Mage? Spell Engineer!.

Chapter 571 How can love be as important as research?
Forget it, just consider it as a contribution to research.
Of course, one still has to be cautious. Rorschach used the materials in the border area to pull up a stand-in. He established a connection with the stand-in and then let the stand-in complete the contract, which is equivalent to a safety bottle.

The mask that received Rorschach's contract intention found the right direction, and its roots penetrated directly into the stand and connected with its magic circuit.

Suddenly, a surge of magic power poured in, forcibly changing the green color of the roots into blue light, and the simulated energy body also began to fluctuate violently.

It's really fragile. The substitute is about 70% of his own level, which should be about the same as Master Humboldt, but Rorschach has no control over its strength. The moment the circuit is connected to the roots, the mask-energy body system is completely washed away by the magic power in Rorschach's body under extreme imbalance.

After patiently waiting for it to stabilize, Rorschach tested its performance and found that it was better than the native nature spirit and could hold three-ring magic.

After a careful inspection, Rorschach also confirmed that the mask itself did not carry any divine power or divinity. Perhaps it had in the past, but Sylvanus was probably dead. This was the best way to ensure safety.

Considering that it was for non-casters, Rorschach then tested the second item.

The "prototype" of the mask has been registered in the border area, and he made another one. Now all the parts have been "industrialized", focusing on a level that is safe and controllable and can be invested in the information and innovation market to make money.

He started over again, from casting the spell to pulling out the double. This time, the double did not inherit Rorschach's magical abilities at all, and was almost an insulator like Martin. He first controlled the Tree of Law to extend its thinnest branches to wrap around the double, and then let the mask replica extend its roots to bridge it.

This time, it was golden light that flowed into the energy body, and it was transformed - the root-like magic circuit developed again and became more complex.

Another round of stress testing, almost all the spells collected by the spell cloud were used by Rorschach. This time the upper limit was five-ring spells, but unfortunately there would be tendencies and restrictions.

For example, the upper limit of the power of evocation magic is not high, which is the level of low-level wizards; among other complex spells, the natural system has a good effect, and operations involving illusion, mapping, etc. will basically fail, unless there are sufficiently complete "descriptors" in the spell frequency sent from the cloud.

The power of spells is also limited by the energy body's ability to gather magic power. Like a real spellcaster, it can enrich the magic power of the environment and constantly absorb it to replenish itself. The difference is that the concentration it enriches is not high, and the consequences of exhaustion when casting spells are more serious than those of humans. After all, the basis of its existence is magic power itself, and the only outcome when it is exhausted is collapse and dissipation.

This result was unsatisfactory according to Rorschach standards, because he knew very well that they were at the border, and what they got was theoretical performance, just like a mobile phone running in a refrigerator. Consumers...well, the people who used this system could be called "contractees", and they would never reach the performance ceiling.

Optimistically speaking, at present, it is possible for ordinary people to experience the "happiness" of being a magic apprentice.

That's not bad.

The mask was constructed from pure biological principles, made of oak wood transformed by elves' technology. Rorschach would never ask the elves for oak wood, even if he could give them a "ticket" in exchange, but this was a key component, how could he let them hold him back?
Its power lies in its ability to create simulated magic circuits, which can not only automatically adjust according to the shape and size of the energy body, but also connect the recipient with the spirit of nature, completing the conversion between two completely different systems.

When thinking about the characteristics that Rorschach needs, first of all, the conversion of the two systems can be fixed. Although there will be individual differences among the recipients of the contract, in fact, it is the Tree of Law that provides technical support for the "plug-in", that is, one to many.

"The prototype has been figured out, and I can replicate it here. How can I be choked by the elves? It's impossible!"

Purely virtual replicas were allowed at the border, so what material would be needed to replace the special oak in the main material world? Rorschach came up with a plan after a little thought.

Martin returned to the forbidden biological laboratory again. He had not been there for so long that he was even a little unfamiliar with the safety disinfection steps.

It is said that Master Rorschach has been in seclusion for a while and has refused many visitors. Principal Caroline is not in school most of the time. It seems that a group of green-robed Forest Tower mages have visited, but sometimes they can be seen and sometimes they disappear. They have not been seen going to the fields.

Now that Rorschach has ended his autistic state, Martin was a little nervous that the first person he looked for would be himself.

The laboratory was still clean, and the experimental organisms had been removed. It was said that they were transferred to Basif to test some new drugs. Martin knew a little bit, and he had heard that new drugs were made from coal. Even coal was more likely to be made into gold, or maybe he had heard it wrong. He thought so and came to Rorschach.

"Are you still wearing the pendant? You've taken good care of the symbiote inside." Rorschach praised.

Martin chuckled: "Even if there is no progress, we have developed feelings for it after all this time. It's quite obedient and can recognize me now." Hannah hoped that Martin would get rid of this "evil creature" from time to time, but he was reluctant to do so and kept feeding it until now.

When Martin mentioned his lover, he couldn't help but curl up his lips and then kept talking. Rorschach could only interrupt him and check the condition of the symbiote.

So Martin demonstrated in front of Rorschach how to feed it: open the container of the pendant and extend the index finger close to the microbial mass inside.

The ball of mucus instantly hugged his index finger, and from Martin's completely insensitive expression it seemed that he did not feel any pain. After about half a minute, the small tentacle of the symbiote that was grabbing Martin's index finger automatically let go. When he raised his hand, Rorschach saw a tiny drop of blood. The wound was so small that it was almost invisible.

The symbiote does not show much intelligence now, but compared with the native species that is active in water and eats people and is bloodthirsty, it is already smart, dignified and calm.

"Not bad, really good." Rorschach praised Martin twice and patted his shoulder: "I can fulfill my promise to you."

"Really? Thank you." Martin was somewhat happy, but not particularly surprised. Perhaps this was the ease and leisure of Xianchong.

Damn it, could you react a little more strongly, even just pretend? It's ruining my sense of accomplishment after all the hard work I've put in.

Rorschach took out a cup of potion, put the processed transmutation dust into it, and after following the same process of "fusion" and "activation" as at the junction, he obtained a water solution that resembled spirit.

He also separated some of the symbiote cultivated by Martin and integrated it into it.

Originally, "Rorschach" lived in water. After confirming that there was no rejection reaction between the symbiont and the alchemical potion, he added all of them into it. The size of the symbiont, which obtained abundant energy, rapidly increased.

At this time, Rorschach was still calm. He pushed out a metal plate with an extremely complex circuit. In the middle of the formation was a bowl-shaped groove, and a crystal ball was embedded in the middle of the circuit. The symbiote was thrown into the groove and slapped the surface of the wall frantically, while Martin placed both hands on the crystal ball as Rorschach requested.

The engraved magic circle is a weakened version of [Axiom Creation], which he named [Simulated Creation]: "Activate the scroll, and then imagine the image of a creature, as perfect as possible, not too big, and not too exaggerated. If this fails, your symbiote will die."

In fact, this step requires Martin to provide a "mapping" blueprint. Even if you can't cast spells, you can at least imagine it, right?
"Okay." Martin did as he was told.

As the image in Martin's mind took shape, the mixture of the symbiote and the pseudo-spirit began to change. The array activated, completing the other steps on Martin's behalf.
In addition, the magic circle on the metal plate will induce some symbionts to differentiate into xylem, or even form skeletons with tissues harder than xylem. Their skulls are equivalent to masks, and they extend countless roots that are invisible in the material world to form magic circuits.

Finally, the puppy-like creature now ran happily from the center of the magic circle to the front of the crystal ball, licking Martin's little hand and wagging its tail wildly.

"As long as you complete the last step of the contract, you will become a bonded person who can cast spells."

"So cute! I'm going to show it to Hannah, she's sure to like it!" Martin didn't hear what Rorschach said for a moment and blurted out the first thought in his mind.

Is it great to have a partner? You have enough!
