Great Elf Sage

Nearly ten days have passed since I met with the Sage. .biquge

These days, the four apprentices have been conducting the final assessment according to what Gandalf said. The assessment content is to successfully construct a one-ring magic.

Ten days have passed, and apart from becoming familiar with the basic theories of magic, the four of them have made almost no progress in constructing magic.

Generally speaking, magic apprentices need to practice meditation and constantly meditate on a magic spell in their consciousness. After they understand every detail of the spell, they can naturally construct the spell and open the sea of ​​consciousness.

After opening the sea of ​​consciousness, magic apprentices are qualified to try to construct other magic formulas, and try to inscribe and solidify a one-ring magic formula to advance to a true one-ring magician.

Therefore, the first step for a magic apprentice is to open the sea of ​​consciousness as the top priority. Apprentices with better talent can choose complex initial spells as meditation objects, while apprentices with average talent can also meditate on simple 'lighting' and 'ignition' techniques. A magic spell to quickly open the sea of ​​consciousness.

But Gandalf did not tell them this. Instead, he placed scrolls recording different levels of magic in front of them. He only told them that the higher the difficulty, the greater the potential, and then allowed them to choose freely.

The four apprentices chose the four most difficult 'Basic Attribute Sensing Techniques' without hesitation, which also resulted in them making no progress for ten days...

……

After more than half a year of experiments on Julian and Shana, as well as the progress of the Aurora City Magic Academy in the Ryan Forest, Nolan has sorted out the originally messy magic system into a set of standards suitable for dissemination in the human world.

Magic spells can be roughly divided into three categories according to their functions: 'initial spells', 'fundamental spells' and 'practical magic'.

Among them, the 'initial spell' is the first magic spell used by magic apprentices to open the sea of ​​consciousness.

The initial spell has no requirements for the spell itself. As long as the apprentice can open the sea of ​​consciousness through it, whether it is a simple magic of one ring or a great magic of nine rings, it can be used as the initial spell.

Of course, the mental strength of ordinary humans is not enough to support the construction of magic spells above the second level. Forcibly trying will only cause the sea of ​​consciousness to break before it is opened. Not only is it basically impossible to open it, but it is also very likely to lead to the death of an idiot. Birth...

The ‘fundamental spell’ refers to the first piece of magic that is engraved and solidified into the sea of ​​consciousness by a magician.

Different basic spells have different potentials for advancing to the next level. Therefore, the basic spell a magician chooses basically determines his highest level in the future.

The basic spell is similar to the initial spell, and does not have much restriction on its function. It can be a basic spell like the 'magic induction spell for each attribute', which has the potential to advance to nine rings or even become legendary, or it can be like 'ignition'. There are only practical magics that can be advanced to the potential of the fifth-ring "Great Fire Ball".

'Practical magic', as its name suggests, is magic that magicians use daily or in battle.

Most practical magic can be engraved in the sea of ​​consciousness by magicians as basic spells, but as mentioned above, magic spells with insufficient potential will cause the magician's upper limit to be too low in the future.

Practical magic can either be a temporary magic formula constructed by a magician, or it can be a 'spell position magic' engraved within the basic spell in the sea of ​​consciousness.

Temporarily constructed magic spells need to test the magician's understanding of the spells and the speed of construction. For short-lived species like humans with messy thinking, it is very difficult to temporarily cast spells without the assistance of spell casting media and incantation chanting. Yes, this also makes it difficult for magicians to function through temporary spellcasting in battle without these spellcasting aids and companion cover.

Therefore, "spell slot magic" is very important to a magician. It can even be said that being able to cast spells quickly through "spell slot magic" is the mark of a magician. This is also the difference between a first-level magician and a magic apprentice.

'Spell position magic' refers to the advanced spells that magicians inscribe on their respective basic spells. This kind of spell that is solidified in the sea of ​​consciousness does not require the magician to expend a lot of mental energy and attention to construct. Being able to cast spells quickly or even without spells, it is one of the main means for magicians to show their power.

Since the basic spells that can be engraved in the sea of ​​consciousness are limited, and the number of magic spells increases inward, the potential of the spell determines the number of upgradeable spells, so the advanced spells of each basic spell are also limited.

This is where the term ‘spell slot’ comes from.

Based on these, magicians can be roughly divided into two categories based on their respective magical adaptability talents and learning abilities.

‘Spell Slot Mage’ and ‘Singing Mage’.

As a magic spell with a higher potential of the basic spell, the structure is more complex, and the requirements for mental power and magic adaptability are higher. Therefore, the "spell position magician" is a type that requires more talents; while relying on spell casting media and spells The "Singing Magician" of Wen Chan needs to be proficient in magic materials and ancient Elf language, so the learning ability is relatively high.

Take Julian and Shana as an example. Julian is a "spell magician" who focuses on talent, while Shana is a "singing magician" who focuses on learning ability.

But although the 'singing magician' can rely on the spell casting medium and the chanting of incantations to cast spells at higher levels, the potential of the basic spell is still like an insurmountable chasm, clearly setting the upper limit of the magician's future.

Therefore, Shana, who has a strong competitive spirit, would rather spend three more months to advance to the level of a first-level magician, but also take the 'Fire Element Sensing Technique', a magic technique with legendary potential, as her fundamental technique. By now Julian is close to the third ring, while Shana is only at the first ring.

In fact, when a magician opens the sea of ​​consciousness through meditation through different spells, it will depend on the breadth of the sea of ​​consciousness after it is opened. The spell with higher potential will be used as the initial spell.

Therefore, theoretically, the initial area of ​​the sea of ​​consciousness, which is closely related to mental power, should be reflected in the intensity of mental power.

But Nolan hasn't really proven that yet.

Whether it was the original elf volunteers, or later Simon and the Blue Mountain survivors, they only led Nolan to conclude that "the initial meditation technique determines the initial breadth of the sea of ​​consciousness." The connection between mental power and the breadth of the sea of ​​consciousness is still no idea.

It was not until he studied the special body structure of the green dragon and had a conflict with the God of War Ateus in the Parliament of Destiny that Nolan took the opportunity to observe the Key of Destiny up close.

After analyzing how the Green Dragon reacts on mental power through magic and part of the working mechanism of the Key of Destiny, Nolan got some inspiration, that is, magic can be reversed through the web of destiny and through high-dimensional connections. To act on mental force.

Magical power and spiritual power are unified at the high latitudes where the Web of Destiny is located. Magical power is the specific form of spiritual power after it falls to the material world. This illusory energy that unifies spiritual power and magical power at high latitudes is the web of destiny. The main component of the net is what Nolan calls the 'soul essence'.

Therefore, it can be said that spiritual power is a kind of 'soul essence' that is emitted by a creature's own soul and can be controlled by its will, and magic power is the specific form in the material world after the decay of the 'soul essence'!

Since this is the case, then reversing magic power into 'soul essence' and increasing spiritual power seems to be a feasible way to advance spiritual power!

This is also Nolan's main research direction now. Even inspired by the Key of Destiny, Nolan also improved some of the one-ring magic spells, adding to these magics the part where magic feeds back spiritual power.

But Nolan did not directly use this improved magic spell on himself and Chris, especially Chris.

At present, Chris's basic technique has penetrated into the sixth ring. If the first ring, which is the basic building, is operated at this time, no one knows what the consequences will be...

So Nolan needed to start experiments on humans and Blue Mountain survivors.

The large number of back students at the Magic Academy in Aurora City are high-quality 'guinea pigs' for this experiment, and the Magic Association is the place for 'clinical trials' of improved plans.
