Chapter 295 Soul Moth
(Sorry <(__)> made a mistake again, this is Chapter 299, I'm very sorry<(__)>)
It is safe to be in the thought of truth, and there are not many exchange points in Punk's hands, so he is going to seriously study the improvement of spells first, and at the same time rely on the transaction with Ben Rachel to obtain the exchange points needed for daily research, and The golem matter had to be put aside for now.
To select a spell that needs to be improved, you need to consider various things, such as the practical value of the spell itself and the room for improvement, and also consider whether Punk's own economic ability can support the research cost for a long time.
After an afternoon of careful screening, Punk finally chose a summoning spell for improvement.
The spell he was going to improve was a relatively outdated master-level summoning spell - "soul moth".
The history of this spell is even longer than that of Netheril civilization. It is said that it is even in the same era as the first batch of summoning spells invented.
However, it is precisely because it is too old, so it is very backward compared to the current spells. In this real world, the progress of spells has never stopped, and as a backward spell, even if the "soul borer" once It has a very unquestionable historical status, but when a large number of better and more cost-effective spells were invented, this backward spell became an unpopular "research material".
Now, punk intends to improve this "research material" abandoned by the times, and make it shine again with a new attitude.
As a "Far Space Scholar", Vedraxia has read all the magic books in the entire "Far Space Library", and has a good understanding of this backward "soul borer" spell.
As a summoning spell, "Soul Worm" is a spell invented based on a master-level magical creature called "Iconi Worm".
Because the mages of that backward era have not yet realized the importance of spell-specific effects, and the number of spells invented is really rare, so when they invent a spell, they always like to add as many magic effects as possible to this spell. , in a disguised form to realize the "one-size-fits-all" state of "one method, all-purpose".
And this "soul moth" is the product of the typical "panacea" magic concept.
The half-energy moth it summons can not only quickly enter the enemy's body to eat the soul through a sneak attack, but also rely on its rapidly growing size and strong spell power as a shield to resist attacks. After devouring the enemy's soul, it can still It has the function of extracting the enemy's memory and delaying self-destruction.
It sounds quite diverse, but, as the so-called all-pass means all-stop, none of the magical effects of this spell are brilliant, and it doesn't even make it to the top of the level of master-level spells.
And as a price, the spell model of this spell has become very cumbersome. Various runes are superimposed one by one, and the magic power consumed to build it is two or three times more than that, and the casting time becomes stinky and long.
Therefore, when a series of spells such as "Soul Devouring Seed", "Mage Armor", "Memory Reading", and "Self-Explosive Fire Wolf" were invented, "Soul Moth" was naturally eliminated.
It is true that compared to mature modern spells, this ancient spell has many shortcomings, but precisely because of its many shortcomings, punk has a lot of room for improvement.
So Punk decided that his path of magic practice started from this forgotten master-level summoning spell - "soul moth"!
--------Dividing line------
"Okay, just put things here."
Punk said to the two apprentices who used the "suspension technique" to carry more than a dozen large boxes.
After deciding to improve the "soul worm" spell, Punk ordered a batch of fifteen "savage worms" in the trading area of the thought of truth.
The best way to study a summoning spell is to start from its "prototype". After all, most summoning spells borrow from the original spell-like spells possessed by the souls of magical creatures. The virtual souls of summoned creatures are more It is necessary to use the prototype magical creature as an important basis, and the difficulty of "fabricating" a summoned creature by oneself is beyond the imagination of a master mage.
However, the history of "soul worms" is too old after all, and the species "Iconi worms" has long been extinct, so punk can only choose the next best thing to choose "Iconi worms" who have many blood ties with Iconi worms. Murder worm" as the research object.
These ferocious worms live in the distant Green Basin swamp, and there is no one in the branch of Thinking of Truth, so transporting them alive consumes a lot of Punk's exchange points.
But fortunately, although the price is a bit deceitful, at least there is still merit in terms of shipping speed. On the third day after Punk placed the order, each of these big bugs weighing more than 70 kilograms was intact. transported to Punk's Magic Tower!
Hearing Punk's order, the two apprentices transporting the "Foul Worm" quickly put all the big boxes in the living room with relief.
The way they got these big boxes from the teleportation array until they entered Punk's magic tower was extremely frightening. Although the howls from more than a dozen boxes were low and subtle, they seemed to be hissing directly in the soul. Howling makes people feel trembling from the bottom of their hearts.
It wasn't until Punk entered Punk's Magic Tower and saw Punk himself that the howling in the dozens of boxes stopped abruptly, and the two apprentices breathed a sigh of relief sweating profusely.
After putting away the box, an apprentice stepped forward carefully and asked:
"Dear Master Sai'an, a total of fifteen boxes have been delivered, do you have any other orders?"
The apprentice lowered his head and didn't dare to look into Punk's eyes. Punk gave him more oppression than these dozen "harmless" boxes, but... Although he wanted to turn around and run away, but in a master It is definitely not acceptable to make such an impolite move in front of a super caster.
"Well, that's right, there's nothing else to do, here are two bottles of "spiritual refinement potions", take them."
Punk sensed the fifteen boxes and made sure there was nothing wrong with them. After casually throwing two bottles of trainee-grade potions to the apprentice, he turned around and left with the boxes, which also made the apprehensive apprentice happy.
"Spiritual Refining Potion" is just a "little toy" that Punk can take out at hand, but it can really be called an invaluable treasure for two little mages who are stuck at the fourth-level apprentice level.
Ignoring the two ordinary apprentices who left with ecstasy, Punk put more than a dozen boxes in the "near room" on the lower floor of the magic tower.
"Fierce worms, official-level magical creatures, low in intelligence level, but with magic-like talent in the soul, with a lifespan of about 1,400 years, and their ancestors are said to be ancient "Iconi worms..."
Putting away the information displayed on the ring, Punk calmly waved his hand and opened all the boxes.
"That's right, it's these "little guys". I hope my exchange points are not in vain."
Let's count the votes, thank you everyone~
