Wizard: Starting from the Skill Tree-Chapter 462: Crystalization Plan

The initial price for the Annihilation Holy Nail was thirty thousand Black Sail contribution points, and now it’s compensated with forty thousand, which is actually a gain of ten thousand Black Sail contribution points.

Duke’s actions at the time were defined as help and rescue for teammates, so these ten thousand contribution points were also considered a reward.

Most Wizard Organizations are like this, they absolutely will not shortchange such actions that aid teammates.

After all, in the Plane Battlefield, the only ones you can trust are your teammates behind you.

Duke now possesses more than two hundred eighty thousand contribution points and is contemplating how to best utilize these resources.

The Black Sail Treasure Vault contains all kinds of resources, and for him, what is most needed right now are the relevant materials necessary for advancing from Level 1 Liquidation Mage to Level 1 Crystalized Mage.

While most Wizards only need a crystal core of one attribute to advance to crystallization, Duke prepared for six different attribute crystal cores, making his advancement process naturally very different from other Wizards, requiring meticulous preparation.

Although he relies on having a high-level Elemental Affinity Talent for six attributes which allows such operations, the specific planning for the advancement process still requires some time for preparation.

Among this process, a lot of reference material is indispensable. Duke plans to exchange various related materials in the Black Sail Treasure Vault to clear some obstacles for his future advancement path.

After Duke finished checking the contribution point settlement document, he immersed his Spirit into the Black Sail Badge and found that the contribution points had indeed been credited.

He then entered the Black Sail Treasure Vault and began to browse the massive resource information within.

Duke’s goal was very clear, directly seeking information related to the advancement to Crystalized Mage, and with just a thought, the Black Sail Treasure Vault sensed it and automatically filtered a lot of related resource information for him.

"Standard Procedure for Single Element Crystalization Core"

"Feasibility Study on Dual Element Parallel Crystalization Theory"

"Guidance and Stable Application of High-Energy Energy Flow in Crystalization Process"

"Fundamentals of Compound Crystal Core Construction Based on Element Phase Difference Theory"

...

Most materials are about the single-element crystalization process, and this is the situation most Wizards face, so the related materials are the most abundant.

However, there are also some theoretical materials related to dual-element or even multi-element theories, though these mostly remain at theoretical research levels.

If the difficulty of single-element crystalization is 1, then for every additional element type, the difficulty increases several times.

For ordinary people, according to such difficulty accumulation, the success rate of crystallizing six types of elements approaches zero, almost impossible.

But Duke is different, he has preconditions that others don’t, which provides some possibility for his six-element crystalization.

Knowledge is always the most valuable thing; Duke exchanged one hundred thousand contribution points’ worth of materials in one go, all related to advancing to crystalization.

The newly obtained contribution points suddenly decreased to just over one hundred eighty thousand, but it’s all worth it.

Contribution points only have meaning when converted into resources, otherwise they are just a bunch of numbers.

Duke’s upcoming task is to carefully study these materials and also to grind proficiency; there are still many Magic from the Oracle Plane he brought back that aren’t at full level.

Once he grinds the remaining Magic and language skills that aren’t at full level to maximum, the gained free attribute points will be enough to increase his Spiritual Power to 150 points.

This will reach the threshold for advancing to Crystalized Mage, and the rest is just the matter of the advancement plan.

...

Three months later.

[Holy Dispel level increased, free attribute point +1]

[Holy Dispel: LV9 (Feature: Holy Light Protection)]

[Holy Light Protection: Holy Light protects you, reducing the impact of various negative statuses on you overall]

After Duke grinded Holy Dispel to full level, he obtained a feature of Holy Light Protection.

This is a passive feature that continuously takes effect, automatically reducing the impact of various negative statuses on oneself, such as greatly enhancing resistance to illusions, sleep, etc.

Duke feels that as more skills reach full level, the sheer number of passive skills would be substantial, creating a situation where he is surrounded by passive statuses.

The feature of Holy Light Protection is a minor matter. The more important part is the free attribute point.

[Physique: 22.3]

[Strength: 23.2]

[Agility: 21.6]

[Spirit: 126.6]

[Free Attribute Points: 14]

Looking at his attribute panel, Duke didn’t hesitate at all, directly allocating all the free attribute points into Spirit.

[Spirit: 126.6->140.6]

Spiritual Power reached 140 points, just ten points short of the Crystalized Mage threshold.

However, up till now, the secondary Magic and Level 1 Magic brought back from the Oracle Plane have also all grinded to full level, even points contributing to reaching this stage came from grinding the language of Devourer Plane to full level.

Duke isn’t very anxious about this because grinding for proficiency is a time-consuming process; haste won’t help.

He plans to find some Magic that increases proficiency quickly later on. If the Wizard Plane doesn’t have them, then he’ll go on another trip to the Oracle Plane to restock.

Duke is more focused on the issue of the advancement plan for Crystalized Mage, continuously researching the exchanged materials these three months.

He still hasn’t finished them, having only gone through a portion so far, spending a lot of time.

Duke’s efforts have borne substantial fruits; he has some ideas about his advancement plan.

Ordinary Wizards advance to Crystalized Mage by centering on a crystal core of a certain attribute to construct a Spiritual Power Crystal.

Crystal cores contain extremely high concentrations of attribute energy, effectively supporting the completion of the Spiritual Power crystallization process.

Duke’s method involves using crystal cores of six attributes, attempting to construct a Spiritual Power Crystal with these six cores, requiring careful balance maintenance.

This was his earlier idea because if balance isn’t well maintained during the construction process, uncontrollable issues could arise when Spiritual Power condenses into a crystal.

However, maintaining balance is the most difficult point; from the information Duke reviewed, even the dual attribute Spiritual Power crystallization process is already extremely challenging.

Achieving balance in this process necessitates highly controlled Spiritual Power, and the process is complex.

Additionally, this involves the material attributes of the crystal cores, which imposes certain demands on the crystal cores, needing adjustments and planning based on the characteristics of the two crystal cores.

Duke has now gathered six crystal cores: Heart of the Earth, Molten Fire Flower, Deep Sea Heart, Blood of the Dark, Cyan Mist Core, and uses the Divine Status of the God of Light to substitute for the Light Attribute crystal core.

After understanding the complexity of the crystalization process, he found it’s almost impossible to maintain the balance of these six crystal cores.
