If Anton wanted to categorize his spell mastery, Anton would give them several ranks like Novice, Amateur, Adept, and Master and if he wanted to be honest, he was only in the Novice rank in all of them and he would only consider himself as Amateur in some of the spells from the Sorcerer skill tree.
It wasn’t a formal categorization but something he invented based on the web novels that he had read but knew deep inside that he was right. He was even surprised that his system was not adapting it but he was guessing that his system would only do so once he had maximized the levels of all of the characters from his Diablo II system.
Anton was thinking about the things that made his schedule too busy for him to add memorizing the regular spells included in his daily routine and he was diverted by the thought of ranking his mastery over his Diablo II spells. Some of the others on his plate were his enchanted items creations. Most of his created items were things that he thought he and his family needed to make their lives safe and comfortable so he thought that if there was an item that they needed, he prioritized making them just like how he was prioritizing the defensive items that he was creating since he thought that it was a necessary item to make sure that his family was safe.
Aside from those, he also didn’t want to stop practicing his music since he felt that it was a necessity since it allowed him to rest his mind and soul. He had even paused them for several days already due to the situation with those assassins and he felt personal guilt over stopping them since they were for keeping his mind healthy. That meant that adding more to his daily routine like practicing the standard magic of this world might burn him out really fast.
Anton also wanted to spend time with his family and friends since he didn’t want to isolate himself. He didn’t want to become some psychotic mage who preferred to be alone. He had already isolated himself when he was on Earth when his parents died and he didn’t want to do something like that again in this world.
Anton spent his morning inside his Diablo II system completing the defensive item that he was making. It was a very complicated project since he had to inscribe three armor spells in an item. He was successful yesterday in adding the Frozen Armor spell onto the tablet so his next step was inscribing the Cyclone Armor spell.
By the time he lunchtime arrived, Anton was almost done with the Cyclone Armor. His next step was to make sure that it would activate with the Frozen Armor at the same time. After that, he would then inscribe the Bone Armor spell and the next step was to make sure that all three spells would play with each other without any conflict.
That wasn’t the end of the problem for the defensive item. Once he was successful in making sure that the three armor spells would activate at the same time, he needed to make sure that the mana storage would carry enough heft to support the three spells since they would be a massive mana drain.
Not only would the mana drain constantly from the mana storage while the spells were active, but the moment they received damage, it would bite on the mana stored on the item hard so to be truly useful in battle, the mana storage should have at least three times more what the air conditioner item had which by his calculation was only good for a single battle.
What it all meant was it was truly impossible for him to put the mana structure of the spells and the mana storage in a small accessory.
During lunchtime, Anton only stopped for a few minutes to eat some of the food that he stored in his inventory since he wanted to complete the item as soon as possible. No one disturbed him since he did post a notice on his door that he would not join anyone for lunch and if anyone was truly curious, his door was open and they could see him with his eyes closed while seated on his bed.
By the time four in the afternoon arrived, Anton had successfully completed inscribing the Cyclone Armor spell on the silver tablet that he was using. It was faster than the Frozen Armor spell since he knew what needed to be done through the example set by the Frozen Armor spell. That meant that the Bone Armor spell would be easier still but then the next step was to make sure that three spells would work together but that would be the project for the next day.
When Anton went outside of his room, the mages had already concluded their practice for the day and were talking with each other about their thoughts on magic and the epiphanies that they had encountered. He noticed that his father and the others were not there so he briefly checked his summons and when he found out that every one of them seemed to be alive, he knew that the others were fine.
“Why is Father and the others not here yet? Does anyone know?” Anton interrupted the mages' discussion.
“Your father sent Colin earlier to inform us that they would attend a meeting that was going to be held by the nobles,” Frederick said.
“Since The Return of the King was just released, it probably renewed the interest of some of the nobles to participate in the cinema business. Everyone knew that the cinema would bring in massive wealth to your family and a lot of the families wanted a piece of that pie. You don’t need to worry too much about it, Anton, since Antonia, Lucia, and Phillip would know what to do and would assist your father and Nemina. Even your father’s woman, Selena, and her two friends would know what to do as well,” Walter commented.
“I miss eating the Kraken tentacle meat. Let’s ask Harun to have some cook for us,” Anton said.
“Do you want me to find him?” Frederick asked and Anton declined saying that it was still too dangerous for any of them to move alone.
Anton summoned a Raven and tied a letter on its leg requesting Harun’s presence. They only waited for a few minutes when Harun arrived with the Raven on its shoulder. He commanded the Raven to stay by Harun to make sure that their sailor guide was safe.
Anton then gave Harun several kilos of the Kraken Tentacle meat and several gold coins. Since this was not the first time, Harun knew what to do and left immediately. Anton still commanded the Raven to stay by their guide since he didn’t want anything to happen to the sailor while doing their bidding.
While they were waiting, the mages continued talking about magic while Anton listened. It was basically Frederick and Anna teaching what they knew of magic to Lunelle, Walter, and the twins, Ramona and Belinda. When some of the questions were too difficult to be answered by either Frederick or Anna, they told them that they would find the answers with the other wizards in the next wizards’ conference which would be by tomorrow.
Anton was useless when it came to their magic but everyone already knew that his magic was a different system from theirs.
“Isn’t it dangerous for the wizards to meet while the assassins’ organization is still about?” Anton asked.
“The wizards knew that so there would be several Supreme Wizards there to make sure that everyone is safe,” Frederick answered.
