บท 579: The Failed Spell Slot

Benjamin first began to perform an incantation of the Water Ball Spell, but he soon realized that the incantations could not cause the runes to chatter anymore. Even after performing those well-versed incantations, nothing happened.

This...

Benjamin was a little stunned.

He immediately tried the incantations for the Icebreaking Spell and the Pillar of Steam, but they all ended up the same. Neither the fused runes were responsive, nor did ice and water vapor appeared like they did before.

Why was it like that?

Benjamin really could not figure out. While the fused runes endowed him with an all-powerful condition, he was stripped of his ability to cast basic magic. If he used to have three spell slots, then now... He would have been left with none but just a transfiguration skill, which had been set aside for an unknown period of time.

With his condition now, how could he lead a group of mages?
