Chapter 199
Alice continued staring at her new Perk for far, far longer than she should have, before she shook herself out of her thoughts. She had one more new Perk to pick, and two Perks to activate. Then… it was time to take her new Perk out for a spin, and see if she could finally make a [Fisherman] Class seed that worked as it was supposed to.
When Alice opened up the options for [Careful Enchanter], there were only three choices. The first Perk improved the precision of her mana control, with a larger boost while enchanting. It didn’t really appeal to her much. At this point, Alice wasn’t as focused on actual enchantments as she was pure mana constructs, and she didn’t think the precision of her mana control was the problem there. She was missing something fundamental to the process, and no amount of mana precision would help her fix that right now. Besides, Alice just didn’t think that this Perk was strong enough to merit being a level 45 Perk. There had to be better options. Thus, this Perk was discarded without much thought.
The other two Perks were much more interesting.
The first Perk would give her the ability to modify enchantments she made without redoing everything.
Construct Modification
Requirements: Careful Enchanter level 45 or higher, interaction with a mana construct, creation of a partially finished mana construct, Rarity 10 Achievement
Allows you to modify and manipulate already-created enchantments, especially enchantments made of mana. Works best on things that you created.
At first, Alice wasn’t entirely sure why she would want this Perk. After all, she could already ‘modify’ enchantments, at least to some extent. Sure, modifying an enchantment that already existed wasn’t easy… but it wasn’t impossible. Not to mention, even if she made an enchantment and it didn’t work, her usual go-to method for solving problems was just to start over. It was usually easier to examine a failed enchantment, figure out where she went wrong, and then start a new copy from scratch.
Then, Alice realized that this Perk was far more practical than she was giving it credit for.
