The 9th level [Prayer] and the 7th level [Limited Wishes] are the mage's true magic oil spells. As long as the "casting materials" are enough, these two spells can do a lot of things.
The essence of [Prayer Technique] is a bit like "Tai Shang Laojun is as urgent as a law", it is to pray for help from passing or designated "gods".
Most of those who respond to the 7-level limited wish spell are some divine creatures or powerful spirits. For example, the two dinosaur demigod spirits wandering in Chult can respond to the [limited wish spell].
The 9th level [Prayer] can pray for the help of some powerful demigods, or even some interested gods. In most cases, it is the demigods who respond to the prayer.
In addition to preparing valuable "tributes" as casting materials, the mage must also pay for some mysterious soul energy (in the game, it requires experience for upgrading) to cast a prayer spell.
It is best for the mage to have a good relationship with the demigod he is praying to, and sign a contract or something.
Because the god who responds to the wish cannot "reject" the wish, if your tribute is not enough to pay the price of the wish, most responders will make this deal by distorting their understanding of [wish].
For example, if you ask to be called the Lord of the World, He may send you directly to a lifeless plane or something like that...
If the relationship is not strong enough, anything can happen under the prayer spell. After all, there is a word "prayer", and this type of transaction cannot be completely equal.

After learning about the magic of prayer with Master Yiwen, Victor touched his chin and thought for a while.
He actually wanted to experience the power of the so-called "gods", which was the "arrogant" thought he developed as a pirate. However, the Taoist thoughts in his previous life about "building walls high, hoarding food widely, and becoming king slowly" still had some influence on him.
Not a low impact.
Three completely different world experiences and two different lives gave this 6.38 meter tall man a moment of hesitation.
"Then when will Master Matthew come back?"
Victor asked aloud. The conversation he had just had with the Archmage had attracted all the eyes in the study.
"The handover related to Black Dragon's defense will take four days at the earliest."
Ivan thought for a moment and then replied in an uncertain tone.
"Maybe later!"
The speaker was the "Scribe" mage who was following the Elf King. After receiving Estes' questioning look, he continued to explain:
"Master Matthew set out to pick up Princess Kate last night. Her Royal Highness Kate led the team to attack the Dragon Cult's stronghold and killed the Necromancer Purple Shirt Samuel Doe."
"Well done!"
Estes praised loudly, with a proud look on his face. It seemed that he was not opposed to his daughter, a princess, venturing deep into the enemy's lair, but was very supportive...
The Cult of the Dragon (Dragon Witch Cult) is a group of cultists who preach that "dracolich" will eventually rule the world. Most of its members are necromancers. The top leaders of the organization are a group of magic masters wearing purple robes - [Purple Shirts]
who].
Although the founder of this sect, the Lich Sammaster, has died at the hands of the true god Lathander, the Dragon Cult has not become weaker because of this, but has spread more widely.
Because they accepted the job of taking care of the dragon's cubs - that is, nannies.
Some powerful evil dragons are unwilling to take responsibility for their growth after laying eggs, and sometimes it is difficult to abandon them directly due to the inheritance obligations of the group and the requirements of the five-color dragon queen Tiamat.
Therefore, many parents of five-color dragons leave their young dragons to the Dragon Worship Cult to raise them, and the Dragon Worship Cult is happy to do so because they can gain the favor of the giant dragons.
Even if the adult dragon chooses to leave, it will bring a huge "dragon vein" relationship to the organization.
Over time, the Dragon Cult has developed more prosperously in Faerûn than most cult groups. In this huge organization that has a good relationship with dragons, how many people still believe in the main theme of "the dragon of death rules the world"?
Anyway, the five-color dragon doesn't care about this belief. And for most mages, what does it mean to use the "dragon vein" of the Dragon Worship Cult to gain their own interests?
It is said that these two black dragons have the experience of being raised by the Dragon Worship Cult, so they support the Dragon Worship Cult's mages in establishing a stronghold near their territory.
The cultist businessman that the paladin exposed in Mist Town was the Dragon Cult's conspiracy to erode the power of the elves on behalf of the dragon.

"So it will take Master Matthew longer to get back here?"
After listening to the paladin's brief introduction to the Dragon Cult, Victor asked.
"Yes, and I need to take over his job now, and we must not relax our defense of the black dragon for a moment!"
Ivan's request was approved by the Archmage, and then he nodded to the Elf King and the adventurers, and then disappeared in a hurry - [Teleportation].
The black dragon is a true dragon that is more evil and more cunning than the green dragon. Of course, in terms of strength, they are slightly weaker than the green dragon at the same age.
"Hey! Is there no other mage in such a big mage tower?"
Victor asked doubtfully.
"In fact, there are currently only four high-level mages in the entire Elf Kingdom, Master Matthew, Mage Ivan stationed at South Wind Fortress, Mage Lena Luthor at Green Forest Fortress, and Your Excellency Felix."
"The secretary" said
"I see!"
So it took fifty years to cultivate such a few crooked melons and cracked dates? Victor secretly cursed.
In fact, he underestimated the difficulty of training a mage. A person with good talent needs no less than five years of teaching from apprentice to low-level mage, from learning basic magic tricks to the basic legal model of the 8 universities.
Basic knowledge on various magical creatures/runes/experiments/materials/history, etc. would take up a lot of time in the entire compulsory education on earth.
For example, language, the most basic requirement for a mage to cast spells is to learn dragon language - there is no so-called dragon language magic in Faerûn, it can also be said that all magic is dragon language magic.
Dragon Language has the inherent ability to mobilize the magic network. In fact, some mages have published the theory that "Dragon Language came first, then the dragon".
——The language for mobilizing the magic network exists naturally, but in this era only dragons use it as the language of communication for their own race, so it is called dragon language.
Of course, not all dragon languages have magical power. In order to facilitate communication with their relatives, even giant dragons need some "slang".
Human magic was originally learned from elves, so to read some original documents, you need to be familiar with the elven language.
In order to be able to create or identify magic items, most mages also need to learn dwarf "runes". Of course, in order to understand them more thoroughly, dwarf language is also very important.
There are also "celestial languages" that are convenient for dealing with celestial creatures, "devil languages" that are used to understand devil's contracts, "devil languages" that are used to identify evil sacrifices, etc.
——A polymath is not necessarily a mage, but a mage must be a polymath.
Such a noble mage would only choose to "go into the jungle" with adventurers under very special circumstances.

"If possible, can I choose the wish spell?"
The muscular man still prefers "Victor" in One Piece. As time goes by, perhaps "Chen Chen" on earth will eventually "die".
Human growth is the process of killing the past self!
"Your Excellency is very anxious to recover from your injuries?"
The sound that shook the air came from Archmage Felix's question.
"This state of not being able to use my full strength makes me very uneasy. It's not my style to watch other people fighting for time for me!"
The muscular man looked at his fisted hands and said:
“And some people can’t wait any longer.”
When the paladin heard this, his eyes narrowed and he asked:
"Who is it?"
Victor didn't speak, he just looked up at the seemingly endless bookshelf...
