Arthur spent the next few hours practising with his skill. While he didn’t see any more level-ups in that time, his control over his soul constructs grew significantly. It wasn’t anywhere close to the level it needed to be to replicate Roger’s prosthetic, but he’d found some small success in copying a simple limb schematic he’d found on the System store. The design was crude, with the kinds of mechanics he’d expect were popular on Earth in the eighteen hundreds. It consisted of only two moving parts, one for the thumb and the other for his four remaining fingers. That didn’t seem like much, but it allowed the prosthetic to at least grab things, though it would struggle with anything smaller than a teacup.Creating the construct out of his soul meant he could manipulate it without hiring a talented biomancer or healer to integrate it with his flesh, and manipulating the small cogs responsible for the prosthetic's movement was significantly cheaper than manually operating the full thing. Once he was advanced enough to create the Lexicron prosthetic, those two cogs would become 1,832 moving parts, a task that Arthur knew would be impossible for his brain to keep up with. Maybe if Wovan levelled a bunch and he got more control stat to work with, it might be feasible, but as things stood, it was a pipedream. Which meant he’d need the help of a powerful biomancer who knew how to integrate the Lexicron prosthetic with his nerves and musculature. Arthur had done some research into them following his latest battle and realised it was an offshoot affinity of healing that was geared towards battle. While a healer could always do what a biomancer could, the offensive spells would never come as easily to them and would never be as powerful.There were several documented paths one could take to develop their healing affinity into biomancy, most of them involving the consumption of special elixirs and pursuing specific concepts, (...)
