Angel didn’t know much about the mysterious objects Feng possessed, but he speculated that this "mystical pen" would be very suitable for someone like him who specialized in Enchantment Studies.
"Is the pen for engraving magic patterns inside this?" Angel couldn’t help but ask Feng.
Feng raised an eyebrow: "The fact that you could think of this means you’ve seen that Magic Tattoo Horn in White Cloud Village? Heh, your guess is correct in that direction, but do you really think... such a small box can contain a pen?"
Indeed, the box couldn’t contain a pen.
But who knows if this box might be a special spatial artifact? Previously, when Angel saw the oil painting, he hadn’t anticipated that there would be such a vast world within it.
However, since Feng said so, it probably wasn’t a pen.
Then what could it be?
Angel applied a little force with his hand, opening the gap of the box.
As the lid fully opened, the contents inside were revealed to Angel. However, when Angel looked inside, he was completely stunned.
He had speculated earlier that if it wasn’t a pen, it should at least be the nib of an engraving pen, otherwise, how could it create the Magic Tattoo Horn?
But to his surprise, the box was utterly empty... containing nothing.
However, it couldn’t be completely said that the box was empty because there was a magic pattern symbol that Angel was very familiar with on the inner wall of the box.
It was precisely the Magic Tattoo Horn he had seen in the studio in White Cloud Village!
This Magic Tattoo Horn was painted with a dark blue blood ink by someone on the inner wall. And within the entire box, all the mysterious aura emanated from this solitary magic pattern.
Angel carefully checked the interior of the box again and even observed it using his spiritual power perspective, but still found nothing else. Only this solitary magic pattern stood out, asserting its presence.
Could it be... Angel suddenly thought of a certain possibility and looked up at Feng.
"Is this magic pattern the mystical object?"
Feng nodded: "Saying it’s a mystical object is correct, but it’s still too broad. More precisely, it is a mysterious magic pattern."
Mysterious magic pattern? Upon hearing this, Angel seemed to have an epiphany.
He had read Culori’s notes and had some understanding of mystical objects. He knew that mystical objects were not limited to tangible items; some concepts, or even certain energies, could be mystified.
For example, Culori mentioned a kind of mystical object—the Growth Ray, which is an energy-mystified object. Its effect is that those illuminated by the Growth Ray will randomly develop organs within their body.
Similar situations exist with the mystification of potions. Angel once saw a bottle of mysterious potion called "Sage’s Gaze" at Master Midora’s place, and this potion didn’t need to be consumed; just gazing at it could grant a special effect.
So, if rays and potions can be mystified, it makes sense for a magic pattern to become mystical too.
In the countless pan-dimensional planes, there might even be the birth of enigmatic ceremonies or mysterious-level inscriptions. With this thinking, a mysterious magic pattern becomes acceptable.
After his initial confusion, Angel became more excited when he refocused on the mysterious magic pattern.
Being proficient in Enchantment Studies himself, he was eager to discover what changes this mysterious magic pattern could bring to enchantments.
"What effect does this mysterious magic pattern have? How do you use it?" Angel couldn’t help but ask.
"You’ll find out its specific effect when you use it," Feng said, pausing briefly before answering his own question: "You probably know how to engrave magic patterns, right? You must, since the Book of Kael chose this as a reward. It should be most suitable for you."
Angel didn’t deny it and nodded modestly: "I know a bit about enchantments."
"Then try it yourself to discover the effect. As for its use, it’s very simple."
In just a few sentences, Feng summarized the general situation and usage of this mystical object.
The name of this mysterious magic pattern is "Coronation of the Mad Hat." Feng didn’t explain why it was named so.
The usage rules roughly include three points: First, the magic pattern can be transferred onto any object. As long as an object touches the magic pattern, it will move to that object. Second, once the object carrying the magic pattern is infused with energy, the pattern will no longer transfer. Third, the standalone "Coronation of the Mad Hat" pattern does not function; it only works when combined with other magic patterns as a segment of a complete magic pattern.
For example, if an engraving pen touches the magic pattern in the box, the magic pattern will transfer from the box to the pen.
When writing, as long as energy is infused into the engraving pen that carries the magic pattern, the mysterious pattern "Coronation of the Mad Hat" can be engraved onto parchment. At this point, because energy has been infused into the engraving pen, the magic pattern within the pen will not transfer onto the parchment.
After use, if energy is no longer infused, the magic pattern will regain its transferring trait.
Generally, after using the "Coronation of the Mad Hat," Feng returns the magic pattern into the box because when the magic pattern is on another object, it will continuously emit a mysterious aura, and only within this box could the aura be concealed.
After hearing Feng’s explanation, Angel took out a piece of parchment specifically used for engraving magic patterns from his bracelet, preparing to conduct an experiment.
Before engraving, a thought suddenly occurred to Angel: "Will this mysterious magic pattern be consumed?"
Feng shook his head: "No. At least, I have used it many times, and it has never shown signs of consumption."
Upon hearing this, Angel sighed in slight relief. After all, this was a mysterious magic pattern, and if it got depleted after just one use, it would be a significant loss.
Angel took out his engraving pen, contemplating which magic pattern to draw.
This "Coronation of the Mad Hat," as grand as its name sounds, actually represents "Transformation" within the magic tattoo horn.
In other words, as long as the magic pattern has the "Transformation" segment, the "Transformation" can be replaced with "Coronation of the Mad Hat."
"Transformation" is considered a very commonly used magic pattern segment, widely applied. However, Angel couldn’t start by engraving elaborate magic patterns; for experimentation, it was best to start with a simple pattern.
So, which simple magic patterns include the "Transformation" segment?
After pondering for a while, Angel came up with an idea.
