‘The first rule of mana action: Mana cannot act on mana carriers. ’—"General Theory of Magic"

The layman's explanation of this rule is that a mage cannot use mage hands to lift his or her body up.

At a glance, this is similar to a person unable to lift himself up by his hair.

But in fact, there are subtle differences.

For a mage, it is indeed impossible to make oneself take off by the cruel method of grabbing hair, but one can make oneself levitate while sitting on a chair by grabbing a foreign object like a 'chair'.

Why?

Because the growing hair is part of the mage and is a carrier of mana, but the chair is not.

In the small room on the first floor, Rosen was conducting this experiment.

First, he tried to imagine two specific hands, firmly grasping the armrest, and forcefully lifting the chair under his buttocks.

The result failed.

No matter how hard I try, the chair cannot lift off the ground.

It's not that it goes against the rules of mana, but it goes against the basic cognition deeply embedded in consciousness.

Although the mage's hand is a condensation of magic power, because it is a concrete hand, it also has the limitations of the hand.

The experiment failed, and Rosen immediately changed his imagination.

He began to imagine a rocket jet engine mounted underneath the chair, with a total thrust that exceeded gravity by just a tiny bit.

The result was still failure.

A rocket engine that can operate stably is too complex and sophisticated. He only knows the basic principles, but does not know the specific structure and parameters of the engine.

Even if the engine imagined with such a vague knowledge actually worked, Rosen would not dare to put his butt on it.

He was mentally prepared and was not discouraged. He started the third step of the experiment.

The rocket engine is still a representation, and its essence is no different from that of a hand.

Since it is concrete, it has its limitations.

So the third step is to strip away the concreteness and leave only a pure concept.

He stood up and imagined a pure force acting evenly on his clothes and shoes. The resultant force was just a tiny bit larger than his body weight.

The next moment, his clothes and pants tightened slightly, and his shoes began to push up, pulling Rosen's body upward.

Then Rosen floated up.

"Go left."

Imagine that the combined force becomes diagonally upward to the left, and sure enough, the body slowly floats to the left.

"Turn right. Spin to speed up. Slow down. Haha, interesting!"

With this thought, a stream of information flashed through my mind.

'The user creates a spell: flying spell, which has been recorded in "Rosen's Spell Book" and can be activated and used at any time. ’

Rosen immediately checked the spell book, and sure enough he saw a new page with the title 'Flying'.

Check the content again.

Flying

Spell Power: Very low.

Evaluation: The pure imagination that eliminates concreteness makes this spell have almost perfect mana utilization efficiency. However, the total amount and intensity of the spellcaster's mana greatly limits the spell's effect.

Mana cost: Extremely high.

"How high is it?"

Rosen tried to keep floating and kept rough timing in his mind.

After about 10 minutes, the body floating in the air could not maintain its balance and kept shaking left and right, as if it was about to fall.

‘It’s reached its limit. ’

Rosen immediately landed.

After landing, I felt dizzy, light-headed and almost unsteady.

He rested on the ground for a while before returning to normal.

"Just hanging in the air can only last for 10 minutes. If you overcome air resistance and fly quickly, the mana consumption will definitely be higher."

"If it reaches the speed of a galloping horse, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on for half a minute."

The consumption is indeed ridiculously high.

Currently, the flying spell can only be used as an emergency spell and cannot be used to travel.

After experimenting with flying, Rosen planned to improve the mage musket in the same way.

Because he didn't have enough magic power, he closed his eyes and started meditating.

The result was another surprise.

The moment the meditation began, Rosen suddenly felt something was wrong in his sea of ​​consciousness, as if there was some strange light and shadow.

But the Creation Singularity Meditation has begun, the magic power is quickly restored, and the strange light and shadow flashes quickly, and is obscured by a large group of red light.

The red light quickly became thicker, and in an instant it became a somewhat condensed red light group.

Rosen stopped meditating without hesitation.

"what?"

When he thought about it carefully, he felt that it was like strands of light, similar to luminous spider webs blown apart by the wind.

But why are there cobwebs in the sea of ​​his consciousness?

Unable to figure it out, the unexpected situation in the sea of ​​consciousness also made Rosen feel uneasy.

After thinking for a moment, he decided to try to reproduce this abnormality.

First use the flying technique to consume mana. When the mana is about to be exhausted, close your eyes and reactivate the meditation technique.

But not the intense creation singularity meditation, just quiet meditation.

Sinking into the sea of ​​consciousness again, the strange light and shadow indeed appeared again.

This time there was no interference, and the light and shadow existed permanently and clearly.

Rosen saw it clearly.

It’s Xinghai!

Endless sea of ​​stars!

The extremely small light points form galaxies, and the galaxies form galaxy groups, and the galaxy groups build larger and more magnificent cosmic structures.

What existed before like a luminous spider web was a large-scale cosmic structure composed of countless stars.

However, the universe in the sea of ​​consciousness is very different from the simulations of the universe that Rosen had seen.

In the real universe, the brightness of the stars is about the same, and they are basically the same.

But in the universe in the sea of ​​consciousness, there is a red star that is very, very bright, brighter than the combined brightness of the other stars.

Next to the red star, there is a small blue light spot, which is also quite bright.

Although far inferior to the former, it is still brighter than the rest combined.

Immediately afterwards, Rosen saw a third, smaller spot of light, but it was silver-white, not as bright as the first two, but brighter than all the following combined.

Looking at this scene, a sentence from "General Theory of Magic" flashed in Rosen's mind.

‘Visualization is a strange resonance between the soul and the object being visualized. Although no one knows the principle of resonance, some general characteristics have been summarized. ’

‘The closer you are to the object being visualized, the more specific and precise the visualization is, and the stronger the resonance will be. ’

Then the situation is clear.

The red stars are the sun, the blue ones are the planets under your feet, the silvery white ones are the moon in the sky, and the other light spots are the stars in the sky.

Another doubt emerged.

"But, what I was visualizing was clearly the concept of the Creation Singularity. How did it become the universe?"

He figured it out quickly.

"The singularity at the beginning of creation is no longer there. Isn't it the current universe that exists?"

"So, the reason why my mana polarity is fire polarity is because I resonate the strongest with the sun."

"No, not fire polarity."

"In my understanding, the sun is not a source of fire, it is a nuclear fusion furnace. So my main polarity should be called 'fusion'.

"Fusion fire is much more powerful than chemical fire, so I have super high mana strength."

"Beyond the fusion polarity, there is the world under our feet, the silver moon, the stars, and the dark void between the stars. It's just that the resonance with the latter is too weak to be reflected."

Therefore, it has a super composite polarity, or it can also be said to be full polarity.

The final question is, what is the use of knowing this?

Rosen thought carefully: "Apart from understanding myself better, it has no practical effect for the time being."

He still knows too little about mana and spells.

As the quiet meditation progresses, the mana continues to recover, and the dim sea of ​​stars in the sea of ​​consciousness gradually becomes brighter, among which the sun shines the fastest.

After a while, the red light of the sun expanded rapidly, once again covering the stars, turning into a fiery red blur of light.

Both Sayles' Magic Notes and "General Theory of Magic" recorded a sentence.

"When clear visualization appears in the sea of ​​consciousness, the mage has advanced to the lower level."

Rosen felt that the concrete image of his sea of ​​consciousness should be clear, but the sun's rays were too strong and it obscured his true appearance.

Therefore, his magic power should probably be at a low level.

"But when I first entered the low level, my total mana is a bit low. I feel much weaker than Cyrus."

"Or maybe I haven't reached the lower level?"

If you don’t understand it, just don’t think about it.

It was dusk in the blink of an eye.

Rosen immediately stopped training and started preparing dinner.

Rome was not built in a day, nor can a master be built in a day. He is still young and is not in a hurry.

Soon, dinner was finished.

With a bigger wallet, the ingredients will naturally become more high-end.

The dinner is not only sumptuous, but also delicious and delicious. Just looking at it will make you appetite.

Considering that Thrandis was busy with the paper, Rosen put the food into the newly purchased silver plates one by one and covered them with shiny silver lids.

As soon as he thought, five shiny silver dinner plates floated in the air beside him, arranged in a standard circle, and steadily followed his footsteps and floated up to the second floor.

‘Tuk-tuk-tuk~~’

"Come in."

Rosen pushed the door open and saw Thrandis curled up on the newly purchased leather sofa chair, his beautiful eyebrows slightly furrowed, as if he was thinking about something.

On the desk next to it, there is a small stack of wood-grain paper filled with text, as well as a large number of scrap manuscripts scattered everywhere. On the ground beside the table, crumpled manuscripts are also rolled everywhere.

In addition, there were ink splattered everywhere on the table, a quill that was almost bald, and a tea cup that almost fell to the ground after drinking it all.

It seems that Thrandis's paper has encountered a bottleneck.

He glanced at the manuscript paper and was almost blinded by the various symbols on it. He knew that his current level was not able to help at all.

He stepped forward, arranged the tabletop gently, and then placed the plates one by one.

"Teacher, I heard that the world of thought is like a maze with many dead ends."

"It may not be possible to just grit your teeth and work hard. If you take a step back and relax your mind, you may be able to expand your horizons."

As he spoke, he opened a lid, which contained a dish of foie gras with secret sauce, and the rich aroma immediately wafted out.

The sadness on Thrandis' face suddenly disappeared, and she jumped off the sofa with a 'pop'. Regardless of her objections, she kissed Rosen hard on the lips.

"My dearest apprentice, it's so nice to have you here."

Rosen smiled bitterly.

But I thought to myself: "If you want to kiss, just kiss for a long time. I won't even have time to respond to such a brief kiss."

Of course, just thinking about it, he wouldn't dare to do it.

In contrast, he still prefers to be with the dignified and serious lady-type Thrandis.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, there are still three updates today.
