The mistress relaxed a bit as she beckoned for Vivian to corown a lot closer to her, thus Vivian obediently walked over to where therooently ”I have so to discuss with your brother”
Vivian looked at Soran for approval, which he granted by nodding, before leaving the roo Vivian out of the roorave voice, ”I want to know everything about your past, especially notable events or incidents”
Soran looked at her, but then shook his head and said, ”I apologize, but there's really nothing worthWe've been orphans for years, and all we’ve done is struggle to survive in the sluain and proceeded in a cal must have happened to awaken her inner powers Sorcerers only awaken to their pohen they suffer intense e special…?” Soran startled for aoccurred to hi one of my missions and was in a coma for half a ot well soon after”
The lanced at him and hly probable that this was the incident which activated her powers
”Vivian's too young As she grows up, her poill grow stronger too If she doesn't learn how to control her oers, she will cause harm to not only others, but herself as well You're not a spellcaster yourself, so I guess you don't understand just how y she is If I had to put it into words, I’d say she's even y? Soran shuddered after hearing the word It can't be… Vivian has the Gifted Ability Spellcasting Prodigy?!
It was pretty much the best ability one could have as a spellcaster If Soran remembered correctly, those with the ability would receive a +2 bonus to their spellcasting score, which increased both the dae and accuracy of their spells Furtherardless of what spell they used This meant that if they cast spells which normally had a invocation time of less than a second, they would be completed and cast immediately
Now that I think about it, the invocation tie But as soon as Vivian finished chanting, she really seeht as he recalled the night Vivian cast a spell in front of him
Level 0 spells had short chants, usually only one or two syllables The time needed to chant them was less than a second Without any abilities like Vivian’s, the spellcaster had to gather the eleies required before they could complete the spell and invoke it Soran, who did not know too , could not clearly tell if Vivian had invoked the spell immediately, but the mistress, as a witch, could tell If she called Vivian a prodigy, she y It was a special ability which could not be obtained no matter how hard one trained
All spellcasters could increase their spellcasting score bonus by assigning attribute points into the attribute they , which differed from profession to profession Their score bonus would also increase by one every ti wizards as an exaence For a Level 5 wizard who had 16 Intelligence, his spellcasting score bonus could be calculated by [Profession Level 5 + (Intelligence 16 - Threshold Value 10) ÷ 2 = 8] The threshold value was 10 regardless of profession and attribute
Spellcasting score, which was so left behind by the Arcane Empire in ancient times, was a numerical value which reflected the power of a spell Every spell had its own spellcasting score, and the actual score of a cast spell could be found by adding that to the caster’s spellcasting score bonus The Level 0 spell Electric Jolt had a low score of 3; when cast by the above-mentioned Level 5 wizard, the spell’s score would be 11 (Spell score: 3 + Caster score bonus: 8)
The spellcasting score of a cast spell was basically the dae dealt to a person who had no equipment and no combat profession For co score of 11 would deal 11 da them However, those who had coe due to their skills, abilities, and higher Constitutions The above-e in this case, which was akin to an electric shock
If Vivian indeed had Spellcasting Prodigy, then the Electric Jolt cast would have a score of [3+(1+2)+(21-10) ÷ 2=115], which was 05 higher than the Level 5 wizard However, the i was that Vivian was still only a Level 1 sorcerer
The difference in power between Vivian and typical spellcasters would beco one-hit-kill spells like Finger of Death One-hit-kill spells, along with other spells like Web, Chare directly; whether or not these spells were effective on the target depended on the difference between the spellcasting score of the cast spell and the target's Fortitude rating For Vivian, who had a high spellcasting score bonus, the chances of her one-hit-kill endary Wizards usually had a spellcasting score bonus of around 30; of that, 20 caence, and a few rade equip from +1 to +3 as well
Given Vivian's talent, she would definitely obtain the ability Practiced Spellcaster in the future This would further reduce her invocation speed by another second,that she could instantly cast spells which had invocation times of two seconds or below
The mistress and Soran remained silent for a short while
The mistress looked at Soran, then continued, ”Before you ca cere pleasant”
Fortune telling? Is that the branch of divination ic unique to the Northern witches? Soran wondered They can see pheno one's future, if I remember correctly
However, they could only see blurry irade spell, Divination, could only show a few scenes of as to come The scenes were short, and from the moe
The further the predicted event was into the future, the higher the chance things would deviate and end up differently This hy divination was best used to foresee events which would occur soon after in order to avoid or prepare for undesirable events The erous was about to occur back in Ae it, thus she hurriedly left the city with her merchant squad
Soran took in a deep breath and asked slowly, ”What did you see?”
”Blood and fire,” the mistress replied with a serious expression
”The divination cereht not be exactly what is going happen, but they still reflect Vivian’s future Blood represents slaughter and death,there will be deaths around her Fire represents war and destruction,multiple events of mass destruction in the future
”We Northern witches have performed the ceremony plenty of times, but we’ve seldom seen both these scenes on one person Of those with both, soreat emperors who created massive empires, some becaendary existences Even though they ended up differently, there was one thing in cohts, wars, slaughtering, and death”
She took in a deep breath before she continued, ”Vivian's future is bound to be full of thorns, and I'm sorry to say this, but you can't protect her with your ability
”Let h you are afraid of so! I'm not sure what you're so scared of, but I can sense that you are trying to escape frohtest threat to you two
”I's in your mind Perhaps that is why you cannot trust me, even now”
