The former is simply put, a substance that can be peeled off from a whole piece can be traced back to the whole itself, and it can also be found through a certain trace element to find its mass convergence point.
For the witch of Sleeping Island, this is undoubtedly a kind of survival-oriented ability. For example, as long as she holds a drop of fresh water in her hand, Akima can lead everyone to find a stream or lake; another example is based on the remaining fruit stones in animal excrement. She can determine the location and size of the orchard.
It is precisely because of this ability's great contribution to the team that several witches from the East Realm gathered together with her as the head and became a rather close small group.
However, in Roland's eyes, "tracing back to the source" is undoubtedly a pointer to discovering natural resources, and its versatility is even stronger than Sylvie's magic eye.
The reason is very simple. When Sylvie sees through the stratum, the mana consumption will increase exponentially, and the distance will be greatly reduced. She can also be competent for dividing the mining layer of the North Slope mining area. In addition, even if it is a shallow resource, it is difficult for her to distinguish the type and scale of the target. At most, she can only say that there is something underground, but she can't say what it is.
Akima has no such concerns at all, and can not only accurately locate a single resource, but also clearly know its reserves. If it is used in conjunction with Lucia's purification ability, maybe the entire periodic table of elements can be moved to the map of Greycastle.
When Roland studied geography, what impressed him the most was a map of the country full of various resources. Now that Graycastle has achieved nominal unity, he should also work hard in this direction and expand the source of raw materials to the whole country, even the dawn and fertile soil. Plains and so on.
But even if Akima was unwilling to help, it was not something that was irreversible to Neverwinter City. After all, resources would not run away. As long as he was given ample time, he could always achieve this goal.
Doris's "enchantment" is different.
Due to the lack of observation methods, he didn't even have access to the research of magic power. If he wanted to better control it, witches were the only way.
Demonization is such an incredible ability.
The description written by Wendy in the book is: it can make the magic attached to the dead object form a cycle, which greatly slows down the exhaustion and makes it seem like it has life.
Roland has reservations about this evaluation. He knows that the dead thing in the witch's mouth cannot have magic power is just a habitual statement - although in most cases, this law will take effect, but there is one exception, that is God. Stone of Punishment.
The joint experiment of Isabella and Agatha showed that the divine stone does possess magic power, or... the ability to attract magic power, which was originally the exclusive characteristic of the awakened. When Isabella smoothed out the interference area of the Divine Stone, a very small amount of magic power could be observed on its surface, but it only lasted for a few seconds. During the whole process, no third party injected magic power into it, so the remaining magic power must belong to the god stone itself.
In other words, although the Stone of God's Retaliation does not have a high concentration of magic power that can make other abilities ineffective, as he speculated before, it does contain magic power, but the content is extremely rare. As for why it can isolate the effect of the ability, it still needs to be studied. Roland can at least be sure that the statement that "magic repels dead things" is not completely correct.
Considering that the god stone adjusted by Isabella would soon turn into a mortal stone, Agatha made a bold guess: the magic power on the stone of punishment will continue to be lost, but it can continue to be like a living body. Take in new magic and make it a cycle, like sand on a beach, soaking up the sun during the day to warm it up and releasing it at night. Otherwise, it is impossible to explain that Isabella's ability did not involve the structure of the divine stone, but completely changed its nature.
She believes that the God Stone was "killed" by Isabella.
Wendy's statement obviously followed Agatha's conclusion.
Roland didn't care. He always felt that the divine stone ore vein was a dead thing, and the ability to breathe out magic power had nothing to do with whether it was alive or dead. It's like knowing nothing about the microscopic world.
Therefore, in his eyes, demonization can also be said to be a kind of "Shen Shihua".
Of course, whatever the truth is, the effect of this ability is beyond question. Tests have shown that it can take effect on targets such as magic stones, runes, and enchanted items, so that the magic power instilled on it can be replenished by itself, that is, it can be cycled.
For example, a "Dawn No. 1" copper rod filled with magic power can continue to generate electricity for five days. When Miyue holds the broken sword, the time can be extended to about half a month. Mana is always draining and never stays on the enchanted object.
This means that even if the magic power level of Mystery Moon is equal to Anna, it can only double the Dawning No. 1 running at the same time. Not to mention large-scale use, it is not even enough to meet the needs of factory lighting and equipment operation.
The Dawning No. 1, which has been enchanted by Doris, can absorb the ubiquitous magic power by itself to supplement the consumption gap, so that the magnetic pole conversion effect will take effect for a long time. Although the gains and losses are not completely equal, for short-term enchantments, the improvement is amazing enough.
It means that Mystery Moon will be freed from the work of charging maintenance and become a producer of energy.
It also means that many places other than factories can also use stable power.
At the same time, there are also many enchanting abilities that were originally tasteless, and they will also be reborn because of enchanting.
Even Agatha and Isabella can get a bunch of test items similar to the gods, which is very beneficial for further research on magic.
As for the shortcomings such as the extremely long casting time, low efficiency, and the magic power cycle will be interrupted by the divine stone, it is nothing compared to the ability itself.
Therefore, a witch like this, Roland wanted to stay no matter what.
After much deliberation, he could only try the sugar-coated cannonball attack.
- After all, he has never seen someone stronger than himself in terms of seducing others.
And the last one, No. 89 with a thin wrist, lives up to its name.
She is the daughter of a jeweler, and she is naturally good at carving. Not only is her wrist slender, but she is also very skilled in her hand, and can carve intricate patterns on the ring. After the awakening of the ability, this talent has made great progress, and the depiction speed has increased significantly, and it can be used on any material.
At first glance, Anna's Black Fire can easily do this, but she is a genius who has advanced twice. She is a high-level witch at the top of the Federation, and she is no longer on the same level as the former.
One of the things that Roland liked about thin wrists is that they can share Anna's workload, and precision manufacturing has never been too crowded. In Sleeping Island, she may just be a top craftsman who polishes delicate jewelry for nobles, but in Neverwinter, she can work with other witches to promote the progress of the times.
