The "Summoning Magic" spells were very different from the spells of the "Amplification Magic" and "Creation Magic." "Summoners" could cast a spell and summon powerful creatures to their aid. The spells of "Summoning Magic" were very expansive and useful.
There were a huge number of spells that did not summon any creatures.
For example, most of the healing spells known to this world were of the "Summoning Magic." When Arve healed Evan, he did not summon any creatures. In fact, he even repaired Evan's torn coat.
Among the spells of the "Summoning Magic," there were a large number of auxiliary spells. For the same reason, Summoners have always been the most desirable allies in team fights. They could weaken and immobilize enemies and strengthen allies. At the same time, they could summon strong creatures to their aid who would fight for them.
Moreover, this was not all that the "Summoning Magic" spells were capable of. The spells used to make banks, cards, and magic orbs work properly also belonged to the "Summoning Magic".
Evan saw a lot of different spells of the "Summoning Magic" in the library. He even thought about leaning one spell that could cover a magician's body with a thin shell. It would greatly increase the wearer's protection. Nevertheless, he gave up on that idea.
He didn't have enough time to practice using each of them. In Evan's opinion, he had chosen only the most useful and powerful spells.
Most magicians also based on these criteria and used only a few spells. Of course, some had several dozen spells in their arsenal and those who had only one.
If a magician has only a few spells, he can concentrate on training just those spells rather than wasting time on many spells. If a magician has only three spells and reaches the second stage of "Awareness" in each of them, he will one hundred percent defeat the magician who has ten spells.
Simply put, having three spells with the second stage of "Awareness" was times better than having ten spells that the magician hadn't reached any proficiency in using.
Of course, when Evan was in the "Forest of Aquamarine Crystals," he used the power of the 71st Demon, Duke Dantalion, to raise the "Awareness" of his two spells to the second stage.
But, "Magic Missile" and "Ice Veil" were zero level spells. Evan was sure that if he wanted to do the same thing with first-level spells, the demon would ask for some years of his life. Evan didn't see the point, he'd rather spend a few months training than sacrifice a few years, maybe even decades.
Demons didn't make magicians` life easier, they only gave them a way out of a critical situation by taking something of equal value in return.
< The spells of "Summoning Magic" are indeed much more interesting than I imagined. Initially, I thought their sole purpose was to summon creatures for help, but I was wrong. Hell, there were even spells in the library that summoned the armor!>
Evan thought, going to the underground floor with four books.
Among the spells that were in the library, Evan saw some that summoned armor, moreover this armor was not ordinary, but with unique effects. Of course, after a while, this armor would have disappeared, but it would be enough for combat.
There were even "Summoners" who were very similar to "Amplifiers" in their essence. They didn't want to rely on anyone but themselves or use amplification spells. Such "Summoners" wore no armor or weapons, they had special spells for that. They were very dangerous and unpredictable opponents. Of course, there were very few such mages, and only a few had the determination to choose this path and enough strength to follow it.
When Evan went down to the underground floor, he quickly drew and activated the sigil of the 71st demon, Duke Dantalion. Evan wanted to know exactly how much it would cost to increase the "Awareness" of one first-level spell.
When he said his wish, he was greatly surprised by the answer, for the book answered that his request could not be fulfilled. Evan recalled the demon and drew a second-level sigil. He demanded the same and got the answer he had expected.
"One hundred and fifty years."
Evan wasn't upset, he knew the price would be about that. The spells of the first level were many times stronger than the zero-level ones. It was the same as comparing a newbie magician to someone who had reached the "One-Pointed Star."
<Okay, now I can devote my full attention to training, but before I do it, which spell should I try to create?>
He understood that creating spells was an incredibly difficult art. Even Arve was still only at the second stage and was far from being able to create spells from scratch. Nevertheless, the successes of others did not interest Evan. He wanted to do it so that he would do it.
After some time of reflection, Evan figured out roughly what kind of spell he wanted, but there was a problem. He didn't have a similar spell as an example.
There were a huge number of spellbooks in the library, but Evan couldn't find some spells. There weren't any spells related to blood magic and soul magic. Moreover, there were understandably no forbidden spells in the library.
This upset Evan because in his past life, in addition to demon spells, he had used blood magic, the magic of souls, dark magic, and a huge variety of forbidden spells.
One of the spells Evan had chosen, the "Touch of the Abyss," was of the darkness element. But, it was a common spell, not a forbidden one.
<Hmm, it seems that besides the demon magic, the blood magic and the magic of souls are also forbidden in this world, as well as the particularly dangerous dark magic. That's really disappointing. I should definitely look into places where I can get such spells.>
Evan began to think in detail about the spell he planned to create in the near future. Evan knew that he would not be able to create any powerful and destructive spell at once. He decided to concentrate on something that would be relatively easy to create and be very useful.
Right now, he had no shortage of attack spells and no need in any defense spells, either.
Evan was a prudent man, and so he chose the "Seal of Cleansing." It would save him in most situations, although not in all.
<What will I do if I am not able to move and only the power of demons could help me?> Evan thought, looking at the brush on the table.
You have to draw a sigil to use a demon's power first, but if Evan had been tied up, for example, he wouldn't have been able to do that.
<To get out of that situation, I need to be able to draw a demon's sigil remotely... Right, I need to think of a spell that creates some blood I can control.. That way, I can draw a demon's sigil with just the force of my mind. Then it will be called "Blood brush"!>
