Chapter 193: The Effect of the New Spell

Inside the Mage Tower, Naimi Xisi is in the laboratory studying the spell newly acquired from Sai Fa Er.

Sai Fa Er truly lives up to being Hei Zhang's son; the Spellbook he gave Naimi Xisi contains a large number of spells from the Eight Major Factions.

Just learning the Spell Models for these spells took Naimi Xisi a month; after engraving the newly acquired Spell Models onto his scales, the complexity of the scale patterns over his whole body rose another level.

The complexity of the scale patterns directly affects Juan Ce Long's magic resistance, and since Naimi Xisi has not given up passively grinding Power Gems, his magic resistance is now the highest of any whole‑body resistance.

Now, even without any defensive spells, any spell below Nine‑Ring has no effect on Naimi Xisi; the swarm tactics of low‑level mages are meaningless against him, as they cannot even breach his scale defense.

Even Nine‑Ring spells are at least half‑blocked by his scales; with defensive spells added, he can achieve complete magic immunity.

Of course, Legendary spells are an exception.

After all, Legendary spells differ from Nine‑Ring spells in both quality and quantity by orders of magnitude; no matter how absurd his scale magic resistance becomes, it cannot ignore the effect of Legendary spells.

But this is only the beginning; as long as he keeps grinding the Power Gem passive, someday Naimi Xisi will become truly all‑round invincible.

"Hmm, as I expected, this spell is exactly the first step toward moving the Mage Tower."

Naimi Xisi stared at the Spell Model drawn on the table with Magic Gem Powder and the stone levitating above it, a thoughtful glint flashing in his eyes.

Seven‑Ring Transformative Spell — 【Anti‑Gravity】.

The spell's effect makes the target item or creature "fall" upward—in plain terms, it makes the target float.

When Naimi Xisi first saw the spell, his immediate reaction was that it could be used on the Mage Tower!

If enough Magic Gems are used to inscribe a multitude of Anti‑Gravity spell runes at the base of the Mage Tower, the pyramid can certainly be made to float.

According to the Mage Tower Construction Guide, traditional mages who wish to build a floating Mage Tower create a tangible cloud that can bear weight and construct the tower directly upon that cloud.

Compared with Anti‑Gravity, this method has a drawback: the carrier bearing the Mage Tower is the cloud, not the tower itself.

That means if the cloud encounters trouble—such as a spell that removes its load‑bearing effect or an attack that disperses it—the Mage Tower will fall from the sky.

Anti‑Gravity is different; it makes the Mage Tower itself the levitating carrier, and its repulsion from the earth will keep the tower forever suspended aloft.

The only downside is that the Mage Tower will be inverted.

Anti‑Gravity causes the Mage Tower to "fall" upward, flipping everything so the original top becomes the bottom and vice versa.

Placing the runes on the upper half of the Mage Tower could solve this, but the awkward part is that Naimi Xisi's Mage Tower is pyramid‑shaped; the upper half has a narrow area, and most of that space is already occupied by runes serving spell amplifiers and defensive spells.

"Fine, let it be inverted; we can just remodel the interior of the Mage Tower," Naimi Xisi shrugged, unconcerned about the drawback.

Thinking it over, a floating inverted‑triangle Mage Tower does have a certain flair, like an alien spacecraft.

However, Naimi Xisi won't implement this for now; the floating issue is solved, but a more important problem remains.

That problem is "mobility".

Without mobility, a Mage Tower soaring in the sky is far more vulnerable than one on the ground; after all, a floating target is obviously less safe than a basin protected by an army.

But granting the Mage Tower mobility is not that easy. The pyramid can float because Naimi Xisi is attempting to permanently solidify Anti‑Gravity through sacrifice, milking the Magic Net.

He cannot imagine any constant spell that would allow the pyramid to move freely.

If such a spell existed, moving such a massive object would require an immensely powerful spell, with a constant cost measured in astronomical amounts.

Therefore, he must find a stable energy source to power the Mage Tower's propulsion.

A Mana Pool can serve as an energy source, barely enough to drive the Mage Tower's daily movement, but that would require Naimi Xisi to bind all his Spell Points into the pool each day, leaving none for the tower to cast other spells.

Thus, this idea must be abandoned.

"Ah, let's set it aside for now; we'll resume when the opportunity arises," Naimi Xisi resignedly packed away the research on Anti‑Gravity.

Then he produced several massive rubies, rubbing his hands with an expectant grin.

"Now that's the spell I'm really looking forward to."

Naimi Xisi closed his eyes and began chanting, mana surging from his body and coalescing onto the pile of rubies.

Rarely, the normally invisible Magic Net around him fluctuated abnormally, and the Arcane String trembled lightly, sending out waves of mana.

Seven‑Ring Transformative Spell — 【Limited Wish Spell】!

"Great Magic Net, I wish to obtain the King's Tear Gem!"

As the incantation finished, the ruby instantly turned to ash, and the next moment a much smaller teardrop‑shaped gem appeared in Naimi Xisi's hand.

"It worked!!" Naimi Xisi exclaimed excitedly.

The ruby transformed into the precious "King's Tear".

To explain what just happened, one must discuss the Wish Spell.

The Wish Spell is the most powerful spell of Sorcerers and Mages. As long as the Spellcaster loudly states a desire, they can alter reality to fulfill it.

The Wish Spell can be used to cast any spell below Nine‑Ring, even Divine Spells, regardless of whether the caster has learned them or if their class permits.

The Wish Spell can also create non‑magical items worth less than 25,000 gold.

It can also grant a Magic Item a new ability, or increase a recipient's attributes (up to a maximum of five points).

These are the common uses of the Wish Spell discovered by many senior Mages.

The Wish Spell can answer any desire, but overly greedy wishes are twisted by the Magic Net, leading to great peril.

For example, if a caster wishes for excessive wealth, the Magic Net may throw them into a melting lake of gold, burning them alive.

Thus, the limits of the Wish Spell's wishes are experiences painstakingly earned by great predecessors at the cost of their lives.

And the Limited Wish Spell Naimi Xisi is using now is a castrated version of the Wish Spell.
