The Necromancer in the Wizarding World

After more than two months of intensive training, Matthews has mastered the dozens of spellcasting combinations he designed. However, what he currently lacks is real combat experience.

On the other hand, thanks to the help of meditation-aiding potions, Matthews's mental power has made rapid progress during this period of time. He can now smoothly outline all the mental will runes in "Death Wing".

In fact, the level of wizards is determined by the quality and quantity of spiritual power. Whenever the quality of spiritual power changes, it means that the wizard has been promoted to a new level.

For wizard apprentices, there are three opportunities for spiritual power leaps on their growth path:

Become a first-class wizard apprentice - outline a single basic will rune in the mental space, and under this stimulation, the mental power completes the first jump;

Advance to a second-class wizard apprentice - complete the outline of all basic will runes, and under this stimulation, the mental power will usher in a second leap;

Finally, you will be promoted to a third-class wizard apprentice - able to completely outline all the will runes including basic and filled ones. At this time, your mental power will achieve the third leap.

Although there are three spiritual leaps possible during the apprenticeship stage, the spiritual power of the apprentices is essentially still at the same level, and the essence of life has not changed substantially. Therefore, such spiritual leaps are also called pseudo-leaps, or it is more accurate to call them surges.

Once he was promoted to a third-class wizard apprentice, the previously elusive spiritual space began to become clearly discernible, and the spiritual will runes gradually emerged in this space. Matthews realized that this was his basic spiritual consciousness space, also known as the zeroth level spiritual consciousness space, which meant that he still belonged to the category of mortals.

Now, Matthews has successfully reached the level of a third-class wizard apprentice. He needs to go to the apprentice registration hall immediately to update his apprentice information in order to officially qualify to participate in the points battle.

Matthews hurried into the registration hall, but unexpectedly met Senior Sister Leah. He clearly remembered that when he and Charles first arrived at the Eternal Night Cave, it was Senior Sister Leah who enthusiastically assisted them in completing the admission procedures.

He greeted her warmly: "Senior Leah, long time no see!"

Leah looked at the apprentice in front of her. Although more than a year had passed, his figure was still deeply imprinted in her mind. She had seen this high-profile figure from afar in the corner of the academy many times, but she never dared to approach him and talk to him.

"Matthews, you still remember me?" She was a little flattered.

Matthews smiled and said, "Of course, how could I forget you, senior? I will always remember the help you gave to me and Charles." His words revealed sincerity and gratitude.

Hearing these words, Leah felt a warm current in her heart. She didn't expect that Matthews was still so approachable and still cherished the little friendship in the past.

In the academy, her status was already very low. As she failed to reach the third-class wizard apprentice within the stipulated time, she was assigned to this registration hall, responsible for assisting apprentices in handling relevant procedures for a long time. Despite this, she still performed her duties with all her heart.

"Thank you, Matthews." Leah said gratefully, "Do you need to go through any procedures?"

"Yes, I'm here to update my apprenticeship information," Matthews replied.

"Okay, come with me, I'll take you there." Leah began to perform her duties without hesitation, leading Matthews to the place where the procedures were to be handled.

During the formalities, when Leah learned that Matthews had become a third-class wizard apprentice, she was shocked. At the same time, she felt a deep sense of loss in her heart, and she realized that the gap between herself and the genius was too big.

However, she did not give up on herself, but strengthened her faith and determination. She believed that as long as she persevered in pursuing her dreams, she would be as successful as Matthews one day.

Matthews asked Leah for detailed information about the third-class apprentice points battle and learned that the competition will be held as scheduled at the beginning of next month, and the list of participants will be finalized before the end of the month.

He felt relieved in his heart that it was almost the end of the month and he had finally updated his apprenticeship information in time. Otherwise, if there was any delay, he might miss this valuable training opportunity.

After bidding farewell to Leah, Matthews set out for the pharmacy laboratory with full enthusiasm and expectation. He planned to report his recent training results and progress to Teacher Fernando.

At the same time, he needed to continue to improve his skills in potion making. Only by making continuous progress could he live up to his teacher's expectations and care. He must not let his teacher think that he was complacent and lazy after becoming a disciple of the inheritance.

Thanks to the significant improvement in his mental strength, he is now able to attempt to make many complex potions that would have previously been daunting for him.

When Matthews entered the pharmacy laboratory, he did not see Teacher Fernando. He hesitated for a moment, then acted according to the original plan. He placed the photo ball in a position to ensure that he could clearly record his experimental process for later review and summary.

Teacher Fernando had already carefully taught him a lot of knowledge about potion making, and he could start practicing independently once his mental strength reached a certain level.

Now, Matthews' mental strength has met the minimum requirements for making primary potions, and he is confidently ready to face the next challenge.

In the wizard world's potion system, potions are strictly divided into five levels, namely basic (level zero), primary, intermediate, advanced and super. These five levels not only represent the increasing potency of the potion, but also reflect the complexity and sophistication of the production process.

Basic potions, also known as zero-level potions, are the starting point of alchemy. Their effectiveness is limited to the apprentice level and is basically useless for formal wizards.

Primary potions are the entry-level potions used by formal wizards. Compared with basic potions, primary potions are more powerful and have more diverse effects.

The wizarding world also has strict standards for the quality grading of potions. Based on the quality and potency of potions, they are divided into three levels: low-quality, medium-quality, and high-quality. These three levels of potions can all be called entry-level potions, but their quality and potency are different.

When it comes to making graded potions, the skill requirements will be greatly increased. Only those potions that can meet the entry standards can be identified as qualified primary potions, otherwise they are inferior. This not only requires pharmacists to have more sophisticated production skills, but also requires them to have a deeper understanding and mastery of potion ingredients and production processes.

Although Matthews has laid a certain foundation in pharmacy, he still faces many challenges in further mastering higher-level pharmacy-making skills.

At this time, Master Fernando walked into the laboratory. When he saw Matthews concentrating on making the medicine, a satisfied look appeared on his face. He walked to the laboratory table, carefully observed every move of Matthews, and nodded from time to time to show his approval.

When Matthews finished making the potion, Master Fernando immediately took it and carefully examined it. He found that it was a bottle of Komos antidote, which was a primary potion. Although the smell of the potion was correct, the color did not meet the standard.

The master concluded that this was not due to a mistake in basic operation, but a problem of insufficient more advanced mental control.

This is exactly where the difficulty of making advanced potions lies. Making advanced potions not only requires pharmacists to accurately adjust and control the temperature of the magic crucible, but also requires them to use their mental power to meticulously guide the fusion of the potion liquid.

The fusion of drug liquid not only involves the speed issue, but also requires precise control of the degree of fusion reaction. Any deviation may lead to the failure of the entire production process.
