Jun imrsed himself in his spiritual world. Two pieces of stardust, one blue and one platinum, shone brightly, with each containing seven radiant stars floating within.
Stardust, as the na implies, represents the dust of stars. For an elentary mage, their cultivation is insignificant within the vast spiritual world, making the na quite fitting.
Each elent corresponds to one piece of stardust, containing seven stars. Connecting these seven stars forms a Star Path, which is the foundation for casting magic.
At the interdiate level, stardust evolves into a Star Cloud, containing 49 stars. Casting magic then requires combining seven Star Paths into a Star Atlas.
In the magical world, casting spells before reaching the advanced stage is highly rigid. Each elent has only one magic per stage. At the elentary level, mages are limited to one skill per elent, requiring teamwork to leverage individual strengths.
Upon reaching the interdiate level and mastering two elents, having four skills provides so flexibility.
Alternatively, one can rely on external aids, introducing the concept of Magic Tools. These are akin to equipnt or treasures that can be used once in a given period, whether for offensive purposes like slicing magic tools or defensive ones like shield magic tools.
"That's why natural talents are so precious," Lu Jun thought to himself. Talents co with unique abilities, followed by spiritual seeds and soul seeds that can significantly enhance the power of one's magic.
Lu Jun shook his head in reflection. Spirit seeds and soul seeds are akin to the concept of heavenly flas in other tales, exclusive to elental systems. Ordinary magic involves mundane water, fire, or lightning without any special effects or overwhelming power.
However, refining a spiritual or soul seed grants control over unique elents like extraordinary water or fire, far surpassing peers of the sa level.
These treasures are incredibly expensive and can only be integrated at the interdiate level for spiritual seeds and at the advanced level for soul seeds. Unless born with these talents, such opportunities feel distant.
At this mont, Lu Jun ignored the tal Elent stardust and focused on the Water Elent.
After much deliberation, he decided to invest his efforts into the Water Elent since the tal Elent couldn't be revealed. Additionally, it lacked a template for elentary magic, making it impossible to control its stars.
Buzz!
However, as Lu Jun's thoughts connected with the Water Elent stardust, the white tiger pendant hanging around his neck trembled. Information surged into his mind, leaving him pleasantly surprised—it was the star arrangent for Elentary tal Magic.
"Haha, I knew the tal Elent wouldn't leave hanging."
Without a doubt, the white tiger pendant was a high-level magic tool with unique capabilities.
Though the issue of tal Magic was resolved, Lu Jun remained committed to training the Water Elent first, as it was crucial for his school assessnts.
During his initial training, Lu Jun ventured into the blue stardust. The seven azure stars, initially calm, beca agitated upon sensing his intrusion. Each star carved elegant paths in the stardust, evading his grasp.
After so ti, Lu Jun achieved nothing—not even capturing a single Water Elent star. This was normal, as every magic elent had a distinct temperant that required the mage to learn to harmonize with it.
For ordinary people, it typically took about a year to successfully cast their first elentary spell—a decent achievent.
After school, Lu Jun returned ho, ntally exhausted. Most people could ditate for five hours, but controlling stars limited them to just two hours due to the intense ntal strain.
When he arrived ho, he sensed a peculiar whirlwind surrounding the house. Dense Wind Elent energy filled the air, leaving him astonished.
"Sis, I'm ho!" Lu Jun called out upon entering the living room.
Soon, he saw his sister, Lu i, floating three feet above the sofa, surrounded by a green glow.
She slowly opened her eyes, smiled, and said, "Your sister is now an interdiate mage, specializing in Wind. From now on, you can walk around Bo City with pride."
Hearing this, Lu Jun was shocked. Reaching the interdiate level at twenty was impressive, comparable to students from Pearl University. Even so, it had taken his sister two years to pass this stage.
"How about you?" Lu i asked with concern. "What elent did you awaken?"
After so hesitation, Lu Jun decided to reveal his dual elents. They had always relied on each other, so there was no reason to hide it. Moreover, considering the tal Elent stardust, he would need her support to gather resources for training.
"I awakened two elents," he said.
Lu i was montarily stunned, her red lips slightly parted, and her eyes widened. "Innate talent?! Dual elents?"
Her pride in advancing to the interdiate level vanished instantly.
"Wait a second," she rushed to him with urgency. "Don't tell anyone else! If word gets out, people with ill intentions might target you. Keep it hidden until you reach the interdiate level and can protect yourself. By the way, which two elents are they?"
"I'm not stupid," Lu Jun replied. "Water and... tal."
"Huh?" Lu i blinked in confusion. She understood Water but had no idea about tal.
She asked repeatedly until Lu Jun demonstrated the sharp, platinum-colored magic energy unique to the tal Elent. Only then did she believe him.
"A brand-new elent?!" Lu i's expression turned serious. Looking at her brother, she sighed, "Little brother, you're destined to be a great mage, standing shoulder to shoulder with figures like the First Emperor and Faraday."
Seeing his sister remain supportive, Lu Jun felt relieved, though slightly embarrassed.
The magical world's basic frawork mirrored his previous life but replaced science with magic. For instance, the First Emperor was not only the originator of the Earth Elent but also the founder of the Undead Elent, creating magical marvels like the Great Wall and the royal tombs.
Finally, Lu i asked curiously, "What's the elentary tal Elent skill? You should know that improperly controlling stars to cast spells could either be ineffective or harm yourself."
"tal Elent, huh?" Lu Jun recalled the information from the white tiger pendant. His expression turned peculiar. The elentary tal Magic skill was called Forging.
As the na implied, it involved crafting objects from tal—anything from swords to bells, mirrors, or towers. These could then be infused with magic, transforming into magic tools nurtured within the tal Elent stardust. They would evolve alongside the user's cultivation.
Unlike ordinary magic tools, which were one-ti-use, tal Elent magic tools could be used repeatedly as long as the stardust's energy wasn't depleted.
Even the weakest elentary magic tool, when activated, was unrivaled among mages of the sa level. Offensive tools were stronger than Fire or Lightning elentary spells but had limited duration, making them suitable only for ergencies.
With this discovery, Lu Jun saw a way to overco the awkward period where the Water Elent only provided defensive spells. He decided to develop the tal Elent into a destructive force.
The tal Elent, associated with sharpness and killing power, had always been regarded as the strongest in combat, surpassing even Fire and Lightning in reputation. Based on the description of its elentary magic, it certainly had the potential.
However, without forging materials, controlling the stars wouldn't be effective. Thus, Lu Jun decided to seek his sister's help in gathering suitable resources.
The choice of materials was crucial. While the tal Elent stardust could only accommodate ordinary tals at the elentary level, using high-quality alloys could provide significant advantages, including effects comparable to spiritual seeds or innate talents.
Forging a magic tool for the tal Elent required extre caution, as the stars rged into the tool. If it were destroyed, the entire elent would be severely crippled.
"tal alloys, huh? Looks like I'll have to ask a few of my university friends for help. They can probably pull so strings to access certain labs," Lu i mused, telling her brother to wait for news.
Then, with a smile, she added, "Welco ho, and congratulations on becoming a mage!"
