Chapter 129: The Genius Magical Girl

While Lolth happily fished, Kanor was in that classroom, starting to think about the content on the blackboard.

"Little Fireball, Ice Binding, Water Jet, Multiple Wind Blades, Earth Barrier; Beginner Astral Plane Perception, Mental Amplification, Spirit Eye, Star Shield, Falling Star Technique; Life Revival, Vitality Enhancement, Taming Technique, Life Force Perception, Strength Amplification…"

Fifteen spells belonging to three main categories and their operating principles were presented before Kanor, all of which were level one spells that apprentice-level mages could master.

Although each magic spell written by Lolth was not very long, she broke down the structure and operation of these fifteen simple spells in great detail. After reading it just once, Kanor knew that she had learned all the spells.

But next comes the difficult part.

She needs to create three brand new spells, each belonging to the categories of Element, Star Spirit, and Nature.

Even Kanor, this genius girl, finds it a bit tricky!

Although she has been training and learning to become a spellcaster these past few days, it has mostly been about meditation to increase her magical power and understanding the most basic knowledge!

In fact, the things she learned a few days ago cannot strictly be called professional knowledge; they are more like common sense—like the introductory chapters in textbooks that explain "What is Physics / Why Study Chemistry / The Wonders of Mathematics."

Thus, creating her own spells is like after reading a few gaming magazines, Kanor was asked to write out the source code for Minesweeper, Spider Solitaire, and Freecell.

Now, Kanor needs to create three different types of games before lunch!

Normally, the first lesson would just be to write a Hello World and then finish class!

But… for Kanor, while this is very challenging, it cannot really defeat her.

After thinking for a moment, she started to try to understand the deeper structure of "magic."

"Why does Master Lolth leave five spells for each type… when there are only four elements?"

Kanor began to observe and think about the common features of the five spells for each type.

Releasing little flames and streams of water, turning water into ice, activating Astral Plane perception, tapping into spirit, using magic to enhance plants or one’s own life force…

Soon, Kanor understood everything.

"The core of elemental magic is to give magic ‘attributes’! Different ‘attributes’ are actually different magical properties…"

"Magic with the same elemental attribute can quickly combine, while magic with different elemental attributes will react differently depending on the amount of magic. Just a little guidance can create effects like ‘explosion’ or ‘release’… Now I see, no wonder there are so many specialized elemental wizards. It is indeed a type of magic that is easy to learn, widely applicable, and with high potential…"

Kanor murmured as she transformed the faint magic in her hand into fire element and water element. When they met, they created a subtle yet intense reaction, releasing a large amount of mist.

"Next is Star Spirit Magic… the magic that connects the Astral Plane and the spiritual world… However, according to the latest spell theory, the Astral Plane and the spiritual world don’t actually exist; they are just ways to use the power of spirit in the soul to cast spells. The Astral Plane is a projection of ‘collective consciousness,’ and the spiritual world is a reflection of ‘self,’" Kanor looked at what Lolth had written and once again summoned the power of Star Spirit. She indeed felt a subtle, hard-to-notice wave in her soul. "It truly is close to the realm of a warlock, but at its core, it is still magic built entirely from magic and power… No wonder mental spells are included in this major category; after all, the effects of spells acting on spiritual power are indeed related to the mind…"

"Nature magic… also known as life magic, was once a branch of arcane magic. When looking only at the process of casting, it is just as ‘pure’ as arcane magic, but it mostly aims at affecting life force. Since the theory that ‘life force is also a special type of magic’ was introduced, advanced spells have completely diverged from arcane magic… It sounds simple, but it’s really difficult; no wonder it shares origins with Arcane magic. Life force itself is quite mysterious… If it weren’t for the close connection between life force and martial professions, it might have truly stumped me!"

Kanor grew more and more excited as she learned. Soon, she grabbed the scroll paper and feather pen that Lolth had left for her and began to write and draw.

She kept imagining and designing the magic structure, repeatedly testing and discarding ideas, perfecting it before releasing the magic again, and so on in a continuous cycle. Finally…

"I did it!"

Kanor placed her pen down after finishing the three magical formulas on the scroll, stood up from her chair, and looked out the window.

At this time, it was already noon!

Just as Kanor stood up, the classroom door opened again.

Lolth, wearing a fisherman’s hat and carrying a bucket full of fish, with a stalk of reeds hanging from her mouth, looked at the tired Kanor and comforted her, saying, "Did you not manage to do it? Let’s eat first; after all, this… can wait?"

Lolth quickly noticed the joyful expression on Kanor’s face and the scroll filled with runes, spells, and magic structures.

She walked over and took a look, feeling a bit astonished.

"You really did it!"

Although Lolth had expected Kanor to be a genius, she realized she had still underestimated this person.

"Yes, thanks to Master Lolth’s guidance, I had a big breakthrough!"

Kanor said proudly.

Lolth looked at the three spells on the scroll and quickly tested their feasibility – the fastest way was to cast them once.

The elemental magic combined wind and fire attributes, creating an effect like a small flame thrower.

The Star Spirit magic used the power of the Star Spirit to create controlling spells that could briefly bind the enemy’s limbs.

The nature spell was the most creative; Kanor developed magic that could draw out the life force of plants – if a person in Cloud City invented such a spell, most countries and races, especially the Elf Tribe and The Church of Light, as well as several nature-related churches, would surely see Kanor as a "forbidden witch"!

However, Lolth quickly noticed the inexperience and flaws in these spells.

"Well… there is still room for improvement."

While saying this, she casually wrote a few notes and optimized the magic structure.

Kanor watched Lolth’s actions, her eyes widening as she said, "That’s impressive… After this change, it really is more stable and efficient—Master Lolth, did you come up with this on the spot?"

"No," Lolth shook her head and calmly replied, "After I finished, these three spells are called Flame Wind, Starlight Beam, and Withering Spell. They are mature spells that already exist on the continent."
