Master of Spells from Faerun

Chapter 246 Powerful nine-ring spell

[Avoking the High Undead] is an extremely powerful eighth-level spell. Depending on the caster's level, the caster can use expensive casting materials to create a high-level undead creature from the corpse.

Two clay pots, one filled with earth from the tomb and the other with salt water.This spell must be cast on a dead body. The caster must place a black onyx in the mouth or eye socket of each dead creature. The onyx must be worth at least 100 gp per life level of the undead creature created.The spell's effects will turn these gems into worthless shells.

[Awakening the higher undead] can create four different types of undead creatures from low to high: shadows, bound spirits, ghosts, and soul-capturing demons.

Since Imric has now reached a caster level of 20 or above, all four conditions for creating undead creatures are met.

In the Tower of Welcome in [Twilight Star], Imric gathered all the corpses here. He planned to transform all the corpses here into Soul Capture Demons and imprison them in the Tower of Welcome. After all, With his current methods, he still cannot control tens of thousands of soul-prisoning demons whose life levels have reached at least level 12.

The soul-bringer is a very powerful undead creature. They can cast a large number of spell-like abilities at will, such as: Manipulate the Dead, Curse Level 4, Confusion, Control Undead, Death Knell, Ghoul's Touch, Cause Serious Injury, Lesser alien ally, ray of enfeeblement, ghost hands, true seeing, vampiric touch.

Each soul-capturing demon can capture the soul and imprison it in the body. The soul-capturing demon can squeeze and consume the soul to improve its spellcasting ability, or deflect the target of some directional single-target spells, so that the soul in the body can bear it on its behalf.

For example, if a mage casts the banishment technique on the soul-capturing demon, it is very likely that the person who was expelled from the crystal wall system will become the unlucky person imprisoned in the body of the soul-capturing demon.

Such a powerful soul-capturing demon can be said to be a proper high-level undead creature. The weakest soul-capturing demon can reach a life level of 12. According to the quality of the corpse and the time the soul-capturing demon has existed, the most powerful soul-capturing demon It can even evolve into the ultimate super-giant Soul Capture Demon with a life level of 36.

Of course, most of the corpses Imric collected were just ordinary humans and barbarians, and only a few professionals might be able to transform into soul-capturing demons beyond level 12.

However, before transforming the corpse, Imrik had to make one preparation.

He first took out the golden Super Demonic Pearl and suspended it in front of his chest, and then triggered the most powerful function of the Super Demonic Pearl.

[Legendary Spell Enhancement]!
Imric's caster level instantly reached level 50! , and then, that is
Nine-ring transformation spell [Spell Delay - Body Change]!
Imrik's body disappeared in an instant, and was replaced by an extremely tall skull-like creature, with dry flesh and blood hanging on its pale bones, and a huge hole in the middle.

Yes, through this spell, he turned himself into a soul-capturing demon with a life level of level 30!
The nine-ring transformation spell [Shape Change] is a very magical and powerful spell. Even the person in charge, Alston, learned it from the chief of the transformation system in the Red Robe Wizards Association at a huge cost.

This spell allows you to transform into any non-unique creature you want, as long as the target's life level is not higher than the caster's caster level. Of course, as a nine-ring spell, [Shape Change] also has limits. , no matter how high the caster's level is, the upper limit of body change is level 30.

The casting material for body change requires a jade crown worth 1500 gold coins. Bring it to your head and hold the material of the creature you want to transform into.

The former is not precious, but the latter is a headache for spellcasters. You must know that many very rare creatures have extremely powerful powers or characteristics, but parts of them are extremely difficult to obtain or extremely expensive.

Of course, these are nothing to Imric. He is so arrogant without the need for casting materials. As long as Imric knows the appearance and name of the creature he wants to become, he can change it at will. Of course, the premise cannot be similar to A unique creature such as a demon lord or a god, just like if he wants to become Kelben Blackstaff, it is impossible because there is only one Kelburn Blackstaff in the world, but if he wants to become A half-elf, but that's okay, because there are more than one half-elf.

The price is so high, but the effect is also outstanding. The caster after [Shape Change] will lose his or her original supernatural abilities, but will gain all the abilities and characteristics of the transformed creature, and still retain the spellcasting ability of the original body. ability.

Imagine a swordsinger being turned into a six-armed snake demon by a mage, waving his six arms and slashing wildly, or a mage being turned into a beholder, who can not only use the original spells at will, but also does not need to act like an eye mage. The price is the same as losing the ray ability and anti-magic field.

By analogy, [Shape Change] opens a colorful door for the caster. The originally weak spellcaster can transform into a violent Balor Fire Demon in an instant, holding a decapitating sword to cut off your head. Or transform into a terrifying ancient hydra lizard. Each head can cast spells independently, and the casting speed is several times that of ordinary people!Of course, the premise is that you can accept the schizophrenic way of casting spells.Even according to the broken magic crystal, there is a legendary legendary transformation spell, which completely erases the upper limit of the level of body change, and can be transformed into any existence at a level not higher than the caster level at will.

This is the transformation spell. Just relying on one hand [Shape Change] and one hand [Time Stop] is enough to be arrogant to other factions. It is synonymous with the essence but not the wealth.

The so-called nine-ring [Transformation Divine Dragon] is nothing compared to it. The only advantage is that a caster who has just reached the ninth level can turn into a moderately powerful real dragon. [Transformation Divine Dragon] can transform into a monster with a comparable life level. A giant old red dragon at level 28.

But in the hands of a mage whose caster level reaches level 30, the upper limit of [Shape Change] is too high.

At this time, Imrik turned himself into a super-giant Soul Capture Demon through [Shape Change]. This was a preparation to suppress the Soul Capture Demon created by him. You must know He couldn't control so many soul-capturing demons. In order to prevent these soul-capturing demons from resisting, Imric directly turned himself into their boss.

Yes, I really don’t have the ability to control so many soul-capturing demons, but do you dare to resist the boss?Undead creatures are lawful evil creatures with an order of hierarchy. Even if Imrik does nothing, the created Soul Capture Demon will unconditionally obey the orders of the super giant Soul Capture Demon he transformed.

This is also Imrik's idea of ​​a roundabout way to control these soul-capturing demons, using customary obedience to order them.

[Zhiyuan - Summon the advanced undead] × 10000!

Imrik stretched out his pale skeletal fingers, with traces of dried black flesh hanging on them. He quickly threw out powerful advanced necromantic spells one after another, and soul-capturing demons were born in confusion on the corpses.

Under the suppression of the super-giant soul-capturing demon, no born soul-capturing demon dared to cross the gate guarded by Imrik. Imrik slowly cast out spells one after another. Because the number of tens of thousands of corpses exceeded Even though Imrik was a quick-cast spell, it still took nearly half an hour to transform these corpses.

If a member of the Good God Church entered at this time, they would probably call the Evil God coming.The rich aura of the undead almost turned into black air. Tens of thousands of terrifying Soul Prisoners crowded in every corner of the Welcome Tower. They roared silently and looked around in confusion.

Finally completing the last assignment, Imrik left the Welcome Tower with satisfaction, closed the door tightly, and then ordered [Twilight Star] to completely seal the Welcome Tower to prevent these Soul Prisoners from running out and dying. The creatures do not eat or drink, so even if these soul-capturing demons are kept here, there is no need to worry about them starving to death.

The two dragons, the red dragon and the black dragon, have become married. The dragon eggs obtained from the Dragon Witch Cult in the demiplane are close to being born under their careful care. These cheap soul-capturing demons cannot be allowed to destroy these. The birth environment of precious dragon eggs.

Imrik transformed and became his original appearance again. The physical change can last for 10 minutes per caster level. After the spell delay, the duration increases to 10 hours per caster level. If Imrik does not cancel it, it will be enough to maintain. More than ten days.

He glanced back at the tower with satisfaction. This way he had a real army of advanced creatures, tens of thousands of Soul Capture Demons. Imric even suspected that releasing them could easily kill a city.

You must know that the casting materials for these tens of thousands of soul-prisoning demons, if used by normal mages, would require a full 1200 million gold coins!And it also requires a lot of time to prepare. Even at the rate of making two Soul Prisoners a day, it will take 14 days, which is nearly [-] years!
Of course, there is a reason why the casting materials and spell slots of [Calling Higher Undead] are so expensive. After all, it turns the corpse into a permanent intelligent undead creature, rather than something like [Summoning Undead Creatures] or [Undead Natural Disaster]. Generally, time-sensitive undead creatures are created.

Imric had also considered the nine-level spell [Undead Scourge]. This spell can also create undead creatures, and can create undead creatures four times the caster's life level. With Imrik's current life level, he can directly create undead creatures. There are hundreds of undead creatures with life levels, but the undead creatures created by [Undead Catastrophe] all have a duration, and the undead creatures created are also the same as [Summon Undead Creatures], [Evoke Undead], [Avoke Higher Undead] 】no difference.

Imric is going to find time to improve the Scourge of the Undead and turn it into a version of the war spell. [Avoking the High Undead], a spell that uses corpses to create intelligent undead creatures, has no research value for Imric. Making one in an instant and a hundred in an instant are just a matter of 100 more clicks for Imrik.
