“Is it about the energy sword cards?” hearing my question on fated ingredients Agatha immediately knew what was troubling me.
“Yes,” I nodded.
“If the fate ingredient of a person is used in the creation of cards other than the origin card for the fated card apprentice the resulting card will become the fate card unless the card creation fails. Then the fate ingredient is lost.
Fated ingredients never appear as cards, they are named fated ingredients for a reason, they always appear in ingredient form. Since this card apprentice’s fate ingredient is already a card then it means their original fated ingredient was used to create this card. So if you are hundred percent sure about the card creation then go ahead and modify it. But remember the new card will become the fated ingredient. So unless you are willing to part with the newly created card I advise you not to use it because I personally think keeping a fated ingredient from its fated card apprentices is cruel. But it is not my choice to make so what do I know,” Agatha explained that the fate ingredient doesn’t really get affected in any way if used in the creation of a card other than the origin card for the fated card apprentice. And she personally felt that I should not modify it and give it to its fated card apprentice.
Hearing Agatha’s explanation I was relieved and despite her opinion, I decided to go ahead and modify the energy sword cards as my use for the cards will be over once I am done with the Circle’s sun blossom branch, and as long as the newly enhanced and modified energy sword card’s fated card apprentice was willing to pay the appropriate price I had no qualms with selling it to them.
When my ethical dilemma was over a technical problem propped up, the card creation page did not have enough slots to house all eight of the energy cards at once. So I had to get creative. First I placed two energy cards on the grimoire card creation page, then I simultaneously morphed them into their core form and later I transferred the soul pathway of one of the energy swords from its core to another. Then I stored away the empty core in a storage card and continued to repeat the whole process with the remaining six cards.
Once the soul pathways of all eight energy cards were in a single core, now I could begin with the modification process. The modification that I had planned was that would increase the output of the cards. The energy cards were C-rank cards despite their power the lethalness to card lords was weak. So I had to increase its output in turn increasing its rank.
For that, I would have to replace the energy cores in the energy swords that acted as a conductor of soul power between the card apprentice and the energy sword.
The energy cores in the energy card were of C-rank and if I were to replace them with A-rank energy cores then the modification would work only if I strengthened the soul pathways of the remaining apparatus of the energy sword to withstand the load output given by the A-rank energy core. This was an important step that I could not skip, as the remaining body of the energy sword was made to handle the load of a C-rank energy core so ignorantly modifying the energy sword card by replacing its energy core with higher grade energy would only lead to the failure in card creation or creation of a faulty energy sword card. A faulty energy sword card meant that the energy swords would explode whenever the soul energy load increased more than what the apparatus of the energy sword can handle. This meant that it will lose its durability faster than before.
Now I need 8 A-rank energy cores and 8000 wooden wisps essences and cores to modify the 8 energy card soul pathways inside the common core. Having figured out what I needed I ordered Cheng to bring them to me but sadly, the card creationist association of the sun blossom city did not have A-rank energy cores. This meant I would have to devise an alternative for the A-rank energy core.
Unable to think of an appropriate alternative for the A-rank energy core that would be easily available in a third-rate city like the sun blossom city, I decided to make them myself by making use of A-rank monster cores.
Just when I was about to order Cheng to fetch me 8 A-rank monster cores, I remembered I had a better alternative for the A-rank energy core with me all this time, my calamity daughter gems. Yeah, If I could refine them then I could use them as replacements for A-rank Energy cores for the modification of the energy swords.
The calamity daughter gems were not a replacement for A-rank energy core they were better than them. As the calamity daughter gems were modified versions of Ego gems, and Ego gems were inherently better than Monster cores which were used to create the energy cores.
Not only did the calamity daughter gems make better replacements as conductors of soul energy between the card apprentice and energy sword but they also had other advantages that could easily turn the Energy sword card I was planning to create the strongest sword card in A-rank cards I had seen so far.
Why would I make such a bold claim? It was because the advantage of using the calamity daughter gem as conductors of soul energy between the card apprentice and energy sword was that they could not only conduct soul energy but rule power as well.
That meant that I could wield an energy word made entirely of rule power that I had comprehended in my ego gem. Be it wind rule, Fire rule, or any other rule, if you own it you could use it to create an energy sword.
