Chapter 678 - Project: Manifestation
A green energy beam was gently caressing Angor’s wounds.
The level-1 spell used by Sunders—Resuscitation—mended all damage left on Angor’s body and soul almost instantly. However, he still needed time and more meditation to recover mana and soul energy.
Angor still looked depressed, but he was in better shape now. A lot better.
Without waiting for his student to enjoy the regained vigor, Sunders lectured him, “While it is true that Soul Link will greatly improve your strength, try not to use cantrips in your soul form unless it’s necessary.”
Unleashing mana from one’s soul would temporarily make it vulnerable to foreign or even hostile mana in the environment, which would in turn dangerously burden their soul. The intelligence in the crystal also told Angor as much.
Angor acknowledged the suggestion with a nod.
“Since the crystal gave you enough knowledge, then there’s not much I need to tell you. Just be very careful.” Sunders returned to his writing desk. “Sigh… Thankfully, I’m no longer in the right age to envy other people. What you just gained under an hour is an extremely effective means of escaping from danger, which took me nearly 30 years to fully learn.”
However, a well-prepared wizard might receive enough assistance to finally create a new spell on their own, as shown in Greya’s case.
“Just like the last time, I can’t make sure whether the cantrip really belongs to me, or if it was simply a prank,” said Sunders as he shook his head again. “I still have a lot of questions about getting new cantrips. I’ll perform further assessment when you bring me more samples.”
Next, Angor took about half an hour to fully read Sunders’ research papers, while Sunders patiently answered some of his queries.
