Chapter 4415: Higher Tiers of Magic (Part 1)

"We’ve always considered Spirit Magic the sixth tier of magic and Blade Magic the seventh." Solus said. "Is Void Magic so powerful when applied to Dread Magic that it deserves the same ranking?"

"This is the first time I’ve heard about this classification, Solus." The Maiden replied. "My answer is yes and no. Yes, Void Magic holds great potential. Switching between two Cursed Elements in battle can deal great damage and bypass many protections.

"Moreover, according to your own definition, Spirit Magic is tier six and is required to apply Void Magic to Dread Magic, so it should have the same rank.

"For the same reason, if you conjure a Dread Magic spell with two Cursed elements and you can switch them both, it has higher destructive potential and deserves a higher tier as well."

"No, they are not on the same level. What Dread Magic gains in raw strength, it loses in versatility. This is especially true when you compare Spirit Magic with Dread Void Magic.

"Spirit Magic can do everything all other spells can do. Attack, defense, and even dimensional magic. It’s a branch of magic in a league of its own with no weak points nor limits. It’s what makes white cores like me nigh-omnipotent.

"We produce enormous quantities of pure mana that Spirit Magic allows us to shape however we want and cast even complex Gravity Spells that would otherwise exceed our dimensional awareness.

"Dread Void Magic is indeed more powerful than elemental and Dread tier five magic, but it can only destroy. Maybe, once we get good enough with it, we’ll also be able to shape it into barriers, but always of the destructive kind.

"You can’t use them to protect the weak, trap your enemies, or build something. So no, Dread Void Magic isn’t at the same level as Spirit Magic. Switching two Cursed elements at the same time would be much more powerful and deserve an upper tier, but only compared to tier six Void Dread Magic.

"We’d call it tier seven to distinguish the two, but it would still be below pure Spirit Magic in terms of versatility, let alone Blade Magic."

"What if I managed to cast a Tower Tier Dread Magic spell that uses three Cursed elements and their counterpart scattered elements?" Lith asked. "Once I apply Void and Spirit Magic, I would obtain a flow of mana where all elements have been replaced by their Cursed version.

"How powerful would that be?"

"Honestly, I don’t know if that would be even possible." Baba Yaga shrugged. "Once you remove the elements in the Spirit Magic, you also remove the buffer area that kept your Dread Void spell stable.

"Cursed elements are volatile and react violently to each other. I don’t think a spark of your life force would be enough to isolate all six of them. I’m not saying that’s impossible, just that it would be incredibly dangerous."

"Life force?" Solus echoed. "That’s how you had the idea to use Spirit Magic to convert a Cursed element into its opposite. You treated them like your Void Flames."

"You got that right." Lith nodded. "When I conjure my Void Flames, I don’t just inject a spark of Chaos into my Origin Flames. It would upset the balance in the world energy, and the resulting Flames would explode in my throat.

"What I do is coat the elements of the world energy with my human life force so that when the spark of Chaos replaces the darkness element, it cannot reach the light element and stable Void Flames are born.

"I applied the same principle to Dread Magic, but since I can’t inject a spark of my life force into a Cursed element without it getting destroyed, I used Spirit Magic because it already contains a spark of my life force."
