Werewolf wizard

Chapter 173: The Essence of Arcane Magic

In the end, Songzhong decided to speak, anyway, Black Rye Main City didn't have any knowledge secrecy requirements.

Inside the metal gazebo, Songzhong resigned herself to her fate and said, "Aetherstone is a unique ore to our world, the fifth element of the world, 【Shape】."

Sunan raised his eyebrows. Upon hearing the word "shape," it was like a key that finally unlocked the secrets of Aether magic and all its unique effects.

So, the fifth element was shape.

Indeed.

If there were no fifth element, Aether, and only the four basic elements, what would be the difference between the material plane, the energy world, and the elemental world?

The fifth element, Aether, gives all elements shape, forming a material barrier stronger than elemental planes and energy planes.

Therefore, crushing the most ordinary Aetherstone can change the state of an enemy's weapon because it changes the 【Shape】 of the enemy's weapon.

That's why adding Aetherstone to mental power enhancement potions can enhance the effect of the potion and increase the mental power enhancement effect.

If that's the case, then possessing the entrance to the underground world, and currently occupying this Aetherstone mine, is simply a huge bargain.

Songzhong said, "Former Arcanists discovered the static Aether element within the magical elements, and thus developed Arcane magic using the Aether element."

"The Aether element can 【Deepen】 mental power, making the spell structure more complex than that of ordinary wizards."

"This is Arcane magic. The casting difficulty of Arcane magic is higher than that of ordinary magic because each spell model is deepened by the Aether element, becoming more complex."

"If ordinary magic is stacking several flat triangles, then Arcane magic is stacking several curved, three-dimensional triangles."

"In this way, the magic consumption of using spells can be reduced, and the magic distribution of spells becomes more reasonable. The power is also slightly improved, and the biggest improvement is the reduction of consumption and precise attacks."

"Moreover, each of us Arcanists has a basic spell, 【Arcane Absorption】."

"We will recover the magic power scattered in the air, minimizing our own consumption."

"Our Arcane magic shield is just the magical energy we dissipate when using Arcane magic. Therefore, our magic shield will automatically deploy and recover, hardly consuming much of our magic power. Of course, it still consumes some."

"Arcane Blink, on the other hand, is a powerful spell based on Aether ore that allows our body's 【Shape】 to change, then pass through air particles, and finally 【Shape】 returns to normal a few meters away."

"This is Arcane Blink."

"A magic only Arcanists can use."

Songzhong's lips curled with pride as she spoke. "Unlike you wizards who need to consume a lot of magic power and resources, the magic resources consumed by Arcanists, and the damage to the surrounding environment when casting spells, are very small."

"Therefore, Arcanists are harmless mages, while wizards are harmful mages."

"And this excellent tradition of Arcanists, even relying on bloodlines to be passed down, can be inherited by certain people in the family, surpassing ordinary wizards in inheritance."

Blom rolled his eyes and said, "Defeated opponent, still bragging."

"If we follow your logic, our werewolves rely even less on magic and consume even fewer magic resources. Can I say that werewolves are more awesome than your so-called Arcanists?"

"You're just a prisoner, don't brag to me. If you brag again, I'll hit you."

Songzhong's face turned red and hot from Blom's insults.

She closed her eyes, trying not to look at Blom, who was insulting the honor of Arcanists.

Moreover, Songzhong vaguely felt that Blom was right, but she found it absurd as soon as she thought of it.

Sunan suddenly spoke, "Obviously, the education you received gave you such an impression. But as I see it, things don't seem to be like this."

The female Arcanist lay weakly on the ground, looking at Sunan in confusion.

Sunan said, "Let me translate your words for you."

"Why do Arcanists pursue exceptionally complex spell models, precisely recover magic power scattered in the air, and accurately calculate the attack power and required attack intensity of spells? That's because in the underground world, when the magic tide recedes, although a certain amount of magic power still remains, this magic power is no longer enough to support normal wizards."

"So, the wizards at that time, that is, the ancestors of you Arcanists, after discovering Aetherstone, felt that they had found a savior, and began to use the Aether element to 【Deepen】 their spell models, thereby developing Arcane magic that consumes less energy."

"That's why Arcane magic focuses on precise attacks, recycling, and less magic consumption."

Songzhong gritted her teeth. "How could wizards be the origin of Arcanists? The origin of Arcanists is Lady Roseve!"

"Moreover, how could Arcane magic just be a wizard variant spell that had to be developed simply because of the reduction of magic power! No, you're lying to me, lying to me…"

Sunan continued to tell the facts he inferred from the words he heard from her.

"But the Arcane magic developed in this way, of course, has many flaws, even so many flaws that, in the case of a magic tide, it is far inferior to the magic path of the orthodox wizard society."

"First of all, Arcane magic is too complex, and the difficulty of learning it is too high, but the power is not greatly improved. Therefore, higher and higher requirements are placed on apprentices."

"This requirement is too high, so that the original human race may not be able to produce enough geniuses to learn this magic category that they have just researched. So, a kind of magic was developed to store most of the quantification of Arcane magic in the human bloodline."

"The result of this magic transformation is the Drow."

"The so-called Arcane race of the Drow is because Arcane magic is too complex, so human body transformation is needed to lower the threshold for learning Arcane magic. Even if this is not done, Arcane magic must perform a lot of calculations while fighting, without combat value."

"So, the Drow were transformed by them."

"I don't know whether the earliest batch of wizards transformed ordinary humans, or their descendants, or apprentices, but in short, I did see traces of magic transformation on you, and your ancestors were humans, just like the troglodytes."

This was actually calculated by the intelligent brain.

Songzhong tried her best to get up from the ground to refute Sunan, her face even a little hideous. "Absurd, how could the predecessors of our Drow be troglodytes."

"Those troglodytes, garbage that helps wizards…"

"You actually said that my ancestors and the garbage slave race of the troglodytes are the same ancestor, absurd, absurd, everything you said is false, all lies."

Suddenly, Songzhong seemed to have thought of something, her pupils suddenly shrank, and she stopped struggling.

Sunan said, "It seems that you haven't discovered anything related to it before. I still have a guess now."

"I guess, it is completely impossible for ordinary Arcanists to be promoted to formal wizards by their own normal means. Or, according to your statement, it is Grand Arcanist."
