I'm Making A Video In American Comics, And I Start Out As Dark Strange

【The scene changes to the next day.

Seeing hope, An Lan's eyes light up. After a night's rest, An Lan, who has taken care of his appearance, looks neat and tidy, and has regained some of his former handsomeness.

Putting on a magician uniform, he looks a bit mysterious.

Visiting Sorcerer Supreme again, Ancient One magician did not say too much politeness, and explained the relevant knowledge of magic to An Lan straight to the point:

"The first lesson in learning magic is to understand the source of magic power."

"If magic is compared to a car, then the power that drives magic is gasoline. These powers can be generally divided into four categories."

Ancient One magician raised a finger: "The first one is personal energy, which every magician has, because it is gradually improved through practice, tempering, blood inheritance, or esoteric rituals, and it is completely his own power."

"Through his own power, magicians can do qigong, psychic, astral projection, and even interfere with the hearts and minds of others."

While speaking, Ancient One magician's finger suddenly flicked in front of An Lan's forehead.

The next moment, an illusory An Lan suddenly escaped from his body, while his real body fell backwards with a look of astonishment.

This process lasted only two seconds. Before An Lan could react, the illusory him was pulled back into his body, and after a sway, he stood firm.

"The second is cosmic energy. This power comes from the universe. Compared with the power of magicians, cosmic energy is much more abundant, and magicians can use it to do more things."

"For example, the latitude gate that facilitates travel, and the mirror space that divides reality."

The Ancient One magician continued to explain, as if he didn't see the shock on An Lan's face, and took out a strange ring with two rings connected together and handed it to him:

"But compared to the fully controlled energy of the self, if you want to control the energy of the universe, you need to use the Sling Ring."

The moment the voice fell, the Ancient One magician stomped his feet lightly, and a mirror-like refraction angle appeared in the air. With a rumbling sound, the hall where the two were suddenly alive, the space bloomed rapidly like flowers, and the patterns on the ground, ceiling and walls rolled like a kaleidoscope.

"It's incredible!" An Lan looked at the ever-changing space in all directions, with awe and amazement in his eyes.

The Ancient One magician smiled slightly, and the expanding space froze.

Then, he stretched out his hand and drew a circle in front of him. A golden-red circle appeared, and Ancient One and An Lan passed through it and left the mirror space.

He continued to explain: "The third source of magic power is magic tools. They are usually created by some powerful beings. Originally, they have powerful magic power and can exert specific magic effects without additional driving."

"You will come into contact with magic tools in subsequent training. Next, I will tell you about the last source of magic power."

The Ancient One magician did not take out magic props for demonstration, but jumped directly to the end.

He slowly said: "The fourth source of magic energy is actually similar to cosmic energy, but it uses the power of other dimensions."

"But there is one difference... There is no extra cost to use cosmic energy to cast spells, because even if cosmic energy is used, it is still within the cycle of the universe."

"Using the power of other dimensions is like borrowing money from someone. Once you use it, you need to pay the corresponding price. The difference is that some dimensional energies are cheaper to use, while others are very expensive."

"Master Ancient One, is the cosmic energy not very suitable for combat and can only play a supporting role?" An Lan asked thoughtfully.

Ancient One laughed: "Yes, how did you find this out?"

An Lan replied: "Yesterday I saw with my own eyes the magicians, led by Master Kaecilius, fighting a legendary demon-like monster, but they basically used melee combat, and did not use fireballs like the legendary magicians."

"So, you said that borrowing power from other dimensions requires a price, and I thought of a possibility. Maybe it's not that the magicians don't know long-range spells like fireballs, but that they need to save and use as little consumption as possible to complete the battle..."

"Your guess is right." Ancient One magician nodded and said: "Spells of different natures require energy of different natures to drive them."

"The cosmic energy of the real universe is a neutral force, which is difficult to use for defense and attack, and personal energy is too weak, so it is inevitable for us to use the power of other dimensions."

After a pause, Ancient One The magician continued, "But these questions are too early for you. Now you have just stepped into the door of magic."

"First, what you need to do is to build your understanding of magic through basic magic books. After accumulating a certain amount of magic knowledge, you can receive practical spell teaching with other apprentices."

The Ancient One magician had several black books of amazing thickness in his hand. He handed them to An Lan and said, "Read these books first. If you don't understand anything, you can always find me."

"Thank you, Master Ancient One!" An Lan bowed respectfully and left with the books.

The next moment, the scene switched.

An Lan, wearing a magician uniform, appeared in the library of Kamar-Taj holding several finished books.

The Indian librarian recommended several new books to An Lan after roughly understanding his level of magic knowledge.

During this period, An Lan accidentally noticed that there was a special bookshelf among the rows of bookshelves. The cover of the magic book on it was even inlaid with gems, which looked different from other books, and all the books on the bookshelf were chained.

"Can I ask what those books are like?" An Lan asked the librarian.

The librarian looked back and said, "Those are the private collection of the Ancient One magician... Although the knowledge of Kamar-Taj is not prohibited for anyone to learn, those books are too profound for people other than the Sorcerer Supreme."

"Can I take a look?" An Lan asked.

"Definitely." The administrator smiled and said, "In fact, many magicians have been curious like you, but in the end they all gave up... For a normal magician, it is not necessarily possible to accumulate their knowledge to the threshold of learning those advanced knowledge in a lifetime."

An Lan took a book from the private collection of the Ancient One magician, flipped through it carefully, then put it back on the bookshelf, and returned to his residence with the books picked by the administrator.

An Lan read very quickly.

When he went to return the book for the second time, the administrator reminded him that if he had mastered the contents of these basic magic books, he could almost start using actual spells. 】
