Lord of Spells from Faerûn

Drizzt was facing a formidable enemy. He looked at the crystal in Imric's hand with vigilance. He knew that this evil crystal would control people's hearts. He stammered and said, "Yi Xiaoyi, why did you take it back?" , it’s a dangerous thing and we should get rid of it.”

He was afraid that his companions would also follow Kessell's path. Imric was no ordinary mage. If even he fell into the clutches of the Shattered Crystal, Icewind Valley, no, the entire Faerûn continent would be destroyed. A disaster!

Imric chuckled and shook his head without saying a word. The broken magic crystal in his hand made a sound: "You don't need to worry, humble dark elf. My master's power is far beyond your imagination. I have no ability to change him." Thought, on the contrary, I have devoted myself wholeheartedly to my master, even if he asks me to do such disgusting things as helping people in need, I will do it."

Imrik said indifferently: "Clinshinibon, Drizzt is a man worthy of respect, with a correct attitude."

The broken magic crystal emitted a burst of light changes, and it seemed that his heart was extremely complicated, but then he said resignedly: "Yes, I'm sorry, Mr. Drizzt, please forgive my attitude."

Drizzt's face was shocked, and his expression was as frightening as when he saw the Lord of the Morning descending to earth and making peace with the Six Fingers of the Demon Prince of the Abyss in public. He couldn't believe that the arrogant Shattered Demon Crystal was so respectful to Imric.

He said dryly: "It's okay, I don't mind, as long as you be a good person from now on, no, just be a good Jing is enough."

The broken magic crystal was speechless for a while. It even felt that if this dark elf was not too righteous, his IQ might be his perfect puppet host.

Imric smiled and said: "Look, don't worry, Drizzt. I am different from Kessell. I am the master of Clinshinibon, not the other way around. I am here to say goodbye to you. I I will return to the Sword Coast and will not come to Icewind Dale again in the short term."

A trace of reluctance flashed in Drizzt's eyes after hearing this. Having fought side by side with Imrik twice, he already regarded him as his true companion in death, just like Bruno, but he knew that the world would not be broken up. The banquet, any adventure, has its end.

He was silent for a while, and this normally eloquent elf condensed thousands of words into a simple sentence. He whispered:

"Take care, my friend, and may Mielikki protect you."

Imric was stunned for a moment, and he said softly: "Take care, my friend, and always remember not to hide yourself in front of me."

Imric's figure disappeared, but his voice still floated in the wind. An invisible thought lifted Drizzt's hood, revealing a head of silver hair and dark skin shining in the sun.

Drizzt stared blankly at the air, stroked his hood, and murmured to himself: "Hide yourself no more."

——

Three days later, Imric stood in the central hall of [Twilight Star], with a purple crystal suspended in front of his eyes. A hint of joy flashed in his eyes. With the active cooperation of the broken magic crystal, the synchronization was completed abnormally. Quickly, now, all the functions of this artifact were unfolded in front of him. He was pleasantly surprised to find that the power of the broken magic crystal was far more powerful than he imagined.

Clinshinibon is a darkest evil artifact. Its creation process is full of coincidences. Millions of years ago, seven legendary lichs with extremely high caster levels performed rituals together in an attempt to create an artifact that could control the power of sunlight. artifact.

The ritual was successful, but also very unsuccessful, because the artifact was successfully born, but its creator was directly destroyed.

Clinshinibon was successfully born. Not only that, it possessed extraordinary wisdom just after it was born. Its evil instinct prompted it to drain the power and origin of seven lichs who were close to quasi-gods through rituals, so that It became a powerful artifact that lasted forever.

Not only that, Clinshinibon also absorbed the wisdom of seven lichs, which allowed it not only to cast a variety of powerful spells, but also to have a more intelligent will than ordinary artifacts.

Clinshinibon can extract the most feared power of undead creatures - sunlight as the source of energy, and store it in the body. The broken magic crystal (or the magic crystal tower containing this artifact) can absorb 12 It can store up to 144 energy level units. Every two hours, Clinshinibon will slowly lose 2 energy levels (the energy is simply lost).

At the will of the wielder, the relic burns power levels to create spell effects, with each level of spell effect costing one power level. Although spell effects persist at night, the relic cannot create new spell effects after the sun sets below the horizon. When the spell is cast, the sun's light disappears, as if the relic had actually stolen it.

To put it simply, this artifact can consume energy to cast spells during the day. A one-level spell consumes one level of energy, and a nine-level spell consumes nine levels of energy. The most special thing is that Clinshinibon can consume ninety-nine levels of energy. A level of energy to cast the legendary spells learned by the seven lichs back then!

Most of the spells Clinshinibon knows are the spells possessed by the soul fragments of the seven lichs back then, so they are not comprehensive. Generally speaking, it can cast the following spells (when Clinshinibon casts spells , the casting level is that of an eighteenth-level spellcaster):

1. The broken magic crystal can be used as a powerful destructive tool. The owner can cast any offensive wizard spell of the evocation school, requiring one power level for each spell level.

2. This artifact can also be used as a control tool. The holder can cast any enchantment spell. Each spell level requires an energy level.

3. Clinshinibon can also be used as a powerful detection tool. The mirror located on the fourth floor of the Magic Crystal Tower can be used as a crystal ball. The owner of the broken magic crystal can cast any mage spell belonging to the prophecy system, and can also cast the power equivalent to the domination token through the mirror. Each spell level requires an energy level.

If the mirror is removed from the magic crystal tower, it can serve as a two-way communication tool, allowing the owner of the broken magic crystal in the mirror room in the magic crystal tower to communicate with the person standing in front of the distant mirror. Just standing in front of the mirror will send a communication request to the owner of the broken magic crystal. Through the mirror in the tower, the owner can reach the location of the distant mirror.

4. Magic crystals can also facilitate more convenient magic transmission. The owner can cast any wizard teleportation spell of 8th level and lower

Moreover, all spells can be cast through the magic crystal tower transformed from broken magic crystals. The spells cast in this way will have no distance limit! But it will still be affected by the horizon.

Such a powerful effect of the Magic Crystal Tower does not come without a price. The holder must build or maintain the Magic Crystal Tower at the cost of 24 energy levels per day. In other words, when that idiot Kessell built three Magic Crystal Towers, Taking up 72 energy levels a day! No wonder after casting the legendary spell, both magic crystal towers were drained of their power.

The magic crystal tower is extremely powerful. First of all, the holder can teleport the entire magic crystal tower and everything in it to any location at the cost of 12 energy levels.

Secondly, the Magic Crystal Tower and its residents are immune to all external magic, psychic powers and physical attacks. No magical or psionic effects cast within the Tower can affect the owner of Clinshinibon unless he wishes. Any spell effects cast against the tower will bounce back to the caster.

The Magic Crystal Tower has four square floors made of smooth and hard crystal. It has various rooms like an incomplete mage tower. The first floor with the dark corridor is used as the main room and guard point. There are stairs at the back of the room that lead to a small platform.

A secret door hides a staircase leading to the second level, which houses a cozy living room.

A staircase leads to the third floor, which is called the "Hall of Detection" and is filled with magical detection devices, including a dozen mirrors and a gorgeous crystal throne.

A small ladder leads to the fourth level where a Shard of Magic Crystal (or a replica thereof) and a mirror are located. This artifact (or a replica thereof) floats in the center of the room, supporting the crystal tower and any spell effects the owner desires.

In addition, the broken magic crystal also has some functions that can be used at will without consuming energy, such as:

1. Both the Magic Crystal Tower and the Broken Magic Crystal can emit a burst of dazzling light waves, blinding any creature that sees them.

2. The broken magic crystal can cast the five-ring spell [telekinesis] at any time, just like the 18th-level mage cast.

3. The broken magic crystal can exert power like [Domination Token] at will, and its effect is equivalent to the five-ring spell [Dominate Humans] or the nine-ring spell [Dominate Monsters].

"As for the last function, every ten times you use it, your intelligence will be permanently reduced, Master." Magic Crystal Broken said carefully.

Imric raised his eyebrows. Is this why Kessell's IQ seemed so weak? He then said, "Is this price necessary?"

Broken Demon Crystal said flatteringly: "Of course not, my master, I can close it at any time at this price. This is just one of the ways I control those stupid puppets."

Imrik smiled in his heart. He knew that this was the Magic Crystal Shard taking the initiative to please him, letting him know how he was different from other Magic Crystal Shard owners, but Imrik didn't care. He knew that the only one who could control the Magic Crystal Shard was The reason is that he has the means to check and balance the other party and the Styx Contract he signed.

Imric put away the broken magic crystal. Through this well-informed artifact, he learned many very high-end secrets.

For example, the realm above legend is called [quasi-god], which is a divine realm with a godhead of 0. Those who reach this realm are seed players who may become gods.

In addition, above [quasi-god], there are [weak divine power], [weak divine power], [medium divine power], and [strong divine power].

These existences are too far away from the mortal world, and even the Shattered Demon Crystal doesn't know their specific situation.
