Mage? Spell Engineer!

How did this serious mistake happen?

At the construction site, the owners Bart and Jason discussed with detailed drawings what projects to cut to reduce funds. The dwarves who were originally carrying and following the ashes saw how fast Rorschach was doing, and these guys were reduced from ten to eight or six. In the end, only Rorschach, the dwarf who directed Rorschach to lower the pile, and the threesome who drove the crane were left.

Rorschach was furious when he had to catch the first culprit of driving piles. Fortunately, Jason, who was also furious, gave all the guys who had deserted two explosives, successfully making their safety helmets grow taller.

"I'm sorry, Master Rorschach, we were wrong!" A row of dwarves bowed in front of Rorschach one by one.

"Okay, get to work quickly, it's not my job that's being delayed."

A dwarf master blinked: "Huh? It's not your job, why are you so active?"

Yes, Rorschach suddenly choked up and turned to make amends: "This is just a part of my magic practice. If you want to improve, you should seize every opportunity."

"I see, no wonder you are an intermediate mage and Bart boy is only a junior mage."

Uncle dwarf, if you can speak, speak more. Bart and I will each get a book of hatred and write down a name at the same time.

The prototype of a wider and taller mage tower appeared on the first day. Rorschach and other citizens of Würzburg were amazed by the efficiency of the (beaten) dwarf master. Although the mage can catch up with magic, the professionalism The price-performance ratio is indeed not comparable to that of these bearded experts.

From this point of view, the construction period of the Sky Tree Tower and Starry Sky Torch Tower, which were actually built by dwarves, should not be too long.

Some construction projects were not open to the public to watch. Early the next morning, the dwarves raised the fence and rolled a heavy metal plate into the construction site.

Rorschach also deliberately got up early because what was to be installed now was the magic circle that gathered environmental ether, which was the core of his greatest interest.

"Boy Rorschach, do you understand?" Jason squatted down and knocked on the magic circle plate that had been placed under the floor of the first floor, making a metallic sound: "You are not allowed to use paper to take notes." He continued working after that. Connect the mithril wire to be buried.

Rorschach pinched the metal wire that was connected to the magic circle and tried to absorb the ether. As expected, there was a small amount of flow flowing from the magic circle to himself.

This is very interesting. To change the distribution of environmental ether and condense it in a certain space, Rorschach's [Magic Control] can also do it. He can adjust the effect and draw the corresponding circuit graphics by himself or with the help of a panel.

But as a transformation of active magic, the magic circle created by Rorschach must first be injected with magic power to activate it before it can operate. Now, the mere existence of this magic circle can naturally guide the magic power to gather and then dissipate above it, because the tower is built The round and straight tube, the area where the environmental magic power is enhanced can cover the entire space in the tower, and it is continuous.

So this is a spontaneous process? Rorschach turned on [Arcane Vision], and at the same time [Magic Control] established a connection with the magic power around the circle and felt the trajectory flowing in the metal plate.

There's a pulling sensation, no, more like stickiness and tension. First, the circuits in the metal disk were very dense, and then the magic power that Rorschach traced that belonged to him but did not exert control was pulled in the dense circuits. After entering the inner circle, he suddenly lost consciousness.

Apparently some of the magic power was consumed. Rorschach has been around the disk, sometimes circling, sometimes stopping to stare. He also followed Jason's instructions and did not take out a pen and paper to record. Instead, he relied on his own "body sense" to constantly explore and explore the entire formation. Principle of operation.

It turns out that Rorschach had been leaning over to observe, and he was still a little sore when he straightened up. It happened that Jason came over to say hello: "We are going to bury the magic circle and lay new carpets! What do you think, Rorschach boy?" Jason's tone was obviously joking.

"Do you really want me to say it?" This is what you asked. Rorschach reviewed his thoughts: "First of all, the wonderful thing is that the outer loop of the entire magic circle is very dense, each unit is very small, and there should be uneven coating on the surface. The two layers of metal with inconsistent magic transmission efficiency provide A slight potential difference.

"However, this is not enough. It only allows the ether to flow directionally from the outside to the inside in the tiny units, which is not enough to maintain the magic concentration of the entire tower. Therefore, the second ring is composed of multiple stacked control magic units. The tiny flow of the previous unit can just activate the second ring structure, thus obtaining the effect of 'magic control', giving more ether the power to flow and transport it to the next level.

"Like dominoes growing from small to large, only the smallest uneven distribution provides the potential difference to 'push the first domino', and the chain continues. From this point of view, the circuit is also burned from the inside out during manufacturing, and is finally plated with uneven Plating." If the system is based solely on environmental magic, it is obvious that the process is unsustainable and snowballing, just as it is impossible to obtain a perpetual motion machine by continuously pumping water through capillary phenomena, but starting from the second level, part of the magic is consumed and turned into a spellcasting effect. The increasing trend of concentration was maintained.

Jason's beard trembled, and finally stopped Rorschach from continuing: "Rorschach, Master, you don't have to say any more! Let's quickly lay the floor and start setting up your magic circle! I'm convinced."

"It seems I was right." Rorschach showed a harmless smile. This idea only requires the most basic brass as the base and a small amount of metal plating with high magic affinity. If the inner and outer rings of the structure of this array are reversed so that it pumps magic outward, it can obviously replace the "nuclear reactor version" The mithril metal rod of the collector greatly reduces manufacturing costs. In this way, there is hope for recreating and improving Unit 1 in Bayern, at least not letting Rorschach eat black bread for three years in a row.

"Master Rorschach, please take action."

Rorschach first took a pottery cup to demonstrate the protection plan he designed. The inside and outside of it were filled with designed circuits drawn by Rorschach. It was placed upside down on a shallow plate filled with alchemical ink, which was equivalent to a model of a mage tower.

Bart, Amelia, and Jason all watched him perform.

"Ignoring attacks such as transformation and enchantment for the time being, the most common plastic energy attacks can often be divided into kinetic energy and other energy attacks. The latter includes potential energy magic with various attributes.

"For other energy attacks, my plan is to pre-charge the [Blue Light Barrier] that can be triggered at any time." For Rorschach, this spell was developed by himself, including the magic circle version. It is familiar, easy to use, and has been tested for a long time. You can shape it to your heart's content.

"As for kinetic attacks, if they come from ordinary armies, the biggest threat to buildings is of course artillery shells. My idea is a mixture of [arrow reversal] [feather fall] and [hysteresis]." The first spell is Luo Xia didn't know how to do it at first. He went to the guild to buy a scroll last night and successfully reimbursed it in Patna. He learned this gadget with just a learning scroll, which shocked Bart.

"But [Arrow Reversal] can resist very little damage." Bart brought this point up last night, but Rorschach hid it at the time.

"The first spell I learned and integrated was just to detect high-speed moving objects. The last two high-energy-consuming spells are really useful." He picked up a small stone and fired it towards the cup with [Flying Arrow]. , the circuit lit up, and the stone suddenly lost most of its kinetic energy and fell lightly.

Rorschach explained that [Featherfall Technique] and [Hysteresis Technique] cannot continue without a target, so they can only be in a pre-activated state, while [Arrow Reversal], which consumes less energy, can always operate even if the momentum changes. It's very small, but also has the latter two spells to stimulate it in a targeted manner.

Rorschach used his knowledge of the structure of the magic circle to adjust the conditions for being judged as "arrows". Now, for the cup and the entire mage tower, only high-speed moving objects will trigger protection and intercept them, so normal traffic will not be affected.

"You can poke it quickly with your fingers, but the effect is different from touching it slowly with your fingers." The combined array of the three spells is like covering the tower with a layer of invisible non-Newtonian fluid.
