Chapter 261 Casting magic?
It wasn’t just that Pet Twain had never heard of magic with similar effects.
Even Maren, a blacksmith, did not know that there was a casting magic that could strengthen the already formed equipment.
The dwarves have received magic from the God of Forging. The main feature is that they can use the distorted materials from monsters as raw materials in the building process to form better quality, more durable or more powerful equipment, and can even produce equipment similar to Additional effects such as "protection" and "charge".
But after the equipment is produced and finalized, the effect of casting the magic is over.
The next step is to add the blessing of glow magic or the enchantment magic mastered by the gray dwarves.
Unless it is recast, separated, the original equipment is smelted into a material state, and other better raw materials are added to it.
But that process is essentially equivalent to recreating it all over again.
It still doesn't count as strengthening the completed equipment.
…
The process of Malen's "discovery" of this magical casting technique with strengthening effects was a complete accident.
His original idea was just to pray to the God of Knowledge, trying to gain knowledge about more powerful forging magic, such as those that would allow him to use monster materials to create equipment.
After all, the territory of the Church of Knowledge is in the dark forest, and there are a lot of monster materials here.
Novin received Marun's prayer in the Kingdom of God, and his divine creation responded to the prayer and dropped the corresponding knowledge.
But the knowledge content is not the magic that Malen wants!
The casting magic called [Equipment Strengthening] does not use raw materials such as monster materials to create equipment, but to strengthen the already formed equipment!
At the expense of consuming the god's divine power and corresponding materials.
After successful strengthening.
Armor becomes stronger and can withstand more attacks;
Weapons become sharper and can cause more damage;
Effects like this are a bit like the strengthening mechanisms in the games Noven played in his previous life.
Noven, who paid attention to this point, discovered something quite outrageous:
"Why does the God of Forging's magic consume my divine power!"
"What the hell are you using the pure divine power that I have worked so hard to save!"
"Isn't the knowledge obtained by Maren's prayer the magic of casting? It's none of my business!"
Nuowen was shocked.
In the past, believers obtained all kinds of knowledge from Novan, and Novan felt that his role was like a springboard. In addition to the knowledge that could be learned, he gave the believers a license that belonged to him.
With permission, believers can release various divine spells and magic without restrictions.
Novin guessed that the believers probably consumed the divine power corresponding to those gods in the process of releasing divine magic.
After all, Noven's own divine power was not consumed.
But this time the situation is different.
When Malen tried to cast this [Equipment Strengthening] magic, it was Noven who provided the required power!
Think about it.
Novin analyzed various possibilities and finally came up with the most likely answer:
"Could it be that this magical technique does not belong to the God of Forging, but... to me?"
"But Maren is obviously praying to the God of Forging for his magical knowledge!"
"I have no connection with the Forge God."
"When believers use divine magic, the prayers they recite correspond to the God of Forging, not me!"
When he came to this world to inherit the identity of a god, Novin had no idea that he had any magic that could be given to believers. It was only later that he discovered a way to give knowledge to believers.
Neither dwarves nor humans, nor any other race, have ever received such blessings from the God of Forging.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that it is a non-existent magic.
But it can obtain relevant knowledge through Noven's authority!
And it was learned and learned successfully by believers!
What's even more outrageous is.
Novin found a few believers to send down oracles to try, and found that [Equipment Strengthening] is not like the God of Forging's magical skills, and there will be differences in learning efficiency based on each person's talent. It is the same as the magical arts and magic used by professionals in combat. As long as they are followers of Noven, they can quickly learn and release it after gaining knowledge.
In short, this magical technique soon spread among the believers after Malen accidentally discovered it.
…
Knowing that it was a free experience opportunity, Pet Twain certainly had no reason to refuse.
"What to do?"
Mullen smiled and rubbed his hands, took away the long sword from Petwain's hand, and then took out some things from the blacksmith shop's warehouse and piled them on the table.
A small pile of small shiny iron pieces;
A handful of bright green leaves with jagged edges;
There are also a few fruit core-like things.
"Refined iron material, blades of sabergrass, and distortion materials of level 1 monsters."
Mullen introduced to Pet Twain in turn.
Pettwain's sword was placed safely on the anvil by Mullen.
Take out a portion of the materials on each side and place them in the corresponding positions.
Swinging the forging hammer, he hit the weapon hard!
“Bang!!!”
There was a deafening bang.
Pet Twain felt that his eyesight was dazzled for a moment, because he felt that the long sword seemed to flash a little white light just now.
But when he looked carefully, he didn't notice any changes.
Mullen put down the forging hammer and handed the sword back to Pet Twain with a satisfied smile.
"The strengthening is completed. Congratulations to Mr. Tostin. This sword successfully received the first strengthening."
Pettwain was confused: "Is there... any change?"
From the appearance, it seems that there is no difference from before forging.
There are still changes, or in other words, the absence of change is a change in itself.
Such a heavy blow should leave some marks on the sword at least, but after Pei Twain checked it carefully, he found that it was still intact.
No traces were left, which was obviously the effect of divine magic.
"It's easy," Mullen explained with a smile.
"Mr. Tostin, can you try attacking the carapace of that level 2 monster again?"
Pettwain did as he was told.
Another sword struck forward.
"Crack!"
Feeling the change in the feel of the weapon, Pet Twain screamed in surprise.
"Why?!"
It was obviously the same force, but when it hit the hard monster shell this time, Pet Twain felt vaguely lighter, and the weapon broke the carapace's defense more easily!
Last time he was so shocked that his jaw hurt, but this time the pain seemed to be less!
But this change is not particularly obvious.
Pettwain wasn't sure if it was his imagination or if something had actually happened to the weapon.
"Do you feel it?" The expression on Maren's face was a little strange at this time.
To describe it, it's probably like trying to hold back a smile while trying to laugh.
"This is our unique value-added service. After strengthening the equipment, it can become more powerful! Repeated strengthening, the effect will increase incrementally!"
"You have two more opportunities to experience this casting magic for free."
"Would you like to continue, Mr. Pettwain Tostin?"
