Chapter 272 Acquiring New Skills!

-----

Nonetheless, I had already made up my mind about what I was going to pick for Skills for the moment. The Recipe Book looked tempting, but for the moment I will delay it for later. For the moment, I want to prioritize the acquisition of the Invoker Talent Skills before anything else, especially that Synthetize Skill… But it is required to learn the other three first, so I will have to wait for the usage of such an interesting talent. If I can get some levels out of making potions and gathering rare herbs through my Alchemist Subclass, that might hasten my availability of Skill Points. But for now…

[You have exchanged 40 Skill Points]

[You learned the [Create/Delete Familiar: Lv1] Skill]

[You learned the [Summon/Unsummon Familiar: Lv1] Skill]

[You learned the [Familiar Storage Expansion: Lv1] Skill]

[The Skill Section has been reorganized]

Oh? It seems that things have changed a bit inside of my own Status. Apparently, Skills have been reorganized and there are new Skill sections. Is this a way to not make everything convoluted? Let's see…

I see, they had indeed changed, now there is a "Magic Skills" Section where all the new Skills went. So these Skills are completely magic, huh? And lastly, it seems that Blood Edge is also purely magical, so it was added there. Apparently Gifted Magic Apprentice doesn't count as magical as it merely enhances my talent with magic, it doesn't have any direct effect. And Alchemy is probably not considered purely magic, perhaps something different as materials and technique is also needed.

Nonetheless, now I only have 10 Skill Points, which feels rather frustrating to think about, but I'll have to just level up to get more Skill Points. For the moment, I should check these new Skills.

-----

[Create/Delete Familiar: Lv1]

Skill Proficiency: 0/10000

A unique ability of the Invoker Talent, allows for the creation and deletion of Summons through the absorption of Spirit Orbs from monsters. Created Familiars can be assigned names and remain in the form of Cards stored inside the Grimoire until Summoned. Each Level increases Summoned Familiars Stats by +20% (Invisible Boost) and allows for the strengthening of Familiars to higher Ranks, and for the creation of higher Ranked Familiars.

Current Monster Rank Creation Availability:

Level 1: [Rank H] [Rank G] [Rank F]

Available Summons:

[Fenrir (Beast)]: [H] [G]

[Orcus (Beast)]: [G]

[Spore (Plant)]: [H]

-----

Oh? So does this means I am only limited to create up to F Ranked Familiar Summons? This might also mean I cannot strengthen my Summons past F Rank for now… I guess I've never had the opportunity to do that yet. I would assume I could make them E and maybe D Rank if the Skill level ups again, right? At the very least I can choose any summon I want as long as I have them to begin with. Therefore I need to collect them by finding new monsters' spirit orbs to convert into familiars.

I suppose I can still get Orcus, Fenrir, and Spore to F-Rank. Although the availability of Spirit Orbs is shortening, all three of them should be closer to evolving already, as I've been picking up Spirit Orbs for a while and feeding these items to them. Currently only Fenrir managed to evolve into a Dark Horned Wolf and he had already become incredibly strong. I don't know what could happen if Spore evolves, and also Orcus… I am slightly excited to see the results.

[Summon/Unsummon Familiar: Lv1]

Skill Proficiency: 0/10000

A unique Skill of the Invoker Talent, grants the ability to Summon the Familiar Cards created through Summon Creation and the quantity of how many can be summoned at the same time. Each Level grants a higher quantity of Summons that can be maintained at the same time alongside increasing the stats of Summoned Familiars by +10% (Invisible buff) with each level.

Maximum Quantity of Summons that can be Summoned:

Level 1: [H Rank: 15 Times] [G Rank: 25 Times]

-----

[Familiar Storage Expansion: Lv1]

Skill Proficiency: 0/10000

A Unique Skill of the Invoker Talent. It grants an expanded Storage of Summon Cards where Summon Cards can be stored inside the Grimoire and grants the ability to turn back Summoned Familiars into Summon Cards to store them inside the Grimoire by spending some Mana.

Current Storage Expansion:

Level 1: +30 Storage

Available Summons:

[Fenrir (Beast) (G Rank)] x10

[Orcus (Beast) (G Rank)] x5

[Spore (Plant) (H Rank)] x4

-----

This is just what I had expected. With this I can not only summon my own Familiars, but also store them as Cards inside my Grimoire! I feel like this Talent was made for me.

"Phew, I am back~ Huh? Blake? You're done with the crops so early today?"

My mother had finally arrived at home after an hour of going out, safely. We were also done washing the vegetables we just harvested, and Eleanora was cutting some to make a stew. She was an excellent user of any weapon, so giving her a knife made her a great cook.

Of course, I had to teach her how to cook a bit, and my mother also helped. She seemed filled with the determination to cook meals for me.
