After several years of accumulation of experiments, plus this period of learning from the old Haydn, and more than two months of meditation feedback, just a moment ago, Isaac finally took office as a mage.
However, he didn't even have time to realize the series of changes brought about by taking office, and a choice suddenly appeared in his heart.
With the connection to the essence of magic, Isaac was naturally sure that this choice came from it.
"Specialize in faction, specialize in undead, specialize in changes, or, don't choose specialization, generalist mage..."
When the choice appeared, Isaac also understood everything about the three options.
The essence of magic has nine different attributes, eight of which correspond to the eight factions of magic, namely "protection system, conjuration system, prophecy system, charm control system, evocation system, illusion system, necromancy system, and transformation system".
Outside these eight factions, all are classified as common spells, which correspond to the ninth attribute of the essence of magic.
When taking office, a mage must make a choice, whether to specialize in a certain faction, or to give up specialization and become a generalist mage.
If you choose specialization, the mage will be more closely connected to the magical essence corresponding to this faction, and at each spell level, you can obtain an additional special spell slot to prepare the spells of the specialized faction.
But at the same time, he must also choose one or two factions as forbidden factions. He will no longer get any response from the magic essence corresponding to these factions, and even the magic scrolls and staffs of the forbidden factions cannot be used.
Just like now, the choice that appears in Isaac's mind is that he can choose to specialize in one of the two factions.
Needless to say, the transformation system is the essence of magic that resonates with his own experiments.
The necromancy department was taught by old Haydn.
For a moment, an idea came to Isaac's mind.
Old Haydn was so cooperative and even so active in teaching him magic. Could this be the purpose?
But when meditating, he couldn't be distracted too much. He could only suppress his thoughts temporarily, and then think about it again when it was over.
"If you choose the transformation system or the necromancy system, you must give up the two factions other than the prophecy system..."
Realizing that he was a little unsure, Old Haydn never mentioned the choice of employment to him, nor did he tell him about the advantages and disadvantages of other factions besides the Necronomicon faction, or what necessary spells they had...
How does this make him choose?
But after a moment of hesitation, Isaac quickly made a decision.
"You can only choose a generalist!"
Each level of spells loses one spell slot of the specialized faction, which is certainly a loss.
But it might be better to have two more factions of spells to learn and prepare.
After all, since it is divided into eight major factions, each faction must have its own advantages. Giving up some factions casually may cause greater losses to him.
After making a choice in his consciousness, the connection between the magic essence and him finally returned to normal.
At this time, Isaac had time to experience a series of changes brought about by taking office.
The first is within consciousness.
"Knowledge related to familiars and making magic scrolls."
"This should be considered a mage's specialty."
"In addition, although it is just a feeling, the intelligence and consciousness intensity should also be strengthened to a certain extent."
Isaac's consciousness "looked" outside again, looking at some places where he was "connected" with the essence of magic.
"Spell slot!"
Consciousness can clearly perceive their existence, and they are closely connected with consciousness, but Isaac cannot describe their characteristics.
There is only one feeling that these "spell slots" are something similar to "storage permissions" given to him by the essence of magic.
He can prepare a spell that is very complicated and may take a long time to complete here in advance, and when it is needed, he can release it through some spells, gestures, or some materials.
“It’s so interesting!”
Isaac couldn't help but think of a lot.
For example, his green dragon identity brings spell-like abilities.
Just like his previous guesses about the nature of each profession.
Even, because of the ideas of "storage" and "authority", he also thought of the extremely interesting network in his dream life.
Faintly, he seemed to realize something, but it was vague and he couldn't say what it was.
"Write these down first and hang them in the laboratory memo."
After pausing these thoughts, Isaac looked at the spell slot again.
As a newly promoted first-level mage, he has 3 zero-level magic slots and 2 first-level spell slots.
His consciousness told him that one of the first-level spell slots was the response of the essence of magic to his intelligence, while the others were all brought about by the mage level.
"Let's try it first."
With peace of mind, Isaac began to recall the spell.
He didn't learn anything else from Old Haydn, but he was still exposed to necromancy tricks.
Level 0 cantrip "Touch of Fatigue"!
After a while of memories, Isaac's consciousness slowly made some contact with the essence of magic through a spell slot.
Where the spell slot is, magic words begin to emerge, and inscriptions are flowing...
…
This night of meditation was particularly long.
After exiting the meditation, he immediately entered the laboratory and recorded all the gains and knowledge, including some conjectures.
When Isaac finally cleared his mind, the bright moon had moved to the west of the night sky.
"Is there anything wrong with old Haydn?"
His thinking returned to the track beyond knowledge.
"Does he intentionally want me to choose to specialize in undead?"
"But if I choose to specialize in undead, what good will it do to him?"
Isaac's eyes wrinkled slightly.
I feel like I'm still not sure yet.
After all, Old Haydn didn't know about his accumulation of experiments, and naturally he never expected that as a green dragon, he could officially become a mage so quickly.
However, it is not certain for the time being, and it is only for the time being!
"Hold it for now. Don't let anyone know about the appointment for the time being. In this way, if old Haydn has only taught me the necromancy system and only emphasized to me the power of the necromancy system, it probably means that he has taught me magic.
It has a purpose!”
"After all, he himself has used spells from other departments."
"I hope not."
Isaac, from the bottom of his heart, didn't want this to come true.
After all, the Dragon Queen entrenched in hell has always taught them that they must be sincere and enthusiastic towards their friends.
Keeping this thought that he shouldn't have in his heart, as if nothing had happened, Isaac continued to study, experiment, and meditate every day. By the way, he didn't forget to give him a message the next day.
Get a shot yourself.
The time soon came half a year later.
A familiar feeling of sleepiness began to appear in his life.
Unable to cheer up for anything and feeling lethargic.
And every time he fell asleep, a lot of things were stuffed into his brain.
His body shape also began to change rapidly.
Isaac knows that his growing season has arrived!
After taking magic hormone for so long, he has finally entered the growth period!
