Master of Spells from Faerun

Chapter 158 Don't Hide Yourself
Drizzt looked at the crystal in Imrik's hand vigilantly. He knew that this evil crystal would control people's hearts. He stammered and said, "Yi Xiaoyi, why did you take it back? , it's a dangerous thing and we should get rid of it."

He was afraid that his companions would follow Kessell's old path. Imrik was no ordinary mage. If even he fell into the clutches of the Crystal Shard, then Icewind Dale, no, the entire continent of Faerun would be destroyed. disaster!
Imrik smiled lightly and shook his head without speaking. The magic crystal shard in his hand made a sound: "You don't need to worry, lowly dark elf, my master's power is far beyond your imagination, and I have no ability to change his power." Thought, on the contrary, I have devoted myself to my master, even if he asks me to do such disgusting things as helping people in need, I will do it."

Imrik said indifferently: "Clinshinibon, Drizzt is a man worthy of respect, and he has a correct attitude."

The shattered magic crystal radiated a change of light, as if his heart was extremely complicated, but then he said resignedly: "Yes, I'm sorry, Mr. Drizzt, please forgive my attitude."

Drizzt's face was shocked, as frightening as seeing the Lord of Dawn descending to earth and the devil prince of the abyss, Six Fingers, making peace in public. He couldn't believe that the mighty Crystal Shard was so respectful to Imrik.

He said dryly: "It's okay, I don't mind, as long as you are a good person in the future, no, being a good crystal is enough."

Crystal Shard was speechless for a while, and it even felt that if this dark elf wasn't too righteous, his IQ might be his perfect puppet host.

Imrik smiled and said: "Look, don't worry, Drizzt, I am different from Kessell, I am the master of Clinshinibon, not the other way around, I am here this time to say goodbye to you, I I will return to the Sword Coast and will not come to Icewind Dale again in the short term."

A trace of reluctance flashed in Drizzt's eyes when he heard this, and the two fights with Imrik made him regard him as his true life partner, just like Bruno, but he knew that the world will never end A banquet, any adventure, has its journey's end.

He was silent for a while, and the elf who was usually eloquent and eloquent could only say a thousand words into one simple sentence, and he whispered:

"Take care, my friend, and may Mielika bless you."

Imrik froze for a moment, and he said softly: "Take care, my friend, always remember, don't hide yourself from me."

Imric's figure disappeared, but his voice still floated in the wind. An invisible thought lifted Drizzt's hood, revealing a head of silver hair and dark skin shining in the sun.

Drizzt stared blankly at the air, stroked his hood, and muttered to himself: "Don't hide yourself anymore."
-
Three days later, Imrik stood in the central hall of [Twilight Star], a purple crystal was suspended in front of his eyes, and a gleam of joy flashed in his eyes. Quickly, now, all the functions of this artifact unfolded in front of him, and he was pleasantly surprised to find that the power of the broken magic crystal was far stronger than he had imagined.

Clinshinibon is a darkest evil artifact. Its creation process is full of coincidences. Millions of years ago, seven legendary liches with extremely high levels of spellcasters performed a ritual together, trying to create a magic weapon capable of controlling the power of the sun. artifact.

The ritual was successful, but also very unsuccessful, as the artifact was successfully born, but its creator was simply destroyed.

Clinshinibon was successfully born, not only that, but it possessed extraordinary wisdom when it was just born, and its evil instinct prompted it to suck up the power and origin of seven liches who were close to quasi-god existence through rituals, so that It became an immortal and powerful artifact.

Not only that, Clinshinibon also absorbed the wisdom of the seven liches, which made it not only able to cast various powerful spells, but also had a smarter will than ordinary artifacts.

Clinshinibon can extract the most feared power of undead creatures-sunlight as the source of energy, stored in the body, and the broken magic crystal (or the magic crystal tower containing this artifact) can absorb 12 144 energy level, it can store up to 2 energy level units of energy, every two hours, Clinshinibon will slowly lose [-] energy levels (energy is simply lost).

At the wielder's will, the relic burns power levels to create spell effects, costing one power level per level of spell effect.Although spell effects persist at night, the relic cannot create new spell effects after the sun has dipped below the horizon.When the spell is cast, the sun's rays fade away, as if the relic had literally stolen it.

To put it simply, this artifact can consume energy to cast spells during the day, one-level spells consume one energy level, nine-level spells consume nine energy levels, and the most special thing is that Clinshinibon can consume 99 energy levels. Super energy, to cast the legendary spells learned by the seven liches back then!
Most of the spells that Clinshinibon knows are the spells possessed by the soul fragments of the seven liches back then, so they are not comprehensive. In general, it can cast the following spells (when Clinshinibon casts spells , the casting level is like an eighteenth-level spellcaster):

1. Crystal shards can be used as powerful destructive tools.The owner can cast any offensive wizard spell of the evocation school, requiring one power level per spell level.

2. This artifact can also be used as a manipulation tool. The holder can cast any enchantment spells. Each spell level requires an energy level.

3. Clinshinibon can also be used as a powerful detection tool.The mirror on the fourth floor of the Magic Crystal Tower can be used as a crystal ball.The owner of the crystal shard can cast any mage spell belonging to the divination school, and can also cast the power equivalent to the token of domination through the mirror. Each spell level requires a power level.

If the mirror is removed from the crystal tower, it can act as a two-way communication tool, allowing the crystal shard owner in the mirror room in the crystal tower to communicate with the person standing in front of the mirror in the distance.As long as you stand in front of the mirror, you will send a communication request to the owner of the magic crystal shard, and the owner can reach the location of the mirror in the distance through the mirror in the tower.

4. The magic crystal can also facilitate more convenient magic transmission.Owner can cast any wizard teleportation spell of [-]th level or lower

Moreover, all spells can be cast through the magic crystal tower transformed from shattered magic crystals. The spells cast in this way will have no distance limit!However, it will still be affected by the horizon.

Such a powerful effect of the Magic Crystal Tower does not come without a price. The holder must build or maintain the Magic Crystal Tower at the cost of 24 energy levels per day. In other words, when that idiot Kessell built three Magic Crystal Towers, Taking up 72 energy levels a day!No wonder the power of the two magic crystal towers was drained after casting the legendary spell.

The effect of the magic crystal tower is extremely powerful. First of all, the holder can send the entire magic crystal tower and everything in it to any place at the cost of 12 energy levels.

Secondly, the magic crystal tower and its occupants are immune to all external magic, psychic powers and physical attacks.Any magical or psionic effects cast within the Crystal Tower cannot affect the owner of Crenshinibon unless he wishes to.Any spell effects cast on the tower will bounce back to the caster.

The magic crystal tower has four square floors made of smooth and hard crystals. It has various rooms like an incomplete mage tower. The first floor with dark corridors is used as the main room and guard point.There are stairs at the back of the room leading to a small landing.

A secret door hides the stairs leading to the second floor, which is a cozy living room.

A staircase leads to the third floor, known as the Hall of Discovery, filled with magical devices of discovery, including a dozen mirrors and an ornate crystal throne.

A small ladder leads to the fourth floor where the Crystal Shard (or a copy thereof) and a mirror are placed.This artifact (or a copy thereof) floats in the center of the room, supporting the pylon and any spell effects its owner desires.

In addition, the Shard of Magic Crystal also has some functions that can be used at will without consuming energy, such as:
1. Both the magic crystal tower and the broken magic crystal can burst out a burst of dazzling light waves, and any creature that sees it will be blinded.

2. The broken magic crystal can cast the five-ring spell [telecontrol] at any time like the 18th-level wizard casts.

3. The shattered magic crystal can cast the power like [Domination Token] at will, and the effect is equivalent to the fifth-ring spell [Dominate Human Being] or the nine-ring spell [Dominate Monster].

"About the last function, every ten times it is used, it will permanently reduce a little intelligence, master." The broken magic crystal said carefully.

Imrik raised his brows. Is this why Kessell's IQ looks so retarded? He then said, "Is this price necessary?"

The Crystal Shard said obsequiously: "Of course not, my master. I can close it at any time for this price. This is just one of the means for me to control those stupid puppets."

Imrik smiled in his heart, he knew that the Crystal Shard took the initiative to speak out to please him, and let himself know that he was different from other Crystal Shard owners, but Imrik didn't care, he knew that the only person who controlled the Crystal Shard The reason is that he has the means to check and balance the opponent, as well as the Styx contract he signed.

Imrik put away the Magic Crystal Shard, and through this well-informed artifact, he knew many very high-end secrets.

For example, the realm above legend is called [Quasi-God], which is a divine realm with a godhead of 0, and those who reach this realm are all seed players who may become gods.

In addition, above [quasi-god], there are [weak divine power], [weak divine power], [medium divine power], and [strong divine power].

These existences are too far away from the mortal world, even the Crystal Shard doesn't quite know their specific situation.
