Lord of Arcane

Chapter 905: The Difficulty of Being a Master of New Spells

Back in the study, Xia Duo took out the previous spell notes and began to concentrate on researching the ring-raising matters of various spells.

However, the deeper the level of the magic net involved in the spell, the more difficult it is to rely solely on the equivalent conversion of the magic net's strings to perform pure theoretical derivation.

Because at this level, the improvement of spells is not just an improvement in energy level, but an actual performance improvement with stability.

Specifically, it has the characteristics of anti-interference, high penetration, easy deployment, and stable structure.

Of course, some spells can simply accumulate energy levels, such as those spells that purely use elements and energy characteristics, such as fireball, just burn them.

But other spells can't do this, such as [flying spell].

If simply accumulating energy, there may be an increase in speed, but speed is not the only element of flight, maneuverability and stability are also important.

In the same way, there is [Teleportation]. If the ring is raised only from the perspective of increasing the level of the spell, the teleportation after the ring is upgraded is more manifested as an increase in the teleportation distance.

This may be important, but what Xia Duo wants more is the improvement of transmission stability and the improvement of anti-interference ability, so that it will no longer be affected by the general [Forbidden Technique] and [Dimensional Anchor] spells.

This is the direction in which the teleportation technique should really be improved, at least for Xia Duo himself.

In addition, if a spell is a high-level spell raised from a low-level level, it will lack some characteristics compared to other directly created high-level spells.

This is actually inevitable. The process of ascending the ring is actually to convert the core elements of a spell into equivalent high-level elements after repeating it many times.

Essentially, it's an energy boost.

Of course, in this process, in order to adapt to such an increase in energy level, the spell structure will also be adjusted to a certain extent, which is a bit of a "remedy after a dead sheep" in it.

but--

Everything has a but is different. Xia Duo once mentioned in the book "Principle" that as long as he has mastered the equivalent conversion of the strings of the magic net, it is not a problem to become an archmage all the way.

And in fact, more than that!
If an ordinary mage completes every spell by himself, then he must be far superior to other mages in terms of the principle of magic, and the chance of becoming an arcanist is also greater.

This is like the problem solvers in Xia Duo's hometown. Compared with those who don't solve problems, their chances of being admitted to university are significantly higher.

Because the conditions for becoming an arcanist are like the syllabus for the college entrance examination, they have been clearly and clearly laid out there long ago, as long as they are all satisfied, one will almost certainly be able to become an arcanist.

And becoming an arcanist is different from the college entrance examination, that is, arcanists hardly take subjective questions, all objective questions, one is one, two is two, as long as you don't make mistakes, you will definitely be able to answer correctly.

This is also an important reason why Xia Duo emphasized [Ascension Ring Trial] many times in the Advancement Society.

……

And at Xia Duo's level, the ordinary method of accumulating energy levels to ascend the ring can no longer meet his needs.

All I have to do it myself is just to verify and get familiar with some magic elements from the 6th level to the 7th level, and the magic string equivalent conversion in this process.

What he is really lacking is actually those samples of more high-level spells, which can be used as a reference to master more spell characteristics, or to inspire thinking, in order to discover the more essential combination rules of the magic net strings.

In fact, it has been seven or eight years since Xia Duo learned magic from entering the Tower of Time, counting the time spent on each projection plane.

The essence of magic is the combination of the strings of the magic net, and the essence is the special effect produced by the flow of energy in a specific circuit.

There is no doubt about this, Xia Duo knew it very early on.

In theory, as long as the strings of the magic net are combined at will, various magical effects will be triggered, which is equivalent to creating brand new magic one after another.

But it is a pity that most of these random spells manifest as leakage of magic net energy, existing in the form of various elements and energy turbulence.

In addition to the equivalent conversion of the strings of the magic web, the predecessors also divided spells into different types according to the specific spell effects, and analyzed specific element units with similar, progressive, and cyclic relationships in different types of spells.

Only then will there be more sources of creativity in the future, otherwise it will only be luck.

In the past, Xia Duo also tried to summarize the more essential laws, but apart from the law of the transformation of the magic net strings that the predecessors had already obtained, he did not find anything more.

To a large extent, it is still following the path of the predecessors, and at most it is just doing some integration according to its own ideas.

Until some time ago, because of the awakening of his bloodline, he gained the ability to trace memory. By retrieving some of the memories before time travel, Xia Duo finally understood that it was almost impossible to discover the more essential laws of spells with his current ability.

On Earth, there is a discipline called bioengineering, and one of the more interesting fields is the study of protein folding.

The structure of a protein determines its properties, and what scientists want to study is the correspondence between structure and properties, so as to create a specific protein they want.

Xia Duo went back to this time, and it was easy to connect protein folding with the combination of magic net strings. Both of them are structure-determining properties, and the same structure combination is almost infinite, but useful is very few.

Spellcasters want new spells with specific functions, just as geobiologists want proteins with specific properties.

It is necessary to find a specific combination of magic net strings. Before the law of magic net string combination is penetrated, apart from looking for a needle in a haystack to try luck, the only way to integrate is to start from the specific element units of known spells.

……

And it is almost impossible to penetrate the law of the combination of the strings of the magic net in the magical world without supercomputers, let alone Xia Duo can study it clearly in a short time.

From this point of view, it seems that grand arcanists may not be much better than ordinary mages, but they have more knowledge accumulation and better external conditions, so they can make more attempts.

Because of this, Xia Duo pays more attention to the popularization of magic. As long as there are more people participating, not to mention the wisdom of the participants themselves, the spell samples they flow out are worth looking forward to.

As a result, a relatively clear development line emerged—magic popularization, mages increased, exchanges increased, samples increased, and researchable laws increased.

……

As for the magic version of the supercomputer, although Xia Duo is looking forward to it, but at the same time he is also very clear that it is impossible for him to penetrate the law of the combination of the strings of the magic net with just a supercomputer.

In other words, the law of the combination of the magic net strings is actually the so-called "magic essence". Of course, the magic essence may also include the nature of the magic net strings themselves and the characteristics of the magic net environment.

But if you master the combination law of the magic net strings, you can do almost anything, and you can get any spell you want through the combination law.

How could such a "divine realm" be achieved so easily.

After all, in his plan, computers are not difficult to realize, but it is difficult to realize them by using limited computing power and wisdom to pursue infinite laws!
Even the goddess of magic may not be able to do this.

In other words, Xia Duo didn't want such a powerful god to exist in his heart. This is too much pressure for mortals who already know their own limits.
