Chapter 53 Learning Rune Crafting

As a high-ranking mage and a teacher, Leonce has her own workshop in the Alchemy Tower.

You won't improve your rune crafting skills much just by reading books; you have to craft them yourself.

In Leonce's studio.

Leonce and Dorothy both changed into their work clothes.

"This is a pre-mixed potion, made with magic cores and herbs in a specific ratio."

Leonce pointed to a row of bottles on the wooden shelf, the ink inside all gleaming with a magical sheen.

"That ring around your neck, was it a gift from my brother?"

Leona looked at the gold ring hanging around Dorothy's neck.

Dorothy nodded.

"It was a gift from Leon when I enrolled, saying it was for my self-defense and that it contained a fireball spell."

"Fireball spell, huh? Since it's my brother's creation, it means that the Fireball spell must be at the level of a great mage."

Leona touched the ring with her finger and felt it slightly.

"The fire element reaction is very strong; it's definitely a fireball spell."

"Your brother really takes good care of you. The fireball spell he sealed away is quite powerful and easy to use, so you won't accidentally hurt yourself when you need to use it."

"You can take a closer look at this ring in your spare time. My brother's enchanting skills are pretty good. If you can learn anything from it, you'll definitely benefit a lot."

Dorothy held the ring in her palm.

Since acquiring the ring, she had never used it, only stringing it together and wearing it as a necklace around her neck as an ornament.

I never expected that the magic inside would be at the level of a great mage.

Although Dorothy's magic power is at the level of a great mage, her magical proficiency is insufficient, and in terms of power, she can only be judged as an intermediate mage.

From this perspective, the ring Leon gave me will be the most powerful attack I can master in the short term.

Leonce picked up a ground ore and held it in front of Dorothy.

"Today in class, I only briefly talked about the history of rune crafting and gave a simple demonstration of how to enchant items with runes."

"This ore has been processed to create a complete magical circuit. Use it to practice, slowly infusing your own magic into the ore until a complete rune is formed."

"Once you can fully enchant a rune into an ore, the next step is to enchant a rune into a magic core."

"Once these two steps are completed, it means your magic control is up to standard. Then you can use those inks to fully enchant the tools with runes."

Leonce pointed to the magic robe hanging on the wall.

"The magic robes we wear are enchanted with a complete rune, which is usually a shield spell, but some may also have a cleanse spell added."

"I'll demonstrate it for you."

As she spoke, Lyons extended her finger and touched the ore placed in the middle of the workbench.

Lyons concentrated her magic at her fingertips, which actually transformed into fine threads that were infused into the ore.

Under Dorothy's gaze, a symbol formed within the ore containing the source of the magic.

These are runes.

The effect of a single rune is very limited, and Dorothy recognized the meaning that the rune represented.

Leonce picked up the enchanted ore.

"It's done. Now that this ore has been enchanted with fire elemental runes, it can be used as coal."

Dorothy took the ore from Leona's hand and examined the runes inside closely.

The magic is well locked inside, but if you perceive it carefully, you will find that the magic inside is slowly dissipating. Once the magic is completely dissipated, the rune will lose its effect.

"Since it's just a practice tool, I didn't use any magic-sealing technology. Alright, now it's your turn." Leons took the ore from Dorothy's hand and placed it on the worktable.

Then she took a bottle of medicine from the side, sucked out a drop of the medicine with a straw, and gently dripped it onto the ore.

The potion quickly dissolved into the ore, and the runes within the ore were also rapidly dissolved.

There is no magic left inside now, just like when Leona took it out.

"The dissolving potion can dissolve these unprotected and unstable runes. If a mistake is made along the way, just add a drop."

Leonce placed the dissolving potion on the workbench and walked to the depths of the workshop, where a huge alchemical urn stood.

"Take your time practicing. I still have a lot of potion orders to complete."

After saying that, Leona went into work mode.

Dorothy poked the ore with her finger, slowly exhaled, and focused her mind.

Following Leons' example, I concentrated my magic on my fingers.

Then your fingertips touch the ore.

Dorothy tried to infuse her magic into the ore.

However, the magic dissipated shortly after it entered the ore.

"Tsk!"

Dorothy clicked her tongue.

She has a lot of magic, but she doesn't seem to be able to control it.

I glanced at my own panel.

Magic level 11.

In terms of skill level alone, I can perfectly control the magical power of a novice mage.

But those at the Grand Mage level won't work.

However, my intelligence is very high, and my mental strength should be enough to control my magic, so I can overcome it; I just haven't adapted to it yet.

Dorothy used meditation to calm her mind and continued to infuse magic into the ore.

As evening approached, the night gradually fell.

Leona gathered the last bottle of potion, tilted her head back, and stretched her body.

"Phew, I'm so tired, Dorothy. How's it going on your end?"

As she spoke, Leona looked in Dorothy's direction.

Dorothy was still intently working on the ore on the workbench.

However, judging from the progress alone, it doesn't seem to be going well.

Leonce took a closer look.

"Rune crafting requires a high level of magical energy. This is only your first attempt, so it's okay if you didn't succeed. You can take your time in the future."

"Let's head back now."

"Oh right, I was going to help you choose some other classes today, but I think I forgot..."

Leona was talking to herself when she realized that Dorothy wasn't answering her.

Then she lowered her head.

They noticed Dorothy staring intently at the ore in front of her.

Place your index fingers on either side of the ore with both hands.

The magic flowing from the fingertips is continuously injected into the ore.

A stable magical loop was successfully constructed by Dorothy.

"Phew~"

Dorothy finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She worked hard all day to build a magic loop.

Although it's still far from a complete rune, this is still progress.

Dorothy looked up and saw Leon standing next to her, and paused for a moment.

"Oh, sorry, Leons, I didn't notice you coming. Did you say anything?"

Leona reached out and gently patted Dorothy's head.

"I'm a little hungry. Let's go find Elor, and we can eat and chat."

"Oh." Dorothy nodded obediently.

The two tidied up the studio, Leons locked the door, set up a warning spell, and then left side by side.
