Arcane Lord

Soon, a three-dimensional mesh mithril structure the size of a human head, with complex hollows and considerable aesthetics appeared in front of Sha Duo. He still maintained the [Mage's Hand] control over the mithril structure.

As the alchemy circle no longer provided melting power, the three-dimensional network structure quickly cooled down. Sha Duo picked up the mithril structural component and checked it again with the help of auxiliary wires.

"Not bad, you did it so perfectly the first time!" Xia Duo couldn't help but praise.

He realized that even if it was purely handmade, as long as there were enough reasonable auxiliary facilities (spells), precise structural parts could be produced.

At this point, if it is just a disposable spell-casting instrument similar to a magic scroll, then it will be fine now.

And this mithril structural part can also be reused.

Of course, this is not what Sha Duo wants!

It's really not cost-effective to spend such a long time making a one-time magic instrument. It would be better to make several magic scrolls if you have this time!

Although the cost so far seems to be only mithril, the depreciation cost of the alchemy circle and the energy cost of oneself far exceed the mithril itself.

Unless large-scale automated production is possible, so that the cost of mithril structural parts can be reduced to close to the material itself, otherwise, this mithril structural part will be quite expensive.

Different from the magic items made with the constancy spell, the key to reusability of the method Sha Duo is using now lies in artificially constructing the energy core of the spell.

This energy core is not for storing energy, but for excitation, exchange, and circulation of energy.

In layman's terms, this technology is similar to the principle of automatic loading of bullets in modern rifles. Use the energy core to guide and utilize the excess energy when the spell is activated, and reload the spell.

Energy cores usually need to be made with gems. Depending on the energy required for the spell, the types of gems required for production are also different.

Generally, they are four-color gemstones, representing the four elements of earth, fire, water, and wind.

The mithril structure made by Sha Duo is the elemental projection of the 2nd ring [Confinement Sphere], or the spell structure, which represents all the details of the birth of this spell from the magic network.

This is equivalent to the plane graphics required by the magic scroll. Although one looks flat and the other looks three-dimensional, this is arcane geometry, and its essence is still the combination of the strings of the magic network.

Three-dimensional graphics are simpler, while flat graphics can be understood as condensed and complex.

Because it was just his first time practicing, Xia Duo didn't care whether he could really succeed, but rather a complete experience opportunity.

After the mithril structural parts were completed, he began to build wooden supports to fix the complex and precise three-dimensional mesh structure, which was the size of a human head, on an ordinary workbench.

And the space left in a specific location is prepared to place the energy core, which is the four-color gemstone.

[Confinement Sphere] is a force field spell that requires four kinds of gems as the core for energy stimulation and circulation. In addition, pure white crystal is needed as the core for energy exchange.

Gemstones are also ready-made and prepared in advance. They can be large, but not small.

After all the gems are installed (placed), the magic item that can activate the 2-ring [Confinement Sphere] is more than half done.

The last step is to connect the magic network, which requires the caster to do it in person.

Looking at the entire production process, Xia Duo felt that this was the only step that could not get rid of the caster. The other steps could be processed in batches if the industrial capacity was strong enough.

Just like the magic scroll, Xia Duo once thought about using printing to make it, but every time he thought about the last step of connecting the magic network, he had to give up.

Even if there are countless quasi-magical scrolls placed in front of him, he can only make so many every day. It is impossible for him to dig out more time from the gap in time!

I have experience in making magic scrolls. Although it is a three-dimensional projection of elements, it is not very difficult for Sha Duo. The process of linking the magic network is very smooth, even easier than making the [Confinement Sphere] scroll. .

After a while, Sha Duo successfully made the first magic item in his life.

Although it looks so simple, the mithril structural parts and energy core are all fixed on the workbench with wooden brackets.

Not to mention, the key structure is directly exposed. It is estimated that any child can destroy this very expensive magic item with a casual knock.

"try it!"

Now that the production was successful, Xia Duo could not help but try it. This step should have been put in the magic laboratory.

But because the magic item he made cannot be moved, he can only experiment here. Fortunately, he is now the acting tower master, and there is no way the tower spirit can hurt him.

Of course, he himself would not forget to add protective spells to himself.

--excitation!

A force field ball the size of a marble appeared instantly. Sha Duo did not control it very much, but threw it directly to the corner of the room, where there was a chair.

The force field ball quickly grew in size during its flight, and the moment it touched the chair, it enveloped it. The aura flickered, and Xia Duo estimated that it would last for about half an hour.

Big success!

Sha Duo laughed happily. This was even smoother than the first time he made a magic scroll. It was incredible!

Immediately afterwards, Xia Duo observed this simple-looking but fully functional magic item. After using it once, the magic aura began to fluctuate regularly.

Just wait until it calms down and you can use it again.

This time is generally determined based on the different spells and the number of energy cores. Some can be used multiple times in a row, but it takes longer to recover.

This one made by Xia Duo can theoretically be restored in a few hours.

It has already taken most of a day, and I don't care if I wait a few more hours. If it were any other mage, the time needed for just that mithril structural component would be counted in days.

So Xia Duo took out one of the books "Soulology" to pass the time.

In the past few days, whenever he has free time, he will take out theoretical books and read them. As for practical books, he will read them in the magic laboratory so that he can experiment at any time.

Time passed minute by minute.

Suddenly, Xia Duo suddenly raised his head and looked at the workbench. Sure enough, the magic item flashed violently, as if it was going to explode the next moment.

Xia Duo was excited and subconsciously ran outside. As soon as he reached the door, the workbench exploded, and all kinds of energy were everywhere.

The tower spirit's reaction was very immediate, and it blocked those energies before they could touch Xia Duo.

The burst of energy was only for a moment, and there was no abnormality in the magic network itself. It was not like the magic network rioting in the Mystic Ruins.

Returning to the workbench, the originally good magic item has now changed its appearance. The mithril structural parts are slightly twisted and deformed. Most of the wooden supports have been burnt to charcoal, and a few parts are covered with a layer of frost.

As for the gems that were the core of the energy, Xia Duo picked through the wreckage and found less than half of them in the end, while the rest were damaged.

“It’s a waste of time and money!”

Originally, Xia Duo planned to keep this magic item well, and perhaps it could be used as a teaching tool in the future!
