Dreue held the unique nucleus, when he examined it previously all he could see was a swirl of mana, now he could see it color which was blue, its color was more intense than the other blue nuclei.
Dreue thought carefully about these nine blue nuclei, he was extremely knowledgeable in the art of magic including spells, weapon…etc. since he spent most of his time in the library in the past searching for a cure to his condition.
The Stremreth Academy was one of the few academies in the region which teach magic, so it goes without saying that its library was filled with various book, of course some books were not available for the public, especially those who contain knowledge about demons, forbidden spells, deadly poisons…. etc.
So Dreue was well versed in magic, even exceeding common magical knowledge of average mages in some aspects in theoretical aspect at least, he also was about to get his hands on few rare books, but of course even though they contained some rare information, none of them was about a critical subject.
"I think this unique nucleus is called origin nucleus; it is used to make runic weapons"
"Nine high quality water nuclei, one of them is an origin nucleus, I think there were intended to be used in making a water runic weapon"
"Origin nucleus the most important component in making runic weapons, the main difference between enchanted weapons and runic weapons in the existence of the origin nucleus"
"Enchanted weapons are just normal weapons with a spell applied to them, improving their attack power by for example infusing them with a certain element, like infusing a sward with fie or lightening, or increasing the sharpness of a spear"
"Also, by manipulating their weight, you could have various effect like for example by the decreasing the weight of any weapon you could increase it speed, and by increasing the weight you could increase the damage"
"So, in general Enchanted weapons are weapons which are infused with elemental power, or had their physical properties modified in away or another, of course there are some exceptions."
"On the other hand, runic weapons can perform spells or skills, like a runic lightening sward launching a lightening slash towards the enemies, or a runic shield creating a protective dome around the area"
"a mage or martial artist who know an enchanting spell or skill could simply apply it on any object turning it into enchanted weapons for a period of time till the duration of the spell or skill end"
"Especially martial artists, their body strengthening skills are in a way or another like enchanting weapons"
"Enchanted weapons could also be made by enchanter mages; they use special method to inscribe spell circles on a weapon embedded with nuclei creating an enchanted weapon"
"These enchanted weapons do not require a prior knowledge of magic, they only need to be activated by some mana or aura or divine power to display their power, even though the amount of mana they need is insignificant, they still need it to trigger the spell, so they can't be used by a regular person"
"Runic weapons are used to cast prestored spells, their spells are not limited to infusion or properties modification, almost all kinds of spells can be inscribed on them, they are similar to magic scrolls in that aspect, by using mana you can activate them to cast the stored spells, the only difference is that magic scrolls can be used once, while runic weapons can be used countless times"
"The amount of mana required to use runic weapon is huge, since unlike enchanted weapons it is not only used to trigger the spell. While using runic weapons the power required to activate the spell is sole supplied by its holder"
"In short enchanted weapons only need to little mana to trigger a stored spell, for most of the time it can only by infusion or some changes in its physical properties"
"While runic weapons require you to supply the power for the spell fully, it can be used to cast various spells"
"Magic scrolls are similar to enchanted weapons in that they only need little mana to trigger the spell not supply the casting of the spell fully, but also similar to runic weapons in that they can be used to cast any time of spell, it can be said that they have the advantages of both types of weapons, the only and major down side is that are consumed after be activated so that they can only be used onetime"
…..
"So, water runic weapon…. hmmm" Dreue put away all the nuclei, he was lying in his bed, thinking about how could he make use of these nuclei.
"Runic weapon…origin nucleus…. stored spells…. water spells…." Dreue was lost in thought, he of course didn't how to make runic weapons, so making one was out of question, selling them also will be a waste no matter how much money he will make, in fact such high-quality nuclei and an origin one on the top of that, everyone would question how he was able to obtain them.
So, he would be bringing problems upon him self of anyone learned about these nuclei.
"Even though I have no idea about making enchanted weapons let alone runic weapons, in the end it is all about inscribing runic symbols, mana or power flowing through certain pathways between nuclei passing by spell circles to produce the final result which is the casted spell"
"I don't know how to inscribe runic symbols or what are the other materials used in making runic weapons, but though the eye of Perception I can see mana, its pathways and the magic spells, so maybe I will be able to make something similar to a runic weapon, my attack abilities are very weak so I would be satisfied by just anything, it would make a difference for me"
"The problem is that I have never saw an enchanted or runic weapon after I acquired the perception ability, if only I get the chance to see one even from afar, I will be able to have a general idea about how it works, in the past I saw several of them at the academy but I can't return now"
"Where the hell I could find one in this small town?"
