Conclusion:

"The Clearwater Magic Wand, a spoil of war from Tim, increases the power of Water Element witchcraft by 7%, with no enhancement to other types of witchcraft."

"The Blue Amber Pendant increases spiritual power by 0.6."

"Adolf's Magic Power Wizard Robe increases the power of elemental witchcraft by 15% and other schools of witchcraft by 8%."

"The Clearwater Magic Wand and the Magic Power Wizard Robe's effects can stack, but the maximum increase to Water Element witchcraft power is 20%."

"The effect of the Meditation Method on witchcraft power..."

Under the lamplight, Carl, holding a quill pen, scribbled on a parchment scroll. He occasionally looked up in thought and sometimes wrote furiously, quickly filling an entire scroll.

Wizards, to some extent, are scholars pursuing knowledge. Various experiments, analyses, and data are inevitable and essential skills. A Wizard who doesn't know how to record and accumulate knowledge isn't a good Wizard.

That means my current spiritual power is 2.06. Plus the 0.6 increase from the Blue Amber Pendant, my total spiritual power is 2.66. This is the foundation for casting spells.

The Clearwater Magic Wand and the Magic Power Wizard Robe, when stacked, provide a 20% augmentation. This brings my spellcasting power value to almost 3.2.

Carl paused.

The Meditation Method I practice belongs to the Natural School's Water Element, amplifying Water Element witchcraft by 50%.

The value is... 4.8!

He stopped, his face showing surprise. A value of 4.8 was comparable to that of an Advanced Wizard Apprentice.

Of course, Advanced Wizard Apprentices would have their own methods, not relying solely on baseline spiritual power; they possessed even more and stronger means of enhancement.

No wonder an Intermediate Wizard Apprentice with a legacy can stand against a Great Knight; such a stacking of values is indeed frightening. Even with the limited means of Wizard Apprentices, the overwhelming numerical advantage is enough to offset other disadvantages.

His base spiritual power was just 2.06, but through stacking, it soared to 4.8, more than doubling.

It was not the same for Knights. The Giant Spirit Breathing Technique was already a top-tier Magic Door bestowed by the Divine, and even when using the Secret Skill of Giantification, the increase wasn't so exaggerated. Not even close!

Knights excel in wielding the power of the flesh, while Wizards are more adept at using external objects to enhance themselves.

Carl set down the quill pen, his fingers lightly tapping the desk. So... I'll put aside Zero-Circle Magic like Mage Hand and the spell Glittering Magic Sword for now, and focus on cultivating Guardian Wave. With the Lesser Magic Force Field, Guardian Wave, Armor Guna, Dharma Seal Steel Body, plus the Guardian Ring from the Giant Spirit Breathing Technique—a technique that already emphasizes defense and Martial Arts... If all my defenses are active, even if a Great Knight attacked with all his might, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to hurt me in a short period.

「Swamp Alliance.」

Wizard Apprentices walked down the street one after another. Tall Wizard Hats, Wizard Robes of all colors, and numerous Magic Wands glinted with Spirit Light—a scene utterly unimaginable in Sigerno City. All sorts of bizarre goods were an overwhelming feast for the eyes. The convergence of Wizards from across the lands contributed to the Swamp Alliance's thriving and prosperous Wizarding commerce.

"Magic Wand clearance! Magic Wand clearance sale! Natural School wooden Magic Wands wholesale! Bulk orders get better prices! Ideal for beginners on the Wizard Path! Don't miss out as you pass by!" This came from a Magic Wand stall.

"Magical cuisine! One bite will give you a beautiful dream!" another vendor cried. "Do you want to be an exalted Wizard? Do you want to uncover the secrets of the Star Realm and visit various Divine beings? Do you want a delightful date with the one of your dreams? Do you wish to passionately discuss the differences between men and women with a group of beauties? Try our magical cuisine! Custom-tailored personal illusions! Fulfill all your desires in your dreams! Magical cuisine is your best choice after a tiring day." This pitch came from a Nightmare Wizard.

Then, from another stall: "Are you still worried about not being tall enough? Are you still bothered by an unsatisfactory physique? Are you still troubled by certain... areas where you feel inadequate? Body Modification can help you!"

"Buying bones! Buying large quantities of bones! High prices for fresh corpses! Knight and Great Knight corpses—prices negotiable!"

Another called out, "Demonized Items..."

As Carl walked along, he felt like a wide-eyed newcomer in a bustling marketplace, unable to resist stopping at every stall. He would only move on after drawing unfriendly glances from the vendors.

Besides private stalls, the Swamp Alliance also had official outlets selling various materials. These were richer in variety and relatively assured in quality, though slightly more expensive. They didn't accept Gold Coins, only Magic Stones and points issued by the Alliance. Each outlet had a salesperson, and each was responsible for different goods.

"Mr. Carl!"

A surprised voice rang out, "Do you need anything?"

Carl looked at the salesperson before him. "You know me?"

"Of course!" The salesperson nodded vigorously. "I watched your entire duel with Tim. My grandfather is Advanced Wizard Apprentice Arthur."

"You can call me Bunian."

Bunian was young, still exuding youthful vitality, and greeted Carl with enthusiasm.

Arthur's grandson? Working as a salesperson here?

Those with Wizard Talent were ultimately in the minority. The Swamp Alliance also had many ordinary people who specifically served Wizards.

"Bunian," Carl's gaze shifted slightly, "are you a Knight?"

The young man didn't have the spiritual power fluctuations characteristic of a Wizard Apprentice; instead, his life essence was rich.

"Yes," Bunian nodded, a look of regret crossing his face. "I don't have Wizard Talent, so I could only walk the Knight Path. That day, you really did us Knights proud."
