"Heart of Ironwood—apprentice-level—speeds up vitality recovery."

"And lastly, Hydra Vitality…"

Ryen's tone grew serious.

"This is a master-level spell—it can instantly restore anyone's condition to their absolute peak."

"In fact, you could say that once you have this spell, you'll never need to eat or use any kind of healing potion again."

"In addition, summoning spells also have master-level versions—the Ice Guard Legion, which can summon eight powerful Ice Guards at once."

"You just need to know that these creatures are the guards of the Snow Queen—a powerful late-game boss in the Twilight Forest."

After speaking, Ryen calmly took a sip of tea, waiting for everyone to digest this information.

Only after a long pause, when he saw they'd gathered their thoughts, did he continue:

"Now that we've covered those, it's time for the most important part—combat spells."

"In general, spells fall into seven main attributes."

"Fire, frost, lightning, earth, healing, arcane, and necromancy…"

"Of course, earth magic is also called nature magic—in Teyvat terms, it would be the equivalent of Geo and Dendro."

"This type of spell focuses more on interacting with the environment, rather than dealing high direct damage."

Technically, there's also a non-elemental type… but…

It's just a beginner-level Magic Missile. Calling it a 'spell' is too generous! Ryen refused to acknowledge it.

Ningguang, however, was quite pleased—it was the first time she'd seen something that could enhance her elemental power.

Tartaglia and Venti, on the other hand, looked crestfallen.

"So there's no Hydro or Anemo? This feels targeted!"

Venti grumbled, rubbing his nose in frustration.

Ryen only smiled without answering, while Ningguang softly asked:

"Ryen, are there any powerful earth-element staves?"

Being a mage herself, Ningguang disliked close combat—and now, she'd finally found something suitable.

Ryen thought for a moment before replying:

"The Staff of All-Breathing—it boosts earth abilities by 60%. In other words, both Dendro and Geo get a 60% increase."

Ningguang's eyes gleamed as she carefully wrote the staff's name in her notebook.

This could greatly enhance her combat strength.

Ryen paused briefly, then went on:

"Of course, talking about staves now is still too early."

"In the Twilight Forest Witchcraft expansion, there are only thirteen combat spells."

"Apprentice-level spells include Frost Breath, Druid's Touch, Twilight Orb, and Necromancer's Page—respectively frost, nature, and arcane in attributes."

"These spells aren't particularly tricky to use, but if you're looking for good combinations, I'd recommend…"

"Necromancer's Page and Druid's Touch—the former can apply curses, while the latter inflicts poison damage over time."

"Of course, if you have specific elemental needs, Frost Breath is also good—it can freeze enemies."

"As for Twilight Orb, forget it—my evaluation is that it's all show, no substance."

Since this was about future spell combinations, naturally, everyone listened very carefully.

Ryen waited until they'd all finished taking notes before continuing:

"Next are the advanced-level spells— Explosive Fireball, Ember Cloud, Frost Bomb, and Acid Rain."

Hearing this, Tartaglia perked up.

"Acid Rain—is that a Hydro-element spell?"

Ryen gave him a pitying look.

"Unfortunately… it's Electro."

"…"

Tartaglia refused to give up.

"How could Acid Rain possibly be Electro? It's rain! You control the weather to make it rain! That's clearly Hydro!"

"Ryen, are you sure you didn't make a mistake?"

Ryen only shrugged.

"I couldn't tell you why."

"When cast, Acid Rain summons a cloud over the target area that pours down acid rain, causing continuous corrosive damage."

"It's essentially a large-area, persistent damage skill. Of course, if you were to use it in Teyvat, it would probably also apply Hydro."

"And if you have a Troll Ring, the acid rain can also poison enemies."

"So, among the advanced spells, I do recommend Acid Rain and Ember Cloud—both are area-of-effect damage over time."

Everyone quickly scribbled notes again.

Even Tartaglia looked satisfied this time.

Sure, it still wasn't a true Hydro spell… but Acid Rain was close enough!

Venti, however, just stared blankly. After a long silence, he looked like he was about to cry.

"So… there's really no Anemo spell?"

Ryen shook his head in sympathy, glancing at Venti.

And just like that, the world's only truly neglected element… was Anemo.
