Frederick is renowned at the Crystal Tower for his "Thousand-Talisman Hand," one of the few Masters in the Enchantment Element who truly understands the High Tier Rune System.
Having the opportunity to listen to his class in person is a rare chance, which is why Ron specifically waited until today to come.
"First, let’s make one thing clear."
Frederick’s gaze swept across the room:
"Among all of you here, perhaps less than one percent can truly become Enchanters. This isn’t to discourage you but a statement of objective fact."
He raised his right hand, palm up, and a complex rune appeared in the air, emitting a gentle silver light.
"Enchantment is an art that demands an extremely high precision of Spiritual Control. Unlike most Wizardry disciplines, it not only requires the accumulation of theoretical knowledge but also an innate Spiritual Perception and Coordination Ability."
Under the guidance of his fingertips, the rune constantly changed form, demonstrating the structures and Energy Flow methods of various basic runes.
"Rune Magic is the foundation of Enchantment Technique, while Enchantment Technique is the soul of Rune Magic. The two complement each other and are indispensable."
His explanation was deep yet straightforward, expressing complex theories in simple and clear language.
Accompanied by exquisite demonstrations, even the most basic rune structures exhibited an astonishing elegance and power in his hands.
Ron listened intently, occasionally comparing and integrating it with his own known knowledge system in his mind.
He found that much of what Frederick was teaching differed from what he had learned through other means previously.
Especially in terms of the energy flow paths of runes, the theoretical system of the Crystal Tower was evidently more precise and efficient.
"Common runes are divided into three major categories: Control Runes, Energy Runes, and Effect Runes. True enchantment must combine the three types of runes to form a complete Rune Array to achieve a stable and lasting effect."
Frederick drew three different types of basic runes in the air, which gradually combined under his guidance into a simple glowing Rune Array.
"This is the most basic ’Micro Light Array,’ an entry test for an Official Enchanter. It seems uncomplicated but severely tests the Caster’s control over rune lines and the precision of energy infusion."
As the explanation continued, Ron felt a wonderful resonance rising in his heart.
This feeling was not merely a learning experience but a deeper connection, as if he had found a missing piece of a long-lost puzzle.
[New Skill Detected]
[Rune Magic (Beginner 1/50)]
[Enchantment Technique (Beginner 1/50)]
A translucent panel’s prompt appeared in Ron’s mind, confirming his intuition.
The Profession panel had automatically integrated this knowledge into a system, forming a complete learning path.
Ron was moved, and during Frederick’s demonstration, he quietly opened his Profession panel to check the newly acquired profession information.
[Enchanter (Two and a Half Stars)]
[Job Change Conditions:
1. Rune Magic reaches the proficient level
2. Enchantment Technique reaches the proficient level
3. Spiritual Power reaches above 5.0
4. Successfully complete at least three different types of Rune Array]
A flash of understanding appeared in Ron’s eyes.
As he had suspected, being an Enchanter is a profession without an apprentice stage, beginning directly from the Official Wizard level.
This also explained why true Enchanters were so rare, as the entry threshold already exceeded the apex of apprentices.
"Rune Magic and Enchantment Technique are disciplines that are easy to learn but difficult to master."
Frederick continued to explain at the front:
"Almost every apprentice can master the drawing of several basic runes, but those who can truly understand the essence of runes and innovate are one in a hundred."
This statement perfectly confirmed Ron’s speculation.
The rarity of Enchanters is not just due to the high demand for technical difficulty and Spiritual Power, but more so because it requires a unique mindset and talent, capable of materializing abstract Energy Flow into precise rune lines.
"Now, let’s move on to today’s practical session."
Frederick signaled the apprentices to take out their practice tools.
Most apprentices swiftly took out specially designed rune practice boards and silver pens, ready to follow the Master’s guidance in drawing basic runes.
Ron also took out a set of simple rune tools from his Spatial Bag.
Although he was just an observer, he decided to try his hand at the practical operation personally.
After all, for him, the combination of theory and practice was the fastest way to enhance his skill level.
"First, let’s practice the most basic rune—’Stability.’ This is the core component of almost all Rune Arrays, responsible for balancing and stabilizing the Energy Flow of the entire system."
Frederick demonstrated at the front of the podium.
Every stroke of his was smooth and natural, with rune lines forming under the silver pen like flowing clouds and water.
Even the simplest rune displayed a certain artistic beauty in his hands.
Ron tried to mimic it, finding it much more challenging than he had imagined.
Drawing runes not only required precise lines but also maintaining a continuous and stable Spiritual Power input during the drawing process.
The slightest fluctuation would cause the entire rune to lose efficacy or produce anomalies.
"The essence of Rune Magic lies in ’one-stroke formation.’ A truly skilled Enchanter can complete complex rune drawing in a seamless state, ensuring the continuity of Energy Flow."
Frederick’s explanation continued, as Ron practiced attentively, gradually finding a certain feeling.
