Chapter 621 The Magic of Cthulhu World
Magic is the most powerful and terrifying supernatural force in the world of Cthulhu mythology.

Now Barrett has a magic encyclopedia that records the Cthulhu Mythos in his hand.

The most important thing in releasing magic is whether the stars have reached a specific position, and is there a special astrology under the sky?
"The Book of the Graveyard": Be a Hole, Be a Dust, Be a Dream, Be a Wind, Be a Night, Be a Darkness, Be a Wish, Be a Will Without a trace, he goes to heaven and enters the earth and lives in the sky and the earth.

Many spells, especially summoning spells and summoning spells, require special astrology to be able to cast successfully. Of course, if luck is really bad, there is no way.

There are many kinds of astrology, the most common of which is called Qiyao.

The related celestial body on Monday (Lunar Sunday) is the moon. During this time period, you can use dream health or recovery related spells.

The celestial body associated with Tuesday (Fire Day) is Mars, which can release combat spells, spells that bring disaster, and spells that harm enemies.

Wednesday (Wednesday) is related to Mercury, which can use the magic of communication language to enhance skills and abilities.

On Thursday (Thursday), the related celestial body is Jupiter, and you can use spells that bring good luck and bad luck to fulfill your wish summons.

The associated celestial body on Friday (Golden Day) is Venus, which can release the magic of creativity and interpersonal relationships, which is actually to charm humans.

On Saturday (Saturday), the relevant celestial body is Saturn, which can release protection and guard the expulsion of magic.

The associated celestial body on Sunday (Sunday) is the Sun, which can unleash magic that grants willpower boosts and rewards.

Therefore, if Barrett wants to follow Diablo's method of carving runes into his own cells, he must conduct the experiment on Sunday.

After reading the first half of this book carefully, Barrett realized that in addition to the 7 weeks represented by different planets in the astrology, even the moon in the sky has four phases represented.

Not to mention that there are different festivals every day, and different festivals are used to represent the sun to release magic.

Simply speaking, there are 4 solar terms: winter solstice, vernal equinox, summer solstice and autumnal equinox. During the day of these 4 solar terms, only a single magic can be released.

In addition to the astrological images on the earth, there are other astrological images, such as the Leonid meteor shower discovered in 1833. Some strange magic can also be released on this day, but it is a pity that this book by investigator Carter There is no record in the books.

There is also the very famous Halley's Comet, which was discovered in 1531 and actually orbits the sun in 5 years. [The last return was in 1986, and the next return will be in 2061. 】

These special images actually represent the release of a certain kind of magic, so it is very difficult to release magic in the Cthulhu mythology, but it is an extremely professional thing.

In addition, there is the ancient city of Lalyye in the South Pacific of the earth, which seals Cthulhu, so there are some differences between the magic world of the earth and the magic world of other worlds, and dreamland magic appears.

The release of this kind of magic is a form of reality in the dream, so it looks very magical or scary, and it is extremely strange to some people who like to dream.

Therefore, to learn the magic of the dreamland, one can only learn and release it in the dreamland. To learn this kind of magic, the prerequisite is to use one's own spirit to connect with the old ruler and enter the dreamland.

This condition alone repulses most wizards who want to learn magic. Every wizard's own rationality is very important. If you connect with the old ruler, if the connected ruler has a milder personality, then it is still Even better, if it is connected to Cthulhu, with Cthulhu's own unconscious whispering, he will instantly become a lunatic.

In addition to the above-mentioned need to use a certain astrology before releasing the magician, in addition to releasing magic, you need to use many tools.

For example, common altars, ritual knives, even brooms, daggers, metal cauldrons used to brew magic concoctions, ancient books and magic books containing some magic knowledge, etc. These series of things are all tools for releasing magic.

In addition, releasing spells also needs to consume a certain component of oneself. For example, some spells need to be released by cutting off one's own hand, so in fact, learning and casting spells has always been extremely painful, even It can lead to moral dilemmas.

But other than that, the magic component is not necessarily, you must have a certain kind of organ and flesh and blood in order to be able to release the spell.

For example, the magic components that Barrett relied on in Heishui Island are actually corpses. There are so many corpses. With so many corpses, Barrett actually directly released a huge monster that surrounded the entire periphery of Heishui Island. Magic circle, besides the powerful content recorded in the book of Sothos, the death and injury of a large number of murlocs is also the reason for the success of this spell.

In Cthulhu mythology, magic needs to be divided into 17 categories in total.

magic for short
drive out and control

summon monsters and gods

fight 【战】

Exchange 【hand】

dreamland 【dream】

Enchanting 【attachment】

environment [ring]

Renew 【continuation】

folk magic [folk]

Damage magic (can only be used outside the battle, in fact, it is a superimposed state, superimposed buff magic) [harm]

dominate others

make monsters

Other magic (usually this kind of magic has a little effect) [he]

protect 【guarantee】

time-related [time]

deformation 【change】

travel and transportation 【journey】

However, in the book of Investigator Carter, not all the magic is recorded.

Among them, the magic that is very difficult and has great damage has not been recorded. For example, the black goat cub restraint technique, the outer god servant restraint technique, Yogg Sothos invite god spell, these magics with great damage, There is no record at all.

There are only some records of magic that is not so powerful and does not cause much damage to itself, such as the human seduction technique in the category of expulsion and control
However, in the category of summoning monsters, there are basically no recorded spells, and the only ones recorded are spells with low damage.

For example, Summoning Thunder, as the name suggests, summons a bolt of lightning out of thin air. As for the more dangerous Summoning, there is no record.

In addition to this, there is no record of even dreamland magic. There are only a few dreamland magics, such as rectangular barriers and dream expulsion. These magics have been recorded, but it seems that these magics They are all magic for self-defense.

A small number of battle magics are not very powerful, and they seem to need to consume some things,

Enchanting magic is the most recorded in the entire book. After all, this is the era when guns are popular. As long as you can enchant the guns in your hand, you can actually cause huge damage to many creatures outside the earth.

In addition, there is no record of environmental magic at all, only a brief introduction, which Barrett can understand. There was once a wizard who released a terrifying environmental magic in the Sahara Desert. curse.

The impact of this magic on the entire Sahara Desert was extremely terrifying. It directly set off a huge sandstorm with a length of 30 kilometers. During that year, an unknown number of creatures and humans died, and even buried a city. .

So environmental magic has become extremely rare after that, and most magicians are unwilling to teach it anymore. Environmental magic is just too dangerous.

In this book, in addition to the most enchanting magic, there is also the most magic that dominates others, which is also related to the investigator's work.

Among the Carter investigators, the number of spells recorded in this book is particularly large, and many of them need to consume a lot of rationality points.

This made Barrett think of Professor Wald. I am afraid that when the professor was young, he also consumed a lot of rationality points to survive those extremely difficult adventures.

After reading this book from beginning to end, Barrett decided to spend more than a month practicing spells.

However, every exercise needs to consume his own rationality, which really makes Barrett feel extremely uncomfortable, because he has never found any method other than a long rest to restore his own rationality.

Perhaps it is possible to restore their own rationality through writing and creation. After all, when most artists communicate with Cthulhu, they only become a little more rational when they create art.

Perhaps it is during this period of time that they can slowly recuperate and heal themselves. This guess is indeed worth a try
