After hearing that there was no need to copy spell books anymore, Zhao Xu had already begun to make plans.
When mages copy spells, the first difficulty is whether they can find the spells to copy, and the second is paying for the cost of copying.
But he leaned against Antinoya and borrowed it shamelessly. Even if the other party took the money, he would probably give him a discount. Then his main difficulty was the loss of the spell.
Now that this expertise has been saved for him, he has no worries at all.
Thinking of this, Zhao Xu nodded and said: "Instructor, I choose this specialty."
Antinoya was a little surprised when she heard what he said. She thought for a moment and then said: "Okay, I will-"
"Huh? Tutor?" Zhao Xu was particularly surprised when he saw the other party suddenly stop.
"Um, I'm sorry, I just searched my memory. I found that after the Cataclysm, the Wisdom Heart Spellcaster changed from a specialty to a professional characteristic. Obviously it was still a specialty when I learned it."
Zhao Xu's eyebrows moved slightly. The professional characteristics are all possessed by people who work in this profession.
But there are also some career features that are optional.
The way to choose these professional characteristics is to give up some original professional characteristics as a price.
At this time, Antinoya had already explained to him: "According to the new requirements, the price of the professional characteristic of 'intelligent spellcaster' is to give up the two professional characteristics of transcribing scrolls and summoning magic pets."
"Mentor, are these two professional characteristics important?"
Zhao Xu didn't know much about the inside story of these mages, but that didn't stop him from asking for advice.
"Summoning a Demon Pet. If you don't follow the Demon Pet stream, it won't be a big problem to give up. And we originally planned to arrange another specialty for you, so it wouldn't be a pity to give up."
"As for the professional feature of transcribing scrolls, it is quite important for the mage. The scroll can replace the mage's spell slot, which prevents the mage from mastering the spell but not being able to release it temporarily because he has not prepared the corresponding spell."
"Therefore, when faced with some unusual special situations, it is unrealistic for mages to prepare spells every day to deal with them, so they all prepare scrolls."
After hearing Antinoya's explanation, Zhao Xu lowered his head and made some calculations. If he gave up, it would mean that he would have to buy scrolls in the future instead of producing some by himself.
"Of course, if you are willing to spend a expertise, you can also master the ability of 'copying scrolls' through expertise learning."
After hearing this, Zhao Xu's thoughts slowly came back.
The professional ability of copying scrolls is also a specialty that can be learned. This is not surprising to him. Otherwise, if the priest does not have this professional ability, where would the divine scrolls on the market come from.
It wasn't created by a priest who spent a lot of time learning to copy scrolls.
In other words, a level 1 mage will receive the "Scroll of Transcription" feat for free.
But in this case, the price of the wise caster will be clear.
The price of a feat and the ability to summon a familiar.
Summoning a familiar is a unique ability for mages and warlocks, and it is also a valuable expertise.
What's going on with this catastrophe? It actually caused the price of abilities to rise.
What used to be the price of one specialty now costs two.
"Also, after choosing the ability of the Wisdom Heart Spellcaster, although you don't have to consume materials to copy, you still have to pay a similar price to stimulate your spirit."
Zhao Xu's face turned bitter on the spot.
Wasn't it teasing him to wait until the last moment
"Teacher, who else can awaken this ability like this?" Zhao Xu said word by word.
He didn't need to go into details, it was all obvious.
He copied the spell into his own memory.
Naturally, he couldn't provide the spell book for others to copy, and he couldn't receive the loan fee.
That's all. The problem is that Antinoya just told him about the "Book of Blessings", something that a mage covets.
If he uses Wisdom to cast spells, wouldn't he be able to enjoy the cost of 12.5GP per page? Instead, it became the original price of 50 GP per page for copying other people's spell books.
The price increased fourfold out of thin air.
If the Wisdom Heart Spellcaster also had 12.5 GP per page, then he would admit it.
"Don't you think it's nice not to have to bring a spell book?" Antinoya said, her tone full of the feeling that a full man doesn't know how hungry a hungry man is.
"To prepare spells every day, I have to take out spell books one after another. It's very tiring. Not to mention that this thing has a weight. Even if you carry a dimensional bag, it's still very annoying."
After hearing these words, Zhao Xu's mood finally became more stable.
A mage needs a spell book to prepare spells, so indeed the spell book becomes the key to the mage.
When I was raided in the middle of the night, I had to grab my spell book and run away.
Before getting the cheapest dimensional bag, which costs 2500 GP, players have to carry those books on their backs.
It's just a dimensional bag, and the cheapest model can hold two hundred kilograms of stuff. An ordinary spell book weighing two or three kilograms can hold dozens of books, which is more than enough.
"Teacher, let's forget it." Zhao Xu said after careful consideration.
Just be tired if you feel tired, money is still important.
"Okay, anyway, this ability can only be selected at level 1, so you can change it before completing the training."
After hearing what Antinoya said, Zhao Xu felt a little confused again.
Sometimes, there is no choice, but you can go straight.
Players like him would be troubled if they had choices that other players didn't have.
But Zhao Xu suddenly thought that Antinoya said that "wisdom-hearted spellcaster" was her specialty when she learned it, so it would only cost less than Zhao Xu to be able to summon a magic pet.
In other words, Antinoya also spent 50 GP per page to record spells.
Everyone’s legendary mages choose this way, so they won’t choose randomly, right
"Tutor, was there any other reason why you chose this one?" Zhao Xu continued to ask for advice.
However, Antinoya was still happy to explain Zhao Xu's doubts, "Well, the route I took at that time was to fight, and I definitely didn't want to leave a weakness like the spell book."
"Furthermore, you actually have an advantage. If you go to work as a 'documentary scholar' at level 2, copying scrolls is also one of the professional characteristics of the dossier scholar."
Hearing this, Zhao Xu almost slapped his thigh.
No matter how you listen to it, it sounds like Antinoya is teasing him on purpose without saying it first.
A specialty is very expensive.
He chose the human race and was given a bonus specialty.
Zhao Xu could only grit his teeth and said, "Teacher, then I'd better choose this replacement ability."
Zhao Xu made the deal by exchanging the ability to summon a familiar for one that would cost more but didn't require a spell book.
"Okay, someone will bring over the awakening method of this ability later."
Zhao Xu glanced around the room. Except for the slowly rising incense in the corner, there was nothing strange about the medieval-style furniture.
He knew that Antinoya had installed an alarm spell, but there must be no one listening.
"What are you thinking? I can instantly cast a telepathic communication spell. With your current spell recognition ability, can you tell that I cast the spell?"
Antinoya chuckled.
Zhao Xu could only smile awkwardly, but he began to think about the future in his heart.
After learning this ability, he at least has no weaknesses in the spell book. He will not be blinded like other mage players if the spell book is stolen or destroyed.
At least during the hour of preparing the spell, he didn't have to be so afraid of a surprise attack.
