Master of Spells from Faerun

Chapter 16 The Raven
Waking up in the morning, Imrik suddenly heard a slap at the door.

He pushed open the door and saw that a small black raven had fallen at his door.

He picked up the raven and observed it carefully. It was a juvenile raven. It might have been hungry for too long, a little malnourished, and extremely thin.

At this time, Loste came over, ready to tell Imrik to go:

"Where did this little thing come from? How pitiful, Imrik, you don't have a magic pet yet, do you want to sign a treaty with it?"

Magic pet is the unique ability of mages. Find an ordinary small animal and make a contract to turn them into magical beasts. Different magical beasts have different functions.

But Imrik never looked for it, because he felt that the magic pet was just a creature that was useful to low-level mages, and it was not worth his time for it.

Once the familiar dies, the mage will permanently lose a point of constitution and will drop a level.This made even more efficient people like Imrik veto it.

But looking at this thin and tiny raven, Imrik's heartstrings were inexplicably touched. It probably hadn't eaten for a few days.

Perhaps the parents died, or were driven out of the nest, and the little raven couldn't even make ends meet.

Imrik suddenly recalled his life in the orphanage many years ago. At that time, he, like this bird, worked hard to survive, and even sold himself to work for the shelter foundation.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a strange emotion. What Imrik didn't know was that the emotion that filled his heart was pity.

He gently placed his hand on Raven's body, emitting a burst of warm white light.

"I, Imrik Sol, under the witness of Mystera, the Goddess of the Magic Web, signed a contract with you to grant you wisdom, and we will share weal and woe from now on."

Under the effect of the magic pet contract, Raven's body transformed into a physique similar to that of a summoned object, and the previous bad state was also swept away.

It opened its big black eyes, shook off its wings, and flew onto Imrik's shoulder affectionately, rubbing against his cheek, and squawked, "Master! Master! Dear Master!"

Imrik stroked the raven expressionlessly, feeling inexplicably soft in his heart.

Imrik shook his head. He didn't like this kind of weak emotion. For a long time, the realization of inner desires and obsession with spells were his ultimate pursuit. If there was anything blocking him, he would abandon it without hesitation.

At this time, a burst of information passed into Imrik's heart from the magic net, which was the ability of Raven.

Ravens have a unique ability that allows the caster to know the specific value of an item.

Not only that, Raven also has the common abilities of magic pets:
Shared Spells: At the master's option, he can have spells (excluding spell-like abilities) he casts on himself also affect his familiar.The familiar must be within 5 feet of its master when the spell takes effect.

Emotional Link: The master has an inner bond with his familiar, up to a distance of 1 mile.The master cannot see with his familiar's eyes, but they share hearts with each other.Due to the inherent limitations of this connection, only general psychic feelings can be communicated.

Because of this emotional link, the master makes the same associations with things his familiar has encountered or places he has visited.

Deliver Touch Spells: If the master is [-]rd level or higher, the familiar can deliver touch spells for him.If the master is with the familiar when he casts a touch spell, he can designate his familiar as a "contactor."

The familiar can then deliver the touch spell as the master himself.As normal, if the master casts another spell before the spell is delivered, the touch spell dissipates.

In general, the ability of the magic pet is basically useful when the mage level is low. After the high ring, you can even exchange for a specialization by discarding the magic pet.

However, most mages trust and love magic pets inexplicably. For most lonely mages, magic pets are their only partners.

Imrik said to Raven: "From today on, you will be called Black Moon."

After speaking, he put the raven in the hood of his mage robe, and came to the gate of the village with Lost.

When everyone arrived, Lost said first, "In order to ensure efficiency, I propose that we split up. What do you think?"

Old John frowned and said, "There are only six of us, in groups of two. If we encounter danger, I'm afraid..."

Imrik heard what Old John meant: Two people in a team, you don't have to worry about a fifth-level mage and a warrior, but I can't!

Imrik stood up and said at this time: "I don't need anyone to accompany me. It is enough to have a copper furnace with me."

After hearing this, Loste said happily: "That's right, Townsend, you are with me, Carotel and Rom, you two are in the same group as Old John."

Old John also relaxed. The two fourth-level fighters and himself were more than enough to protect themselves.

He just wanted to say that Imrik was only a third-level mage, so it would be too dangerous.Thinking of the terrifying fighting power of that Faqu creature, he dismissed the idea.

These three fourth-level fighters can't beat it together, worry?Just worry about yourself!

After several people were divided into groups, everyone assigned directions. Imrik was in charge of the west, Old John was in charge of the east, Lost was in charge of the south, and as for the north when they came, it was handed over to the wood elves.

Imrik called for the furnace, and they set off on foot.

"Eye of the Falcon!"

Imrik unleashes a second-ring spell on himself.

The greatly improved eyesight helps Imrik to see far away and alert his surroundings. This forest is not only threatened by goblin spiders.

According to the introduction of the wood elves, there used to be a troll clan in this forest. Although the troll clan was on the verge of extinction after years of hunting by the elves, there are still a few individuals wandering in the forest.

The troll is a dangerous evil creature with super resilience, even if its head is cut off, it can grow back again. The only weakness is fire and strong acid.

Trolls with a troll clan are usually relatively low-key, and will hunt their prey carefully to maintain the natural balance.

But if the social fabric collapses, the trolls become individual individuals, feral and insatiable.

And now the trolls in the forest are in the most dangerous state.

In addition, there are goblins all over the forest. Although these ugly little monsters dare not attack when the crowd gathers, but now that they are alone, they must be guarded against them.
