Might it be that he had transmigrated to a realm of magic? In the wake of a fleeting astonishment, Lynn swiftly regained his composure. After all, he had already traversed, and couldn't even confirm whether he remained within the original universe.

Lynn was naturally very intrigued by magic, a mystical force. The fervent desire to delve into it temporarily eclipsed the fear of being pursued by the Holy See! As an apprentice wizard who had studied for barely over half a year, Karl was cognizant of very little magic, a mere five types. Among them, [Elementary Matter Deconstruction], [Water Condensation], [Mage's Hand] were the most elementary zero-ring magic, although crucial, they held no offensive capability.

The more advanced first-ring magic [Fireball] necessitated the consumption of corresponding magic materials, and as for the other first-ring magic [Frost Blade], Karl had yet to master it. Lynn inclined his head and rummaged through the bag at his waist, extracting his limited possessions one by one. Two red flintstones, three Sika silver coins, over ten copper coins, seven drafts with intricate magic formulas, a yellowed "Element Analysis" and a small bag of ashen powder - this was the casting material [Embers of Red Fire] for [Fireball].

Lynn clutched a small quantity of fine powder, feeling somewhat excited. Karl's memory contained the full steps for casting [Fireball]. First, using [Elementary Matter Deconstruction] to analyze the casting material, and then employing [Mage's Hand] to cause the [Embers of Red Fire] to vibrate at a specific frequency to ignite the magic.

The entire process sounds tedious, but the most time-consuming step of analyzing the casting material can be completed beforehand. As long as one is sufficiently proficient, [Fireball] can be ignited in just a single second... Lynn eagerly desired to experience the supernatural power, yet ultimately restrained himself. This small quantity of [Embers of Red Fire] was worth five Sika silver coins and could only be utilized to cast [Fireball] three times. It must not be squandered recklessly. It would be better to choose a simpler spell for the initial casting. After a moment's contemplation, Lynn chose [Water Condensation] as the target for his first try.

As one of the compulsory zero-ring magic to learn, if [Elementary Matter Deconstruction] is the key to using magic materials, [Mage's Hand] is the best aid for a wizard, then [Water Condensation] is the entrance course for apprentices! Because this basic magic does not require the preparation of casting materials beforehand, or the casting materials can be directly extracted from the elemental world.

Following the method in his memory, Lynn closed his eyes and meditated. Probably because his original body, Karl, gave him a good foundation, in just two or three seconds, he successfully opened the door to the new world! With his eyes closed, Lynn beheld an otherworldly realm of magic. His mental faculties allowed him to perceive the room awash with an abundance of ethereal, luminescent magical elements.

Their number was beyond calculation - billions upon billions, shining like celestial bodies in the inky void of space. Most of these elements were highly animated, constantly shifting and rearranging themselves. The element of greatest quantity was known as "Selu," comprising roughly seventy percent of the whole and deemed by Lynn's mentor, Kelu, as a superfluous ingredient. The spectacle left Lynn awestruck, and it took him a moment to gather himself and focus on the task at hand - harnessing magic.

The process of unleashing the "Water Condensation" was straightforward - simply combine two water-affiliated elements in a two-to-one ratio. The first was relatively common, comprising about twenty to thirty percent of the elemental world, while the second was more elusive and required diligent searching to locate.

Thanks to his longstanding fascination with magic, Karl had already rehearsed these basic spells hundreds of times, leading to a solid foundation. Despite initially struggling to adapt, Lynn quickly mastered the method. The process of casting the spell felt oddly familiar to him.

When Lynn opened his eyes again, a marble-sized water droplet was slowly hovering in the palm of his hands.

"Great, it works!"

Lynn's lips curved in happiness, but his momentary distraction caused the water droplet to dissolve, dripping down the gaps between his fingers. It was like being splashed with a bucket of cold water - Lynn quickly snapped out of his joy at successfully casting the magic.

As a wanted wizard apprentice, he was still being pursued and couldn't afford to be complacent over such a small achievement. Furthermore, a water droplet this size would be completely useless in combat, not even enough to quench the thirst of an enemy. However, he had seen his mentor Kelu use the "Water Condensation" as a prelude to casting the second-ring magic "Mass Frost Blades" on enemies.

As he observe the elemental world, he saw a drifting elemental matter was being strangely absorbed and expelled within him, cycling in perpetuity.

'Did a wizard's body require a constant intake of these magical elements?'

This query suddenly crossed Lynn's mind, and upon further examination, he made a stunning discovery - the phenomenon was clearly caused by his own respiration....

'Hold on a moment... isn't this simply oxygen?'

Lynn was momentarily perplexed and inhaled a lungful of cool air. The tall and enigmatic image of magical elements crumbled in his gaze.

He had not immediately recognized it before as he had not perceived the [elements] directly, but rather sensed them through his spiritual power in a unique manner and exerted magical influence...

Furthermore, the proportion of chemical elements in the air of this world was also slightly different from his former life, so Lynn had not even entertained the thought initially.

But with this hypothesis, the process of capturing elements to create a water flow also gained a fresh interpretation.

What is water? It is an inorganic compound composed of two chemical elements, hydrogen and oxygen!

So he had not been employing magic just now, but rather conducting a chemistry experiment?

Are wizards actually just a group of chemists?
