Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1036 Ion Stone·Spell Reversal Luck
Xia Duo has come into contact with two spell-reversal magic items in total, one is the [Spell Reversal Ring] temporarily granted in [Projection Plane Arcane Empire], and the other is Niya's [Reverse Magic Item]. mirror】.

The latter, he can borrow it to study at any time, but the former is limited by the size of the space at any time, and he has not been able to manifest it from the projection plane.

This is a small regret.

But now, he has obtained a spell reversal magic item again, and this purple Ion Stone must bring him a different kind of surprise.

After linking and equipping in turn, Xia Duo found that all the open links between himself and the magic net were taken over by this purple ioun stone.

In other words, if someone wants to cast a spell on him, the actual recipient of the spell will become the purple ioun stone above his head.

Of course, spell reversal also has limitations. It can only reverse directional magic that has a target. If it is a spell that has no specific target in the sense of a spell, such as [Fireball] and [Ice Storm], it cannot be reversed.

Those are actually range attacks.

Or a physical attack, regardless of whether the source of the physical attack is magic or not, [Spell Reversal] is powerless.

At this time, what the caster needs most is actually - a force field type protective spell with the best protective effect on physical attacks.

……

Next, Xia Duo briefly tested the spell reversal effect of the purple Ion Stone. Everything was in line with expectations, and of course there were no surprises.

Just because these three Ion Stones are all unencrypted magic items, Conjenio's sending these three gems is actually equivalent to giving Xia Duo the production method.

He felt this when he received the gift box yesterday.

Although it was not opened at the time, even though it was separated by a layer of boxes, the magical vision could still see the countless strings of the magic net gathered around the three points in the box.

At first glance, it looks like a dense mess, but in fact it is full of orderly beauty.

With Xia Duo's current magic knowledge, it is not enough to understand all the specific meanings in one go, but he can at least judge that the link method of these magic net strings has not been encrypted.

And this also confirms the rumors about Master Conjenio in various parts of Netheril—a kind elder, willing to support the younger generation!
Xia Duo has come into contact with the magic attached to the blue and red Ion Stones in the Tower of Time, but there is no spell reversal.

Niya's [Mirror of Reversal] was indeed left by her great-grandfather Arcanist Saville, but the relevant information, especially the details of the spell reversal, were not left behind.

Moreover, the [Reverse Mirror] is encrypted, so if future generations do not want to destroy a practical magic item and ancestral relic, it is basically impossible to decipher it.

And now, with this red Ion Stone, Xia Duo can master a new spell again, and the brand new element unit contained in this spell may become the source of his future creation of new spells.

……

Generally speaking, there are several sources for the creation of new spells——

One is an accidental discovery (including trial and error and collection).

For example, if a usable and practical element unit about several magic strings is discovered by chance, a new spell with this element unit as the core may appear.

The second is to integrate specific element units in existing spells through in-depth research on the principles of spells, and combine them into a new spell as needed.

This is the source of most new spells, and Xia Duo created most of the new spells in this way in the past.

In the end, it is purely theoretical derivation, which also requires proficiency in the principles of magic and the essence of the magic net.

Derivation starts from a known element unit; or directly puts forward a conjecture purely based on experience and intuition, and then verifies whether it is feasible, and so on.

The sources of these three new spells can also be regarded as the three roads of magic research, and these three roads are not either-or, and can be fully compatible to obtain higher efficiency.

Choosing theory as the mainstay does not mean staying in the mage tower completely, not communicating with the outside world at all, or even rejecting the knowledge of the outside world, and completely quiet in one's own world.

Choosing to focus on search does not mean that you cannot conduct in-depth research on your own.

It's just that most of the magic research of ordinary mages stays in the search and integration aspects, and those who can touch the theoretical level are basically arcanists.

……

Coming out of the magic laboratory, Xia Duo went straight to the top floor and came to Niya's study.

At this moment, Niya was sitting in front of the window, holding a stack of new paper in her hand, her brows were slightly wrinkled, as if she was thinking about some difficult problem, she didn't realize it until Xia Duo came close, and when she turned her head, her eyes suddenly brightened a little point:

"Xia Duo, you came just in time, I have a question to ask you!"

Xia Duo glanced at the text on the top page of the new stack of paper in her hand, and probably knew what she wanted to ask, so he said, "What's the question?"

"The information you gave me said that although the foundation of Misuo is on the microscopic strings of the magic net, its functional structure is on the macroscopic structure of the magic net. Does this mean that if we can integrate some kind of The background fluctuation of a specific magic net has constructed a special fanlock with an extremely wide coverage?"

"That's the truth, but how to integrate it needs to be studied slowly."

Niya nodded, raised her head and glanced at Xia Duo, hesitated to speak, but finally couldn't hold back, and asked, "Where did you get this information, I believe that even Gilles High Tower is unlikely to be able to grasp such information." Lots of mystical details."

"Of course it is obtained from the projected plane!"

Xia Duo didn't hide this, and there's nothing to hide. Anyway, as long as he uses it, it will be exposed sooner or later.

Now the Seven Towers have also mastered a certain amount of mythos technology, as evidenced by the mythos in the Green Field Plane. With the Seven Towers standing in front of him, what should he worry about!

Moreover, he is now a senior arcanist, even if there is no seven towers in front of him, he is not too worried, even if a senior mage attacks, he is confident to repel it.

Furthermore, he has no idea of ​​using the fanlock technology outside, he just researches it in private.

However, it's time for the mystical ruins outside the Tower of Time to make it disappear.

Thinking like this, Xia Duo saw that Niya was looking at him strangely. Xia Duo looked at himself, then left and right, a little confused, so he asked directly:
"Why do you look like this?"

"I was wondering if you have something to do with the legendary Goddess of Fate. I have been to the projection plane several times, but the best one was just surviving. How come you get something every time! "

"..."

Xia Duo was speechless for a moment.
