Chapter 132: Profession and Skills Plasticity_2
Along with the blessing.
Bobo opened his eyes and started the process.
He chose the blue icon with a magic staff featuring an array behind it.
The icon expanded directly into a skill tree.
Without needing Kana to explain, Bobo continued to look at it on his own.
The nobility of a mage, even for Kana, required some adjustments.
But it's undeniable that becoming a mage through the profession system is definitely different from mages in reality.
And it can almost be concluded that professional mages in reality are somewhat stronger.
However, one must know that training a mage in reality requires a lot of money and resources.
If you force the comparison to real-world professions, it might be more like a combat mage or war mage.
This is a subject specifically provided by magic academies in many major countries, aimed at the relatively poor or those with moderate talent.
Most of these mages will enter the armies of various countries as army mages.
These mages don't place much importance on theoretical systems and won't study too deeply, as long as they are usable.
Most of these mages will choose some simple and direct spells with sufficient power, specializing in a few spells to provide magical support in battles.
Of course, such mages are naturally looked down upon by orthodox mages.
But compared to the past when mages were rare and noble, training one required extremely high resources and time. Combat mages are at least a quick solution.
It ensures that talented individuals are not wasted arbitrarily.
But even so, only the financially robust major countries can afford it.
For example, the Cohen Kingdom is already considered large, but even with its national strength, it still doesn't have the qualifications.
Of course, compared to such combat mages, the profession system constructed by Kana is obviously different.
For passive skills, naturally, all professions are treated equally, and there's only one at level one.
[Magic Recovery: The body naturally perceives and accepts magic power, increasing the speed of magic recovery.]
For casters, it's definitely an excellent passive skill. No caster would complain about having too much magic, or about their magic recovering too fast.
They would only complain it's not enough or not fast enough.
With a click on the skill, Bobo felt this was equally obvious, after all, they had just been in battle.
Everyone's magic power had been somewhat depleted, especially Bobo, who had used spell attacks, losing more than half.
She could clearly feel her magic power accelerating in recovery.
Then she looked at the active skills available at level two.
[Elemental Arrow: Expends magic power to use arrows of different elements for attacks based on one's affinity with different elements.]
[Hand of Imprisonment: Expends magic power to summon multiple magic arms to directly restrain and control the enemy.]
Two skills, one for output, one for control.
Elemental Arrow is a skill specially adjusted and selected by Kana.
It adapts to each mage's different affinities, so the elemental arrows used by different mages vary.
For this, Bobo's choice was naturally the attacking Elemental Arrow. After all, she had really no spell attacks, except for Flaming Arrow.
But her Flaming Arrow was a trick, useful for igniting things, but impractical for damaging enemies—especially now as the enemies' strength was gradually increasing, it was becoming increasingly powerless.
Next were the level four skills.
[Mage Shield: Expends magic power to summon a layer of magical shield, which can be used on others.]
[Magic Missile: Expends magic power to summon magic missiles. The number of missiles varies with magic expended and can target multiple targets simultaneously.]
[Magic Weapon: Expends magic power to imbue weapons within a range, enhancing their power with additional magical damage.]
The three skills clearly demonstrate that the mage profession constructed by Kana, apart from attack skills like those of combat mages, also offers additional support mage options.
But the strength of the mage profession lies in the versatility of spells.
Mages structured from professions can't match up to mages in reality, but are somewhat more flexible than combat mages trained by large countries.
One could say, it's a fast track for aspiring casters or talented Night Watchers.
However, with these skills for proficiency bonuses, it allows these Night Watcher casters to learn and use other spells more proficiently. Of course, these spells won't have system proficiency or damage bonuses.
But the skills Kana added were all carefully selected. These skills generally cover the broad direction of many spells in the early levels. Choices can fully allow specialization in a certain direction of spells.
This time, Bobo didn't choose an offensive skill but made the more prudent choice of Mage Shield.
This time there was no need for others to urge her; Bobo herself began using a skill.
She was more curious than anyone else about the changes brought by the spell system skills.
She extended her right hand and waved, and the use of magic power directly condensed into an arrow in front of her.
And this arrow was a bright green, bubbling on top.
"Strong Acid Arrow?" The two spoke in unison.
