Chapter 1019 Advantages of Senior Arcanist Elf
After the upgrade, Xia Duo did not leave the magic laboratory, but continued to test the specific energy consumption of the 8-level spells.

With the help of the magic net, the energy consumption is all paid by the magic net. The caster does not need to think too much, but if he casts the spell with the miniature magic net launched by his own arcane fire, or purely with arcane energy, then he needs to think about it .

Xia Duo has already conducted relevant tests before, up to the 7th ring at most. As for the 8th ring and even higher, he has speculated, but there is no actual data to support it.

This time I did it by the way.

Slightly sensing his own Arcane Fire, Xia Duo found that just like the previous upgrades, after sensing a deeper magic net, Arcane Fire automatically derived a more complex structure.

When it was unfolded, the Austrian fire, which could only be expanded into seven layers of magic net at most, could now be expanded to the eighth layer.

It's as if the Austrian fire combined with its own will, after its own will comes into contact with the deep magic net in the environment, automatically replicates the newly touched layer.

At the same time, the coverage area of ​​the miniature magic net has also increased suddenly compared to before the upgrade. If it does not rely on such a jumping increase during the upgrade, the coverage area of ​​the miniature magic net under normal circumstances can only be slowly increased over time.

Then, Xia Duo used the unfolded miniature magic net as a tool and the arcan energy stored by the Austrian fire as the energy to start casting spells. From the 0th ring to the 8th ring, the energy consumption increased gradually.

Leaving aside the 0th level, it can only slightly touch the surface of the magic net. When the energy consumption is low, it is almost negligible, and when it is high, it is very close to the 1st level spell.

But starting from the 1st ring, there will be an obvious step-wise increase in energy consumption for almost every step up.

This is in line with the simple intuitive cognition of ordinary people, and Xia Duo has explored the approximate energy consumption range of spells of each level through many tests.

If the real energy consumption of a level 1 spell is 1 point of arcane energy, then——

2 rings are 2;

3 rings are 3;

4 rings are 5;

5 rings are 10;

6 rings are 20;

The 7th ring consumes about 50~80 arcane energy;
Although mastering 8-level spells means becoming a senior arcanist or archmage, in fact, the real energy consumption of 8-level spells, which is between 100 and 200, is not absolutely different from that of 7-level spells.

Xia Duo tested multiple versions of the 8th ring [Mage Armor]. If it is simplified as much as possible to maintain the 8th ring level, then the consumption of arcane energy will be at least 100 or more.

And even if it is extremely complicated, it is difficult to break through 200.

This is very consistent with his previous speculation, and according to this speculation, the real energy consumption of the 9-level spell is between 200 and 500.

As for the higher 10th ring, that is, the power level mastered by the great arcanists, Xia Duo speculates that there will be a big improvement, at least twice as high as the 9th ring.

As for how high it is, he can't speculate for the time being.

However, Xia Duo had just returned from [Projection Plane Birth of Comanthor], and he obtained a large amount of elf magic materials in that projection plane.

Because of this, he knew that ring 10 was a relatively special level, which could almost be regarded as the end of magic.

In Netheril, there are similar sayings, and the consumption of such magic, which can be called the ultimate magic, is difficult to deduce using common sense.

Perhaps just like the 0-level spells, there is a basic consumption and an infinite consumption, but the consumption of the 0-level spells can be infinitely small, and the 10-level spells may be infinite on a certain basis.

As for the 10th ring and above, the elves are collectively referred to as advanced magic, that is, the power that only high-level mages can master, up to the 12th ring.

As for Netheril, Shaduo only knew that the level of the Tower of Time had reached level 11. As for the specific upper limit of other great arcanists, there was no record at all.

From this point of view, it seems that the elves are better, but the difficulty of achievement of the great arcanist and the elf high mage is completely different.

As long as an arcanist lives long enough, even a gangster can eventually become a grand arcanist, but an elf high-level mage needs to sense the magic net day and night, and at the same time study the principles of magic.

Of course, since elf magic is to a large extent a passive spellcasting of the automatic response of the magic net, in terms of the principle of magic, elf mages may not be as good as human arcanists.

When Xia Duo communicated with his high-ranking mage follower Elfage on the projection plane, Elfage mentioned more than once that almost no elf high-level mage is less than 300 years old.

If it were a human being, the 300-year-old bones would melt!
And this may be the real reason why Netheril finally gave up elf magic. The elves' blocking of magic knowledge may be only one aspect, and the slow upgrade speed is the key.

If human mages have been learning elven magic without any additional means of extending life, it is almost impossible for high-level mages to appear, and the human race will be suppressed by elves for generations, unable to stand up.

It is like a strong man fighting a sickly man to the death. Normally, the strong man always wins overwhelmingly.

Unless physical factors and other innate factors are not taken into consideration, and if one simply competes for wisdom, then those who are inherently weak may win.

This is the existence of the Nether magic system, which almost eliminates any innate factors. As long as you study hard, you can gain strength. Knowledge and wisdom are the ultimate magic weapon.

Knowledge and wisdom are fair to any race. Any individual who wants to acquire knowledge and wisdom needs time to accumulate, and the time required for this accumulation is just within the tolerance of human beings.

Of course, elves can also learn Nether magic, but the tradition of tens of thousands of years is not so easy to break!
However, when the elves abandoned their traditions and began to learn from humans, the elves at that time were undoubtedly extremely terrifying.

Although Xia Duo regards elves as future opponents in his heart, he doesn't want to meet such elves. Without him, the racial advantage is too great!
Although it is said that elves do not officially become adults until they are 100 years old, in fact, elves become sexually mature at around 25 years old. As long as they are willing to train their minds, they can also mature quickly.

It's just that in a long-lived society like elves, they will be treated as children before the age of 100, and elves who grow up like that will naturally be immature.

Even humans have a similar phenomenon. A society with a life expectancy of 80 years is completely different from a society with a life expectancy of 40 years.

The latter may need to breed the next generation at the age of 14 or 5 and take on heavy responsibilities in life, while the former may be a child in his 20s.

Once the elves have fully learned about humans, they can give birth at the age of 25, and then regenerate every 25 years. As for the education, they are also completely in accordance with human beings.

Such elves are almost the long-lived version of human beings, and the potential will be greater and faster in the future. How can short-lived species be opponents.

Therefore, Xia Duo sincerely thanked the traditional power of the elves. Because of this, the main plane was not completely occupied by the elves, and only humans had room for him to play.
