Professor's house in Portland, underground workshop.
Valeera was leaning over the research table, her right hand using the pen sometimes slow and sometimes fast, leaving lines and circles of strange lines drawn with spiritual blood on the page.
This is the prerequisite step for making the "Messenger Token"——
Translate and redesign the ritual magic of "Summoning Messenger" so that it can be solidified into a carrier made of spiritual materials.
Valeera expected it to be true. After receiving the blessing of the "Artisan" item, and relying on the newly acquired occult knowledge, she generally had the ability in this area.
Swish swish swish.
After a while, Valeera completed another version of the design.
She moved the tip of her pen, past a large area of interconnected symbols, and clicked on the triggering node.
laugh!
The spiritual blood ink on the paper burned, and the solidified ritual magic was activated.
In the firelight, a small round shadow appeared in front of Valeela with brilliant light refraction.
After a set of dazzling light and shadow changes, the messenger "Remuel" ended the transformation of his own projection and returned to the perfect geometric shape of a regular octahedron.
It's waiting for Valeera to deliver the letter.
Before the spiritual blood ink burned out, Valeela quickly explained a few words to explain the situation, and found that her messenger had been forced to return to the spirit world.
Valeela glanced at the complicated patterns on the page and sighed:
"Well, if I were a real "craftsman", I would be able to create a more concise design..."
Valeela quickly shook her head, put aside distracting thoughts, and continued her work.
Regardless of whether it is simple or not, she has finally completed the preparatory preparations for the solidification ceremony. The next thing to do is to actually make the "messenger token".
It's a pity that the brooches, whistles and other small accessories she had prepared as the base could not be put to use now.
Valeera spent some time processing a small piece of domino the size of her palm, and then used a carving knife to carve the designed solidification ceremony on it——
In this way, a simple and rough "messenger token" is completed.
Valeela set up the domino and tapped it lightly on the table as if using a seal, successfully triggering the ritual and once again summoning her messenger "Remir" to reality.
After briefly simulating the message delivery process, Valeera struck the domino again to cancel the summons, and then began to examine the prototype "Messenger Token" in her hand.
[Currently used, it is the most complete and best-used app for listening to books. It integrates 4 major speech synthesis engines, over 100 kinds of sounds, and supports offline reading.
With the help of the carved symbols, Valeera spread her spirituality to communicate, and selected the newly made dominoes as the objects of "transcendental diversion", establishing a solid connection.
During this process, the imprinting patterns of the solidification ceremony did not significantly interfere with her attempts.
Valeera held the domino in her hand, communicated spiritually, and followed the vein of "Extraordinary Diversion" to save and withdraw some power from herself, consuming her spiritual energy.
It feels a bit like using a whalebone charm.
The unique spirituality that contained extraordinary abilities spontaneously aroused, opening up Valeera's "grey vision" for a few seconds.
During the whole process, in addition to the symbolic symbols that lit up on the dominoes, Valeera, as the source of the "extraordinary shunt", also felt the flow of spirituality:
She communicated with the dominoes to extract the power of spiritual consumption, following the occult connection, and finally flowed into her own shadow that had been transformed through rituals.
This made her feel a bit like a humanoid sealed object——
It is also about converting the input spirituality into the corresponding extraordinary ability and then outputting it. There doesn't seem to be much difference between the two.
After the initial test, Valeela temporarily gave up further exploration of the "Transcendent Diversion" ability, and instead began to verify the function of the domino summoning the messenger.
Benedict!
With the soft sound of dominoes knocking on the table, the brilliant refracted light soon appeared again, and the messenger "Remir" who had just left the scene appeared again in the real world.
Unlike the previous two times, this time it was a bit eager.
Valeera looked at its ever-changing postures, hesitated for a moment, and waved her hand to establish a "connection" between it and herself for easy communication.
…
After a brief spiritual communication, Valeela understood the reason for her messenger’s eagerness——
It felt the "extraordinary diversion" attached to the dominoes and expressed a strong desire to explore.
Valeera had no objections to this, and she cooperated by placing the domino in the middle of the circular shadow, as a loan to her messenger for trial use.
One of her original purposes tonight was to explore the details of her "Extraordinary Diversion" ability. Now that the messenger "Lemiel" has volunteered, she obviously has no reason to refuse.
On the table, the gray-white dominoes were like top hats falling into the lake, slowly sinking into dark gray circular shadows.
Immediately afterwards, Valeela felt a considerable amount of spirituality flowing into her own shadow that had been transformed by the ritual.
The next moment, she saw that the body of the messenger "Remuel", the dark gray shadow that had always been round, began to change, and the shape and color were no longer fixed... From time to time, it stretched out its tentacles to move the objects on the table. Sometimes it turns into a shuttle shape and moves quickly on the table. Finally, it shows a trace of black luster on the edge, leaving deep scratches on the table.
Valeela recognized that this was her "Shadow" related ability.
After watching the messenger's performance, she stretched out her green-white palm toward the table and said mentally, "Okay, it's time to return the domino to me. I still have to check its completion."
"..."
The messenger "Lemuel" did not reply, nor did he spit out the dominoes.
