Chapter 55 Book of the Forgotten


Chapter 55 Book of the Forsaken

Arcane Gauntlets +4

Type: Gauntlets

Quality: Purple·Excellent

Attribute: Agility +2, cast speed increased by 20%

Equipment effect:

This pair of gloves is filled with powerful magical power, with a total of 10 charges, and can restore 5 charges per day.

When the wearer casts a spell of levels 1 to 5, the charge in the gloves can be used to release the spell. For example, a spell of level 1 consumes 1 charge, and a spell of level 5 consumes 5 charges.

Description: This pair of ordinary gloves is made of magic silk and a layer of flexible magic metal. It can not only resist attacks from non-magical weapons, but also assist the user in casting spells.

Seeing the properties of the first piece of equipment, Brian's expression flashed with joy and he immediately put it on his hand.

Immediately afterwards, he felt the originally loose gloves tighten until they fit his palm.

Looking at the five-pointed star array engraved on the palm of his hand, he tried to wave the spell.

Suddenly, he immediately noticed that not only were the gauntlets not affected at all, but the additional 2 points of agility and 20% casting speed also made him feel an unprecedented smoothness.

With this pair of gauntlets, he could even throw a spell directly at the moment he raised his hand.

Then, he checked the attributes of the next piece of equipment:

Thunder Gauntlet +4

Type: Gauntlet

Quality: Purple·Excellent

Attributes: Strength +3, melee attack with 5 points of lightning damage

Equipment effect:

If you are wearing this bracer, hit a creature with a melee weapon, or cast a spell, the bracer will receive 1 charge.

Every time a charge is obtained, the thin clouds covering the wrist guards will become darker and darker. When the charge is full, the clouds covering the wrist guards will become continuously rolling. Black thunderclouds mixed with lightning.

If the charge count of the wrist guard reaches 5 levels, the wearer can choose to consume all the charges in the wrist guard and release "Lightning Beam" or "Thunder Summoning".

The wearer equipped with this pair of wristbands can reduce the damage by 15 points when being attacked by lightning, and the wristbands can be charged by 2 rounds.

Description: This pair of wrist guards is always covered with a thin layer of static electricity cloud. When the wearer launches an attack, the static electricity cloud covering the wrist guards will slowly flow and converge on the weapon or fist held by the wearer. .

…………

Seeing these two pairs of magic gauntlets that were close to legendary quality, Brian recalled some rumors about the Evangelist Mage Gugliel, which were probably true.

It is said that the greatest hobby of the preaching mage Guilei is to make magic gauntlets with various spells.

Because this allows non-spellcasters to unleash deadly spells in combat.

In this regard, his explanation to the mage god Azuth was that it could reduce the number of wizards on the battlefield, thereby reducing the death rate of wizards, and also allow rulers and nobles to taste the power of using magic through the 'Magic Gauntlet' After the pleasure, let them pay more attention to the cultivation and development of magic.

But the soldiers are full of suspicion about this. They believe that compared with the 'magic gauntlet' controlled by themselves, the presence of wizards on the battlefield can increase their sense of security.

In the first few years, Guilei only occasionally conducted research on the 'Magic Gauntlet'. He spent more time killing possible challengers.

But soon after, Guilei became obsessed with his research - the 'Magic Gauntlet'.

Most of these gauntlets are made of flexible metal, and some even extend from the hands to the shoulders, and are equipped with retractable sharp claws and spikes.

Of course, there are also many powerful magics attached.

The specific magics are not completely determined, but they may include: ice cone, lightning beam, magic missile, thunder summoning, feather falling, flying and levitating.

The gauntlet can emit magic beams as dazzling as sunlight, and can also release invisible force field impacts.

The reason why it can be inferred that the gauntlets have the above-mentioned abilities is mainly because a thief was able to steal six pairs of magic gauntlets from Guliry's mage tower at one time.

These six pairs of gauntlets were the most complex semi-finished products that Guileri made at that time.

Because of this theft, Guilei was so angry that he smashed everything around him for several days.

Then, after he calmed down, he remade a batch of magic gauntlets with more powerful abilities, and set them so that only he could activate these abilities.

Unfortunately, these gauntlets once again became the trophies of thieves.

The missionary mage living in Leyline Lost City was extremely frustrated. He vowed never to attach all his abilities to pure items again, and launched a several-year pursuit of the thief.

However, until he disappeared, he never found out who the thief was who stole his things.

This series of setbacks made Greri extremely crazy. However, what is unbelievable is that the thief who stole his gauntlet was actually the mage god Azuth.

The reason why the Supreme Being did this was mainly to make Guliry more diligent in fulfilling his responsibility as a preaching mage, instead of using his excess energy on this kind of thing that would be enough to be worn by ordinary people. A magical gauntlet that threatens wizards.

It is said that Azuth, the mage god, still retains many magic gauntlets made by Guliri.

When the Most High feels the need, He will also distribute these gauntlets to reward those who need them most. This is indeed the case, Brian has indeed heard rumors that the God of Mage rewards gauntlets.

At the same time, he finally understood why he saw many methods of making gauntlets when he was looking through the books restricted by magic in the library just now.

He vaguely guessed that the reason why the gauntlet was so perfectly made was definitely related to the magic silk and flexible magic metal mentioned in the equipment description.

This conjecture made Brian secretly cautious.

When he has the opportunity, he must study the knowledge left by the preaching mage Guili.

Then, with a slightly excited mood, he checked the third piece of magic equipment.

The reason why he was a little excited was mainly because this magic book was the one he had been appraising for the longest time, and its quality was self-evident.

Book of the Forgotten

Type: Rare Object

Quality: Golden·Legendary

Attributes:

1. Arcane Analysis: If a creature within 60 feet of itself releases a spell of level 1 or higher, the person holding this spell book can make a knowledge (occult) check for this spell.

If you successfully pass the test, this spell will be recorded in the spell book with symbols that only you can understand, and you will master this spell.

On the contrary, it will be recorded in an indescribable and obscure symbolic text, and the spell recorded in this way cannot be used.

Note: This ability can only be used when holding the spell book. Once this ability is used, the spell book will enter a recovery state.

Note: During the recovery period, the arcane analysis ability cannot be used. The number of days the recovery state lasts depends on the level of the spell being analyzed * 10 days.

2. Hidden knowledge: The holder of the spell book can put any books or scrolls recording arcane knowledge into the spell book to guide the hidden power in the spell book, allowing the holder to deal with magic at a faster speed. These obscure and arcane knowledge are integrated into each other.

Note: This ability requires the holder’s experience points to be activated.

Description 1: This gold-plated spell book is engraved with a relief of a mage who likes to buy other people's spells for free. After the holder of the spell book is attuned to the spell book, he can use the spell book as his own spell book and an arcane weapon. If the holder's attunement to the spell book ends, everything recorded in the book will disappear.

Explanation 2: This is the 94th missionary mage named Greri Muluklas, appointed by the goddess of magic Mystra and the god of wizards Azuth, to extract the essential energy of the magic network and combine it with all the previous missionary mages. With his magical knowledge and experience, he created a spell book, which is also the most proud of his magical works in his life.

Explanation 3: The Book of the Forgotten is also called the Book of Whoring for Fools. Anyone who is lucky enough to get this spell book can learn at least one trick, even if he is a born idiot.

Curse: Because this spell book contains too many spells, it has been cursed by many spellcasters. Spellcasters who are in tune with this cursed book will be affected by its curse.

As long as the curse is still in effect, the owner of this spell book will always keep the spell book within reach and will not be separated from it.

In addition, if the holder falls in love with another person and uses other spell books to prepare spells, he will suffer psychic damage equal to the level of the spell in the spell book.

…………

“Hu”

Seeing the properties of this spell book, Brian took a long breath, with satisfaction in his eyes.

Just as this spell book introduces.

Even a natural idiot can learn at least one trick with the help of the two abilities of arcane analysis and hidden knowledge.

Originally, he was worried that his speed in parsing the Nese Scroll was too slow, and he might not be able to keep up with his improvement in strength.

After all, except for his own upgrade system, his knowledge base is not on the same level as those of lichs who have lived for thousands of years.

This kind of thing that takes time to accumulate is difficult to catch up with them.

Now, having the "hidden knowledge" in the "Book of the Forgotten" can help him quickly understand the knowledge that takes a lot of time to master.

For example, the only Nese scroll in his hand.

If he puts it into the spell book, he can master the knowledge in the scroll as quickly as possible.

The most important thing is that the principle of this spell book is exactly the same as his arcane fire. They are also the essential energy obtained from the structure of the magic network.

This also means that these two things may be completely merged together by some coincidence.

If he masters the method of making the artifact in the Nese Scroll, it is not impossible to even upgrade it into an artifact.

Brian suppressed the excitement in his heart, calmed down immediately, and put away all the items.

At this point, the mansion has basically been explored.

Unknowingly.

He and Hesiah have been away for a long time, and it's time to go back.

After all, in a sense, this mansion already belongs to him, and it is not too late to keep those bits and pieces to explore later.
