Lord of Arcane

Chapter 162 Spell Experiment

"It's not difficult to register a spell for the first time!"

Next, Xia Duo deposited four [Steam Rays] in the magic net in one breath, but when he wanted to deposit the fifth one, he couldn't succeed no matter what.

Xia Duo knew that this was the limit of his current spell slots - four 1st-level spell slots.

And what he knew from the book was that most new mages only had one or two 1st-level spell slots, but he had four, which was enough to prove his potential.

Generally speaking, the number of highest-level spell slots currently owned is approximately equal to the casting level.

即，1级法师拥有一个1环法术位，2级两个；3级法师拥有三个2环法术位，4级四个。

Of course, there are not only the highest-level spell slots, high-level spell slots can be converted into low-level spell slots.

For example, a 2nd-level spell slot can be converted into two 1st-level spell slots; a 3rd-level spell slot can be converted into a 1st-level spell slot + a 2nd-level spell slot.

At present, Xia Duo's highest spell level is 1st ring, which cannot be verified, but this kind of thing that can be written in black and white in the book and is easy to verify should not be fake.

And this can be verified by waiting for his spellcasting level to reach level 3.

The so-called spellcasting level is also very interesting. It has nothing to do with the personal strength of the caster, but it depends on the spells he has mastered.

掌握一个1环法术，就算1级；掌握多个则是2级，但就算掌握1000万个1环法术，和掌握两个1环法术的施法者一样——

It's still level 2!
Only after mastering the 2nd-level spells, the spellcasting level is considered as 3rd level, and so on.

Yi Xia Duo now has both the ordinary spell [Steam Ray] and the bloodline spell, so he can actually be counted as a level 2 mage.

However, it doesn't make much sense to entangle these. All low-level mages are below level 5, and there is no difference in benefits between low-level mages, and only those who reach the middle level can become masters.

This is the rule of the Tower of Time. If you are a student of some famous archmage, maybe you can only be a master if you become an archmage, or you are not eligible to be an apprentice if you are not an arcanist?
Regarding these, Xia Duo can only think about it for the time being, and continuing to experiment is what he has to do.

He has now completed the part of spell storage, and the result is surprisingly smooth, all of them succeeded without failing once, and having four 1st-level spell slots made Xia Duo overjoyed.

The next release of the storage spell will surely not disappoint him!
……

The truth is—it really didn’t disappoint him!

Just in the blink of an eye, the [Steam Ray] stored in the magic net was released, and a finger-thin high-temperature steam ray shot out from Xia Duo's fingertips and hit the target dummy.

There was a sizzling sound, and at the same time a cloud of water mist rose.

After the water mist dissipated, the dummy was not damaged at all. This is a normal phenomenon. The real target of the [Steam Ray] is the creature, not the target.

It carries high temperature itself, and the temperature emitted when the steam condenses, and the instant contact is enough to scald or even cook the hit part. It is an efficient non-lethal incapacity spell.

Instant cast is indeed instant cast, but in terms of operability, storing spells is more mechanical. Basically, whatever state is stored, it will be released.

Spells like [Steam Ray], which take effect immediately, are fine, and you don't care if you release them. If it is a spell that needs continuous guidance, then this kind of registered spell is not as flexible as manual casting.

But in any case, instant cast is an unparalleled advantage.

……

After releasing the first storage spell, Xia Duo immediately released the rest.For a while, this not-so-big magic laboratory was filled with warm water vapor.

Xia Duo felt a little uncomfortable, subconsciously used the bloodline ability to gather them together, and finally merged into a fist-sized water polo, which was dispersed by Xia Duo.

Although the water created by this spell is drinkable, it is also easily dispelled by the spell.

After doing all this, Xia Duo realized that his current spellcasting ability is not only 4 first-level spells, but he has not tested how many spells there are.

All I know is that during a normal rest period, there is no chance to use up all the spells.

It happened to be night now, and he could rest soon, Xia Duo decided to test his limits.

Of course, the first step is to use up the spell slots, otherwise tomorrow, tomorrow's spellcasting times will be wasted.

But this time, Xia Duo did not store [Steam Ray] in all the spell slots, but shaped a [Ice Blade] spell with the bloodline ability, and then stored this spell in the spell slots.

Although Xia Duo couldn't cast [Steam Ray] instantly, spells from bloodlines could be cast instantly, and even bloodline spells could be stored in the magic net.

It's just that the registered blood spells have become ordinary spells, losing their changeable and easy-to-control characteristics.If you want to control it flexibly, you still need to understand its principle and practice a lot like ordinary spells.

Simply using the bloodline ability to cast spells does not require understanding of the principles, or even practice, and the proficiency has been pulled to "full", allowing him to master the spells of the level 1 spell so easily.

Of course, at present, it is limited to spells related to "water", and the specific effect of this spell depends largely on his imagination.

To sum it up in one sentence, a warlock is born capable of casting spells, but the specific effect depends on imagination.

This is the ability of a warlock, such a simple and brutal way of obtaining power, almost made Xia Duo shake the path of a mage.

But Xia Duo also knew that his warlock ability would probably stay at level 1 forever, while the mage's power was traceable and almost unlimited.

It is impossible for him to give up the mage path for the sake of his illusory bloodline ability.

If his warlock ability can also be upgraded in turn, then Xia Duo should think carefully about whether it is worth wasting so much time studying spells.

Xia Duo is not a natural seeker of truth. His original intention of learning magic is very simple, that is to gain power, the power to protect himself, and even the power to gain some kind of benefit.

Of course, in the process of learning magic, he also experienced fun. If the ability of the warlock can really be improved, he may not give up the path of the mage, but it is very possible to relax because of it.

He has been in the mage tower for so long, and he has a good understanding of the profession of mage. He said profession because some people really regard him as a profession, similar to butcher and craftsman.

Just make money.

But there are also some people who sincerely pursue the ultimate in magic, but very few, and Xia Duo thinks he is not that kind of person.

There is 1 [Ice Blade] spell and 3 [Steam Rays] stored in the spell slot, and the storage of [Ice Blade] is also thinking about when it may be used.

In fact, the power of this 【Ice Blade】may not be as powerful as him to chop it with a knife!His single-handed strength has already exceeded 100 pounds, and his old fist can kill people.

The 100 pounds here is not Xia Duo's limit strength, it just means that holding something around 100 pounds doesn't feel too strenuous.

In other words, he can use weapons weighing about 100 pounds more flexibly, and other people's heavy weapons become light weapons for him.

And once he puts on the armor, he feels that he can challenge high-level fighters, and his lack of skills can be made up for with strength.

It's just that if you can be a "Mage", who wants to be a "Diaosi Zhan"!

And even with Xia Duo's physique and strength, as long as he can't fly or teleport, he will still fall in the crowd tactics after all.

Xia Duo has always insisted on the magic line without wavering!
