Through unlocking both arcane and fire specializations would significantly improve Leylin's understanding of magical constructs. Some unique insights emerged.
For example, the characteristics of fire magic energy are high heat and efficiency. If fire magic energy is integrated into the arcane core array, would the efficiency of the arcane core array's information transmission be improved, thereby enhancing the arcane core's reaction speed?
With these new insights, Leylin could now also create arcane core arrays, the spell cores used to mobilize arcane constructs. Since the construct he previously created only used fire magic as cores, it would be different once its main component used is arcane.
The steps were not entirely skillful, but at least he could clearly connect the various links of an arcane core array and enable the established ideas within it to flow rapidly through arcane magic.
Leylin could not understand this kind of work; since it's not like constructing a pc like he had done in his past life. After creating a core array, Leylin began experimenting with injecting the magical energy of fire into the magic array.
To prove his idea's practicality. Since magical energies repel each other, they must also have compatibility. After completing some verification, Leylin quietly focused his attention on the arcane core array he had just completed.
The core array contained numerous connection points, key locations for storing simple ideas. For example, if the arcane construct's job was guarding, it could be programmed with magical instructions for guarding duties.
However, if the arcane construct's job was battlefield duty, it would need combat instructions. Leylin didn't want an arcane construct to just do housework. He wanted an arcane soldier capable of true combat and possessing impressive combat effectiveness.
He wants to create something you could find in Real Steel, warcraft version or who knows if Gundams would be possible. Therefore, his construct must possess superior performance in terms of reaction speed and strength.
Previous constructs generally used arcane energy as a basic starting energy source, rarely incorporating fire and frost magical energies.
Most arcane mages couldn't handle the repulsion between magical energies, and Leylin wanted to experiment with improving the arcane construct's reaction speed.
In addition to the connection points within the arcane core array, there are also numerous information pathways formed by magical patterns. These patterns are the pathways for transmitting information and energy.
If these patterns were imbued with both flame magic energy and arcane energy, could the transmission rate of information and energy be increased? The faster the information is transmitted; the faster the construct's reaction speed would be.
Let's begin!
The paths between the connection points within the magic core array are nearly white stripes. Leylin, not bothered by the effort, imbued his miniature magic wand with flame energy fused together with arcane energy and carefully injected it into these paths.
He proceeded step by step until Leylin had completely filled all 20 paths. The miniature magic wand touched a connection point. Tragically, the two energies merged, causing the array to partially explode, ultimately shattering the entire core array.
"Was both energies too much?" Leylin sighed.
Continuing to experiment, Leylin pondered for a moment, abandoning the clumsy method of using the miniature wand to fill in the magic patterns. Instead, he relied on his own magical talent to control the arcane core array.
After nearly two hundred connection points, Leylin was completely stunned as he injected arcane energy into the arcane spell core. His mind was in a turmoil, completely clueless.
"Theoretically, it's possible," Leylin said, shaking his head and frowning.
"Anyways onwards to the unknown, we've made a construct powered up by fire magical energy for the first time, it shouldn't be this hard making an improvement fusing both arcane and fire energy this time" Leylin said, his IQ rising.
Leylin's mind buzzed with new ideas and ambitions. The fiery construct he had once crafted was impressive—a blazing guardian of molten steel and crackling flames.
But Leylin was never one to settle for the ordinary. He sought to elevate his creation beyond the limits
Drawing deeply from the arcane currents that still shimmered within him, Leylin reached out once more. His hands moved with purpose, weaving complex patterns in the air, blending the intense heat of his fire magic with the subtle, shimmering threads of arcane energy.
Slowly, the construct began to evolve. The once rigid, machine-like form now shimmered with a new vitality. The fusion of arcane energy infused the construct with a newfound fluidity, making it more than a simple machine of fire and steel.
Its joints, once stiff and slow, now moved with a grace that rivaled human agility. Every limb, every motion, was smoother, more natural—almost alive.
Leylin's goal was clear: he wanted his creation to mimic the flexibility and responsiveness of a living being, not just a machine. He adjusted the internal arcane matrices, allowing the construct to adapt, to respond swiftly to commands, and to flow seamlessly from one movement to the next.
No longer bound by the sluggish, robotic pace of most arcane constructs, it now moved with purpose and precision, embodying a perfect harmony of strength and agility.
As he watched his masterpiece come to life, a faint glow radiated from the construct's core—an elegant dance of fire and arcane energy, swirling together in a dynamic, almost conscious rhythm.
Leylin's eyes gleamed with satisfaction, knowing he had taken a significant step toward creating a being that could think, feel, and act with the finesse of a living creature—an extension of his will, yet infused with the boundless power of magic.
Leylin, who had been finished making his own construct, clearly and thoroughly presented his ideas to Grand Magister Belo'vir. The grand magister's eyes widened throughout the entire exchange. It was hard to believe such a novel insight came from a student who had only been studying constructs for less than a week.
Magister Rommath had researched this topic before, but he couldn't properly handle the relationship between arcane and fire magic energies. Even if he succeeded in creating a core array, it was at the cost of dozens of failures.
The efficiency was too low, and the attention span of a low-level mage was even lower, making such a task nearly impossible.
"Remarkable, this is not just a machine of magic; it's a symphony of understanding and innovation." Belo'vir whispered, his voice tinged with awe.
He carefully studied the complex arrays, recognizing the subtle nuances and modifications Linley had integrated—each pattern a testament to his ingenuity.
Inspired and eager to contribute, Grand Magister Belo'vir hurriedly pulled out a scroll and a set of shimmering gemstones, his hands moving swiftly through the arcane symbols.
His mind raced, contemplating how he could improve upon Linley's design. He decided to craft his own core array—one that would incorporate Linley's innovations but also reflect his own deep understanding of arcane mechanics.
With a steady, confident hand, Belo'vir began drawing his array. His version was similar at first—symmetrical, layered with intricate runes meant to stabilize and amplify energy flow—but he made deliberate changes.
He added a secondary core pattern to enhance stability and a tuning array to regulate the construct's responsiveness, ensuring it could adapt and respond with even greater finesse. The runes shimmered brighter, pulsing with a deeper, more refined rhythm.
As he completed the array, Belo'vir stepped back, eyes gleaming with satisfaction. "This core," he murmured, "will be the heart of a new kind of construct—more adaptive, more resilient, and even more attuned to the arcane currents. It's a testament to the endless dance of knowledge and innovation."
