Chapter 1262: The Different Schools Of Alchemy
"This is called {Shape Forge}, you use Alchemy Magic to change the molecular composition of an object through the usage of surplus mana. Not everything can become anything though, but this was compatible enough for a low-grade steel shape forging," she explained. "While Synthesist simply combine materials together, Forgers change the material into what they want."
"A-And what Geomancers do?" I asked.
"This," she said, suddenly touching a chocolate cheesecake. "{Elemental Deconstruction}"
FLASH!n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
A wave of Manas hit the cheesecake, suddenly, large mushrooms of all colors started growing out of it, and then released a poisonous spore?!
"W-What is that magic?!" Celeste cried.
"This is Geomancy, the ability to manipulate the basic elements of the world and conjure spells out of them. like grabbing ice to turn it into a snowstorm, sand into glass, touch the ground to create arms of stone, notice the fire to shape it into swords of flames, the water will become a bubble to protect you, the plants will transform into fruits to feed you, and cheesecake, made off with cheese can fungus, can turn into poisonous mushrooms," she laughed. "Amongst many other uses!"
"So we can conditionally wield all elements without even having affinity for them?" Celica wondered.
"Yeah, pretty much," nodded Felicia. "Impressed yet?"
"Yes, very!" Celeste nodded.
"It's fantastic..." I muttered.
"Don't worry about the poison, I've already neutralized it," Felicia smiled. "Although my main Elements were Fire and Ice, I was able to learn about their combined Element, Temperature. I use it in combination with Alchemy to create all sorts of things. And I can guarantee you, you have good talent for Alchemy, all three of you shall become much stronger."
I had never truly imagined that Alchemy was so varied, this entire time I always thought it was just to process materials and make new items. But it can actually be used in combat in a more flexible way? I had thought about some things using my Alchemy Skill, but they were simple things such as raising walls of stone and so on.
"Eh? You're buying us equipment? Really?!" Celica asked. "B-But we brought ours?"
"Yeah, through the storage bag of Sylphy," Celeste said.
"Is that so? Hmm, may I see it? I shall judge if they're good enough or not," Felicia said.
"Okay..." I nodded, quickly summoning Glutton. "Glutton, bring the stuff out."
"WAARF!"
Felicia's eyes widened as she saw Glutton appear out of nowhere.
"Oh my... I-Is this real? I have never seen a Mimic of a Storage Bag! And one that actually works?!" asked Felicia. "Where did you find such a mysterious and rare monster, and you even made him your familiar! It must have been an arduous task to beat him and earn his respect..."
"Ahhh, not really, he was a normal Storage Bag before, well, the best one that was SSS Grade of quality," I explained. "But yeah, I turned him into a living being... Thing, with my special
magic."
"Eh?! You can... You're a Life Giver?" muttered Felicia. "Allan! You never mentioned your daughter had such a talent before!"
"Ahahah... I kind of forgot about that, my bad," father apologized.
"A-Anyways, we can talk about that later, here," I showed her the equipment everyone had. "Also this is my alchemy cauldron, she's Violet, similar to Glutton too."
"Guuuh! Hello~!"
Violet greeted Felicia, as the witch once more was shocked.
