Hearing what Tisi said, Rhodes glanced at her and retorted:
"What you feel now is just the lowest level of fire magic, which is nothing at all. Even Magog, who was just born, is more accomplished in fire magic than you are now."
As Rhodes said, what caught Tisi's attention was the new [Flame Affinity] feature of the Soul Furnace.
Under the influence of this characteristic, all creatures in the magic ship will upgrade their special skills: fire magic by one level.
Tisi, who has never mastered fire magic, gained the special skill of primary fire magic under the influence of this characteristic.
For Rhodes, who is familiar with various spells and possesses powerful spell-casting ability, he will not have any idea about the elementary fire magic. But for Tisi, who had never felt the power of magic, this was a very novel feeling.
After having this novel feeling, the first thing Tisi did was to share the news with Rhodes. Unfortunately, Rhodes' focus was not on this at all. Tisi's thoughts were destined to receive no response from Rhodes.
After hearing what Rhodes said, Tisi lowered her head slightly and didn't answer anything. Rhodes' words seemed to extinguish the enthusiasm that had just arisen in her heart.
Looking at Tisi like this, Rhodes sighed slightly.
Rhodes knew that among hell creatures, succubi were relatively gifted in magic. They could master magic other than fire. If he undergoes specialized training like Master Brakada, his strength can even surpass that of mages of the same level.
It's a pity that the environment in hell is far from comparable to the magic academy in Brakada. It is even more impossible to learn spells here with peace of mind.
Unlike Hela, who has mastered various spells, Tis has not even been exposed to magic. The scars on her body also explain to Rhodes how she has been treated.
Tisi, who looks like this, naturally doesn't understand what new abilities will be gained every time the fire magic is upgraded to a level, so she will say something that seems stupid to Rhodes.
"You feel the call of those flames, which are actually the flow of magic elements." Sighing, a somewhat helpless Rhodes said to Tisi, "In hell, the fire magic element is extremely rich, not to mention us now, We are still above the lake of fire, and the only thing that exists here is the element of fire magic, which is why you have those feelings."
While explaining to Tisi, Rhodes stretched out his hand in front of Tisi.
Following Rhode's movement, a ball of flame ignited in his palm, forming a condensed fireball that continued to move with his palm, dangling in front of Tisi.
"This is the ability of primary fire magic. On this magic ship, I can condense this ball of fire, and so can you."
Rhodes explained to Tisi the efficacy of primary fire magic. This was the only thing he could do for Tisi.
"I...can I do it too?" Tisi asked.
"Well, you have the ability to do so, but that's just the ability."
Looking at Tisi's body, Rhodes analyzed: "Condensing flames requires the consumption of mana. Although it does not consume much, you must meditate. In addition, casting spells also requires the cooperation of the arms."
Listening to Rhodes' explanation, Tisi's eyes just showed a bright look, but immediately dimmed.
"What's wrong? Don't you want to know the ability of fire magic?" Seeing Tisi's expression sinking, Rhodes asked.
While asking Tisi, Rhodes did not forget to stretch out his other arms and let the newly condensed fireballs move between the palms of his hands, moving faster and faster from one hand to another, without any trace of damage. It means to stop.
Seeing Rhode's movements, Tisi felt a little relieved and whispered: "I also want to condense the fireball like Lord Ailot, but unfortunately, I don't have such a chance..."
Tisi did not continue speaking, Rhodes already understood what she meant and glanced at her empty arm.
"The vast majority of mages need one hand to cooperate when casting spells. In addition to controlling the flow of mana, it is more important to control the direction of the spell. Except for a few spells that can be released directly, such as teleportation, almost all This is true for damage spells."
Rhodes thought for a while and said to Tisi: "But this doesn't mean that you can't cast spells if you lose your arms. It's just that compared to using other parts of the body to control the flow of mana, the control of the arms is the most stable. And it’s the most convenient.”
As he spoke, Rhodes opened his mouth slightly, and a blazing fireball condensed in front of his mouth.
Without using any other magic, Rhodes used only the power of primary fire magic to condense the fireball.
After dispersing the fireball, Rhodes seemed to be smoked and coughed repeatedly, but he still said to Tisi: "How is it? Do you understand now? Well...even if you don't have arms, as long as you practice more and have a strong Spellcasting skills, and the ability to use the power of magic.”
Tisi nodded vigorously, she believed in what Rhodes said. Rhode's words also made her think about practicing fire magic.
Seeing that Tisi didn't ask any more questions, Rhodes was secretly relieved. What she didn't notice was that Rhode's tone became a little deeper when he said the latter sentence.
Although there are indeed mages who can cast spells by mouth, and the spells they release are not weaker than normal forms of spell casting, Rhodes does not know this method at all, and has not been trained in this area.
In Rhode's impression, arm spellcasting has an absolute advantage. Except for mages like Tisi whose arms are injured and unable to cast spells, and a very small number of magic assassins who can adapt to extreme environments, there are almost no mages who specialize in training to cast spells with their mouths.
In Brakada's magic academy, mages will try their best to maintain their appearance and maintain the demeanor of a spell caster when fighting. If you cast a spell orally and burn yourself to ashes as soon as you release a fireball, you will be laughed at by other mages for a long time.
The fireball that Rhodes condensed in his mouth in front of Tisi was not a method of casting spells in his mouth, but the effect of the fusion ritual.
In order to comfort Tissi, Rhodes re-fused the smaller Magog arm that had been fused into his body not long ago into his mouth. The fireball Tisi saw was just the hand in his mouth. A fireball condensed in a conventional way.
