Chapter 86: Whalebone Charm
Tuesday, January 2nd.
In the morning, in the empty room of the accommodation.
Qili stood aside, watching Varina's somewhat rusty busy movements with interest.
He's laying out the spiritual wall.
Varina thrust the silver knife in her hand into a bowl of coarse salt on the table and recited in Hermes:
"I sanctify you, Sterling Silver Blade!"
"I cleanse and purify you so that you can serve me in the ritual!"
……
"I, in my name, declare:"
"You are sanctified!"
Qili's brow furrowed slightly, noticing that Varina had slightly modified the spell she had taught.
She taught the sanctification of the ceremonial silver dagger in the name of the "primordial witch...... But it's not a problem, at most it's just a little more spiritual.
After reciting the Hermesian incantation incantation, Varina lifted the silver knife and placed it in a cup of clear water.
Gathering his spirit, he pulled out the silver "holy blade" and meditated on the scene of spiritual spread and erupting from the tip of the knife.
Invisible forces poured out, and Varina took the knife and circled the room.
With his spiritual support, an invisible spiritual wall was erected around it, keeping out all uncleanness, all distractions.
Qili looked at Varina, who was fiddling with spiritual materials, curious about the spell he was about to make.
Although no one in the Witch Sect makes talismans, he also knows the process and effects of the official Celestial Masters of the Orthodox Church.
Essentially, it's just pleasing the gods and asking for power.
She wondered how Varina could make a spell that could store extraordinary abilities.
Could it be that he was especially loved by the "primordial"?
After raising the spiritual wall, Varina moved methodically, placing a small piece of whalebone that had been prepared in advance on the table.
In this process, Qi Li could clearly see that the bone fragment divided by chess pieces had a pattern on the front and back, but she was quite unfamiliar with both patterns.
Varina's next move far exceeded her expectations.
Instead of using spiritual materials to please the "Primordial Witch", or praying to the "Primordial Witch", Varina took the help of a mirror and used the mirror of her left palm and left palm to circle the whalebone piece in the middle along with its mirror.
Immediately after, a layer of darkness rose, blurring the space inside the palm of the palm into darkness.
With a flick of her right hand, Varina threw aside spiritual materials such as night owl feathers and lizard scales into the darkness.
The strange thing is that the feather is obviously longer than the dark area, but it completely disappears into it, without a trace.
Qi Li was simply stunned.
It's nothing like the ritual magic she taught Varina!
After about four or five pieces of material had been thrown in, Varina sensed that the whalebone in his palm had been transformed, so he removed the power exerted on his left palm.
The darkness faded, the spiritual material vanished, and the bone fragment was still the same bone fragment.
It doesn't seem like much has changed.
Varina tapped his left tooth to open his vision, and saw that the bone fragment that had no spiritual spirit was now exuding a strong spiritual brilliance.
He turned off his vision, waved his hand to open the "gray vision", and also saw the glowing outline of the bone fragment, pale green in color.
This was the first time he had seen a color other than the yellow of life in his "gray vision".
On the other hand, Qi Li also saw the changes in the bone fragments through her vision.
And that's it?
It's not like making spells at all, it's more like "craftsmen" making magical items.
Of course, Kiri hasn't actually seen the "craftsman" create magical objects, it's just a speculation based on her own occult knowledge.
Varina picked up the bone fragment from the table, closed her eyes, and meditated on the sensation of the "Light Feather Fall" ability activating, pouring it into the bone fragment along with the spirit.
Finally, he set up the opening spell for the finished charm, "Feather", in the ancient Hermetian language.
The spell was made, and it went even more smoothly than he had imagined.
"Show me."
Qi Li took a few steps forward, took the seemingly ordinary charm from Varina's hand, and looked at it carefully.
Aside from the material and the pattern on both sides, she couldn't find anything special about the spell.
The obverse of this bone charm depicts a pattern of short lines resembling a hunting bow and a bayonet sword; On the reverse side, a cube with two layers connected to the inside and the outside is depicted.
"This is the emblem and symbol you designed for the 'primordial'?"
Qi Li knew very well that the "primordial witch" only had a god statue and no corresponding emblem, but it was hard for Varina not to suspect that it was a holy emblem if she was able to make a spell with such a pattern.
"No, it's not."
It was a matter of gods, and Varina didn't dare to talk nonsense, so she quickly vetoed Qili's idea.
"All I know is that I can make spells, and I don't know anything else." He retrieved the spell from Qi Li's hand, "I'll try it first." ”
He concealed the key information that he only used his own power during the production process.
"Feathers!"
After reciting the opening spell he had just set up in Ancient Hermes, Varina used the Spiritual Communication Charm to unleash its power.
The spell was successfully activated, and the effect was no problem.
The only pity is that he wasted a spell.
The two chess pieces bought for 100 pounds have a total of 64 pieces, and Varina estimates that it is only enough to make more than a hundred blank charms, not counting the spiritual materials consumed......
In other words, he just tried to burn several pounds directly.
You know, his one-bedroom house is only 1 pound a month's rent.
……
For the rest of the year, Varina was making blank charms.
Probably because there were also conflicts between the spiritual materials, and the production of blank charms failed several times.
Coupled with the lack of spiritual materials, he only made a total of 13 blank spells in the end.
This is followed by perfusion capacity.
Qi Li has made great efforts in this regard, providing a lot of practical abilities.
After experimentation, they determined that the capacity of Sequence 7 was the upper limit if they wanted to ensure the success of the ability perfusion. If it is exceeded, the success rate will plummet.
Qi Li still used the "Thief Badge", but after consuming 4 blank charms, she only succeeded once.
In addition to the "Steal" spell at the end, there are also "Black Flame", "Frost", and "Invisible" each that has been successfully crafted.
Varina made one each of "Charged Burst" and "Light Feather Fall", and kept four blank charms, intending to go to Firth in exchange for the ability to "open the door".
To be honest, while Varina was keen to see that the Fire Thief could steal someone else's extraordinary abilities, he didn't expect Chilly to use it to make spells.
After all, the negative effect was too bad and too unacceptable.
Anyway, he couldn't put himself in that dangerous situation.
But to his surprise, after making the "invisible" charm, Qi Li took the initiative to take out the "Thief Badge".
After Qili failed to infuse the "stealing" ability 3 times in a row, Varina vaguely understood her thoughts-
Qi Li is probably showing him sincerity, trying to gain his trust?
However, this idea has not been confirmed.
Because after the success of the fourth attempt, Qi Li's first words were, "Don't talk to me!" ”
Varina could only respect her thoughts.
