Over the course of the next month, Darius had worked tirelessly on creating many new and innovative spells for the Material element across all grades. As long as the idea came to mind, he would systemically work on it with the help of Miranda.
This had also allowed Darius to gain his first experience with creating Master as well as Grandmaster grade spells, which should definitely help him later on when he reached those stages.
At that time, making spells of that grade for other elements would be far easier for him compared to others who would have just reached that stage.
This could be considered yet another hidden benefit of becoming an Element Discoverer.
Some of the spells he made were as follows;
[Water to Oil - Level 1 Spell
Grade: Intermediate
Cost: 20 MP
Description: Transform an area of 100 meters around you containing water of any purity into various types of oil (and vice versa) directly or remotely. The speed of conversion is 0.1 seconds per 100 meters and the effectiveness of the conversion is 100%.]
[Air to Water - Level 1 Spell
Grade: Intermediate
Cost: 20 MP
Description: Transform an area of 100 meters around you containing any form of air molecules to water of any purity (and vice versa) directly or remotely. The speed of conversion is 0.1 seconds per 100 meters and the effectiveness of the conversion is 100%.]
[Earth to Metal - Level 1 Spell
Grade: Advanced
Cost: 100 MP
Description: Transform an area of 500 meters around you containing any type of earth to metal of any type (and vice versa) directly or remotely. The speed of conversion is 0.1 seconds per 500 meters and the effectiveness of the conversion is 500%.]
[Flesh to Stone - Level 1 Spell
Grade: Master
Cost: 500 MP
Description: Transform an area of 2,500 meters around you containing any form of organic flesh to any form of stone (and vice versa) directly or remotely. The speed of conversion is 0.1 seconds per 2,500 meters and the effectiveness of the conversion is 2,500%.]
[Energy to Element - Level 1 Spell
Grade: Grandmaster
Cost: 2,500 MP
Description: Transform an area of 12,500 meters around you containing any form of ambient energy to concentrated elemental extract of any purity (and vice versa) directly or remotely. The speed of conversion is 0.1 seconds per 12,500 meters and the effectiveness of the conversion is 12,500%.]
Just these examples proved that the Material element still had hope, especially under the hands of Darius. What should have been average spells became monsters after passing through the elitist hands of Transmutation, now able to show utility far beyond what even Vena had intended.
For one, Darius had managed to actually break an important rule about the Material element and its spells easily, which was the fact that only one subtype or a few more could be selected for a change.
For example, Air to Water should have only allowed him to change specific particles in the air, not anything and everything. To reach that kind of all-encompassing level, one would need to pay up in cost of the spell and would have extreme difficulty actuating it.
However, Darius had been able to do so thanks to the help of Miranda streamlining the path and his own 'increased' talent with the element assisting him. When one added the fact that the final spell was Static Transmuted, it was no surprise that it reached the pinnacle of what it could do right away.
His status as an Element Discoverer allowed him to break the rules and create Master and Grandmaster spells, yet the Supreme System was relentless in limiting him to his own stage's grade.
It was truly a shame, since Darius could already imagine the sheer utility of Flesh to Stone. One would be able to turn their enemies into statues with ease, or turn a piece of stone into a human body or otherwise and use a Spirit element spell to puppeteer it.
Heck, if one was trapped underground for months, one could use this spell to create the body of a female and relieve themselves, then transform it back. There were many other uses that would present themselves in dire situations.
There was also the Grandmaster grade Energy to Element. This was Darius' crowning joy, and it alone had taken two weeks of his time.
This spell would allow him to take any form of energy; heat, light, kinetic, potential, and transform it into the pure essence of any element, like fire, water, wind, earth.
These extracts could be refined by native Faustian of various kinds to increase their affinity with said element!
You only had average talent with the Ice element? No problem!
A one-time session with Material Element Grandmaster Bothstar and his Ice Extract, and your affinity will rise!
As one could imagine, these Pure Elemental Extracts were exclusively found in rare places like the late floors of high-rank Dungeons or their equivalent.
It was not in healthy supply at all, and the demand for it was voracious.
Darius had also made some of it previously to sell, though in low quantities, since it hadn't been cheap in terms of CP.
However, now that it was possible to use the Material Element to make it, he was ecstatic. All it would cost would be some mana and voila, Pure Elemental Extract of any element!
He could then Static Transmute it for barely any CP to increase its quality to the usual Supreme standard, thereby creating a perfect product for the lowest possible cost!
Over the past few weeks, Darius' mentality had greatly shifted, especially towards Transmutation and the Material element. He no longer saw it as a waste since he had something better, but appreciated it as the perfect tool for him to maximize his gains.
Create something with the Material element at a passable quality using only mana --> if necessary, shape it better using other means like science or the labs he had --> Static Transmute the final product to eliminate any hidden flaws and achieve perfection of quality for less than 1 CP on average!
