Dawn of the Grey Tower

"Dawn of the Grey Tower (

Generally speaking, the effects of magic are not intuitive.

For example, if you want to kill a person, the intuitive way is to wipe his neck with a sharp tool, or directly poke into his heart, watch the dead body fall to the ground, and life disappears immediately. This is called intuition. And to kill a person with a curse will make him start from a restless sleep, and gradually experience suspiciousness, anxiety, hysteria, madness and finally madness. At this time, he may lose his life for unreasonable actions, or be sentenced to capital punishment for those actions that violated the law enough to cause death.

In short, the way magic achieves its goal is procedural, and the death cannot be directly connected to the caster without others knowing the existence of magic. This is not intuitive. However, this difference is not intentional by the caster.

From this point of view, magic is a subtle method, and its subtlety lies in its being between nature and man-made. The vicissitudes of life are the mighty power of nature, and if you can witness the process, you will not feel abrupt.

On the contrary, humans built cities, hollowed out mountains to build castles, and changed rivers to intercept water power. These are all unnatural. Of course, this also involves the relationship between human beings as constructors or other intelligent creatures and the so-called nature, but it is not in the main discussion, let's make a rough distinction between the two for the time being. In this way, the boundary between man-made and natural is clear.

So how does magic achieve its purpose? In simple terms, it is a way of naturalizing the process of producing results through the caster's casting of artificial purposes as the result.

Going back to the example of murder, whether it is a knife or a curse, the purpose is the same, that is, to kill a person. But when magic reached this goal, it tried to naturalize this process. It made the subject go through the process from normal to madness, destroying himself with his own power.

This is just an example. In fact, there are various schools of magic, and their effects are also different. But in general, magic is like a splicing craft. It's just that what it spliced ​​is not tangible things, but two unrelated natural things. From the two ends of it, it is reasonable, but from one reason to the other. The process is beyond life experience and logical cognition.

But there are some differences in the magic that Wei Ya casts. Her so-called energy-shaping magic shows something different from the previous ones. This point, everyone else in the team is very clear. Although it seems that her spells use sand as a medium to control the beach, from the perspective of magic power, she is not guiding it, but directly imposing it on it with her own will.

Does this make a difference? Carefully use magic to guide the formation and operation of a spell, and directly display the magic with one's own will. Perhaps the latter is more intuitive and safe.

But if this is the case, what is the difference between the so-called spellcasters and those evil gods who wield incredible power from outside the world? They are all imposing their own will on this world, only the difference between quality and quantity, in a deeper place, they are the same.

Isn’t it a great thing to use human body and power to achieve things that only the existence of the world can do?

"They should be quiet for a long time. Thanks to the terrain here, the effect of acupuncture is much better than on the ground." Weiya wiped the sweat from her forehead and spoke to her surrounding companions in a relaxed tone.

Just now when she cast the spell, she showed a difficult look, but now after finishing the spell, the female mage does not look like other spellcasters as damaged, which is in stark contrast to Lolo, who is almost unsteady. Contrast.

At the beginning of this mission, the mysterious gray robe made everyone feel curious and in awe. By now, the mages from the City of Ten Thousand Dharma have substantively demonstrated the power of the gray robe.

"Why do you look so ordinary? You should be very tired from casting such a wide range of spells." The old man with a pointed hat showed a confused look and asked a little timidly. This is also a problem for everyone.

"By constructing a magic circuit in the brain in advance, magic is stored under the premise that a large amount of thinking ability is occupied. The disadvantage is that this is equivalent to a person who constantly recites articles in his brain during daily life. It will inevitably cause distractions and also greatly restrict The number of spells cast before the next preparation. The advantage is that you can use magic that is much stronger than the on-site construction in a short period of time. It can be regarded as a behavior that reduces the frequency of spells but increases the efficiency of spells. For the casters who act in teams, Separately preparing spells can smoothly deal with most emergencies. The problem is that when you encounter unexpected enemies, you will be unprepared."

Of course, the person who said this series of analyses was not Via, and no spellcaster would take the initiative to report to her family. Cheese's eyes opened at some unknown time, maybe when Luo Luo was dancing, maybe when the female mage used the acupuncture technique in her mouth.

In short, the gray robe seemed to have recovered to its peak mental state, and stood up while shaking the sand on his body.

"You can see so much through only one spell casting?" Wei Ya's voice was a little hoarse, it was not a sequelae of the spell, it was all because of the cheese said, it was the strategy of the wizards in the city of magic. . In other words, this is the characteristic of their genre. Even if the gray robe does not fully explain the advantages and disadvantages of this method of casting ~ www.readwn.com~, it is enough to make the casters of this genre feel afraid.

"This idea and the spells you just used have been shown by my trainers as an example. I just didn't expect someone in this world to do this, and it has developed into a whole system." Cheese said He couldn't tell the good or bad, he didn't say that Clark used it as a counterexample when he cited this method of casting, and it was unnecessary.

As for the reason why it will become a counterexample, it is not an issue that needs to be discussed now. Only through this shot, Gray Robe has roughly understood what kind of place the so-called City of Ten Thousand Dharma is, he has to admit that he is beginning to look forward to where he is about to go.

Looking forward to returning to expectation, the current situation has to be resolved. To say in a few words Wei Ya's casting restrictions means that her role on this beach can only be played here. The burial curse bone just blocked a wave of offensive. They are now being put in their pockets, and they have to deal with whatever they throw in.

And expecting these spellcasters to destroy this pocket? Cthulhu’s alien art is the natural enemy of most spellcasters. Their horror lies in their irrationality. It is extremely difficult to fight against unreasonable alien art with reasonable magic. It is like trying to convince a hungry tiger. Don't be cannibalistic.

But don't forget that Cheese is not an ordinary spellcaster. He is half of the Cthulhus' kind. Such an alien technique released by the cultists can be solved as long as he is willing to use a little bit of another force in his body. The problem is, that would be as simple as declaring to others that he is not just a spellcaster.

There is no need to do this. The suppression effect of different arts on magic is remarkable, but it doesn't mean that there is absolutely no way. As long as there is enough understanding, nothing is impossible.
