There would inevitably be a link between the Idol Wizards.
Just like Prophet Wizards could interfere with each other by covering up and disguising each other’s predictions, Alteration Wizards could also speed up, interrupt, or reverse each other’s alteration magic chain. Similarly, Idol Wizards could also influence each other.
However, this kind of influence was more metaphysical, affecting each other in the conceptualization of “fate”.
Powerful Idol Wizards would affect Idol Wizards who were weaker than themselves within a specific range, making the targets more and more like themselves in various senses. This was called the “Law of Similarity” of the Idol School.
This rule applied to the Idol Spells. For example, “using a person with the same name as a substitute for another person as the ritual’s target”, which was also the most commonly used spell: “Shadow Substitution.”
Weak Idol Wizards got to borrow the strength of mighty Idol Wizards through this “similarity principle”. In fact, this could also be understood as the essence of “primitive ritual”. The goal was to make oneself similar to the believers of the deities to steal the strength of a Truth — like a priest of the blood elves.
The most potent weapon of the Idol Wizard was the “Idol” made of a true deity, the image of a powerful idol wizard, or a “model figure”.
Yes, the “model figures” of Idol Wizards were like the “pre-conversion agent” of Alteration Wizards.
If the wizards possessed Mr. Ray’s model figure, they could evolve the Idol Spell with a similar effect and domain into Mr. Ray’s divine art.
For example, evolving “Healing Touch” into “Purifying Touch” and evolving “Flash” into “Dazzling Skin” as if they were Mr. Ray’s pious priests.
If they replace the statue they possessed with “the Pale Princess” through a simple Ritual Spell, they could change the “Touch of Healing” into the “Phantom Touch”. Similarly, the spell could also be altered into the “Toxic Touch”.
The Melvin Family, from which “Professor Wolf” was born, was a wizard family proficient in the “Law of Similarity”.
They made “children of deity” and “grant them divinity.” In this way, the advancement conditions of “the Divine of the World” were achieved.
In addition, Idol School also had a core rule called “Contamination Law”.
It could also be understood as the divergence of Idol School.
Like in the Soul Snatch school, there were two subschools between controlling the mind and the soul.
The so-called “law of contamination” meant that the fate of Idol Wizards would tend to be close to each other. Weak Idol Wizards would be attracted to powerful Idol Wizards subconsciously.
Once the weak Idol Wizard came into contact with the spell-casting traces of the powerful Idol Wizards or even just participated in related events, the fate of both parties would be disturbed accordingly.
—The point was that both parties were affected.
In other words, the weaker party could also influence the stronger party.
Even if it was indirect contact, it could also be said that two people were “contaminated”.
For example, there was an Idol Wizard with the power of “worship” who once helped a village resist a flood and gained their worship through it, having the villagers worship him as a deity. Generally, at this time, they would have a makeup deity name. For example, some names like the “Deity of Drought and Flood” and the “Peace Elder” made the villagers think he was a deity who had passed by.
Then, this temple could continuously provide him with strength.
However, if another idol wizard with the “power of fear” came and carried out evil deeds here, stirring up mountain torrents and causing earthquakes, people would be terrified of him. Then, this power of fear would also be transmitted to the previous Idol Wizard because of the “contamination” between the two, thus weakening his power.
The mana pool of the Idol Wizard was similar to a pie chart.
Whether it was “wish”, “worship”, or “fear”, it would occupy a part of Order Mana. The Idol Spells above Silver Rank need to use a specific power to cast it.
If the first idol wizard did not happen to use the “power of fear” to cast related spells, then this power of fear would be stored in his mana pool, unable to consume it. If other mana were used, the power of fear would accumulate further as the mana recovered.
It was like being stuffed with many useless cards in the deck, polluting the card deck.
Nefertari’s teacher, “Bone Healer” Seti, was an Idol Wizard proficient in “contamination law”.
He could even use the student’s tokens to heal or strengthen them remotely at Bone Farm. If his student were severely injured, the token would also be broken. Of course, Seti could also curse or directly kill the other party through the things his student had touched. It was just that he did not have to.
At this stage, Ghirlandaio arrived in Cinder Barren, following Nefertari to search for the nightmare of the legendary mercenary “Shield of Unfallen” Justus.
From this point of view, things had become the confrontation between the two branches of “Similarity” and “Contamination” in the Idol School.
Thus, it had become dangerous for Nefertari to come here.
However, only Nefertari was aware of this.
She did not tell Ghirlandaio about it.
A powerful Idol Wizard could even make his destiny form a cycle, contaminating other people in the future. This was the combined effect of similarity and contamination.
Just like Bone Healer’s original intention changed, his students would also fall into the same fate as him.
When Frederick Melvin and his friend “Shield of Unfallen” Justice came to Cinder Barren, Justice died.
And now, Ghirlandaio and Nefertari also came to this place.
That was why Nefertari did her best to stop Nieusel from coming.
Same place with the exact headcount…
If Frederick had come here to investigate something, their goal would have been the same.
If even the gender proportion was similar, then the fate of the past and the possibility of repeating it were high.
That was to say, the fate of “one of them murdering the other” might reappear here.
Once Ghirlandaio knew about it, he would succumb to the Law of Contamination. Although “Professor Wolf” Frederick was not good at the law of contamination, he was not completely ignorant about it.
If he worked on it personally, it might cause Ghirlandaio to fall into the “law of similarity”, repeating the fate of the past.
Of course, when Nefertari first met Ghirlandaio, she also used Idol’s detection method. However, the effect slipped away on Ghirlandaio.
Now she knew that Ghirlandaio was not an Idol Wizard, then this showed that a powerful Idol Wizard was protecting him.
However, her teacher was already the strongest Idol Wizard.
Could it be the Man in the Mirror?
If Ghirlandaio represents “the Man in the Mirror”, does it mean that there are three Gold Rank Idol Wizards whose fates are intertwined?
Nefertari had a heavy heart.
On the other side, the old man wearing a strange cloak and holding a mirror also stepped out of the Cinder Barren subway.
He took off his cloak.
In the somewhat aged pupils, there were reflective silver pupils like mirrors.
