Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 620

Shannon walked calmly to the front of the lecture hall under Logan and her classmates' watchful eyes.

The desk had all the necessary materials laid out for her. Unlike Logan who slapped the talisman onto the teaching board, she placed the blank talisman on the table in front of her following her usual habit.

She picked up the cinnabar pen and took a long focused look at the talisman Logan had drawn and placed on the board. It looked as though she was about to simply copy it.

Some of the students started whispering among themselves. "That's exactly what she did. During the rain-casting duel, she looked at Skylar's rain-casting array and copied it perfectly…"

A student next to them was still doubtful that someone could master something just by seeing it once. They pointed out, "Copying a talisman isn't as simple as just tracing the sigils."

To create a functional talisman, one had to master the flow of sigils and control of spiritual energy. Some students who'd studied talismanic arts realized that Logan's sigils weren't the typical flow of an ordinary talisman.

Though he had completed it in one smooth motion, the sequences of sigils were different. Some sigils flowed from left to right, and others from top to bottom. Each variation had a deep significance.

Logan had suddenly reversed the flow of his sigils midway through his drawing to an earlier part of the talisman. Some newcomers clicked their tongues at how sly Logan was.

It was no wonder that he had gotten Shannon to copy his talisman right away. He was certain that she'd never learned this specific talisman before. It was a modified composite talisman.

Modern talismans were derived from ancient scripts handed down by past mystic masters. Many of the original talismans had been lost with only fragments surviving.

As some talismanists learned these original talismans, they worked to reconstruct or adapt ruined talismans to give rise to new talismans.

Such creations included talismans for fat loss, exam-passing talismans, and hair-growth talismans.

Some of these creations were repurposed old talismans that were renamed and slightly altered for new contexts. Others were genuine innovations created by skilled talismanists who improved ancient talismans.
