Generally speaking, the manufacture of a staff requires a caster to reach level 7, but with the help of "Wild Arcane", "Blacksmith's Blessing" and modern industry, Chen Zhou was able to barely meet the lower limit of the manufacturing requirements at level 5, but Also only for simple types.
However, compared to the staff, he felt that his current expectation for the finished product was closer to the scepter. That thing could be easily made by a level 5 spellcaster.
"Speaking of which, I basically don't know much about magical girls."
It wasn't until he started drafting the design that Chen Zhou realized a problem——
"I only know that the magical girl's staff can be reduced to the size of a key at ordinary times. It can be restored to its original shape in battle and can be used as a mace. She has to change her clothes every episode. She must have a lily, and there will be a mascot."
Other than that, Chen Zhou knew almost nothing about the profession of magical girl.
"Don't you know magical girls very well?"
"It's strange, but Lily heard from the people of the Star that magical girls are witches in their childhood. They will experience arduous experiences, cruel battle losses and touching friendships?" 』
Chen Zhou wondered, isn't the magical girl a submissive? How come she has to go through battle damage and experience? At most, she has a pineapple and pineapple body like a white devil who is good at fucking, but she can still be a lily.
"Anyway, she's a girl who converts magic power into bombardment. She looks more like a magical version of a barbarian than a spell caster."
『? 』
The three of them seemed to have a different understanding of the profession of magical girls.
In any case, shelling is indeed a very simple and direct method of killing. Even archmages and electors will learn abilities such as arcane fire and silver fire.
"No problem. It's Unit 1 anyway. Zhenbing as the core is more than enough to create high-level magic items. Let's add all the useful functions to it."
Energy storage, conversion, bombardment, fire control, melee, shield, buff, auxiliary magic, intelligence, etc...
The goal is that the finished product must be able to transform an ordinary third-grade elementary school girl into a sky fortress.
"Wow, how much does a staff with so many functions cost. 』
"Are you going to create an artifact? And the main principle of upgradable magic items is to gradually unlock and upgrade their functions!"
Chen Zhou suddenly realized that it was true that losing strength and gaining new strength was also a very important part, so he needed to leave room for upgrades for the staff.
As for whether it is an artifact or not, he doesn't think the magic item he expected can reach a level that is superior to ordinary magic items. Only things that are more powerful than legendary magic items can be called inferior artifacts or artifacts.
For example, the very famous "All Things Impermanent Card" falls into the category of secondary artifacts.
"At most, it's just a relic (also called a holy object), a strange object that's a little bit more special than ordinary magic items."
At least Chen Zhou feels that his creative ideas are very consistent with the spirit of industrialization. As long as he has enough resources, his products can be copied in batches.
"Kitten, even if you make something like that, ordinary people besides you won't be able to use it, right?"
"Yes, the extremely low temperature of Zhenbing has high requirements on the holder's physical fitness and cold resistance. 』
To describe it in a slightly more popular way, when you get close to Zhenbing, you will continue to receive varying amounts of cold damage. This damage will gradually increase with the content and strength of Zhenbing.
This means that ordinary people without cold resistance have to use "resistance to energy damage" or similar spell effects just to hold it, which consumes very high magic power.
"So when it is used by normal humans, do we have to deliberately degrade Zhenbing? Can't we just seal the low temperature in normal times?"
Zhenbing's severe cold is of magical nature. If it can be suppressed... then the entire magic item will be ineffective.
As for making the holder directly immune to cold?
For example, the White Dragon Ring, which is always resistant to cold, costs 60,000 gold coins in Sigil City, while the Ice Soul Ring, which is directly immune (but is vulnerable to fire), costs 100,000 gold coins.
"Actually, this price is not unacceptable. After all, we are not paying for it."
Chen Zhou suddenly realized that he was actually using other people's money to make toys for himself, so was there any need to care about the cost?
That’s it for the pile function!
Even the legendary mage's net worth may not be as high as that of a superpower like Blue Star. Don't underestimate the national budget.jpg
"Then the problem is very simple. We only need to provide the holder of the ring with the soul-covering effect of ice, and limit the low temperature of Zhenbing's magic to the surface."
After realizing this, Chen Zhou and Wolong Fengxia, who had no worries, immediately began to conceive of the staff.
The first thing to decide is naturally the shape of the staff.
"Since it is obviously an ice-attributed staff, how about the body of the staff also be made of translucent blue crystal? 』
It's not clear whether the human girl likes Lily, but she likes this kind of crystal clear and sparkling jewelry.
However, Chen Zhou and Jerry rejected her proposal immediately.
"No, the crystal structure means weakness to sonic attacks. We need to consider the structural strength of the staff."
"Rejected, I will use this staff in the end. It must be able to be used as a weapon at the same time."
As he spoke, Chen Zhou drew a staff in the shape of a long-handled battle ax on the paper.
"How about this, which combines parts of a staff (handle) and a gem (axe blade)."
Lily was dumbfounded, this thing was a staff! ?
"An ax is an excellent weapon. It can break armor, open cans, and slash at the same time. To Rat Rat, I recommend the Slaughter Ax invented by the orc blacksmith of Belkzen in the Golarion plane. It is more suitable for powerful warriors."
Chen Zhou had heard about this. It seemed to be an extra-large axe (3d6 basic damage, but couldn't be used if its strength was less than 19), but he was not very good at weapons that require operation.
Whether it's technical or strength.
"Can't we choose a girlish appearance?" 』
She thought a standard staff inlaid with Zhenbing and carved with a dragon looked pretty good. She should use a sword again. How could any magical girl use an ice battle axe?
"There was one who used a thunder battle axe." Chen Zhou recalled, and how could the staff be such an inconvenient thing.
"Strictly speaking, magical girls are a variant of the path of the knight, and the essence of the knight is a combat professional, so it is normal for magical girls to use heavy swords, slaughter axes, cutting spears, stabbing chains, and flails. ah."
Lily wailed, feeling that she might not be able to get the staff they were about to make.
"But there's no need to care so much about appearance. After all, it's not important."
Finally, Chen Zhou came up with a material that fit both parties' ideas: "Let's just use ice essence as the body of the staff. The material with a steel-strength crystal appearance should be both beautiful and practical."
