Even though the class was advanced, the class only had a few skills. Mystical Spirit Summoning, Spirit Capacity (1

/9) Invoke, and Spell Vault (0

/10. That was it, the class only gave her four skills, and she barely understood what all those four skills did.

After learning the other skills for a few minutes, Zowen got the gist of the skill. Spirit Capacity was self-explanatory, the total amount of spirit she could have. Then she found out what the use of the spirit was after trying to activate Invoke. Invoke was the interesting one, and this was where the spirit came into use. Invoke would combine the spirit to create a spell, and the spell would be stored in the Spell Vault. The maximum amount of spells she could store was ten.

She tried to use Invoke with one spirit, and she created one spell with just Fire Spirit, Fire Ball I. The Lightning Magus furrowed her brow as she realized the big flaw of the class. First, it was inconvenient to create a fireball, the most common spell and the easiest spell to learn. Second, the fact that she had a limited amount of spells was another flaw in this class.

“But this is the reward of the Trial of Ancient. The class was too weak for an Ancient Rank’s trial,” The Lightning Magus muttered by herself, “No, there must be something special about the class. I haven’t fully explored the class to its potential.”

Zowen then cast Fire Ball I, and it was the usual fireball. Much stronger than a normal fireball for sure, but not that much different. “Let’s try summoning a new spirit.” She did not want to believe Spirit Mage was a weak class, and she wanted to experiment more.

Wind Spirit was her second choice, and it was the same process but instead of fire, it was a strong gust of wind. A green wisp appeared above the magic circle, and it moved toward her, circling around her. The Wind Spirit looked more excited than the calm Fire Spirit.

Zowen used Invoke and found another limitation of the skill. The maximum number of spirits that could be combined with Invoke was three, three different types of spirits, and three spirits maximum. Fire, Fire, and Wind produced Thunder Strike I spell. The spell was automatically saved in her Spell Vault. He tested the spell, and it was similar to her Thunder Strike but stronger.𝑂𝒱𝓁xt.𝚌𝓞𝐦

“What if I change the combination to wind, wind, and fire? Will it produce a different spell?” She tried the idea, and to her surprise, it created a different spell, Lightning Bolt I. Then she continued by trying wind, wind, and wind produced a spell called Tornado I.

Creating these spells was addicting, then she summoned a new spirit. The third spirit was Earth Spirit. She was having fun, combining the spirit power into spells. What would happen if she created ten spells which was the maximum spell that could be stored? First, she could override the spell she did not want to use like Fireball I. But with four types of different spirits, she could create twenty different spells. Second, she did not need to save the spell, but she could try to Invoke the spell amidst the fight if she needed the spell. That required her to memorize all the combinations. Four different spirits might not be hard, but if she filled all nine spirits, that would be hard for her to memorize everything.

The more she tried more spells, she realized something. Three different types of spirits combination would take longer to fuse, but one type spirit Invoke was much faster, almost instant, and she could use the spell immediately. That meant if she wanted to save the spell, she should save the spell that required a longer time to Invoke, or she saved the spell she deemed the most useful one.

Zowen discovered more things about the class, which was about the spirit. She had summoned all four spirits. When she tried to summon the fifth spirit, she was notified that she must rank up all four spirits to Rank IV if she wanted to summon a new spirit. There was a requirement for her to unlock more spirits. This made her realize that the spirit had a rank.

Wind Spirit | Rank I Water Spirit | Rank I Earth Spirit | Rank I Fire Spirit | Rank I

But it came with more questions, how did she rank up the spirit? It did not tell her how to rank up the spirit, meaning she needed to do the research by herself. This also made her realize how to increase the damage output for each spell. A higher rank spirit might inflict higher damage for each spell.

“This is actually fantastic!” The Lightning Magus was no longer disappointed with her new class as soon as she found the hidden potential behind the class. Of course, it was not necessarily stronger than her two other classes, but there was one thing that made her excited. She had more research subjects. For someone who loved to bury herself in research of magic, this was an exciting prospect.

Zowen decided to stop with her experiment as she wasted too much time with the experiment. She took the exit portal, returning to the capital. Two trials, and two materials for her research. The two rewards erased her envy toward Rosalie’s talent completely. She returned to the office in a jovial mood.

“Congratulations on your advancement to Ancient Rank, Miss Zowen,” The female attendant congratulated her, “Please sit while I call for Sir Zaneos for your data gathering. He told me to call him for your interview.”

Zowen actually did not mind the female attendant interviewing her, but she said nothing after hearing what the female attendant said. It was much better for Zaneos to interview her, she felt safer with Zaneos.

A few minutes later, Zaneos entered the room. The demon stopped for a moment after he closed the door, observing Zowen for a moment, “You must get something good for you to be so happy.”

Zaneos got behind the table, “Let’s finish this quick. I like the off-record talk more than this one.” Zaneos was interested in what made the Lightning Magus have such a happy mood.
