Chapter 345: 345
Finally .
When the notification finally appeared, Soran felt a sense of relief .
It was more difficult for the spellcaster to master his or her ability compared to other classes . Many melee class necessary abilities could be learned in a year and a half, but even the most straightforward abilities of the wizard took a lot of time . From the moment Soran multi-professioned in the wizard, the ability [Practiced Spellcaster] had been accumulating, but only until now did he mastered it . And among them, there were also the abilities [Able Learner] and [Sage], but it still took a long time .
“Practiced Spellcaster [Spellcasting ability]: as you cast spells again and again . Your ability to master spells had gradually improved, also enhancing your ability to master spells . When you cast any spell, the time spent would be -1 . If you cast a spell that takes only one second to cast, you would instantly cast the spell . This cast time reduction effect can be stacked with other equipment of the same effect . ”
“Arcane Missile!”
Soran gently raised his fingers, without even chanting, then a series of arcane missiles shot out, penetrating the target in front of him . Practiced Spellcaster was the core ability of a wizard; many of the Metamagic Abilities mastered in the future would come from this basic ability .
Since he had mastered the ability [Practiced Spellcaster], Soran did not need to save up on the Slaughter EXP he got .
A row of data appeared:
“The Profession wizard is now Level 10 . ”
“Received 27 [DEX 21+ (INT 21-10)*0 . 5] Skill Points, HP increased by 10 [Profession HP 4+ (CON 22-10)*0 . 5] . ”
“Acquired one Free Attribute point . ”
“Acquired one ability point . ”
Soran allocated skill points to Literacy and Concentration . He still couldn’t master [Combat Casting] quickly enough because he didn’t have enough Concentration and was easy to be interrupted during battle . The Concentration of a wizard had a wide range of functions; learning magic or combat casting, all of this must pass a Test of Concentration . The Concentration level of a pure wizard was relatively high . The most important test of Concentration was the ability [Mobile Spellcasting] .
The free attribute point was allocated to Wisdom, something important when he needed to master legendary spells .
Then there was a very important ability point .
“Maximize Spell [Metamagic Abilities]: This Metamagic ability can maximize the power of a spell, and increase the damage of a certain spell by 100% at the cost of upgrading two spell levels . For example, a level 1 arcane missile will become a level 3 spell after using this Metamagic ability to memorize it; the damage caused by the arcane missile to the enemy will be increased by 100% . ” (Note: a prerequisite for Empower Spell)
“Silent Spell [Metamagic Abilities]: This Metamagic ability could silently cast a spell at the cost of upgrading 1 spell level . This allows spells not needing any casting actions and chanting, casting any spell silently . The spell ignores any silent spell, and it’s hard for the enemy to notice that the wizard is casting . Until the moment when the casting is completed, it would not be detected by an enemy . ” (Note: Prerequisite for the epic ability silent spell . )
“Spontaneous Casting [Metamagic Abilities]: This Metamagic Ability allows spells to be instantly cast at the cost of upgrading three spell levels . Instant spells cannot be interrupted by any normal means . They are also immune to silence and counter-attack . ” (Note: Prerequisite for the epic ability Spontaneous Casting . )
Soran looked at the three choices that had appeared and went into deep thought .
Among them, Maximize Spell was an output maximization spell, which could greatly improve the power of a spell . If a person wanted to go all in, this ability was quite useful . Then there was the Silent Spell, which was a very effective ability when sneaking an attack on the enemy . During the Astral Plane wars, the Eye of the North used this ability to cast a legendary spell silently . No one noticed that she was preparing a legendary spell; they only noticed it when the spell had been cast — this ability used to be popular with trickster wizards because it could catch an enemy off guard .
Finally, Spontaneous Casting, which everyone was familiar with . It was able to turn a spell into an instant cast spell at the cost of making it 3 levels higher .
It was a rather useful ability that came at a heavy price!
Whether it was Silent Spell or Spontaneous Casting, they were both prerequisite spells for future epic abilities . After mastering this Metamagic Ability, advancing to legendary wizard would allow the mastery of other epic instant cast spells; Spontaneous Casting (silent) 0, Spontaneous Casting (silent) 1, Spontaneous Casting (silent) 2 and so on .
As long as you master this epic ability, the corresponding level of spells would not need to be increased additionally .
For example, if you mastered the epic ability Spontaneous Casting level 1, then all the level 1 spells would be automatically converted into instant cast . This epic ability could be upgraded to level 9 . After mastering level 9 Spontaneous Casting, any level 9 spells would become instant cast .
That was why previously, many wizards mastered the ability of Spontaneous Casting early on .
To save ability points, and level up Spontaneous Casting after entering the realm of legend!
However, Soran had never seen anyone succeed in doing so .
Even the most powerful spell caster, that was, the elder princess of Arendelle; would not have mastered level 9 Spontaneous Casting, maybe only level 6 .
This was a hard choice!
It determined whether a spellcaster wants to become the most powerful one, or give up and pursue other relatively easy and practical abilities, such as Silent Spell, Extend Spell, etc .
The Eye of the North chose Silent Spell .
This meant that it was almost impossible for her to become the most powerful wizard as she could only walk further and further on the path of Silent Spell .
The elder princess of Arendell and Vivian had chosen the path to become the most powerful wizard .
Soran was sure of one thing .
That’s Vivian’s had mastered the ability of Spontaneous Casting . Otherwise, her casting speed would not be so fast; many low level spells not even requiring any chanting .
Now!
It was Soran’s turn to pick, and he was not sure which path he should take .
If he picked Maximize Spell, then he would pursue the path of greatest damage . In the future, when combined with the ability [Epic Spell Penetration], it would be very devastating to the enemy .
However, if he picked Spontaneous Casting, he would be able to get close to the most powerful wizards .
This was a hard choice .
