Takumi, who wanted to find out what the consumption standards for magic creation were, immediately continued testing.
The first test was the advanced magic of the water system.
Out of a rigorous verification mentality, Takumi directly plagiarized the concept this time.
He created a water version of the "Fire Bolt."
Unexpectedly, the consumption dropped by more than half, to only twice what was needed for release.
"The proficiency does not increase so quickly, so it is my own knowledge reserve that determines the amount of mana consumed to create magic?"
The newly created magic system contains a lot of new knowledge, and it is completely made out of nothing, so the magic power consumed becomes very large.
When Takumi creates a new superior magic, it is because he already has the basic knowledge. With that foundation, there is much less new knowledge and theory that needs to be generated, and the consumption is also reduced.
This was well verified when Takumi copied the "Flame Lance."
Because all the knowledge had been gathered already, he just needed to replace the essence of magic from fire to water, and the consumption was further reduced.
From the above, it can be concluded that the consumption of magic power to create magic mainly depends on how much knowledge is being generated out of thin air. If you create something completely from nothing, it will be a hundred times more expensive.
If you have a certain foundation and then create more advanced magic, the cost will be reduced to about ten times. A less difficult magic transformation would even require as little as twice as much.
"Very good! This ability is quite powerful."
After understanding this, Takumi couldn't help but nod with satisfaction.
Although there are certain restrictions on its use, the strength of the "Magic Creation" ability did not disappoint him. It proved its worth based on its sheer potential.
"Congratulations, you have become stronger again," Hestia offered her blessings upon seeing this.
"It's okay, but it still needs further research."
Takumi was not dazzled by joy. Instead, he began to think about what kind of magic he would create next.
In addition to creating more magic and supplementing combat methods, Takumi was also thinking about how to use the "Magic Creation" ability to quickly become stronger.
The main reason is that this ability also has a limit. The upper limit is his own magic power capacity. If the creation consumption exceeds that limit, he will not be able to create it.
Therefore, to make "Magic Creation" truly broken, one must constantly increase the upper limit of one's own magic power.
Although he possesses the "Perfect Body" and is getting stronger every moment, the efficiency of this improvement is fixed. It is far less rapid than his previous "evolution," which improved everything in one go.
And it takes a lot of time.
This is not in line with Takumi's current needs.
At this time, Takumi's eyes suddenly lit up as he was thinking about it. There's a way!
"Since one bar of magic power is not enough, I can use a few more bars!"
He got inspiration from game bosses.
As we all know, the health of a final boss in a game is very high.
It's not just how long their health bars are, but because they have several bars of health!
This design is still in use today.
So, since the health bar can have several segments, why can't the mana bar?
By opening up additional mana pools and filling the extra bars just like charging a battery, they can be adjusted together when needed, just like batteries in series.
In this way, the total mana capacity increases significantly.
Just like Tsunade's Strength of a Hundred Seal.
Takumi instantly thought of the Fifth Hokage. Her signature ability, the Strength of a Hundred Seal, also had such characteristics. She usually saves chakra little by little and then uses it at the critical moment. At the same time, this gave Takumi a research direction.
"Start by creating seal magic, then slowly increase the intensity, and move towards storing magic power."
After Takumi decided on the plan, he began to use "Magic Creation" to operate.
Hestia, standing on the side, saw this and did not bother him.
"Takumi, if you don't need anything else, I will go back to Orario first."
On Orario's side, whether it's the three Kocho sisters or the newly joined Haruhime, they are all unfamiliar with the place. It's not right if there is no one to watch over them.
Since Takumi is busy and there is nothing she can do to help, she decided to return.
"Well, go ahead. Hand over a few textbooks in the study to Haruhime for me. Let her take a good look at them and study by herself first. After I finish my work here, I will go back to teach her."
"Okay."
Then, Hestia left.
After she left, Takumi, who was busy creating magic, received a prompt from the system.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the reception of the visitor 'Hestia,' fulfilling her request, and receiving the reward: [The Third Magic]!"
Hestia came to the Dimensional City last night, so it was considered a visit.
As for her request... everyone knows what happened, so the details are unnecessary.
Let's talk about the reward this time.
"Nice! Isn't this just the perfect gift when I need it most?"
Takumi was immediately pleasantly surprised when he got this reward.
Taking a closer look, sure enough, this is the Third Magic from the Type-Moon world!
The Materialization of the Soul! Infinite lifespan! Infinite magic power!
The first two effects are decent, but they provided little immediate help to Takumi.
Especially in terms of lifespan, Takumi was not lacking at all. The longer he lived, the stronger he became, so there was no need to use the Third Magic to achieve longevity.
Not to mention, the Third Magic's version of longevity still had flaws; one might lose their emotions over a long enough period.
But the infinite magic power at the end is exactly what Takumi needs most now!
He is short on magic power, so receiving an infinite magic power buff is a massive help!
Although this doesn't directly raise the upper limit of his magic power, it allows him to have an inexhaustible supply.
Takumi also just discovered something.
His magic power recovery does not benefit from the super recovery effect of "Perfect Body," and the recovery speed is quite slow compared to his physical recovery.
Therefore, even if he creates magic bit by bit to reach his goal, it is very time-consuming and laborious.
But it is different now!
With the infinite magic power of the Third Magic, the recovery speed is maxed out, and the time to reach his goals is greatly reduced. That's not all!
After the magic to store magic power is successfully created, Takumi can also charge it faster.
This method of forcibly increasing the total amount of magic power will be greatly shortened in frequency and time intervals, and may even become a routine method!
Thinking of this, Takumi quickly received the reward.
