The appearance of the enormous magic scroll also attracted the Paladins present and Uther. Everyone wore curious expressions, wondering what Rhodes was doing. Only Uther waved his hand, signaling the others to remain silent.
That brat Rhodes has likely produced another Titan-level magical artifact.
Jaina tremblingly accepted the huge magic scroll and slowly unrolled it. Inside the scroll was a depiction of a magic lamp, and a fiery red elemental being floated out of the lamp.
There were no complex magic runes, no magic spells, and not even any Arcane fluctuations—only a simple picture.
This image left Jaina speechless. What kind of magic scroll was this?
"Rhodes, I don't understand. There are no incantations on this, only a picture. Are you sure I can cast a spell just by holding it?" Jaina looked at Rhodes with a puzzled expression.
"Yes, Jaina. As long as you hold it, you can cast the magic recorded on it: 'Summon Fire Elemental.' Try to concentrate your mind, sense the magic power contained within the scroll, and then guide it. The target is... the empty ground in front of us." Rhodes nodded.
Jaina nodded doubtfully, put away the enormous scroll, and began to communicate with the magic scroll.
The moment she made contact with the magic scroll in her mind, Jaina felt an indescribable profound mystery enter her brain. She inexplicably learned a spell to summon Fire Elemental.
There was no logic to it; she had simply learned it, just like that! She did not understand the spell's principle.
She completely failed to understand how it operated or any of its incantations, yet strangely, she was able to use it.
A message even appeared automatically in her mind: this spell could summon powerful Fire Elemental, and the Fire Elemental could persist for one day.
During their existence, they would unconditionally obey any command from the summoner, and the number summoned was not limited to one.
The number of Fire Elemental that could be summoned by this spell was related to the user's mana strength; the more powerful the mana and the more skilled the mage was in fire spells, the more Fire Elemental could be summoned.
"How do you feel, Jaina?" Rhodes asked, looking at Jaina who was deep in thought.
Uther also walked over curiously, looking at Rhodes with an inquiring gaze. Rhodes immediately gave Uther a brief summary of what had just happened.
After learning the whole story, Uther was also shocked, realizing that the Guardian was watching them and had even rewarded Rhodes with a magic scroll.
"It's a very strange feeling. I can't describe this special magic incantation—or rather, it doesn't have one at all. I can use it, but I completely don't understand it," Jaina said, showing a helpless expression.
This was not a good sign for a mage.
"Then let's try it out, Jaina! See how many Fire Elemental you can summon. With these elemental beings helping us, we can execute the mission better," Rhodes said.
"Alright, I'll try." Jaina nodded and then waved her staff.
There were no fancy effects or strange magic runes appearing. After a flash of red light, ten humanoid beings, three meters tall and entirely engulfed in flames, appeared before everyone. A scorching heat immediately washed over them.
These Fire Elemental were completely different from the Fire Elemental found on the plane of Azeroth. They hovered in front of everyone, their feet dozens of centimeters off the ground. They could fly up to about one meter high at most, but this was basically useless; flying one meter high was no different from not being able to fly at all.
Rhodes shook his head helplessly. Just like in the game, they had the visual effect of flight but absolutely no actual flight capability. Only the upgraded Flame Elemental could fly, or rather, teleport.
"Wait, are these Fire Elemental? How magical."
"That's incredible. Did Jaina summon these?"
"It certainly is impressive. Jaina, can you control these elemental beings? What is the mana consumption like?" Rhodes turned and asked Jaina.
She summoned ten Fire Elemental, four more than he could. That is to say, if her power were calculated using the heroes of might and magic III algorithm, it would be five.
"Phew! I consumed about a third of my mana. I'm so tired!" Jaina said, leaning her hands on her legs and panting.
"This spell is amazing. I can't even fully utilize its true potential. Theoretically, as long as your mana is strong enough, you could summon hundreds of these beings.
These ten Fire Elemental completely obey my commands and can fight alongside us for one day.
If a more powerful Fire mage were to use this scroll to cast the spell, the resulting power would certainly be greater than mine," Jaina said.
Truly worthy of Titan magic technology! The sophistication of this magical artifact far exceeded her imagination; it was simply beyond her current comprehension.
She estimated that her teacher, Antonidas, would also be unable to fully analyze this spell, because, like her, he was a mage who specialized in Frost and Arcane magic.
Jaina felt that if there was anyone in this world who could analyze this powerful fire spell, there was only one person.
The strongest Fire mage in the current Azeroth World, Prince Kael'thas of Quel'Thalas.
This High Elves prince would definitely be very interested in this spell, as he himself possessed a phoenix summoned from the Elemental Plane of Fire.
"Child, this is already very good. These ten Fire Elemental are not much worse than the Water Elementals you summon.
For our next action, we can have these Fire Elemental take the lead. Fire Elemental also have considerable destructive power against the Shadow Creatures here," Uther said, resting the silver hand warhammer on his shoulder.
Although not as effective as Holy Light Spells, the power of the Flame Elementals can still inflict terrifying damage on Shadow Creatures. That brat Rhodes certainly knows how to surprise him.
"Rhodes, you absolutely must come with me to Dalaran. You don't know what this miraculous Titan magical artifact truly represents," Jaina said solemnly, returning the magic scroll to Rhodes.
After losing possession of the magic scroll, she immediately forgot the casting principle of the spell and was now completely unable to use it.
If this kind of magic could be analyzed and learned by the mages of Azeroth, it would be immensely significant.
Because these Fire Elemental were not summoned from the Elemental Plane of Fire, but were purely condensed from the caster's own mana.
They possessed no intelligence whatsoever and would act entirely according to the caster's will.
This summoning spell was truly astounding!
