The Primordial Record

Andar knew there may be more powerful Mental Talents for a Mage, but for him, Gray Will even with its drawbacks was perfect. However, not every Mage would think so because of the strain it placed on their physique.

Disregarding the difficulty needed to acquire this talent, even operating it was impossible for an Acolyte without the Half-Empyrean physique Rowan bestowed on Andar that was further strengthened by his Awakening, he would not be surprised if a talent like Gray Will could only be used by Rank 4 Mages and higher.

Nevertheless, this gave him quite an advantage as an Acolyte that could not be equaled. In the case of Talisman Crafting, he was especially talented in this area, as the advantages of Gray Will lend itself more towards the Micro and worked better in a controlled environment.

It should be noted that Andar had never created any Talisman with a Set Effect before, as he did not want to waste his Origin Shards on purchasing the expensive materials required, but he had gathered enough data through his experiments and the knowledge he had collected.

After fifteen minutes, Andar opened his eyes, satisfied with the results he had arrived upon after tens of thousands of trials, he just needed to…

"Boohoo!" Mira suddenly shouted rolling her eyes like a maniac, hoping to startle Andar, who rolled his eyes. There were many ways he could use to distract Mira, but that would lead to her failing this test, and Andar did not want the headache of trying to console the sobbing princess later, so he ignored her.

She knew her attempts did not go over Andar's bottom line, and in her way, she was trying to encourage him.

He would not be able to make a Seven Set Talisman given the time he had, if he tried there was no assurance that he would be able to succeed at 100%.

This was what Andar had been doing all these while, most people here thought he had been giving his best efforts, but that was far from the truth, everything he had made so far was always the most stable results from his simulations.

He did not go for flashy or powerful, just stability, but even so, this was not a result that any Acolyte could ever hope to reach in their lifetime.

He broke the seven materials into pieces with clean cuts using a summoned wind blade, and he began to forge them using blue flames. In three minutes, he had three bracelets that could be joined together to form a single arm bracer. Creating such a tool was quite simple for him.

He locked them together and when he was assured that the fitting was without any flaws, he brought them apart and began to imbue them with the Talisman he had selected.

Talisman Crafting usually requires the Acolyte to learn the Tier 0 Spell, Clear Sight. This spell would allow the Acolyte to peer into the microscopic world, but Andar could replicate this spell while manipulating light, heat, and wind.

His eyesight was already fantastic and the world inside the bangles was revealed to him, one that was filled with particles that vibrated and behaved in manners that were erratic.

The other part of Talisman Crafting was to process the materials into what was usually a material that resembled a clear liquid, from this liquid a long string ten times thinner than a spider's web would be extracted.

It was this string that was fed into the object in a specific pattern called Talisman Map, which mimics a Spell to create Talismans.

On these changing particles he began to imbue the string into the particles drawing a Talisman Map that began linking all the particles together, and when enough of them were linked together, the internal structure of the bangle began to transform.

Andar reversed his sight to see the brown metallic bangle begin to shrink as it began to blaze with a greenish glow. He shifted his focus back to the microscopic and now began imbuing the remaining two bangles with the Talisman String, mapping three separate Talismans on each of the bangles. He did this at the same time.

The first bangle was glowing green, the second was blue and the last was white. When Andar focused on the microscopic his entire eyes turned silver, similar to his eyeball, added to his pale features, red lips, and black hair, he resembled a specter.

In one hour time, he had finished exhausting all the materials he gathered for making the three Talismans and they were completed, only needing the final steps to make them part of a set, which was merging three bangles with different properties to integrate their energies producing a new force that was greater than the sum of their parts.

This process would usually be quite loud, Mira was in her final stretch of producing her Talisman, and any distraction would undo her efforts, so Andar created a shield of air around his Talisman Bench.

He was following the broad category every Talisman followed to create these bangles which was Protect, the Blue bangle was responsible for that. Heal was assigned to the green bangle and Harm was assigned to the white bangle.

The White Bangle had three Rank 1 Offensive Spells, Ice Touch for close-up encounters, Ice Spear for distant assaults, and Ice Blast for an area of-effect attack.

The Green Bangle also had three Rank 1 Spells, Regrowth, Minute Muscle Control, and Hemeostasis.

The Blue Bangle Spells were Rank 1 Spells, Hardened Shell, Mirage Steps, and Light Host.

Andar's Spirit Matrix was an enigma, up till now he had not been able to even engrave a single Tier 0 Spell on it, as the white tile that made up his Endless Vault Meditation Art seemed invulnerable, but this did not stop him from memorizing every single Spell he came across, and from experimentation, he began to slowly mimic each of these spells.

His understanding of how spells operated made it easy for him to create Talisman Maps inside the object he desired.

Holding the three glowing bangles with a gentle cushion of wind, he began to slowly bring them together, immediately there was a reaction as a loud blast erupted in between them.
