Ryen nodded without hesitation.

"Witchcraft's complexity and variety far surpass the elemental magic you've mastered so far!"

"And for you, what's even more important is that…"

"Casting witchcraft doesn't require your Vision. As long as you're holding the staff, you can cast spells through it."

"The magic power consumed will also be drawn from the staff itself!"

"Remember I said this was a master-level staff?"

Everyone nodded. After all, the Skeleton Druid they had faced earlier was so powerful—naturally they paid special attention to such matters.

Ryen spoke softly:

"As long as I'm holding this master-level staff, then I am a master-level sorcerer."

"!!!"

Everyone was stunned.

After a long pause, Rosalyne asked in disbelief:

"A single weapon can make someone a powerful sorcerer—without them having to learn it themselves?"

"Hard to wrap your head around, isn't it? But that's the unique feature of this world."

Ryen shook his head slightly and explained:

"The Electroblob's Wizardry is a unique add-on bound to our Twilight Forest."

"It comes from the Electroblob's Wizardry mod. In that mod, staves have four tiers—meaning sorcerers also have four ranks."

"Novice, Apprentice, Advanced, and Master."

"These four tiers of staves correspond to four levels of witchcraft."

"The Black Hole we saw earlier was a master-level spell."

Everyone exchanged glances, recalling the terrifying display when the Skeleton Druid had unleashed that spell—

Forcefully pulling in all nearby life and inflicting constant damage.

In every sense, it was frighteningly overpowered.

Though… the name really was quite bizarre.

"The staff I'm holding now is a Lightning-attribute master-level staff, the Rod of Thunder. Its ability is to increase lightning power by sixty percent."

At that, Lisa's eyes lit up immediately.

Sixty percent lightning enhancement…

Even the divine-artifact-grade catalysts in Teyvat didn't offer such an outrageous bonus.

If she held this staff, her combat power would at least double.

She took another close look at it—the top and bottom were inlaid with unfamiliar gemstones.

The shaft was straight, inscribed with flowing, mysterious runes, exuding both elegance and mystery.

Simply put, it perfectly matched Lisa's aesthetic.

In her mind, a mage should be holding a staff, standing at a distance, and elegantly combining spells into devastating attacks.

What's more…

Using this staff to cast witchcraft didn't require her elemental power at all—only the magic stored in the staff itself.

And judging by that Druid earlier, the Lightning Staff could not only cast lightning spells but also other types of witchcraft.

So while it was called a Lightning-attribute staff, it could just as well be called a customizable elemental-attack staff.

Lisa raised an eyebrow and sidled up to Ryen with a smile.

"This staff…"

"No way! I'm keeping it for myself!"

Ryen refused her flatly, then pouted:

"This staff is already top-tier, and it's been magically reinforced twice. Its magic recovery rate is also very fast."

"Not to mention, the five default witchcraft spells it comes with are already well-balanced."

Lisa gave Ryen a long, resentful stare.

"You don't even have a Vision of lightning…"

"That's why I've always been longing to have elemental power!"

Ryen grinned at Lisa and handed the staff over to her.

"You can borrow it to take a look."

Lisa didn't bother being polite—she took the staff directly.

Even though her Vision's elemental power was still heavily suppressed, the moment the staff touched her hands, she felt her lightning power surge dramatically.

Her eyes sparkled with affection as she admired the staff, secretly wondering if she should offer a little charm to persuade Ryen to let her keep it.

After all, if the other party was Ryen, she wouldn't consider it a loss.

"What a powerful staff… And what about that ring?"

Ningguang cast Lisa a knowing glance before fixing her gaze on the ring in Ryen's hand.

At the mention of it, Ryen's smile grew even wider.

"That's why I said that Druid came just to deliver gifts to me!"

"This ring is called the Enchanted Eye. Its ability is to greatly enhance the power of the Explosive Fireball—it's an epic-grade accessory!"

Hearing this new term, everyone's curiosity was piqued again.

"Epic?"

"That's right. Just as staves have tiers, magical accessories are also ranked."

Ryen fiddled with the ring, slipping it onto his finger as he chuckled:

"In general, each accessory boosts the power of a specific spell."

"The ranking for accessories goes: Rare, Precious, and Epic—so Epic is the highest tier."

"Of course, that doesn't mean Epic accessories are always better. It's best to wear accessories that boost the witchcraft you actually use most often."

"For example, the Iron Hide Amulet—although it's only Precious-grade—when I wear it and cast the Black Hole, it blocks all ranged damage."

"Its effect is even stronger than some Epics."
