Wizard: Unlimited Profession Slots Chapter 701 - 329: King of Illusions

In the heart of the workshop, Ron remained still, sensing the delicate shifts within his body and soul following his shift to becoming an Enchanter.
His Spiritual Power had merely risen from 5.58 to 5.68, while Magic Power went up from 4.8 to 5.0.
Yet, this modest increment of 0.1 and 0.2 represented a massive advancement for Ron.
Rather than a straight-line progression, the enhancement marked an explosive shift in quality.
Lifting his right hand deliberately, he lightly brushed against an ordinary iron nail resting on the workbench.
Thanks to the fresh influence of 'Material Perception,' the apparently basic iron nail unveiled its remarkable intricacy right away.
Its inner molecular structure appeared vivid like a 3D labyrinth, with every atomic oscillation frequency detectable down to the finest detail.
What was even more incredible, Ron managed to 'perceive' the minuscule imperfections hidden within the nail—ones invisible to the bare eye—along with the innate pathways ideal for energy passage.
'This marks the fundamental transformation from advancing to a fresh profession.'
A flicker of contentment appeared in Ron's gaze, though he soon reverted to his composed, examining mindset:
'Rather than just boosting numbers, it's a full overhaul of the perception framework.
Imagine evolving from basic sound detection to picking out the nuanced variations in every tone.'
Yet, the real thrill came from the inventive sparks ignited by the 'Creator’s Blessing.'
Within this unique condition, an unseen power appeared to broaden his thoughts.
Areas of knowledge that once stood apart now linked through smart intersections.
Concepts like the proportion principles in Magic Potion Making and the substance alterations in Alchemy, the power pathways in Enchantment alongside the invocation methods of Spiritual Shock... endless opportunities merged and sparked within his consciousness.
Approaching the weapon rack, Ron retrieved the Scattering Bullet he had employed earlier versus the Chaotic Spirit Monster.
These small iron spheres, about the size of a thumb, bore only elementary activation runes etched onto their exteriors.
During the clash with the Chaotic Spirit Monster, they proved useful, yet their impact fell short of ideal.
Basic blasts and interferences posed little threat to such high-level Abyssal Beings.
'Time to discover the transformations 'Enchanting Enhancement' offers.'
Activating the recently gained 'Guided' trait, his engraving tool gained an air of sentience.
Intricate runes, which before demanded intense concentration and steady breath to inscribe, now proceeded effortlessly, akin to clouds drifting and streams meandering.
While the engraver glided over the iron ball's surface, Ron distinctly sensed the faint harmonies echoing through the metal at every touch point.
Far from mere breakage, it felt like a profound 'dialogue.'
Almost as though inquiring from the substance how it preferred to channel the energy.
Guided by 'Material Perception,' he uncovered numerous overlooked subtleties within the iron ball:
Certain regions displayed a helical density pattern, inherently perfect for building energy conduits;
What looked like haphazard contaminants were in fact arranged in deliberate formations, capable of yielding surprising energy boosting results when harnessed rightly;
The ball's gravitational center imbalance even held usable mechanical properties.
'Ah, I understand...'
Ron contemplated the iron ball held in his palm:
'Materials hold no lifelessness. Every metal fragment, every speck of dust or rock, carries its unique 'nature' and 'inclinations.' An authentic enchanter avoids imposing on materials; instead, he converses with them, seeking harmony.'
Opting for the route of minimal opposition and peak conductance, he started etching the initial rune layer—the energy transmission grid.
'Enchanting Enhancement' took effect without delay.
Runes limited before to basic outer energy flows now delved into the core to form a multidimensional energy lattice.
No longer mere superficial etchings, each rune path involved a reconfiguration at the molecular scale.
In a truly wondrous turn, while Ron inscribed the runes, unprompted alterations emerged deep inside the iron ball.
Inherent energy routes began realigning themselves, syncing with the fresh rune framework; minuscule contaminants shifted positions, evolving into innate energy hubs.
'Could this be... the material responding willingly?'
Ron halted his work, scrutinizing this novel occurrence with care:
'Beyond amplifying my ingenuity, the 'Creator’s Blessing' allows me to release the material's hidden capabilities. This transcends conventional enchantment, reaching a profounder realm of... genesis.'
Fueled by this inventive surge, Ron crafted a novel rune array for amplification.
Its clever aspect lay in drawing in nearby environmental magic upon detonation, triggering a sequential energy surge.
Synergies from diverse professions started to activate as well.
Drawing on his Alchemist skills, he unified elements seamlessly, merging runes with the bullet's metallic form without any clashing from varied methods;
Expertise in Magic Potion Making guaranteed even energy spread, maximizing each rune's potency;
The Primordial Wizard's 'Radiation Field' supplied a steady energy backdrop throughout the enchanting, shielding against outside magical disruptions.
Etching the subsequent rune layer proved far more intricate.
Ron had to integrate strength boosters and accurate direction modules without interfering with the foundational energy grid.
Such precision demanded flawless handling, since the tiniest error might unravel the whole setup.
However, aided by the 'Guided' trait, this challenging task turned manageable.
The engraving tool acted with anticipation, instinctively correcting its tilt and force just before any mistake could happen.
