Mage Joan

Chapter 7: Parsing magic



The number of spell slots that the caster can obtain from the magic net every day is quite limited. The specific number is determined by the caster class level and the spiritual attributes required to cast the spell-"intelligence" for the wizard and "perception" for the priest. For the warlock and the minstrel, it is "charm"-a joint decision.

But there is a special exception, which is the 0 ring spell. The magic energy level of the 0 ring spell bit is too low, and the caster can theoretically extract an infinite number of 0 ring spell bits from the magic net. Of course, in fact, it is not so easy. After all, the casting is a very heavy mental work. Even if the continuous casting of 0 ring tricks will consume a lot of energy, it will be difficult to maintain concentration over time. The success rate of casting will also vary. The sharp decline.

With "Spell Position", the next thing the caster has to consider is what to do with this pure magical energy. It is like the heat energy obtained by burning coal, which can be used for heating, lighting, and cooking. Energy itself is useless. The utility comes from the creativity and execution of energy users. The same is true for magical energy. All the spell bits of the same ring number contain the same energy, but combining it with different spell configurations can transform the results into very different spells. For example, Joan's current "hand of the mage" and "endoscopy" belong to the 0 ring trick, but the function is completely different, the difference is that the structure of the two is different.

To learn a new spell, you must first determine that you have the corresponding spell position. The next highlight is to disassemble and analyze the spell's configuration, sort out its structure clearly, and understand the rules of operation. .

The structure of most spells can be divided into three types of elements: seeds, rules, and materials.

"Seed" is the basic module for determining the characteristics of spells. It is usually composed of several long or short character strings. For example, "seed" of "Mage's Hand" is "force field" and "remote control".

The "rule" element covers a wider range, including the method of casting, the scope of action, the difficulty of exemption, etc., which is equivalent to a programmed "grammar" or "algorithm".

The casting rules are not unchangeable, but changing the rules often means that a higher mana energy level needs to be called, for which reason a higher number of spell slots have to be used. There are countless techniques for changing the casting rules, collectively known as "super magic." For example, using the super-magic technique of "Spell Spelling" and "Mage's Hand", you can eliminate the chanting of spells at the cost of raising a spell level-you need to use at least 1 ring of spell slots to silently ring 0. The Master's Hand".

The final element of the spell structure is the "casting material". Some spells must be matched with specific materials or instruments to be successfully displayed, and the effectiveness of such spells is also closely related to the materials. If you change the casting materials, it will either cause the spell to fail or change the function of the spell.

For example, 2-ring "cobweb" requires a little spider silk as a casting material. After the casting is successful, a large sticky and tough web will be created, covering the space specified by the caster, or entangled with a specific target. If the material is changed during the casting process, such as replacing the spider silk with a silkworm cocoon, the "spider web" that the spell should have created will become a large piece of raw silk satin, and this spell is no longer "spider web" , Called "textile" is more appropriate.

When Qiao An saw the description of "cobweb" mutating into "textile" in his book, he had a sudden thought: Since "textile" can create a large piece of silk with a small amount of silk, is it not a shortcut to get rich?

With the deepening of his knowledge of magic, he later had to give up this naive idea. No matter the spider web or the satin created by the spell, it can't be preserved for a long time. When the magic power is exhausted, these magic creations will disappear automatically. "Textile" does not make the honest and honest caster rich overnight, but opens a convenient door for fraudsters.

The analysis is based on the three elements that make up the spell. This is the basic method most wizards in the Valais world use. This arcane analysis method seems simple, in fact, every link contains countless details, the more in-depth exploration, the more complicated. In the final analysis, human beings have learned the mysteries of magic from elves. Most of the existing spell spells are still written in elven language-also known as "Qunya". In order to fully understand the operation of spells, Qiao An At the same time of parsing the structure of the spell, I had to translate the elven language into a less precise human language. As a result, this work became more complicated. A subtle translation error would lead to a misleading, wasting a lot of time and energy. .

The mage's analysis of the efficiency of a new spell depends mainly on his knowledge accumulation and intelligence level. Probably because of the improvement of two points of intellectual attributes by "Tears of God", Joan felt that his brain was turning very fast today, and the analysis of "Frozen Rays" was proceeding smoothly.

Now he has completed the first stage-about the deconstruction of the "seed" of the spell, and analyzed that "frozen rays" belong to the "cold" sub-category of the "plastic energy school", and the most critical spell activation characters have also been successfully deciphered. .

"Frozen Ray" does not need to add any casting materials, eliminating an element. Joan's next job is to analyze the casting rules, and this is precisely the most complicated and difficult part of all spell elements.

Qiao An worked hard until late at night, and finally the drug effect of "Tears of God" was finally no match for the physical and mental exhaustion accumulated by long-term high-intensity mental work. Qiao An found that his headaches were getting worse and he could no longer concentrate and had to concentrate. Temporarily looking away from the book, I felt the stomach and intestines twitched due to excessive hunger, the abdomen was burning uncomfortably, the heart thumped, and I could not lift a trace of energy.

Joan drank the cold water in the toast and settled down. He stood up hard and walked into the kitchen to swallow a piece of dry bread. Inadvertently found that the window in the next bedroom was still open, walked over and glanced, and saw Kandy sitting on the bed through the window, lowering his head, his forehead pressed against his knee, his hands covering his sides of the forehead. very painful.

Joan stared at her for a while outside the window, turned back to the kitchen, wrote a note first, and then put the rest of the food on the plate, along with the note and sent it to the window of Conti’s bedroom, gently Place on the desk next to the window.
