The hard part hadnāt been getting the crystal itself. He already knew where a decently sized quartz boulder was from making the resistance amulets out of it, and breaking off a chunk hadnāt been too terrible, even if it took a while.No, the hard part was when he got back to Fonteshās home, sitting outside by a fire, slowly chipping away at it as he tried to make a perfect sphere, using one of his minds to learn how to craft the enchantment while forcing the others to devote themselves to making sure the crystal was made correctly the first time. His entire body ached slightly, but he wouldnāt forgive himself if he put it off to rest and ended up missing out on some job experience.
Even though the quests rewarding him with it were far less exciting than getting a level to a skill, he didnāt want to undervalue the benefits permanent growth bonuses provided, and the more he could get, the faster he could potentially grow, which meant he wouldnāt be putting it off if he could help it.
He stared into the crystal, feeling it was as round as heād be able to get it with the tools on hand and began polishing it to make it shine.
He tuned the rest of the world out and focused on creating the enchantment. He had a perfect image of how it was supposed to look in his mind, and since it was made from pure mana he was on the same playing field as every other enchanter for once, his almost non-existent affinities doing nothing to hold him back.
It wasnāt set up like any other enchantment heād made in the past, but that was part of what made it interesting, and left him wanting to dissect the entire thing to try and learn its secrets, but that could wait for another day. He created nodes of mana throughout the crystal, connecting them with the thinnest of threads as he went. He was sure heād be able to make a much smaller version of the enchantment if he were to do it again, the only issue being it would need a better quality crystal than the common quartz to keep it from breaking, but that was another issue for another day. It was complete, yet felt strangely familiar.
He did as his god requested, feeling that if it was important it would come to him later and let all of his options fill his mind.

He sighed, thatās what heād been worried about. Neither he nor his god were exceptionally dumb, the job had appeared after his little organ transplant had resulted in a new passive skill, one that it was unlikely anyone else in the world possessed. Seeing how the brand new skill resulted in a brand new job, he couldnāt help but be a little curious as to how things would change if he took it. Jobs were meant to help a skill grow after all, but his was a skill without level, how exactly did that grow?
Even though Myriad knew Ben wouldnāt take it, he still warned him off.
His silence was deafening and Ben could tell his god wasnāt going for it as he put aside the issue for the time being. It wasnāt the one he wanted anyway, even if he would be willing to take it in the future to increase his overall survival.
It sounded like it would be linked to either crafting or enchantment, maybe both, but heād looked into the jobs he could get along those two paths before and heād never heard of it.
That made sense. When heād taken the time to read up on his potential jobs, heād basically just skipped over anything with magic as a prerequisite, but that left him with a bit of a dilemma.
Ordinarily, enchanting would be considered pretty closely linked to magic jobs since that was the main way of using it. It was more or less expected that a person would go through the apprentice mage path, completing the job and improving both their magic and enchanting at the same time before gaining access to the enchanter job at the second level. Likewise, it was expected that an enchanter would move back to mage jobs and jobs that acted as hybrids of the two before they unlocked high enchanter at the seventh, if they ever made it that far.
While craftsman jobs gained experience through enchanting and presumably bonuses to the skill as well, his options there were incredibly limited. Crafting path jobs gained most of their experience from pursuing the path they were related to, meaning he couldnāt count on them for enchanting experience, while the other option of holy craftsman he couldnāt be sure about. There was a chance it would give bonuses to his enchanting, but it was possible it would only be in specific situations such as creating job crystals.
Heād promised to help Thera, but he could justify ignoring those to focus on something else for a little bit because he believed the attempt had potential and he wouldnāt be able to benefit his enchanting anyway, but now he had a proper enchanting option available to him. Should he really leave it for later, even if he was sure it wouldnāt be too long?
Myriad thought he heard something absolutely absurd pass through the mind of his apostle, but before he could question him on it heād made his choice.

As exciting as it was to finally acquire a job that not only gave him a skill level but also a brand new skill, he was reeling from the immediate change he felt to his mind. It was like his brain had immediately strengthened, changed almost to the same scale as when he leveled up complex mind.
