The former, in simple terms, allows one to trace back from a piece of matter that can be separated from a whole to the whole itself. It also enables one to find the large concentration point of something through a trace element.

For the Sleeping Island witches, this is undoubtedly a survival-oriented ability. For example, as long as she holds a drop of fresh water, Aqi Ma can lead everyone to find streams or lakes. Also, based on the fruit kernels remaining in animal excrement, she can judge the location and size of fruit forests.

Precisely because this ability makes significant contributions to the team, several East Territory witches gathered around her and formed a rather close-knit little group.

However, in Roland's eyes, "Tracing the Origin" is undoubtedly a signpost for discovering natural resources, and its versatility is even stronger than Sylvie's magic eye.

The logic is simple. Sylvie's magic consumption will increase exponentially when she sees through the earth's layers, and the distance will be greatly reduced. It is still competent to divide the ore layers in the North Slope mining area, but once it is replaced by ore veins buried deep underground, she will be powerless. In addition, even for shallow resources, it is difficult for her to distinguish the type and scale of the target. At most, she can only say that there is something underground, but she can't say exactly what it is.

Aqi Ma has no such concerns. She can not only accurately locate single resources, but also know their reserves clearly. If it is used in conjunction with Lucia's purification ability, perhaps the entire periodic table can be moved to the Graycastle map.

When Roland was studying geography, the most impressive thing was a national map full of various resources. Now that Graycastle has achieved nominal unification, he should also work in this direction and expand the source of raw materials to the whole country, and even the Dawn and Fertile Plains.

But even if Aqi Ma is unwilling to help, it is not an irreparable thing for Neverwinter City. After all, resources will not run away. As long as he is given sufficient time, he can always achieve this goal.

Doris's "Magification" is different.

Limited by the lack of observation methods, his research on magic has not even entered the door. If he wants to control it better, witches are the only way.

Magification is such an incredible ability.

Wendy's description in the book is: it can make the magic attached to dead objects form a cycle, thereby greatly slowing down the decay, making them seem to have life.

Roland holds reservations about this comment. He knows that the dead objects in the witch's mouth cannot have magic is just a habitual saying—although in most cases, this law will take effect, but there is one exception, that is, God's Stone of Retaliation.

The joint experiment of Isabella and Agatha shows that God's Stone does have magic, or... the ability to attract magic, and this was originally a characteristic exclusive to the awakened. When Isabella smoothed out the interference area of ​​God's Stone, extremely subtle magic residues could be observed on its surface, but it could only last for a few seconds. Throughout the entire process, no third party injected magic into it, so the remaining trace of magic must belong to God's Stone itself.

In other words, although God's Stone of Retaliation does not have the high concentration of magic that can invalidate other abilities as he previously speculated, it does contain magic, but the content is extremely rare. As for why it can isolate the effect of abilities, it remains to be studied. Roland can at least be sure that the statement that "magic repels dead objects" is not entirely correct.

Considering that the God's Stone adjusted by Isabella will soon become an ordinary stone, Agatha made a bold guess: the magic of God's Stone will still continue to be lost, but it can continuously absorb new magic like a living body, making it form a cycle, like the sand on the beach, absorbing sunlight to heat up during the day and releasing it at night. Otherwise, it is impossible to explain that Isabella's ability did not involve the structure of God's Stone, but completely changed its nature.

She believes that God's Stone was "killed" by Isabella.

Wendy's statement obviously follows Agatha's conclusion.

Roland didn't care. He always felt that things like God's Stone veins were dead objects. Being able to breathe magic in and out had nothing to do with whether it was dead or alive. The principle was unclear just because humans knew too little, just like humans knew nothing about the microscopic world before the invention of the good microscope.

Therefore, in his eyes, magification can also be said to be a kind of "God's Stone-ization".

Of course, no matter what the truth is, the effect of this ability is undeniable. Test.

The test shows that it can take effect on targets such as magic stones, sigils, and enchanted items, so that the magic infused into them can be replenished by itself, and it also cycles back and forth.

For example, a copper rod of "Dawn One" that is filled with magic can generate electricity for five days. When Mystery Moon holds a broken sword, the time can be extended to about half a month, but no matter what, the magic it gives is always lost and will never stay on the enchanted object.

This means that even if Mystery Moon's magic level catches up with Anna, she can only increase the number of Dawn One running at the same time by a few times. Not to mention large-scale application, even meeting the lighting and equipment operation of the factory is beyond its capacity.

The Dawn One that has been magified by Doris can absorb ubiquitous magic by itself to replenish the consumption gap, so that the magnetic pole conversion effect can be effective for a long time. Although gains and losses are not completely equal, the improvement is amazing enough for short-term enchanting.

It means that Mystery Moon will be freed from the work of charging and maintenance and become a manufacturer of energy.

It means that many places besides the factory can also use stable power.

At the same time, many enchanting abilities that were originally useless will also be reborn because of magification.

Even Agatha and Isabella can get a bunch of experimental products similar to God's Stone, which is of great benefit to further research on magic.

As for the shortcomings of magification, such as extremely long execution time, low efficiency, and the magic cycle being interrupted by God's Stone, the ability itself is not a problem.

Therefore, Roland wants to keep such a witch no matter what.

After thinking about it, he can only try to use sugar-coated bullets.

——After all, in terms of seduction, he has never seen anyone stronger than himself.

The last No. 89, Xi Wan (Fine Wrist), is as her name suggests.

She was originally the daughter of a jeweler. She was born with a talent for carving. Not only are her wrists slender, but her craftsmanship is also very good. She can carve complex patterns on rings. After the ability awakened, this talent has made great progress. Not only has the carving speed increased significantly, but also can be applied to any material.

At first glance, Anna's black fire can also easily do this, but she is a genius who has been advanced twice after all. She belongs to the top high-level witches in the Union and is no longer at the same level as the former.

Roland sees Xi Wan as being able to share Anna's workload, and the precision manufacturing industry never dislikes having too many people. On Sleeping Island, she may only be a top craftsman who polishes exquisite ornaments for nobles, but in Neverwinter City, she can work with other witches to promote the progress of the times.
