Soon, Vaschi and her people delivered daily necessities like beds, tables, and chairs, along with a bookshelf filled with books.
Gale quickly flipped through them, finding they were all about enchanting and weapon forging.
Looking at the book list on the table, Gale was surprised; the authors of these books were all renowned Royal Mages and high-ranking nobles.
There was "Forging Arcane Artifacts" by Savis, "The Limits of Rune Infusion" by Prince Tothsedrin, and "Analysis of Fire Runes" by Prince Farodis, among others.
Among them, what Gale treasured most was "Elemental Conversion of Arcane Energy" written by Azshara herself.
This book mainly detailed how Arcane Energy transforms into Fire Elemental (fire) and Water Elementals (frost); Wind Elementals (storm) and Earth Element (earth) were only briefly mentioned with some spell conversions, without detailed descriptions.
Currently, Kaldorei Mages primarily focus on Arcane Spells and Fire Spells.
Arcane Spells are the foundation of all elemental spells, and Fire Spells are favored by Kaldorei Mages due to their immense power.
Simply put, for the same unit of Arcane Energy converted into elemental spells, Fire Spells cause far more damage than the other three elemental spells.
With the Well of Eternity providing mana, Kaldorei Mages naturally prefer to use Fire Spells, adhering to a "big ship, big gun" doctrine.
Azshara detailed Frost Spells because she frequently used the tidal scepter.
Although many spells were described in detail, they were all water-form spells and did not reach the level of frost.
This limitation also came from the tidal scepter.
It was almost as if the tidal scepter made her, and the tidal scepter broke her.
Although the books still had some limitations, for Gale, they were already a guiding light.
He condensed the energy for an Arcane Missile and skillfully converted it into a Fireball Spell.
The conversion of Fire Spells was taught at Nathalas Academy, but that method was for beginners; Azshara's conversion was clearly much more advanced.
Dispelling the fireball, he condensed Arcane Energy again, attempting to convert it into a Frost Spell.
According to the method in the book, it could only become a Water Orb Spell, which had very low damage.
He tried to manipulate the Arcane to lower the temperature of the water orb and simultaneously elongate it.
An Ice Arrow gradually took shape, but after being launched, it flew a few yards before falling to the ground and shattering.
Clearly, this attempt failed; it seemed he should lower the temperature during the conversion.
Gale continued to try, finding it a bit difficult to perform both steps simultaneously.
However, the difficulty was not very great; after several attempts, Gale successfully shot an Ice Arrow into the wall.
Ice Arrow Spell successful!
He recorded the conversion method and then turned his attention to the next element.
In Gale's mind, Fire Spells naturally ranked first, but second was definitely not Frost Spells, but Storm Spells.
Storm Spells can also be called Thunder Spells.
Both storm and thunder are manifestations of Wind Elementals, but they determine two different developmental forms.
Storm leans towards control and destruction, while thunder leans towards damage and judgment.
Therefore, to convert Storm Spells, both forms need to be mastered.
Like Frost Spells, converting to the wind form was easy; Gale effortlessly cast a Wind Blade Spell.
However, when converting to the thunder form, he encountered difficulties; even following Azshara's written method, he couldn't do it.
He couldn't capture the faint thunder energy within the dense Arcane Energy.
Having never seen what thunder energy looked like, Gale couldn't even try to imitate it.
The treasury was too close to the Well of Eternity, and his imagination was also insufficient.
He could create epic weapons based on his previous knowledge, but he couldn't convert thunder energy that he had never seen.
This was his shortcoming!
Similarly, he was called a genius during his time at Nasalas because he had played games and knew what these spells looked like when cast, and what effects they would have upon impact.
Working backward from the results was naturally faster than other students.
Fortunately, Azshara was quite thoughtful; just as Gale was flipping through the book to see how to convert Earth Spells, the next page showed a microscopic image of thunder energy.
With a reference, Gale successfully converted Arcane Energy into thunder energy.
In fact, it should be correctly described using particles.
Both Arcane Energy and elemental energy are composed of tiny particles.
However, Kaldorei Mages did not pay attention to these microscopic existences, nor did they think of giving them appropriate names.
But Gale wrote down the word "particle" in his own notes.
Earth particles were the easiest to convert because the ground was right beneath them, and samples were everywhere.
Earth Spells, however, were the most difficult to convert because their casting method was different from the other three elemental spells.
The other three elemental spells could be directly converted because they could detach from their origin, causing damage or control effects through collisions between particles.
Earth Spells, however, were different; the structure between their particles was very stable.
If unstable, they would turn into sand, only useful for blinding eyes, without any damaging effect.
But if the structure was stable for attack, it would be a rock, wasting Arcane Energy to convert it when one could simply pick one up from the ground.
Therefore, the casting method for Earth Spells is channeling-based, transmitting Earth particles underground to make the earth vibrate, or causing stones to fly down from a mountain, or making stone spikes grow from the ground.
Compared to the diverse manifestations of the other three elements, Earth Spells themselves would feel ashamed.
However, the combination of Earth particles and Fire particles can produce a composite spell system—Lava Spells.
Because Fire Spells are numerous, Gale categorized Lava Spells under Earth Spells to enrich its pitiful spell list.
Mastering elemental conversion was just the basic; Gale would next categorize and expand the four elemental spell systems.
He had never made his own spellbook because he believed his magical knowledge was still shallow, but now with the four elemental spell systems, plus the Arcane spell system, he could completely create his own spellbook.
However, the most important task now was to create the broken queen's crown; making a spellbook would have to be put aside for now.
He copied the content recorded in Azshara's book, combined it with his own ideas, and made a small booklet.
This would save a lot of time when he made his spellbook later.
Putting down Azshara's book, he picked up Savis's "Forging Arcane Artifacts," which documented the crafting process of the dozen or so artifacts in the treasury.
While inspecting the materials, Gale discovered a new metal material, which was used as the primary material for all these dozen or so artifacts.
