In the group of spellcasters.

The most typical wizards and warlocks usually have their own familiars, which serve as assistants or scouts. Psions also have similar companions.

It's just that it is not a magical beast, but an ultra-small astral construct created from astral crystals, natural deep crystals or magic crystals and other materials that are compatible with psychic energy, which are the so-called 'spiritual crystal servants'.

For Brian who lost his magic pet, he naturally would not miss the opportunity to make a spiritual crystal servant.

Moreover, in the field of psychic energy, only psychics who are proficient in the creative system can maximize the value of spiritual crystal servants.

He didn't waste any more time. After checking the illusion and warning arrays he had arranged at the entrance of the cave, he immediately began to concentrate on making his own spiritual crystal servants.

With the control of his thoughts, the ectoplasm crystal in Brian's hand was wrapped in energy and tremblingly suspended in mid-air.

In an instant, this shimmering dark blue crystal gradually melted into a pulsating dark blue liquid at a speed visible to the naked eye under the influence of spiritual power.

Ectoplasm crystals are usually shaped from the original ectoplasm ingested by psychics in the astral world. They are a type of ectoplasm material that is extracted into the material world.

However, with the emergence and mining of natural deep crystals and magic crystals in the material world, few psychic professionals have spent their energy to extract ectoplasm materials.

Because this kind of deep crystal in the material world can also be converted into the ectoplasm materials needed by oneself, which can be used to make psychic equipment or constructs.

The most important thing is that the entire transformation process does not consume its own energy.

After all, energy is an extremely important attribute for any spell caster, and the most fundamental manifestation of excessive energy consumption is aging.

Therefore, few people make fun of their own vitality.

However, this is not a big problem for Brian.

A psion like him who is short of money and cannot afford deep crystals can completely consume his own experience points to extract ectoplasmic crystals from the astral world, saving him a lot of extra expenses.

Of course, having said that, when he started to extract ectoplasmic energy, the moment he saw the rapidly consuming experience points, he instantly experienced what it was like to feel physical pain, and his heart almost sank to the bottom of his body.

So much so that I directly canceled the idea of ​​making an astral construct, and could only make my own spiritual crystal servants for the time being.

Because just a piece of astral crystal the size of a fist cost him more than 3,000 experience points. Not to mention the experience and time required to make an astral construct, given his current situation, he really couldn't imagine it.

.

After all, his first goal now is to upgrade the level of battle mage and psion as soon as possible.

As your level increases and your strength becomes stronger, the speed of gaining experience points will naturally increase. Naturally, you cannot make such a choice to sacrifice the near and far.

The plan to make an astral construct can only be considered after returning to the surface, or when there is a chance to obtain a large amount of natural deep crystals in the underdark.

Brian saw that the ectoplasmic energy had completely melted into a liquid state. He immediately mobilized his psychic power and began to imagine a blueprint of the psicrystal servant in his mind, shaping it perfectly.

This is a characteristic of creative psions when making constructs.

They don't need to go through various tedious processes like processing, carving, assembly, etc. like when wizards make golems.

For a psychic who is proficient in the creative department.

Astral crystals are the raw material for their creation, and his consciousness is the mold, forge and lathe. Only driven by his own thoughts, he can create a flawless astral construct.

Of course, they also have very significant disadvantages.

That is the construct made by the psion. It is impossible to build your own golem factory and turn it into assembly line mass production like the wizard's golem.

Because of this, the powerful single combat capability of the astral construct is highlighted.

Generally speaking.

A psion who is proficient in the creation department can only control three or four astral constructs at most.

Mainly because each astral construct is equivalent to their own thought, which in layman's terms is: incarnation.

Arcanists who master higher creations and magical creations are just the opposite.

If resources are sufficient, they can even command a huge army of golems.

Generally speaking, both have their own advantages.

For Brian, who is proficient in both, it is equivalent to completely making up for his own shortcomings.

This is also the fundamental reason why he is obsessed with becoming an advanced arcanist.

Among the group of spellcasters, compared with most advanced professions, arcanists are not among the group with the strongest combat effectiveness.

Because this profession is not designed to be fought alone, their real horror lies in the speed at which they can advance in technology.

Often at the beginning of a battle, they would directly ride the floating city docked in the demiplane into the enemy's face, then tear open the portal, release the army of constructed golems, and bulldoze it all, ending perfectly.

The enemy can't even see the exhaust from the floating city...

This is the correct way to open up a developed great arcanist.

However, the fact is that Brian has never seen or heard of the great arcanists' flat-out fighting method.

This is entirely a figment of his imagination based on the modern weapons facilities he has seen, as well as the direction of his future efforts.

After all, the saying "imagine boldly and verify carefully", in his opinion, has always been the most correct strategy and development direction in the field of arcane innovation.

Moreover, he believed that if he could really obtain the introduction to arcana, magic creation, advanced creation and plane mechanism recorded in the Nese Scroll, which were not fully understood during the Arcane Empire, as well as the knowledge contained in the Seven Secret Artifacts of Imaskar Mechanical civilization, and then solve the subsequent energy problems.

This ‘bold idea’ is actually not completely impossible.

It's just that the accumulation process is more difficult, and it is very possible that it is even difficult to advance the arcana due to some completely lost and fragmented knowledge.

He stopped thinking randomly and immediately concentrated on the work at hand.

For Brian, shaping the ectoplasmic energy was not as difficult as imagined.

It won't take a while.

A blueprint that had been designed in his mind came to life before his eyes.

The appearance of this palm-sized spiritual crystal servant is a combination of a standing cat image and a dark blue crystal shell. The whole thing resembles a current astronaut and is full of futuristic technology.

Looking at the cute spiritual crystal servant, he nodded with satisfaction.

He immediately took out two black crystals the size of rice grains from the dimensional bag, used his telekinesis ability to carefully control them, and embedded them into the two empty eyes of the spiritual crystal servant, acting as two shining black pupils.

This is the Shining Diamond, crystal clear, like a diamond in crystal.

Its main function is to increase the concentration speed of the spiritual crystal servant, and it also has a certain resistance to negative energy.

He shamelessly asked Santila to collect these two expensive diamonds for him.

In fact, he just had the attitude of giving it a try and casually added this material to the list of spellcasting materials he needed.

He thought that the other party would be deterred by the price when collecting these materials, but what he didn't expect was that this drow girl actually existed and got it for him so boldly that he felt a little embarrassed.

Otherwise, his plan to make spiritual crystal servants will be delayed indefinitely due to insufficient materials.

With two shining diamonds inlaid, this palm-sized spiritual crystal servant suddenly flashed a pair of bright black pupils under the soft light, making it look vivid.

But Brian knew very well that the entire production process was far from over, because there was still one most critical step waiting for him to complete.

Next, he needs to give the spiritual crystal servant a fragment of his own personality so that he can develop a sense of autonomy that is loyal to his master.
Chapter completed!
