Arcane Lord

After the upgrade, Xia Duo did not leave the spell laboratory, but continued to test the specific energy consumption of the 8-level spell.

With the help of magic nets to cast spells, the energy consumption is all paid by the magic nets. The caster does not need to think about it too much. However, if the magic net is cast with its own arcane fire, or if it is purely magical, then it needs to be considered. .

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

　　 I did it incidentally this time.

　　 Slightly perceives his own Olympic Fire, Xia Duo found that the same as the previous upgrade process, after perceiving a deeper magic net, the Olympic Fire automatically derives a more complex structure.

　　 When it is unfolded, the Arcane Fire, which was originally only able to expand into 7 layers of magic nets, can now expand to the eighth layer.

　　 is like the arcane fire combined with one's own will. After one's own will touches the deep magic net in the big environment, it automatically replicates the newly touched level.

　　 At the same time, the coverage of the micro magic net has also increased abruptly compared to before the upgrade. If you do not rely on the leap-forward growth during the upgrade, the coverage of the micro magic net can only be slowly increased over time under normal circumstances.

　　 Then, Xia Duo used the unfolded micro magic net as a tool, and the arcane energy stored by the Arcane Fire as the energy source, and began to cast spells, from the 0th ring to the 8th ring, the energy consumption gradually increased.

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

　　 But starting from the 1st ring, almost every increase of a ring level, there will be a clear stair-like growth trend in energy consumption.

　　 This is in line with ordinary people's simple and intuitive cognition, and Xia Duo has passed many tests to find out the approximate energy consumption range of each level of spell.

　　 If it is said that the true energy consumption of a 1st-level spell is 1 point of arcane power, then—

　　 2 ring is 2;

　　3 ring is 3;

　　 4 rings are 5;

　　 5 rings is 10;

　　 6 rings is 20;

　　 The 7th ring consumes about 50~80 Olympic energy;

　　 Although mastering 8th-level spells means becoming a senior arcanist or archmage, in fact, the true energy consumption of 8th-level spells, which is between 100 and 200, does not differ in absolute sense from 7th-level spells.

　　 Xia Duo has tested multiple versions of the 8-level [Mage Armor]. If it is simplified to the highest level and only maintains the 8-level level, then the consumption of Arcane energy is at least 100 or more.

　　 Even if it is extremely complicated, it is difficult to exceed 200.

　　 This is very consistent with his previous speculation, and if according to this speculation, the true energy consumption of the 9th-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 speculated that there would 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 has just returned from [Projection Plane·Birth of Comanso], in that projection plane he obtained a lot of wizard magic materials.

　　 Because of this, he knows that the 10th ring is a relatively special level, which can almost be regarded as the end of magic.

　　 In Netheril, there is a similar argument, and this kind of magic can be called the ultimate magic, and its consumption is difficult to infer with common sense.

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

　　 As for levels above 10, the elves are collectively referred to as advanced magic, that is, the power that only advanced wizards can master, up to 12 levels.

　　 On the side of Netheril, Xia Duo only knew that the Tower of Time had reached the 11th level. 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 more advanced, but the difficulty of the achievement of the great arcanist and the high elven wizard is quite different.

　　 As long as an arcanist lives long enough, even if he is a mixed one, he can eventually become a great arcanist, but the elven high-level wizard needs to sense the magic net day and night, and at the same time study the principles of magic.

　　 Of course, since elven magic is largely a passive cast of magic nets, the elven wizard may not be as good as the human arcanist in terms of the principle of magic.

　　 When Chateau communicated with his High Wizard follower Elfitch on the projection plane, Elfitch mentioned more than once that almost no Elf High Mage was younger than 300 years old.

　　 If you change to a human, your 300-year-old bones will be melted!

　　 And this may be the real reason why Netheril finally gave up the wizard magic at the time. The blocking of magic knowledge by the wizard may be only one aspect, and the slow upgrade speed is the key.

　　 If human wizards have been learning wizard magic without any additional means to extend their life, it is almost impossible to have higher wizards, and the human race will be held down by elves for generations and cannot stand up.

　　 This is like fighting a life-and-death battle between a strong person and a weak and sick person. Under normal circumstances, a strong person will always achieve an overwhelming victory.

　　 Unless innate factors such as physique are not considered, and if you simply compete for wisdom, those who are inherently weak may win.

　　The color-resistant magic system exists in this way, almost eliminating any innate factors. As long as you study hard, you can gain power. 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 ~www.readwn.com~ is within the range of human endurance. .

　　 Of course, elves can also learn color-resistant magic, but the tens of thousands of years of tradition can not be broken so easily!

　　 But when the elves gave up their traditions and began to learn like humans, the elves at that time were undoubtedly terrifying.

　　 Although Xia Duo regarded the elves as future opponents in his heart, he did not want to meet such elves. Without him, the race advantage is really too great!

　　 Although it is said that the elves are only 100 years old before they are officially adult, in fact the elves are sexually mature at around 25 years old. As long as they are willing to train, they can mature quickly.

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

　　 Even humans have similar phenomena. 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 and bear the burden of life at the age of 14 or 5, while the former may be a child in his 20s.

　　 Once the elves fully learn humans, they can give birth at the age of 25, and then regenerate once every 25 years. As for education, it is also completely according to humans.

　　 This kind of elves are almost the long-lived humans, and the greater the potential and the faster the development later, how can the short-born species be the opponent.

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