[Eye of the Ice Gnome]

-Grade: Green

-Quality: N/A

-Skill: Body Enchantment

The eyes absorb the surrounding air and convert it to ice-type mana before freezing and storing it, effectively increasing the user\'s mana by 200.

\'\'Ice Gnomes are very rare mobs. I\'m surprised you discovered a body enchantment associated with them.\'\' The man said, closing the box.

\'\'That\'s great to hear, but no matter how rare, I don\'t think there\'s no downside,\'\' Raydon said.

\'\'That is correct. However, the disadvantage is related to the advantage, so let me start with the advantage. It has a really unique advantage actually. \'\' The man smiled and waited for Raydon\'s reaction. He was obviously making fun of him and attempting to raise his curiosity.

However, Raydon merely waited for the man without saying anything, appearing to be completely uninterested. The only problem was that Raydon had already read about all of its features in one of Herman\'s books. He asked the man now because he wanted to compare it to determine how accurate the information was in the book.

\'\'Tch, you\'re not funny.\'\' When he didn\'t get the reaction he was hoping for from Raydon, the man grimaced and began to explain.

\'\'Okay, gnomes are creatures that typically adjust to the conditions of their environment. Therefore, don\'t be fooled by its name, Ice Gnome. If you drop an ice gnome near a volcano, it will eventually turn into a fire gnome. \'\' The man paused again, waiting to see Raydon\'s surprised expression, but when he didn\'t get what he was expecting, he continued with an annoyed tone.

\'\'This characteristic of theirs also transfers to the body enchantments made from them. If you used a body enchantment of another type before, it will also transform from ice to take on that body enchantment\'s element type. \'\' Looking at Raydon with interest, the man said.

When Raydon last visited, the man could tell from his altered appearance that he was using a new body enchantment, but he was unable to determine what kind of one.

Looking at Raydon\'s unresponsive demeanor, the man continued, realizing that he would not learn anything about the body enchantment he used.

\'\'As a result, the eyes you acquire will store the mana they have accumulated by converting to this type. If the types of mana and skill are the same, the skill\'s power will increase at least twice. Normally, body enchantments that grant mana an element are difficult to come by. That\'s why this body enchantment is pretty rare. If you try to sell it, it will most likely be worth more than 30,000 gold coins. \'\'

Raydon had read about the specifics of this body enchantment in the book but had no idea about the price, so when he heard about it, he became even more excited.

He also posed another question for which there is no answer in the book. \'\'What if the person using it has previously used body enchantment with more than one element? Which type will these gnome eyes acquire? \'\'

Raydon suspected that the previous Ashen Heart he used was of the fire and death type, so he asked this question.

When the man heard the question, he took a moment to consider his response while taking a look at the copper chest. \'\'Hmm…As far as I know, they mostly have one type, but occasionally two types can be combined. I\'m not referring to the fire and water combination. If you have previously used earth and plant-type body enchantments, which are more interrelated, it is possible that it will turn into a type that contains both elements. \'\'

Raydon got exactly what he wanted with this answer. Even if the chances were slim, if he could generate mana of the fire and death types, he could start choosing his future items based on these two types. The fact that skills that used the same type of mana as themselves were typically 2 times stronger was extremely advantageous.

\'\'This is also where the side effects arise.\'\' The man drew Raydon\'s attention away from his thoughts and continued speaking.

\'\'First and foremost, because this is only a green-grade item, the amount of mana it will provide you with is 200, and it will only store 200 mana of a specific type. So, if you use this 200 mana in a battle, you will have to start using your own mana, which has no type, until it regenerates. It regenerates at the same rate as your normal mana regeneration. \'\'

Raydon already knew that, and to be honest, it didn\'t really matter to him. Since his spirit stat was 1, he only had 10 mana anyway.

\'\'In fact, this is not its primary disadvantage. The main disadvantage is that if you use this mana with an opposite type of skill, the power of that skill will be halved. You might not even be able to use the skill at all.\'\' The man stated solemnly.

This was actually viewed as a major disadvantage. It would be impossible for someone to cast a fire-type skill with ice-type mana created by this body enchantment. In other words, the user of this body enchantment was limited to choosing items associated with particular elements.

\'\'Okay thank you for the help. \'\' Raydon took the chest back, placed it in his dimensional storage, and said. He hadn\'t decided whether to use it yet, but it was a very useful item, so he would keep it with him for the time being.

\'\'It looks like you like this body enchantment. However, before using it, ensure that you have the correct type of element. It will influence your future item selection.\'\' The man gave advice.

It would be extremely detrimental to Raydon\'s development if he used this body enchantment and then decided to use a skill set with the opposite element. After all, separating a body enchantment from the body was a difficult task.

\'\'All right, thanks for the advice.\'\' Raydon expressed his heartfelt gratitude. The man\'s assistance and advice to Raydon demonstrated his genuine concern for him.

Raydon received a smile and a nod from the man. While he assumed Raydon had shown all of his items and was about to leave, he was surprised by the next thing he took out.

\'\'Can you tell me what this is? \'\'
