Chapter 7 - Learning More About Magic

In front of Sid was a cute little girl, she was sleeping on her bed while she was covered by her blanket. She was smiling as if she was dreaming about something good, but what she said startled Sid.

"Azazel I'm too young for this", mumbled Lily.

'Yup I'm definitely going to logout the normal way'.

Sid's virtual avatar turned into tiny specks of light before it completely dispersed. When Sid's eyes opened he felt comfortable as if he didn't play the whole night, it was like everything was a dream.

Sid himself understood that it wasn't a dream when he noticed the ring on his middle finger. The ring looked simple and plain, it was made of silver and no useless designs were on it.

Sid tried to take the ring off of his finger, but it won't budge.

"You got to be kidding me".

Sid checked the box once again and found out that it truly won't come off. He checked the internet and found out it really won't, people tried many different ways but they still couldn't do it. Luckily the ring as it is was obviously water proof, and it doesn't get corroded.

Sid sighed in relief as he didn't want to lose this virtual device that costed him 10k.

"The tech that comes with this virtual device feels so advanced that it's like it's from a different world", said Sid.

Sid went around the internet once again and decided to find out more about the magic in the game.

It turns out that the magic in New World has twelve tiers and all of them have their purposes. The first three tiers are the Healing, Enhancement, Damage. Tier four to six are upgraded versions of the first three tiers. The tiers that come after are focused on the elements, the higher the tier the higher the difficulty to use them and also the higher the Mana needed. Tier seven is Wind, tier eight is Water, tier nine is Earth, tier ten is Fire, tier eleven is Light, tier twelve is Darkness.

Some people say that there are more tiers higher than darkness, but the Court Mages say otherwise. The players though think that those tiers can only be used by a hidden class connected to magic.

'What could those higher tiers be'.

Sid decided to think about it later and just continue reading.

To use magic that is tier four to six a player needs at least 1,000 Mana, and have the upgraded version of the skill [Beginner Magic] which is [Intermediate Magic]. Sid was wondering how to upgrade a skill so he also searched it, only to find out that it was quite simple. A player only needs to master the skill [Beginner Magic] and then try to connect to magic circles.

"Oh so it's that easy".

With his question answered he decided to continue reading. Tier four magic needs an extra magic circle to be connected to it and tier five needs two extra connected magic circles, tier six needs five extra magic circles connected.

To use tier seven to twelve spells a player needs 10,000 Mana, and the upgraded version of the skill [Intermediate Magic] which is [Advanced Magic]. The magic circle's shape now has to change, it has to be the same symbol for the element you want to use. The lines needed to draw the magic circle fore the element is what determines it's difficulty, the more lines the higher the tier.

The magic spells connected to wind aren't exactly weak, it's just that they are easier to use. Magic spells like wind magic can also be upgraded by a tier or more by adding more details to the magic symbol.

"It seems that the advantage of drawing in the air is only for low tier spells".

Sid stood up and was about to leave his room when he noticed something peculiar, he could see an icon.

"What the heck is this?".

Sid got controlled by his curiosity and tried to press the icon with his fingers, but he couldn't.

"How am I supposed to press this?".

Sid then tried to think that he pressed it, in his mind. A panel immediately appeared, it was Sid's current stats.

[Name: Azazel

[Unused Stat Points: 2]

"I can access my stats without logging in? Wait a minute I finally got stat points, so does this mean I get free stat points every five levels? It's too early to think that it's true, but I guess so".

Sid then used his stat points and thus his status changed once again.

[Unused Stat Points: 0]

Sid put his free stats on dexterity once he learned that it affects his ability to draw magic circles, the higher the dexterity the easier it is to draw a magic circle. For other classes this affects them in a different way, some classes makes their precision and hit rate higher through dexterity.
