The magic crystal in Gar's palm shattered without any surprise.
Actually, Gar felt it wouldn't work as soon as he had carved half of the amplification array. This was just an ordinary magic crystal and couldn't withstand the boost brought by the amplification.
When Gar carved it on, it really instantly couldn't withstand it.
It hadn't even been activated yet.
Gar picked up a piece of the fragment, held it, and placed it under the sunlight.
Through the crystal, the sunlight revealed the shattered patterns inside the crystal, something similar to a magic circle.
Clearly, these crystals were also refined through some kind of array.
However, due to the amplification array, its overall structure was destroyed, and it disintegrated from within.
Gar thought for a moment, then took out a more expensive magic crystal from his backpack.
As his palm emitted a faint glow, magic arrays appeared in his palm.
They were carved into the interior of the magic crystal by Gar.
One time... two...
Crack!
Although it withstood the amplification array of one time, just as the second layer of the amplification array was being carved, the magic crystal still shattered.
Next, Gar took out several more magic crystals, each increasing in value.
However, the limit they could withstand was only a two-time amplification.
Once it exceeded two times, after carving the amplification array, when the magic crystal was activated, the interior of the magic crystal would be unable to withstand this amplified magic power and would directly disintegrate and explode from within.
It was a good thing he did some research.
Otherwise, after carving it on, if the magic crystal exploded inside Laxus's body when he cast Magic in the future, it would be ruined.
After several experiments, Gar also gradually figured out the reason for the failure.
Two reasons.
One is the refining array, and the other is the material of the magic crystal.
There's no need to worry about the material issue at all.
After all, it's a magic crystal refined from the heart of a Thunder Dragon. Gar estimated that even carving a five-time amplification array on it wouldn't damage it.
The main problem lies in the magic crystal refining array.
Unlike element crystals that are formed naturally over hundreds of millions of years.
magic crystals are mainly things that Magicians refine using various materials to imitate element crystals.
The only advantage of this kind of magic crystal over element crystals is that there is a large quantity.
They exist at all levels and are readily available, unlike element crystals which are hard to come by.
Element crystals are formed over tens of thousands of years, their material goes without saying, and the main thing is that there are no arrays inside, which allows Magicians to carve them as they see fit.
However, magic crystals have traces of refining built-in. Once the carved array exceeds the limit of the magic crystal's refining array.
The magic crystal will be unable to maintain its form and will shatter.
The shattered ones in Gar's hand are generally magic crystals used to make staffs for C and B Magicians.
They are all transported from the South Continent.
Because there are more alchemists there, many commonly used Magic tools are sold in the South Continent.
magic crystals are something that is monopolized in this way.
Even if there are higher-level ones, Gar estimated that it's just a difference in material and a slightly more complex array, but the root cause is still the problem with this refining array.
If it were ordinary magic crystals, they could be completely covered with other arrays.
