From a certain standpoint, Rorschach's final choice to become a nature mage was both a coincidence and an inevitability.
It was said to be a coincidence because he had inexplicably entered the path of a Spell Caster in the Titan Domain. There was a certain element of coincidence but other than that, everything else was inevitable.
Mages were the strongest job class in the Aishi world. They would become stronger and stronger as they mastered knowledge and laws. Everyone could see the end of melee and Divine Arts job classes. Even if Rorschach hadn't leveled up, there was a high chance that he would have chosen this path.
And since he had become a mage, it was inevitable that he would choose the path of a nature mage.
His wood spirit bloodline and high affinity with nature explained everything. Other elements would be difficult to control, but controlling the elements of nature would be as easy as breathing. It was actually inevitable that he would choose this path.
However, he still had the opportunity to choose. After all, his ability to create things wasn't limited to wood and plant elements. Steel, earth, stone, elements, and undead all had their own specialized summoning and creating things. And, the steel element was inextricably linked to magic armor. For Rorschach, magic armor was a highly suitable path.
But this time, he finally decided to focus most of his attention on the path of a nature mage.
The reason? It was still the wood spirits.
The wood spirits had opened up their species' knowledge system to him. The Seven Virtues had personally trained him in combat and given him pointers on his path. All of these things were a tremendous amount of wealth that couldn't be redeemed.
And with this wealth, along with his wood spirit bloodline and the Dreamscape, if Rorschach had chosen another path … that would be the equivalent of having the connections of the top 500 companies in the world. He wouldn't even need a few hundred million to start. If he chose to start from scratch with only 2000 RMB, perhaps some people would exclaim that "this person is so terrifying." But even more people would think that he was insane.
And, the wood spirits' knowledge system also saved Rorschach a large amount of time and money. He didn't need to purchase high-level magic knowledge from the Cloud Tower or the Mage Guild. In terms of nature magic, the Mage Country couldn't even compare to the wood spirits, who specialized in it.
But when it came to learning and using it, Rorschach discovered that the Nature Magic of the World of Mages was completely different from the Nature Magic of the Wood Spirits.
"The only thing they have in common is that they all use the power of nature."
Magic was a method of controlling supernatural energy. This was the most precise definition of magic for spellcasters.
The natural magic of the Mage Country was also the natural magic of the human world. Based on this definition, the magic of the human world was actually the same.
With the human as the core, with the soul as the core, with the spirit as the drawing pen, and with magic as the ink, the spell model was woven, and then through the formed spell model, one could control and control the specific elemental power.
Whether this method was good or not … Actually, it was quite good. Otherwise, the mages wouldn't be standing at the top of the world. However, if it wasn't the best method, then that wasn't necessarily the case.
Every single element had its own characteristics. If one used the most suitable method according to their characteristics, then one would obtain the best results with half the effort. This was the so-called elemental affinity.
This was no secret. Spellcasters would often closely study their own elements. For example, undead mages would always make themselves full of negative energy, emitting a ghostly aura, and appearing mysterious. Fire mages had violent personalities and were basically all impatient. Earth mages were mostly staid and usually had the smell of dirt on them.
But no matter how they changed, their elemental affinity would always be incomparable to elemental creatures like fire elemental creatures. Fire elemental creatures were a collection of elemental creatures. Fire elemental creatures could use their own physical bodies with a single thought. They didn't need to use any spell models.
Fire elemental creatures could use their physical bodies to merge with other elements and control the true Elemental Tide. In terms of the amount of elemental energy they could control, nobody could compare to an Elemental Lord.
Humans, or rather, human-like creatures, had no other choice but to use this indirect method to control the elements. After all, their bodies didn't have pure elemental energy.
Alright then, here was the problem. Natural elemental energy was actually the most unique element. Humans had natural elemental energy within their bodies.
The so-called natural elemental energy was actually the power of life. The most basic use of natural elemental energy was to speed up the human body's self-recovery ability. Although the effects weren't as good as Holy Light, there were no side effects. It was only natural that nature mages were often viewed as healers.
Would it be possible to control natural elemental energy using the same method as elemental creatures did? The answer was yes. Not only was it possible, but this was also the largest nature mage group in the mortal plane … the druids.
Compared to other spellcasters, druids were the most special. Their unique transformation magic was something that even spellcasters couldn't understand. That was because it went against far too much of the so-called knowledge and common sense of the magic world.
But it was quite normal to think of it in a different way.
This so-called transformation magic was nothing more than controlling the natural energy within one's body and changing one's own life form. This was the most common use of natural energy.
Most druids were in the form of animals. This was simply because it was easier for them to imitate these animals' life forms. Many novice druids started out by living together with wild beasts.
The nature spirits and wild beast spirits that they worshipped were doubtlessly a type of high-level amalgamation of natural energy. By communicating with them mentally, they could learn to imitate their forms and obtain similar transformation abilities.
High-level druids were even capable of transforming into gigantic treants. That was a complete transformation of their life form.
Druids' method of controlling the power of life was similar to elemental creatures. It was completely different from the main path of mages in the mortal plane. This was also the main reason why most mages didn't view druids as mages.
These were two different paths. There wasn't any difference in superiority. It was just that different paths took different paths. As for whether the end point was the same … Nobody had seen the end point yet, so it was meaningless to talk about superiority. The only difference was whether or not the person walking on the path was suitable for it.
Meanwhile, the wood spirits' method of using the power of nature was actually the same as the druids'. However, compared to the druids' ordinary mortal bodies, the high-level wood spirits' physical bodies were the amalgamation of the forest's power of nature. This amalgamation of the power of nature was incomparable to that of a druid's physical body.
"If the entire forest is my physical body, just how many changes will I cause when I transform my physical body …? All of the wood spirits' nature magic is actually the control, transformation, and extension of their physical body."
