(Author's Note: Have to do this, sorry. For those who don't like skill details and the like, you can skip this next part. I'll try to keep it short, but remember that you're reading a litrpg. This is part and parcel of the genre, and cannot be avoided.)
Darius put this aside. He decided that since he completed this task earlier than he expected, he would spend the remaining planned time developing spells for it. This would be much faster and with his various boons, very productive.
In fact, Darius was beginning to love the Material Element. Instead of using his precious CP for something, he could just make perfected spells with Transmutation and let his people learn from his 'supreme' spell manuals.
With enough investment from him, they could use a cheap resource like mana to create various things that didn't need to be Transmuted but were needed by Safemoon.
However, this was a plan for later. Like grooming his army, it would take time, at least 6 months of dedicated preparation and training. Right now, he was more interested in allocating the AP and SP he had been given by the Event.

Darius clutched his head as he felt his brain overheat for a split second before calming down. Once more, he felt like his brain that had been submerged in mud and sludge was cleaned even further, new pathways and passages making themselves known for information to travel efficiently.
He also felt his body shudder, as if his drill sergeant had finally given him permission to take off remove the backpack filled with rocks he had been lugging around for an entire day. That feeling of relief, of having a weight removed from your shoulders, was amazing. In this case, it only indicated that Darius got faster.
He breathed out and checked the skills he changed up. He then pondered and activated Transmutation, taking some empty Spell Manuals from his Inventory that he always kept on hand.

Darius made the change and learned the skill. It was something he had eagerly been aiming to acquire once he became an Adept because its effect on growing his power was not small.
