Chapter 51: The Beginning of a Legend

In Matthew's memory, Arcanists were broadly divided into four schools of thought.

Elemental School:

They were passionate about controlling and modifying elements, exploring the mysteries of the world's composition, and deeply researching the laws of various elements.

Some preferred summoning elemental beings, exploring elemental realms and worlds.

Summoning water and fire elementals was their specialty.

Most Arcanists in this school aimed to create more powerful, devastating, and wide-ranging elemental spells.

Fireball was the most famous representative of this school!

In his previous life, Matthew specialized in this path.

To combat stronger enemies, he even developed the terrifying spell Elemental Annihilation.

It was this 13th-tier god-level spell that allowed him to drag three deities down with him.

Life School:

They delved into the mysteries of various lifeforms, seeking to understand the secrets of the human body.

They aimed to use their research to gain longer lifespans or stronger bodies.

At the same time, they performed horrifying experiments and modifications.

It is said that the half-orc race originated from one such terrifying life experiment.

Iolem, the chief Grand Arcanist of the Netheril Empire and known as a demigod, was the representative of this school.

Iolem had lived for over 1,200 years, and earlier this year, he created a new 11th-tier legendary spell—Iolem's Longevity.

Each time this spell was successfully cast, it extended the recipient's life by 200 years, and it could be cast repeatedly.

Weave School:

These Arcanists focused on exploring deeper levels of the Weave, researching and developing new spells from it.

They were also dedicated to repairing damaged sections of the Weave, which in turn granted them rewards, knowledge, and spells.

They explored the creation of independent Weaves and had already implemented them on a large scale.

The floating cities and the massive maze locks of the Seven Towers Council were remarkable results of this school's research.

Of course, the elves had explored this path even further.

Karsus was a master of this school, and it was rumored that he was researching a new manifestation of the Weave.

If successful, it could even create a new source of power for Arcanists.

Time and Space School:

Creating pocket dimensions, destroying entire planes—these were feats within this school's reach.

They were fascinated by the structure of space, seeking and developing undiscovered pocket dimensions to harvest resources and territory from them.

More than half of the Netheril Empire's territory existed in other planes, discovered and explored by spatial Arcanists.

Storage belts and other dimensional storage items were products of this school.

Some Arcanists also aspired to master the power of time.
