Chapter 3
Each type of wizard had their own t.i.tles, for example, Elemental types can summon different types of elements and element based creatures. Runesmiths and make protections runes and offensive runes, as well as traps that can even stop dragons or create barriers and so on The t.i.tles, tell what type and what they are proficient at.
Though all beings have a talent for all elements it just that they have an affinity for ones than other. Like if a fire-based warlock tried to use water-based magic it takes double the mana and it would be a waste to use.
Edwins t.i.tle was following the dark arts in other words
Necromancy was one of the most mysterious types of magic that existed in his world. Not many dabbled in the dark arts of Necromancy so it was unpopular route because the conditions just to be one was rare and even harder to master.
Though the power was well worth it. The abilities acquired were dark and powerful. Such as instantly healing by absorbing souls to heal life-threatening wounds and refill mana, reanimate corpses stronger than when they were alive to fight for you, firing twisted flames that leave not even the soul, and so on.
Though the most important two aspects are that ascending the stages of magic is a breeze for necromancers, all they had to do is kill and absorb souls.
While others warlock and witches had to get rare potions and materials which is difficult and could even lose one's life in the process. The second was mana recovery which allowed Edwin to recover mana in seconds. This also allows him to use all the other magic he is not talented at such as fire or summoning magic and so on. Which got him to be the strongest warlock in his world.
In the past, he was at stage 11 warlock the pinnacle if not for the betrayal of his so-called friends he would not have been killed so easily. Each stage had three levels to it low, mid, and peak.
Each stage had its own benefits and importance like stage one allowed the user to have mana flow throughout the body which strengthens the body to superhuman levels and being able to use some simple basic magics such as "mind manipulation","elemental casting", and also summoning low leveled creatures and so on.
This explains how he swiftly took down the thugs as if they infants. It helps that he has past fighting experiences in which he trained in many forms of combat magic related or not.
He now used the basic spell " healing touch" to revive the leader to get info from him. He used the spell as the dark enchanting light entered the leader's body fixing any damage. A couple seconds later the leader's eyes opened and he shot up confused for a moment then looked at the ground where there were four corpses as he looked he noticed they were his comrades. Before he could utter a word a voice broke the silence " Had a good night's sleep?" the eerie voice asked behind him.
