Wizard: I brought the wrong system.

Chapter 148 Learning
A purely mechanical structure is unlikely to work in this world!
wrong!

Yaro thought of his 'magic spell' and made some modifications to the sentence.

It should be said that a purely mechanical structure without any disguise is unlikely to succeed in this world!
The drawback of a purely mechanical structure is that it lacks any magical aura, making its structural principles easily discernible to others.

Once others know the principle, it's very easy to sabotage it.

Leaving aside the formal wizards, if Yaro had prepared in advance, he could have learned the second-class water magic trick 'Wetness,' a trick that usually seems useless but could solve most technological devices.

"Is this another act of ghost story?"

Yaro gradually understood why most wizards would do some strange things when casting spells.

Only by keeping others guessing and not understanding the source of your move's power can you prevent it from being quickly countered.

Bosco smiled and asked, "Any other questions?"

Bosco sighed inwardly, "This is a true genius!"
With a boundless imagination, no matter what problem they encounter, they immediately start thinking of solutions.

Upon encountering a formal wizard, he immediately designed this weapon. Although his ideas were still somewhat immature, with the help of his genius imagination, it should mature quickly.

What a pity, what a pity, I don't have many years left!
Yaro hesitated for a moment; he did indeed have one crucial question left unasked, but…

"What? Is it inconvenient to talk about it?" Bosco said kindly. "If it's inconvenient, let's talk about it next time. You can ask me anytime if you have any questions."

Bosco's words actually calmed Jaro down.

Since you've already made up your mind, there's no need to hesitate any longer.

Having already accepted so many 'sunk costs,' I figured that would be enough to offset the bounty on my mother's capture.

Thinking of this, Yaro bowed respectfully: "Teacher, I have an item that retains a piece of spiritual power. The owner of that spiritual power is a very important person to me."

"Teacher, since fluorescent powder can nurture the soul, then... can it contain this spiritual power?"

Bosco was taken aback: "Externalizing mental energy?"

“This can only be done by a formal wizard, and it is extremely damaging to the wizard himself. Yaro, you are not lying, that person is indeed very important to you.”

Bosco made a pointed remark.

Yaro remained silent. Some things were difficult to say directly. He didn't know how much influence the Jungle House had on the Academy, so even though he trusted Bosco a lot, he didn't dare to tell Bosco certain facts to his face.

This is both a way to protect himself and to leave a way out for Bosco.

In case some problems do arise in the future, and he didn't say certain things in person, Bosco will at least have something to say to others.

Bosco pondered for a long time, then looked up at Yaro and slowly said, "The fluorescent powder contains chaotic fragments of will, which have a strong impact on reason."

"Furthermore, the carrier of a formal wizard's external spiritual power is energy, which is their own magic power. It is not a soul in itself. Therefore, the best way to stabilize that spiritual power is to stabilize that magic power."

Yaro looked up in surprise and asked in astonishment, "Teacher, since you said that fluorescent powder has an impact on rationality, why can it be used on the wooden ball?"

“Do you remember what I told you? Fluorescent powder has a good nourishing effect on lifeless souls,” Bosco explained earnestly. “The soul inside your wooden ball has no reason to begin with, so it can be used.”

"Even because the fragments of will contained in the fluorescent powder have a stimulating effect on those stagnant souls, they can help them to develop more quickly."

A stagnant soul? Born from it?

Didn't Mother say that Isha had excellent dual qualities and that the extracted soul was the most complete, so it was very likely that she retained her memories?
Yaro was in a state of turmoil, but remembering the purpose of his visit, he licked his lips, barely managing to suppress his emotions, and continued:

"Teacher, is there any way to stabilize this external magic?"

Bosco shook his head. "I can't think of any specific solutions. Usually, the best thing to do when you encounter this kind of problem is to ask a pharmacist, but the academy's pharmacists... and I don't get along very well."

"Is that so?"

Yaro mustered his strength, bowed again, and sincerely thanked him:

"Thank you very much for your answer, teacher. I will try to find a solution myself."

Seeing Yaro's absent-minded appearance, Bosco couldn't help but remind him, "You don't need to be anxious. The released magic dissipates very slowly. As long as you try not to use it, it will last for a long time. You can wait until later and go outside to ask a master of potions."

"Without someone to teach you, you can't possibly master potion-making on your own. Learning a few prescriptions by yourself would be a waste of your time and effort. Focus your energy on alchemy; perhaps you can find a solution there."

Hearing Bosco's words, Yaro became a little more sober. He had just been overwhelmed by too much strange information and couldn't process it for a moment.

"Okay, teacher, I understand."

After bidding farewell to the wizard Bosco, Yaro stepped out of the courtyard and took a deep breath.

"I was still thinking about how to settle those souls in the future, but now that's great, there's no need to settle them, they've all become idiots."

Looking back on that incident, it was the Jungle House that issued the order; Nicole was merely an executor, and Yaro did his best to save them.

The final result can be considered the optimal solution within the given conditions.

Nicole then went a step further, injecting the souls of the dead into the wooden ball, causing Yaro to continue to devote himself to the ball and repeatedly consider how to dispose of these souls.

"They spend all their time studying sunk costs, and end up getting themselves stuck without even realizing it."

Yaro shook his head with a wry smile, and could only put the matter aside for the time being.

"Continue to study alchemy. Perhaps we can find a way to stabilize the pendant's magic power. Even if we don't, it's still a way to strengthen ourselves, protect ourselves, and create the foundation for finding our mother... or even storming into the Wendell Wizarding Academy!"

Yaro comforted himself with this thought as he walked out of the mysterious hall.

Upon returning to Battle Corner Street, he had a clear objective and went straight to the potion stalls on Battle Corner Street.

Yaro was not asking them about stabilizing magic. Wizard Bosco had already explained that only a formal wizard could release magic and still retain spiritual power within it.

The highest-ranking apothecaries here are only intermediate wizard apprentices. With their wizarding level, how could they possibly know these things?

Even though they knew that their mentors were all formal wizards, and Bosco had just said that he didn't get along with the apothecaries in the academy.

If I were to let those wizards and apothecaries know this information, I'm afraid I wouldn't get any benefit from it.

Yaro has come to inquire about a potion to gather his spiritual power.

The stall owner seemed indifferent, explaining lazily, "I have three kinds of potions for gathering spiritual energy: Magic Gathering Potion, Spirit Absorption Potion, and Siren's Song Potion. The prices range from twenty to over forty magic stones."
