Chapter 628: Chapter 258 Choosing Innate Wizardry (Two-in-One Mega Chapter)
“Metal Morphing Spell!” Rein gently recited the name of the new witchcraft.
After scrutinizing it several times, Rein quickly realized the difficulty of visualizing the witchcraft model for the new spell “Metal Morphing Spell” was far greater than that of the other spells he had learned, such as “Scorching Touch,” “High Heat Force Field,” and “Blazing Light.”
It was even more difficult than “Sharpness Technique,” another spell related to metals, by several times.
Rein had anticipated this.
Because it was a first-level witchcraft.
In terms of hierarchy, the “Sharpness Technique” and “Blazing Light” he had learned before were only apprentice-level witchcraft.
Therefore, even with Rein’s current high spiritual power of 39 points, learning the Metal Morphing Spell was not easy.
Since he had planned to exchange for the Metal Morphing Spell beforehand, Rein had prepared many metal ingots such as iron and copper in a corner of the room in advance.
After spending considerable time memorizing the witchcraft model structure, Rein walked over to the corner, picked up a heavy iron ingot, and began to try it out.
For Rein, with the system, success even once meant it would be permanently engraved on the attribute panel.
Thus, even though the difficulty of this witchcraft was quite high, Rein still had confidence he would master it in a short time.
After spending over an hour and failing dozens of times, Rein, with sweat beading on his forehead, finally succeeded!
With the casting of the Metal Morphing Spell.
The rectangular iron ingot in Rein’s right hand began to deform at a considerable speed!
Seconds later, it had turned into the shape of a dagger.
Rein estimated it took about three seconds.
Surprised, Rein frowned, immediately contemplating something.
He carefully examined the blade of the dagger and tested its sharpness with his finger, his face showing contemplation.
Before long, Rein started to chant another spell and cast the Metal Morphing Spell again.
Suddenly, the dagger changed shape once more, this time into a sophisticated small iron hammer.
In appearance, it looked very much like the hammers commonly used by blacksmiths.
However, while the hammerheads of the ones blacksmiths used were generally made of iron, this small hammer, including the hammerhead, was entirely metallic.
Satisfied after swinging the small hammer a few times, Rein placed it aside and crossed his arms, pacing back and forth in the room, deep in thought.
“The edge of the dagger is a bit soft, which is because the dagger formed by the Metal Morphing Spell hasn’t been quenched and hardened,” Rein mused.
“If applied in combat, the destructive power of sharp weapons would be significantly reduced.”
“The hammer, on the other hand, is much better, the impact is not as considerable.”
Rein remembered that sharp weapons made of bronze, wrought iron, or steel all needed to be hardened through quenching to enhance the hardness and sharpness of the edges.
“In that case, I need to find a special metal or alloy to complement the Metal Morphing Spell to achieve the best effect in terms of power,” he thought.
“No, that’s not right!”
Suddenly, a spark of inspiration flashed through Rein’s mind.
He once again cast the Metal Morphing Spell, turning the small hammer back into dagger form.
Then Rein cast another metal-related witchcraft, “Sharpness Technique.”
As the Sharpness Technique was successfully cast, the dagger in Rein’s hand suddenly displayed a somewhat dazzling, water-like silvery glow.
Rein picked up an iron ingot with his left hand and began cutting into it with the dagger in his right hand.
Under the effect of the Sharpness Technique, the process was not difficult at all.
This immediately brought a smile to Rein’s face.
“If the Sharpness Technique is used in conjunction, the requirement for the metallic material might not need to be very high, Hardened Essence Gold or Blood-patterned Steel would be entirely sufficient,” he figured.
“I don’t need to find some rare or exotic metals after all… Eh?”
“Wait a minute. The effect of the Sharpness Technique I just cast seems to be better than before.” Rein suddenly noticed a problem.
He could clearly feel the change, with the power having increased by at least ten to twenty percent!
“But that’s not right, the Sharpness Technique is still at lv1 (90/100), the level hasn’t increased,” Rein glanced at the Wizard Apprentice (Transcendent) attribute panel.
“Could it be because of the increase in my spiritual power?”
“But that’s not right either! My spiritual power has been at 39 points for quite some time now.” Rein furrowed his brow, puzzled, and started flipping through the system attribute panel for a detailed review.
When he saw the talent “Intermediate Steel Body,” Rein’s eyes narrowed, and he suddenly thought of something!
“Could it be because of the upgrade of ‘Basic Steel Body’ to ‘Intermediate Steel Body’?” Rein muttered to himself.
He remembered clearly.
When “Basic Steel Body” was upgraded to “Intermediate Steel Body,” his body had emitted a metallic silver halo.
This halo looked very similar to the one from casting the Sharpness Technique, like mercury flowing around his body, before the light receded and became invisible.
“But that’s impossible, I’ve never heard of someone’s elemental affinity changing,” Rein was certain of this.
He had discussed this matter with the Magician from the witchcraft family, Naya Usman.
Moreover, it was written in the ancient books that no one’s elemental affinity has been heard of changing.
