Level 0 Spells

On the terrace at the top of the old castle, the black bear crouching lazily in the sun suddenly lifted its head and stared around vigilantly, its eyes wide open.

Raymond was lying on a recliner with his eyes closed, resting. The creaking recliner rocked slowly.

Omily, who came in from the door carrying a fruit tray, saw the black bear's strange look and couldn't help giggling behind her hand.

Omily gently placed the fruit tray on the small table next to Raymond and walked over to the black bear. She picked up the hairbrush hanging on the terrace and sat on the stool to comb the mane on the black bear's back. Her long golden hair gleamed charmingly in the sunlight.

The black bear closed its eyes again and lay down with a satisfied hum. Under Omily's grooming, the lazy black bear was no different from a lazy pig.

But soon the black bear, crouching on the floor, let out a mournful howl. It leapt up quickly, covering its belly with both front paws.

After seeing the whole room clearly with a frightened look, the black bear uttered a roar and leapt off the terrace, landing heavily on the lawn below. With frightened howls, it rushed into the back garden of the old castle.

Startled by the black bear's sudden behavior, Omily turned pale. Clutching the hairbrush, she leaned over the terrace railing and watched as the black bear disappeared from sight before turning to look at Raymond in the room.

The recliner kept creaking and rocking slowly.

Raymond, with no expression on his face, was not awakened by the black bear's roar.

Omily tilted her head, puzzled. But a moment later, she suddenly covered her chest with her hands, her face terrified, and uttered a shriek.

Staring at the motionless Raymond lying in the recliner, Omily's expression turned suspicious. Just as she was about to leave the terrace, Omily's face suddenly turned red. Her snow-white delicate hands quickly covered her plump buttocks.

Unable to hold back any longer, Raymond, hiding his right hand behind him, suddenly pinched. Omily, standing on the terrace, stiffened, then uttered a charming grunt. Covering her face, she ran out of the room swiftly.

Prank succeeded!

Laughter came from the room immediately after. Opening his eyes, Raymond's face was full of joy.

Withdrawing his right hand from behind him, Raymond looked at it and muttered in his mind, "It doesn't seem particularly plump, but the skin is soft and delicate, the muscles are firm and quite elastic..."

Smiling, Raymond dismissed the romantic thoughts in his mind and concentrated. He had the chip display the data it had collected.

Wizard's Touch (Basic) - Spell Level 0

Casting Conditions: Spirit > 1

Consumption: 1 Mana

Effect: Form an external virtual tentacle to touch any material as if touching directly with the body.

Casting Distance: Within 3 meters

Casting Time: Within 15 seconds (casting fails if time limit is exceeded)

Disadvantage: The tentacle touches like the body itself. The body has complete touch sensation and perceives all sensations that should arise from touching the material. There is a high chance of failure when casting on moving objects.

Level 0 spells mean that this spell is just one of the basic spells that can be mastered at the apprentice level. Wizards divide existing practical spells into several levels based on the consumption, power, range, difficulty, and other factors required for the spells. Level 0 is just the most basic minor spell.

Raymond got up from the recliner and walked onto the terrace. The warm sun shone down, still somewhat hot.

After returning from the basement last night, two more spells were added to Raymond's mind, given by the light ball Hailim had condensed.

For Raymond, who had never systematically learned wizardry spells, the two spells Hailim gave him were like manna from heaven.

After having the chip receive and store all the data from the light ball, it took Raymond half a day to organize it. Not until this morning did Raymond anxiously wait for the good news from the chip.

As Hailim said, there were no discounts in that light ball. It contained two spells that wizard apprentices could master.

One was level 0, which only required reaching level 1 wizard apprentice to master.

The other was level 1, requiring reaching level 2 apprentice to successfully cast.

For Raymond, who had only grasped eighteen symbols so far and had just barely reached the threshold of a level 2 apprentice, he could only learn this level 0 spell for now.

This simple level 0 spell was called Wizard's Touch.

After the experiment just now, Raymond not only verified the magic of this spell in practice but also allowed the chip to successfully digitize Raymond's newly manifested abilities.

"Raymond: Strength 0.9, Agility 0.6, Stamina 0.8, Spirit 1.7, Mana 3.2. Genes: Improving. Physical condition: Healthy."

After checking the chip's data, according to the digitized mana value given by the chip, Raymond could only cast Wizard's Touch three times.

Fortunately, as long as the target of such a spell was not changed, it would only consume a little mana within a few minutes. So Raymond, who had pretended to be asleep with his eyes closed just now, could successfully cast Wizard's Touch almost like a sneak attack without arousing the black bear's and Omily's attention.

However, under the chip's monitoring, the greatest use of this spell was that it could explore the touched object instead of the body.

But the strength of this spell was only one-tenth of the caster's. When Raymond used Wizard's Touch to touch Omily just now, it felt completely the same as touching Omily directly with his hands in Raymond's sense.

Especially when he used Wizard's Touch to pinch Omily's plump buttocks at the end, the slippery skin and the tightness of the buttock muscles amazed Raymond at the magic of this spell.

Suppressing the slightly rippling mind, Raymond regretted that the second spell Hailim gave could only be stored in the chip database for now because the casting conditions required him to reach level 2 apprentice. So Raymond could not know what this spell was or what effect it would have.

The non-offensive Wizard's Touch let Raymond know that the two spells Hailim gave him should be fine. Whenever he thought that he would have his first offensive spell in the future, Raymond's mood became excited.

Moreover, by mastering this level 0 Wizard's Touch, the chip finally succeeded in digitizing his spirit and mana.

The advantages of such digitization had not yet been shown, but in the future, the chip could monitor the effects of meditation for a long time and collect relevant data, which would also allow Raymond's strength to grow in a more targeted manner.
