This demonized organ had been soaking in a special potion for several days. The once bulging blood vessels had disappeared, the ferocious appearance had faded, and even its gaze had become much clearer.
There was a sense of gradual recovery and vibrant vitality.
Roy used his spiritual energy to sense it for a while, then carefully scooped it out of the glass bottle with a small ladle and gently dried it on a towel.
"In the field of alchemy, the processing of demonized organs falls under the domain of Creation Studies. They can be used to craft various accessory-type artifacts or for special purposes like transplantation and embedding.
If the structure and function remain intact, the process isn't particularly difficult, requiring only the skill level of an apprentice.
My Black Iron-tier talent, [Proficient], can be applied to it!
Moreover...
The [Sulfur-Mercury Theory], a Bronze-tier talent, should be utilized for higher-level knowledge and operations!"
Over the past few days, Roy hadn't been idle. He had thoroughly evaluated and analyzed the situation, forming a rough plan.
The Bronze-tier talent, "Corresponding Ability Level +1," was incredibly powerful in practice.
It allowed Roy to break through his own limits in specific areas, granting him operational skills comparable to a first-tier Wizard.
After extensive research and considering his financial situation and other factors, Roy decided to craft something called a "Levitating Magic Orb."
This was an accessory-type artifact that embedded a magic orb within a metal frame, roughly the size of a fist. It could levitate in the air and be controlled remotely through mental will.
Its operation relied on short-range spiritual sensing, allowing it to follow the user, attack or defend as desired, making it a convenient and practical treasure.
The tricky part was that even the simple frame was challenging to craft.
It had to be made from a special magnetic metal, and one had to master the crystallization of the demonized organ or preserve it like a specimen.
However, Roy discovered that among Zabil Magic Metals, a substance called "Magnetic Lead" possessed anti-gravity levitation properties.
This perfectly met the requirements for crafting a Levitating Magic Orb.
As for the crystallization of the demonized organ—transforming the flesh-born eyeball into a gem-like physical structure—Roy couldn't achieve that. Instead, he chose to infuse it with Blood Mercury, relying on the Blood Mercury to accomplish the task.
Both of these key steps were alchemical processes typically reserved for first-tier Wizards, falling precisely within the scope of the [Sulfur-Mercury Theory].
...
In the alchemy laboratory of his residence.
The alchemy table had been equipped with a magnetic Wizardry Energy array.
The circular, dial-like wheel was embedded with a full one hundred and eight Magic Stones.
When the Wizard Array was activated, various strange symbols lit up on the table, and a pre-prepared block of lead floated into the air.
Roy sat before the alchemy table, his eyes closed as he took a brief rest. Suddenly, they snapped open, glowing with a red light.
The ability of a high-level apprentice to materialize spiritual energy was on full display.
The Wizard Array wheel guided the convergence of Wizardry Energy, focusing it like sunlight and injecting powerful force into the special metal.
In no time, the block of lead melted, flattened, and began to take shape under the influence of the liquefaction process.
For an ordinary apprentice, this process would be complex and profound. Many of the techniques for controlling magical energy and guiding spiritual energy were exclusive to full-fledged Wizards and beyond, accessible only at that level.
Under the influence of the bronze-level talent [Sulfur-Mercury Theory], it felt as natural as an eaglet spreading its wings for the first time.
Apart from the initial operations, which were somewhat clumsy, everything that followed flowed smoothly, as if it were second nature.
Such precise operations continued for several hours, leaving Roy thoroughly exhausted.
Then, the black iron-level talent [Alchemy Machine] began to take effect.
[When performing apprentice-level alchemy operations, physical and mental energy consumption is halved]
Originally, this was only supposed to apply to apprentice-level alchemy operations, and the "Magnetic Lead" within Zabil Magic Metal should not have been within its scope.
However, at this moment, Roy was surprised to discover that his understanding had been slightly off.
In reality, while the refining of all metals listed under Zabil Magic Metal was indeed a level-one operation or higher, that classification applied to the "whole" process. Many "parts" of the process were still at the apprentice level, or even ungraded.
For example, identifying and selecting certain materials, preparing the alchemy platform, cleaning the platform, monitoring the heat, and so on—these were tasks anyone could complete.
As long as they had the relevant knowledge and enough focus and patience.
The real difficulty lay in mastering the knowledge and manipulating spiritual and magical energies.
The activation of [Proficient] followed the same logic.
What delighted Roy even more was that, guided by [Sulfur-Mercury Theory], his proficiency in using spiritual energy to guide magical energy had significantly improved.
The process of refining Zabil Magic Metal involved many operational techniques that were typically mastered by first-level Wizards, and these naturally became etched in his mind.
This was a treasure trove of practical experience.

"Next, let's continue processing the eyeball!"
Once the Magnetic Lead stabilized, waiting only for the final energy infusion and transformation, Roy began refining Blood Mercury again. He then took the Thunder Demon Eye and started injecting it.
This was similar to the process of Wizard Body Modification, with the difference being the liquid flowing inside the eyeball, the required energy density, and the charge-discharge indicators for Wizardry Energy.
Fully satisfying the Thunder Demon Eye was no easy task. At this stage, he could only achieve a level of utilization close to that of a Fishman Lord, creating an apprentice-level Arcane Object.
However, this also indicated that it indeed contained extraordinary power that had not yet been fully harnessed.
There would be opportunities in the future to further enhance it, even reaching levels beyond that of a Wizard!
Using the knowledge in his mind, he assembled and integrated it, completing the final steps.
The Levitating Magic Orb was now complete.
...
Not long after, in the training ground.
With a thought, the eyeball embedded in a metal frame floated up, and its metal eyelids blinked, giving it an unusually lively appearance.
Roy issued a follow command through the Arcane Imprint engraved within it, then began running and leaping rapidly across the field.
The eyeball followed effortlessly.
Suddenly, he diverted his focus and issued an attack command.
The eyeball immediately turned toward the wooden target he had mentally locked onto, and a powerful bolt of lightning infused with Wizardry Energy surged forth like a thunderclap, reducing the target to charcoal.
The wooden board instantly carbonized and cracked, scattering charred fragments.
"That must have been at least a 10-degree spell potency!"
Roy stepped forward to inspect it, roughly assessed the damage, and couldn't help but exclaim in genuine surprise.
However, at the same time, he immediately sensed that the Wizardry Energy contained within the eyeball was rapidly diminishing.
Through the resonance of the Arcane Imprint, it seemed as if he could see that a certain component of the Wizard Array inside had dimmed slightly, like a battery indicator dropping by one bar.
