Lord of Arcane

"Teacher, can you help me see if my current divine grace is enough to dedicate a new achievement to the Lady of Mystery?" Shado looked at Iolum expectantly.

In fact, he himself could sense the grace of the Lady of Mystery that he possessed, and he had even used it to expand the upper limit of spell storage in the magic network before, but he was not clear about the specific amount of grace.

Only special priests would know this. If Shaduo was willing, he could also sense the holy power of the Lady of Mystery like Iolum, but he didn't want to do that, so he could only ask Iolum to help take a look.

Iolum certainly agreed to Shado's request. He raised his hand with a blue-white glow and waved it in front of Shado, then closed his eyes and sensed it, as if communicating with the mysterious lady. After a moment, he opened his eyes and told Shado with some surprise:

"I didn't expect you to have received so much divine grace in the past few years, enough to contribute three new achievements!"

Dedicating innovative results is actually applying for a patent from the Lady of Mystery, which is similar to a certified personal magic mark. As long as other spellcasters use it improperly, they will be reminded, and in serious cases, they will be deprived of the ability to cast spells.

Of course, this kind of certification only exists in the field of the Lady of Mystery. Priests are a must. As long as other people apply for a personal magic mark, it is equivalent to recognizing this system. If they don’t apply, there will be no punishment for impersonation. This is the limitation of the priesthood.

God will not meddle in other people's affairs, but within his own domain, he will ensure that nothing is left out.

Therefore, whether the elves recognize the patent of Ms. Mystery depends on whether the Lord of the Elves recognizes it. Judging from the patent of Misera, the Lord of the Elves obviously recognizes the patent system of Ms. Mystery.

That's enough. As long as the main elf god recognizes it, the upper elves will basically not deny it. As for the lower elves, when they have the ability to infringe on patents, they will no longer be the lower level and will naturally abide by the corresponding rules.

However, with only three patents, it is still a long way from the patent barriers that Xia Duo needs to build!

But now, there is an opportunity to exchange money for divine grace, that is, to clear the decay field. If it is any other repair project, no matter how much money is spent or how many arcanists are forced to come, once the repair is completed, the divine grace will belong to them. It means that you are spending money to help others obtain divine grace.

But now, as long as the person who invests the magic item is yourself, the divine grace is yours, and you don't need to know who made the magic item.

This is also an extremely rare opportunity to directly spend money in exchange for God's grace!

"If I sacrifice a Mysera tomorrow, how much divine grace do you think I can gain?"

"The amount of divine grace has nothing to do with the magic items you invest in. It's related to the degree of support for the repair of the magic network. If the effect of investing in Mysera is the same as investing in a bright cane, then the divine grace you gain will be the same as investing in a bright cane."

Xia Duo also understood this principle, which was why the arcanists chased after the newly discovered maze ruins, because the difficulty of repairing the newly discovered maze ruins in the early stage was much lower than in the later stage, but the grace obtained was only related to the progress.

This brings up the issue of the efficiency of obtaining divine favor. Given the personalities of most Netherese mages, they will of course prioritize pursuing newly discovered maze ruins, while turning a blind eye and ignoring the ruins that have already been repaired by other arcanists.

Some arcanists who have poor skills but are lucky enough to catch up with the early stage of the magic network repair often leave greater trouble for subsequent repairs. It is not that they are willing to do so subjectively, but it does objectively cause difficulties for subsequent repairers.

Ultimately it may not be possible to fully repair it. Most of the numerous dead zones in the magic web in Netheril came about in this way. Of course there are also dead zones that were formed directly after the ancient mazes were scrapped. In the eyes of the arcanists, there is no need to repair these. It is a thankless job and you may not earn any favor from the gods, but instead lose a lot of money.

As for those dead zones, only arcanists who have extremely firm faith in the Lady of Mysteries will attempt to repair them. Those arcanists are no longer doing it purely to gain divine grace, but to protect the magic network and the normal environment in which magic operates.

And not only within the territory of Netheril, but even in the dead zones outside of Netheril, if the opportunity arises, they don't mind repairing them. This is already beyond the realm of ordinary Netheril mages.

After the Northern Alliance was established, Netheril had proposed more than once to establish a magic network repair organization within the alliance framework, specializing in repairing the magic network in the North. The members would be mainly arcanists, and elves could also join in.

Of course, Netheril's purpose in making this suggestion was not simple, but objectively speaking, it was indeed a beneficial thing for the main plane.

However, due to the expansion of Netheril's influence and the various secrets involved in the anomalies of the magic network within various countries, Netheril's proposal was rejected.

And now, through this Illuminati attack, Shado has seen the fragility of the magic network or the magic network of the main plane, so he believes that it is very necessary and essential to set up a special magic network repair organization or magic network protection organization.

This is not like the Magic Limitation Treaty, which is used under the guise of protecting the magic network but is actually used to restrict the development of magic in developing countries.

Instead, it is truly only used to protect the magic network. All countries can fully consider re-discussing and signing a special treaty for protecting the magic network of the main plane, and then establish a special magic network protection organization based on this condition.

To protect the Weave is to protect the caster himself.

In this regard, arcanists are more adaptable than elven mages, but arcanists are not born. They also need to be cultivated from ordinary people and advanced from ordinary mages.

If the magic network environment is corrupted, it will inevitably affect the inheritance and growth of the arcanist.

If the situation is serious, spellcasters will not even need to wait for the living environment of the main plane to be destroyed. They will not be able to bear the high cost of casting and research and will choose to move to other planes.

In that case, although the main plane is still a habitable plane, it has lost the key soil for the development of magic, and continuous decline is the only outcome.

This is like in the Earth universe, all costs of conducting scientific activities on Earth suddenly increase tenfold or even higher. In this case, even if the Earth is still habitable, it has lost its potential for development.

Of course, up to the time of Xia Duo's travel, Earth was the only planet that could be migrated to in the universe. In addition, due to the limitations of aerospace technology, even if the cost of conducting scientific activities on Earth was very high, humans could not give up science as the only channel into the universe.

But in the magical world, even if other large habitable planes have not been discovered yet, there are already more than one small planes. Take the Sweet Water Triplane of Netheril as an example. Although it is a small plane, it can accommodate millions of people!
It is perfectly adequate as a temporary residence.

In other words, the magic net environment of the main plane is not as important to the caster as the earth environment is to the earthlings, so this also makes it difficult to protect the magic net. (End of this chapter)
