Chapter 392 Sub-artifact “Scepter of the Archmage”
The method of making the Rod of the Archmage was not born in Toril, but from Bokabu, a magical **** called the Gray Eagle Plane. It was he who created and invented the first great mage’s staff and used it as his own artifact. That is a place where magic is no less prosperous than Faerun’s continent. Mordenkain, Tan Sen, Bigby, Ma Youfu, Ottiluk and other legendary wizards who invented countless magic were born here.
For mages and warlocks, this is almost the perfect weapon. Not only can the magic released by the enemy be absorbed and stored, but it can also use these energy to release various spells solidified by the wand. Some of these low-level magic do not need to consume energy at all and can be used continuously without limitation.
After destroying the portal, Henry’s hanging heart finally let go. Now the enemy’s death and injury, only the beholder Vaxol and Shangla have the power to fight. He took advantage of this little time to identify the secondary artifact that he had just received, knowing that the rod of the archmage would explode if it exceeded the upper limit of energy tolerance.
--------------
Staff of the Archmage:
Although extremely rare, this type of staff is undoubtedly associated with the spellcasting profession. It is one of the most powerful weapons that a wizard can possess. It is the culmination of complex magic and endless research. Take this stick as an example. It performs very well in close combat, allowing the user to prevent being charmed and not being harmed by evil. It can also cast spell traps, shoot arrows that combine fireballs and lightning, and dispel enemy spell effects. It is a classic masterpiece among many magic items.
Возможности оборудования:
Significantly improve physical defense and magic resistance
Невосприимчивость к заклинаниям очарования
Invisible (the holder can enter the invisible state at any time as long as he wants, without consuming spell slots, and without chanting spells)
Protection from evil
Боевая способность:
Dispel magic from the enemy when hit
особая сила:
“Fireball Lightning Beam” three times a day, combining the power of fireball and lightning
A nine-level magic “spell trap” once a day (this spell can build a powerful magic barrier around the caster. All spells hitting this barrier will be absorbed, and the caster will recall a previous application For example, a certain mage uses a spell trap to protect himself, and then is shot by a third-level magic fire arrow. He will recall a spell used, up to a maximum of three levels. The total number of spell traps that can be absorbed is thirty Level. Including any magic from one to nine)
The staff can store magic energy, and the first level, including the tricks below the first level are not counted. Each level 2 to 4 magic transforms one point of energy, and each level 5 to 9 transforms two points. Now 25/50 has been saved (note! This information is only displayed during the first appraisal, and can only be calculated by the holder in the future) These energies can be used to cast the following magic:
Does not consume energy: “Detection Magic”, “Magic Transformation” (first-level magic, makes the target’s size 50% larger than normal. The destructive power is greatly increased), door closure (first-level magic, makes the door Keep it closed), light spell, mage armor, mage hand.
Consume a little energy: “Dispel Magic”, “Fireball”, “Ice Storm”, “Invisibility”, “Percussion”, “Lightning”, “Wall Through”, “Pyrotechnics” (secondary magic, Turn the fire into dazzling light or choking smoke), “fire wall art”, “cobweb art”.
Consume two points of energy: summon the highest level of monsters (9th level of magic, summon an elemental elder to serve or fight for the caster), alien teleport (seventh level of magic, you can take your squad to another world, but there will be some errors ), telekinesis (five-level magic. You can control an object or creature within two hundred kilograms and move them)
Self-explosion: Once the wand of the archmage exceeds the upper limit of stored energy, or the holder deliberately breaks it, it will cause a violent explosion. The power depends on the amount of stored energy. If the maximum limit is reached, even the adult dragon will be killed within ten meters.
Teleport: When deliberately detonated, there is a 50% chance that the holder will be teleported to another plane. If there is no teleportation, then the self-detonation force will destroy the holder.
------------------
This is the most powerful magic item Henry has ever obtained, and it is simply the perfect weapon for offense and defense. It can be said that after having the rod of the archmage, there is no need to care too much about the number of enemy spellcasters. Even a whole group of wizards is nothing. As long as you carefully maintain the frequency of absorption and release, you can completely kill the opponent.
Although he still wants to admire this masterpiece for a while, the current situation does not allow it. Shangla recovered from the Zhengneng storm, and did not hesitate to put a layer of protective magic on himself, and all of Faxol’s eyes were also opened, and it was possible to emit a deadly beam at any time. These two guys have obviously seen the destroyed portal, knowing that only a fight to the death will have a chance of life.
Kogen kicked Reyin, who was left with his head, to one side, and then spit out a mouthful of blood from his mouth, cursing, “Damn it! It hurts every time it’s over!”
Obviously, this is a sequelae of rage. The special skill unique to this berserker is to artificially increase the secretion of adrenaline. In order to achieve the purpose of greatly improving the physical quality in a short time. But everyone knows that too much adrenaline can cause harm to the body, so the soldiers will expel the remaining part through vomiting blood after the rage is over.
“Shut up, if you don’t want to be affected by powerful spells, come here.” Viconia dragged the dwarf warrior behind the adamantine golem. As a dark elf, she has seen duels between senior mages many times. Those incomparably powerful magic will involve all the people or objects around it, and if you are unlucky, there will be no corpses left.
Henry stood calmly in the middle of the room holding the rod of the archmage, floating in the air with an activated shield studded with eyeballs, ready to resist the beholder’s rays at any time. He looked at the cautious Shangla’s mouth slightly upwards, showing a mocking expression.
“How about it, dear Lord of Talisman, do you feel that you have nowhere to go? As I said, this is a very simple alternative. But you chose to destroy. You know? There are already many in the demiplane now. The soul is wandering and they can’t find any exit at all. No one will know what happened here, and no one will be able to come in for rescue.”
As he said, Henry turned his head and pointed at Reyin’s skull and smiled evilly. “Have you seen the Lich lady with only the head left? That’s probably what you will look like in the future. Just imagine that you have been placed in a sealed box for decades, hundreds, or even thousands of years, and you look at everything. Can’t, can’t hear, or even commit suicide. Believe me. That feeling is definitely a hundred times more terrifying than death. So hand over the phylogeny and I can let you continue to live and become a servant.”
“Do you think you have the chance to win? No! I still have enough strength to fight back. Do you remember the sentence in the first book of the wizard’s introduction? There is no constant strength and weakness between the casters, everything is only played I just know. So young man, let’s have a spell duel first, because only the winner can decide everything.” Said Shangla opened the battle with a five-level magic “Resistance weakened”.
Faxol saw that his master had already done something, and the main eye and the stem eye shot out colorful rays in an instant. It can be seen from its dry, wrinkled skin. This is a dead-eye tyrant. The undead forms in the beholders resemble vampires and zombies. Not only do they retain most of the magical abilities during their lifetime, but they also have considerable immunity. They are usually used by powerful wizards as guards.
It has to be said that the cooperation of these two guys is quite tacit, one uses magic to reduce the resistance of the target, and the other concentrates firepower to attack wildly. Maybe Henry will be in a rush before getting the Archmage’s Staff. But now it is no effort to defend it. I saw that he directly raised the staff to absorb the “weakened resistance”, while the beholder rays were all blocked by the shield.
“This is the so-called enough power? It’s a pity, it doesn’t work for me at all.”
Speaking that Henry did not hesitate to activate the ninth-level magic “accidental chain”, the three “Karthus Crimson Flames” already stored in it instantly ignited the unprotected Vaxol. The dark red flame enveloped the beholder flesh ball-like body, and after only a few seconds, the huge flesh was completely burnt into a black lump of coke.
He had calculated secretly just now that Shangla had lost an arm. Since the casting speed has been reduced by half, it is impossible to be his opponent at all. On the contrary, this beholder who can send all kinds of horror rays is very threatening. It would be too wrong to be accidentally dissociated and turned into a ball of powder. Therefore, the most threatening guy was solved first.
Now it can be said that the overall situation is set, no matter what kind of hole Shangla still has, it is impossible to turn over. You must know that Henry’s casting speed itself is much faster than most wizards. With the addition of “Vecna’s Robe” and “Magic Amulet”, almost no one can match the main material plane.
Of course this Lich with a cast level of up to 27 still has a legendary spell that hasn’t been cast, but in the current situation, there is no chance. Because this demiplane is so small, it only takes a few seconds to run from one end to the other. Not being able to open the distance means that there is not enough time to cast the spell. You should know that legendary spells generally require a full chant for more than one minute.
As for the protective magic on his body, he couldn’t stop the double cracking of Henry and the rod of the archmage at all. As the former holder of this staff, Shangla knew exactly what effect it would have once it was hit, and it only took a single shot to disperse all the protections.
Of course, if you are blessed with “protective magic weapons”, you can resist it for a while. But the opponent’s own spells are obviously not vegetarian, and a cracking magic can make all efforts go to naught. Now the Lich was faced with a difficult choice, as just said, whether to surrender the phylogenetic or dying to be put in a box forever.
