To be honest, in the current magic system, the type of magic that is most mysterious and attracts me the most is definitely Summoning Magic.
Although my attack magic, Healing Magic, detoxification magic, and holy strike magic are all quite good.
I have never dabbled in Summoning Magic, though I actually have had my own concepts for it. It's just that I lacked the necessary knowledge, so I could never realize them.
That was until I went to help Nanahoshi; her Summoning Magic likely comes from the teachings of Perugius.
This can be considered the top-tier Summoning Magic in this world.
After two months of secret learning, I also gained a deeper understanding of Summoning Magic.
I began my own attempts at Summoning Magic.
Summoning Magic basically involves communicating with some mysterious power through a magic circle, and then using a contract to solidify that communication.
Finally, the corresponding entity is summoned.
The magic circle corresponds to the tier of the entity you need to summon; higher-level entities require higher-level magic circles.
Rudy previously summoned the guardian beast Almanfi the Radiant and the Sacred Beast by using the highest-level magic circles, which is how it was achieved.
Currently, a magic circle of that level is not something I can handle.
Additionally, Summoning Magic can be used to summon items, but items cannot be summoned from just anywhere.
Generally, if you don't specify a particular item, you can only summon items randomly. If you want to summon a specific item, you need a special identifier.
For example, if you want to summon a book, you have to mark that book; otherwise, you might summon any random book in this world.
Learning this aspect is also very difficult, and I haven't mastered it yet.
I'm not clear on the level divisions of Summoning Magic either. Anyway, right now I can only manage to summon relatively simple things. This level should probably count as Intermediate Summoning Magic, right?
After a long period of designing magic circles and testing them myself, I finally designed a Summoning Magic that belongs only to me.
This day, I brought the Summoning Magic circle I had spent half a month meticulously designing to Nanahoshi's laboratory.
Nanahoshi's eyes lit up when she saw my magic circle.
The Magic Circle:
The main structure is an "Inverted Pentagram Skeleton."
An inverted pentagram is drawn with dark silver ink, with various special totems and patterns from this world painted at each point.
The middle structure is the "Corridor of Eight Circulating Winds."
It is filled with elemental powders of different attributes, with miniature "Torii" shaped spatial anchors inserted into each rune. The gaps between runes are filled with liquid mercury, forming a flowing river of mana.
The core structure is the "Triple Contract Codex."
There are three triangular contract layers: the first is the Celestial Vault Contract Layer, the second is the Leyline Resonance Layer, and the third is the Soul Binding Layer.
Finally, at the very bottom of the magic circle, I also designed an anti-counterfeit measure.
I designed a ring engraved with magic lines specifically created for this magic circle. The actual effect of these magic lines is to connect a critical section of the entire circle. Thus, as long as this ring is not embedded into the magic circle, this summoning circle cannot function normally.
Although it looks very impressive, I designed this Summoning Magic circle for only one purpose.
I spread the Summoning Magic circle I designed onto a stone magic table. Then, I channeled my mana to drive the circle, closed my eyes, and recited the directional magic incantation I had practiced many times.
"Ether echoes, dimensional rift!
With my soul-fire as the guide, borrowing the wings of the wind spirits,
Unbind, Ring of Covenant!
Manifest, Spirit of the Messenger!"
At that moment, accompanied by a bluish-white trail of light as my fingertips cut through the air, a wing-shaped phantom condensed from light particles appeared in the void.
This is the messenger I summoned.
Its body is a cyan-blue translucent fluid substance, with three rotating cores suspended at the center.
The outer layer is covered in translucent scales, making it look like a balloon, and six butterfly-like wings of light flutter on its back.
I used the power of the contract to feel the meaning it wanted to express.
"Master, I am your contracted spirit, Wind-Whisperer Void-Trace. I shall submit to you, clearing obstacles in your path, becoming the sharp sword in your hand to eliminate any incoming enemies."
"Very well, I accept your loyalty. What are your abilities?"
Then I saw the balloon suddenly puff up. "I possess the fastest speed in this world. I can traverse any space. As long as you need me, I can reach your side at the first moment."
Sigh, it speaks so grandly that I thought it had some great power, but in the end, it's just a messenger for delivering letters.
This Summoning Magic is a messenger I summoned for myself. After all, since I haven't mastered the Teleportation Magic Circle yet, it's easy to be separated from the people around me.
If a special situation occurs, it's easy to fail to receive relevant information in time. So, I summoned this messenger.
It has very high speed and can carry letter-sized items within its body.
In the future, if I am away and someone needs to send a letter to me, they can use this magic circle to summon my messenger. Then, by giving the letter to it, it will automatically bring the letter to me.
However, currently, this operation can only achieve one-way receipt of letters because the messenger only has a contract with me, so it can only find me. If it needs to find other people, further in-depth research is required.
I told Nanahoshi the incantation for summoning the messenger and then ran downstairs, waiting for Nanahoshi to try using the messenger to see if it could function normally.
While I was downstairs, I heard Nanahoshi reciting the incantation upstairs:
"This letter carries my thoughts, crossing mountains and seas without hindrance. Reach the recipient's palm swiftly, let no frost or mist stain it! Return once the task is done, do not disturb the causality of the mortal world."
Then, a silver light emanated from upstairs. In less than two seconds, a spiral-shaped ripple appeared in the space before me, and my messenger emerged from the ripple and handed me Nanahoshi's letter.
The greatest advantage of this messenger magic circle is that even people without mana can use it normally as long as they hold a magic crystal. Theoretically, no matter how Nanahoshi recited the incantation, there should have been no reaction.
But after using a magic crystal, she still succeeded.
This is truly a happy thing for me. Later, I just need to prepare a few more of these magic circles, and I will be able to receive letters from people related to me.
I gave this magic circle to Nanahoshi this time. She was also very interested in my magic circle and said she wanted to conduct research on it!
That's really an exaggeration; I originally just tinkered with it based on her research.
If Nanahoshi thinks there are things to learn from my Summoning Magic, then I must have a good talent for Summoning Magic. I hope I can make further progress in the future.
Over the next few days, I spent my time making scrolls for my summoning messenger.
