Warlock Apprentice

Time flew by.

Two days later, Angor exited his basement lab while rubbing his swollen eyes. The space storage had moved to the top of his task list. During these days, he carefully went over everything, including materials and detailed crafting steps.

After making sure everything was correct, he rested in his bedroom. When he woke up, he went to check the plan again before finally getting to work.

This one was different compared to everything he made before. It was easy in terms of mana management. He only needed to create a covenant rune in the end. However, the requirement for pacing and detail maintenance was the hardest one he had ever seen.

He had to ensure the correct time length for each step, down to every second, and the weight of materials in each spoon, down to micrograms. Also, he needed to maintain the right temperatures and moisture…

He left the camera of his tablet switched on so that he could check his moves later.

The first try failed.

Any alchemist would consider it impossible to craft a multi-purpose space storage. However, Angor could find many example cases from his alchemy books which could help him. He couldn’t read them before due to his lack of experience. But now, he could finally put them to use.

There was one such example that explained how to add new effects to a space storage by attuning inserted runes synchronously.

For example, when Angor was applying a rune to his ring, he could cast two Hands of Spell, where one would keep working on the rune while the other one began to craft a space gem.

During the finishing touch of the rune, he had to have the extra gem ready. He would then embed the gem onto the ring. Thereafter, he should land the last line of the rune on the gem and apply the covenant rune on the gem instead, before condensing the completed item lodged with a gem.

There were many conditions to finish such a job.

First, a large amount of mana, which was easily manageable using an Energy Stabilizer. However, this meant burning money.

The second was multitasking. He had to maintain two Hands of Spell and ensure both hands performed flawless jobs. It wasn’t hard either; any wizard who could do deep meditation could split his or her logic into two. Angor only needed some practice beforehand.

The third requirement was time management. He had to proceed with two tasks at the same time while ending them both at the same time. It was just a math problem—he might set up an alert in his tablet which kept him informed of the progression of his tasks at all times.

All in all, the problems only looked complicated. If he tackled them one by one… he didn’t actually need much effort.

An ordinary alchemist might back off at the challenge, but Angor wouldn’t. After all, he had all the available textbooks and the hologram tablet for help.

With his great ambition in mind, he started making plans for his invention.
