Holy Brilliance Calendar Year 1021, Month of Beginning.
The day of the sparring session with the Fist of the Empire was getting closer and closer. Levi cultivated in the Gray Tower in peace.
After obtaining the Stone Heart from Levi, Herman, the Tower Master, devoted himself to new alchemy research. The difficulty of advancing to the third circle was not something that could be compared to advancing to the second circle from the first circle.
This was the sign of advancing from low-level to intermediate-level. He estimated that the Tower Master would need at least three to five years to advance.
After calculating the time, Mr. Marko and Mr. Tim should be returning soon.
Due to the absence of these two main teachers, most of the classes in the Gray Tower had stopped in the past year.
Fortunately, Levi did not pay much attention to the class. He only needed to replenish the knowledge he lacked. Most of the time, after completing his daily cultivation, he would study some theoretical knowledge of spells himself.
Although wizards paid attention to learning from each other, independent research abilities were also necessary.
Currently, he was still an apprentice wizard and was still in the stage of laying the foundation. When he advanced to an official wizard in the future, he would have to start experimenting with spell research.
Spell research was not only about learning spells created by others but also about self-created spells. As long as Levi had his own self-created spells, other forces would theoretically have to pay a certain amount of intellectual property rights fees to use Levi’s spells in the future after they were certified by the
Pan -Plane Wizard Council. Some of these fees would be paid to the Pan-Plane Wizard Council to protect intellectual property rights, and the rest would be paid to the original creator of the spell, Levi.
In this way, any official wizard organization or member registered in the Pan-Plane Wizard Council would have to buy the authorization to use spells from the Pan-Plane Wizard Council in the name of the organization or individual when learning this fee. Then, the organization or individual would obtain the right to use spells.
This was the protection of intellectual property rights for wizards.
In addition, there were also Wizard Tools, arrays, patents for the invention and design of potions, and so on. They were all protected by the Pan-Plane Wizard Council’s Act.
This kind of protection had a time limit. Usually, after a wizard was confirmed dead by the Pan-Plane Wizard Council, according to the provisions of the Wizard Research Results Protection Act, in order to prevent excessive protection of intellectual property rights from becoming the shackles of the Wizard World’s progress, the protection of intellectual property rights of wizards was limited to when they were alive and within a hundred years of their death. Once a wizard was confirmed dead for a hundred years, this original spell would become a public spell. Other wizard organizations could use it without paying the authorization fee.
In fact, many of the spells in the Wizard World today were public spells. They were the research results and precious wealth left behind by their predecessors. These spells had been tested over a long period of time, and even today, they were still blessing the future wizards.
Many small organizations or wizards could not afford the relatively high authorization fee for the newest original spells.
Therefore, some large organizations like the Star Tower often had the most cutting-edge and advanced spells.
Some smaller organizations, such as the Gray Tower, were mostly public spell inheritances left behind in the past. This was also why the first Tower Master, Salman, wanted to leave the Gray Tower and join the Star Tower.
In small organizations, although they could learn the classic public spells left behind in ancient times, the wizards were constantly pursuing the truth and constantly innovating. In short, it was the trend to surpass ancient times.
If he wanted to improve, he couldn’t just guard the spells left behind by the ancients.
Therefore, in small organizations, it was very difficult for Intermediate Wizards to have any new breakthroughs or growth. They had to join a larger organization to have a chance of breaking through.
Of course, there were definitely some loopholes in the Pan-Plane Wizard Council’s protection of intellectual property.
However, generally speaking, a wizard who had his own original spells that were purchased by many wizard organizations would not be too short of
money, just like an official pharmacist.
The research of original spells was very difficult. In theory, First-Circle Wizards could start researching original spells, but there were very few people who could really create even First-Ring Spells. The principles of original potions, Wizard Tools, and arrays were similar.
And wizards who could have their own original spells were all worthy of the respect of other wizards.
Not only could these wizards get a share of the profits from their original spells, but if the level of their original spells was high enough and the sales were good enough, they could also obtain the Scholar seat of the Pan -Plane Wizard Council and become a Scholar of the Pan-Plane Wizard Council. That was the dream of countless wizards.
As far as Levi knew, the Tower Master’s next research was an original spell. To be precise, it was an original Alchemy Style.
Once this alchemy method succeeded, the Tower Master might become the first wizard to develop alchemical heart prosthetics.
Only a crazy person like the Tower Master could do such a crazy thing. Even though wizards were very open-minded and tolerant, it was still unimaginable for them to change their hearts to alchemical prosthetics.
After all, the School of Alchemy had only been born for a short period of time. Most of the wizards in the school of alchemy were still at the stage of exploring, and the change in the mindsets of wizards also required a process.
Soon, it was the Month of Germinal..
