Chapter 153 The Witch's New Ability
After returning to the potion preparation site in the basement and washing and putting away the empty bottles, jars and crucibles, Angel came to the dark living room and began to test his new abilities.
In addition to the enhanced effects of the abilities originally belonging to "Assassin" and "Instigator", there are now several more spell abilities in her mind that were directly instilled into her memory by the "Witch" potion, as if she had already been familiar with these contents and was only "remembering" them now.
After all, Angel had fought against two witches of joy and a sorceress before, so she had guessed what abilities she would gain before taking the potion, but the gains this time still exceeded her expectations.
First of all, she was most impressed by the fire and ice when fighting with the extraordinary people of the "Witch Sect".
A witch can summon black flames around her, control their movements with her thoughts, and even attach them to weapons or directly to her body to attack without harming herself.
While "recalling" her abilities, she summoned a fist-sized black flame, letting it float at her fingertips and move continuously with her thoughts.
This black flame is essentially a curse, so it can only harm living beings, spirits or objects containing spirituality, and has no effect on ordinary objects.
Angel confirmed this by bringing the black flame close to the flammable surface of the sofa and finding that not only would the black flame not ignite the fine hair, it even showed signs of extinguishing.
In addition, the black flame also has the property of "anti-divination". Creatures, objects, and even space itself burned by it will "disappear" in the mystical sense. When using them as divination targets, the success rate is very low.
No wonder members of the "Witch Cult" are almost impossible to divine... But Klein successfully caught them once. Could it be that the "Fortune Teller" path can restrain this kind of anti-divination?
After the black flames on his fingertips dissipated, Angel summoned out of thin air a frost spear about one meter long and about three fingers thick.
This is another ability of the witch: frost.
Directly summoning an ice spear is only its most primitive use. The powerful frost control can even extinguish flames, freeze the surface of a lake, and harm most flesh and blood bodies.
Or it can become a witch's shield, protecting against many types of attacks.
A thought flashed through her mind as she watched the frost spear make a sharp "crunching" sound and transform in the air into a round shield the size of a dinner plate.
Hmm, it's not thick enough, so it definitely can't stop bullets. I wonder if the "Ice Coffin" used by Madam Sharon, which covers the whole body and resists ordinary bullets, requires a Sequence 6 to use.
Placing the icy ice cube into the kitchen sink, she continued analyzing the other ability she had gained:
Mirror double.
Unlike the unlimited stand ability she imagined, the mirror stand actually has great restrictions on casting materials.
The user must be near a mirror that can reflect the entire body, meaning it must be at least half-length or decorative in size. Once used, even if the mirror is still able to reflect the entire body after being broken, it cannot be used as a spellcasting material again. It consumes a lot of spiritual energy, and generally speaking, a Sequence 7 witch can only use it three times, no more than four times.
But since his assassin stage, his spirituality seemed to have exceeded the level in Cole Granger's memory, and this was even more so after he took the Instigator and Witch potions again. Angel guessed that this was most likely due to the effect of the double dose of potion.
Maybe I should test the limits of my spirituality later?
Another ability of witches related to mirrors is "magic mirror divination".
Mirrors have always had a special meaning in mysticism. It is said that one can reach the spirit world through the mirror, and the spirit world is the source of all divination power.
Even an ordinary mirror can be used for simple and effective divination after the witch recites the spell. After creating a deeper connection with the spell material based on the witch's own blood, it can even achieve the effect of "danger warning".
Moreover, any mirror connected by blood, no matter how small, can be used as a mirror substitute!
No wonder the long-haired "Witch of Pleasure" and the "Witch" Triss were both able to use doubles when there were no mirrors nearby... They likely carried small dressing mirrors with them, using blood to create a connection and then using them as their double materials...
Unfortunately, Angel's family only had a half-length mirror and had never bought a portable dressing mirror that women often use. Otherwise, she would have wanted to make a "magic mirror" and carry it with her every day, which could be used for divination and to save lives.
There's no need to consult that "fortune teller" for everything...
Thinking of this, she grinned, then quickly collected her thoughts.
Divination, substitutes... Oh, and there's also the wand substitute, which is the witch's last resort. It's faster than the mirror substitute, and even if you're already injured, you can transfer the injury to the wand that serves as a substitute.
But the wand needs to be prepared in advance, it requires spiritually rich wooden materials, and a mystical connection needs to be established through blood... It is definitely impossible to prepare it in a short time.
The invisibility ability requires the cooperation of spells and materials. The materials are not expensive, animal scales or even fish scales will do, but they must be ground into fine powder.
Finally, there are various ways to curse. Using hair or personal items can cast some weak curses. Once you can get the target's blood...
Angel recalls the battle to destroy the cursed altar, where Leonard used mysterious means to break the curse.
If he had acted even a little later, the cursed black flames would have likely burned Klein's body.
Divination and counter-divination, black flame, frost, stand-in to save your life, stealth attack, curse and plot...
This is the "Witch" of Sequence 7, the potion sequence that she underestimated.
One ability after another flashed through Angel's mind. Black flames kept appearing around her and then disappearing into the void. She felt the speed at which her spiritual energy was consumed and evaluated the limits of her spellcasting.
Soon, she felt that the black flames floating in front of her eyes seemed to have double vision, and her head was throbbing with pain.
This was a sign that his spiritual power was about to run out. Angel did not try to be brave, but immediately stopped summoning the black flame.
The headache didn't stop, it just stopped getting worse. She sat on the sofa and after a brief meditation, she regained some of her spirituality and the headache stopped.
"It lasted longer than I expected... Perhaps the mirror substitute can be used a few more times, or it can support a longer spell battle," she muttered to herself, touching the "magic pocket watch" strapped to her left wrist, and a hint of joy arose in her heart. "Although the magical items will not be strengthened as my sequence increases, my increased spiritual power is enough to support more 'Flame Jumps' and 'Paper Man Substitutes'. This can also be considered a kind of enhancement..."
And more spirituality gave her a new expectation in her heart.
Perhaps she could create a new type of ammunition that couldn't be produced by spiritual powers prior to Sequence 7.
"Shattered Light Ray."
Unfortunately, even if her spiritual power was sufficient to support her in completing the production of this complex ammunition, the required materials could not be obtained in a short period of time, even if she reported it to the Church of the Evernight Goddess for help.
Besides, I had just secretly advanced to Sequence 7. I was lucky enough that the Church didn't bother me. How could I dare to take the initiative to get involved...
Taking the initiative to dispel her inner expectations, Angel stood up from the sofa and went upstairs with lead-filled steps, ready to do the first thing after becoming a witch.
--sleep.
Hey, another hole dug.
