14: Chapter 14 Flame Model

The matter of potion recipes could be put aside for now.

This was an apprentice-grade potion that Ross had not yet prepared.

Ross was not in a hurry to refine the other two apprentice-grade potions either, since he didn't even have the recipes.

After all, Potionology is an important skill rooted in the path of Wizard cultivation, and it cannot be accomplished overnight.

With Ross's experience at his age, he had long understood that everything required a solid foundation.

Haste makes waste, and impatience scatters the essence.

Ross was currently penniless, and apprentice-grade Water Lily Magic Plants were still planted in his own magic field.

If things went smoothly, they could be harvested in a little over twenty days, and his magic stones would become much more abundant.

While retaining the cost of planting the next season's magic plants, he could try to buy a magic cauldron, and it didn't need to be an especially expensive one.

After all, apprentice-grade potions did not require such high-quality apparatus for extraction and refinement.

Now Ross was going to the Hall of Knowledge to exchange for a Magic Flame Model.

Not only was it an important means used in the quenching process of Potionology, but the model itself was also the crystallization of knowledge regarding the study of flames.

Ross had not been here since he exchanged for his first Spell Model, Hand of Magic.

The ones in his hands were [Hand of Magic], [Purification Spell], and [Wild Bees Dancing].

Except for [Hand of Magic], the other two were obtained through his cheat-like golden finger card draw.

The Hall of Knowledge housed many Spell Models of the Elius Wizard Academy.

The first floor contained apprentice-grade Spell Models.

The more precious Official Wizard-grade models were on the second floor.

The receptionists here assisted Wizard Apprentices in need with their exchanges.

This kind of popular position belonged to the higher-paying jobs.

Generally, one had to be a capable Level 1 Apprentice or someone with connections to hold it.

"Good morning, this Wizard Apprentice."

"I wonder what kind of model you would like to exchange for?"

said the staff member.

"I need to exchange for the basic Magic Flame Model," Ross replied.

"The basic Magic Flame Model is 5 points."

"Tell me your name."

"Ross is my name," Ross said.

"Understood. The academy system shows that you only have 5 points. Will you use them to exchange for the basic model of the Magic Flame?"

"Yes."

"Alright, Junior Brother Ross. The one-time reading scroll for the basic Magic Flame Spell Model will disappear after use."

"The academy stipulates that it cannot be spread externally, otherwise there will be severe punishment."

...

After Ross used the scroll, what exactly was the principle of the Magic Flame used for refining potions?

Refining potions required extremely precise control over the heat, demanding high-precision mastery from the wizard.

The characteristics of the flame had an important impact on the quality of the potion.

The characteristics of the flame were not only the temperature of the flame and the trace mana changes it carried, but also various types of material transformations.

Different potions required different Magic Flames for processing.

Sometimes when refining a potion, it might be necessary to use different Magic Flames for quenching.

Even when some mistakes occurred in the preceding steps, the proportion and processing time of the subsequent Magic Flame needed to be changed accordingly.

Potionology was also an empirical science.

A discipline that attached great importance to practical operation and emphasized long-term refining experience.

After using the scroll, Ross had a certain understanding of the specific operations of the Magic Flame Model.

The specific operation was to use the Spell Model to summon flames and inject elemental particles according to different proportions.

According to this method, Magic Flames of different attributes could be created.

For example, the most commonly used Magic Flame summoned by driving the Spell Model with fire elements.

Its temperature could reach 1,000 degrees Celsius.

Its characteristic was extreme high temperature, and this kind of flame was generally used when refining some stubborn potions that were difficult to melt.

As well as the commonly used wood element Magic Flame.

Since most medicinal materials of potions contained magic plants,

and these magic plants were generally relatively fragile in nature, at least much more fragile than some metal or stone materials,

therefore, it was necessary to use a gentler wood element Magic Flame for smelting.

In the wood element Magic Flame, the proportion of wood elements was relatively high, but it still contained other elements.

Its temperature was not lower than the fire element Magic Flame; it was just gentler in characteristics and closer to nature, preventing overly explosive properties from causing damage to the magic plants.

The application of Magic Flames in Potionology was extremely numerous.

Various Magic Flames were based on the same basic Magic Flame and Spell Model, trying various elements for quenching and refining techniques.

What an excellent expert in the field of Potionology needed was more than just perfect control over the Magic Flame.

Of course, this was only peripheral knowledge of Potionology. To become a true Potion Master, merely mastering the Magic Flame was not enough.

But so far, if this kind of knowledge could be learned well, it could at least greatly simplify the refining process when quenching apprentice-grade potions.

However, just mastering the Spell Model of the Magic Flame was actually not enough for Ross at present; he still did not have the conditions and materials to refine potions.

But a variable Spell Model like the Magic Flame was actually quite practical for him.

Before obtaining it, Ross's only means of attack was actually the Hand of Magic.

Although [Hand of Magic], according to the strength of the condensed mana, had an attack effect no weaker than ordinary offensive Spell Models,

it could not be concealed.

After all, it was a straight-line attack means.

It still lacked some versatile responses.

Although the Magic Flame Spell Model was a functional model mainly used in the refining process of Potionology,

as a wizard, the most indispensable thing was sensitivity to knowledge.

When Ross saw its diverse changes, he thought of using its characteristics to try some attacks.

You must know that a Magic Flame capable of reaching temperatures of thousands of degrees Celsius was not weak in power.

During the Wizard Apprentice stage, the physical bodies of apprentices were still made of flesh and blood.

Although with the blessing of mana, their resistance to various physical attacks was greatly improved,

just like beasts feared fire, any living creature would harbor a certain fear of natural disasters like fire and thunder, which still possessed lethal effectiveness against them.
