Chapter 272: The Ladder Up
The Forge's Sage is the name that Rorschach gave to his fourth-order professional.
Although the posture on the battlefield is a little strange, no matter from that point of view, it is not wrong to be a spell-casting profession, but it still attracts the attention of many experts and scholars, and it is not without reason.
"Caster, of course, is the caster, pays mana as capital, uses mana to construct and fill the spell model, and uses the spell model to control and control the power of specific elements, this is the most common battle mode of the caster, but the type of elemental power controlled by this class is somewhat special. ”
Although he could not understand and trust, Rorschach remembered the basic theory of the caster very well.
The source of all the magic in the main plane of Ash is the four elemental magic, and the four basic elements of earth, fire, water, and wind are not only the cornerstones of the material world, but the elemental mages who control these four elements are still the casters with the largest population base.
A long history does not mean that it is powerful, but there is enough time for a sufficient number of mages to appear, and a sufficient number of mages have naturally studied a large number of spell models and new magic, and finally formed a complete set of spell casting systems and learning ladders, and no one can count how many kinds of spells there are in the four basic element magic, because this number is increasing greatly every day.
Rorschach has a unique (incomprehensible) understanding of this, and he directly treats the caster type as hardware (), and the new spell and knowledge accumulation as road application software........ so naturally the type with the most software and the more accumulation suitable for various situations, the more popular it is.
Direct killing, restraint, healing, defense, and alien summoning, these are common battlefield needs, and the four major elemental magic can be taken out casually.
Even other types of specialized mages often practice the four elemental magics at the same time, because they are so easy to use, and with the accumulation and knowledge system of their predecessors, it is not difficult to learn.
The enchantment magic of the silver elves, the necromancy of the northern mountains, the totem magic of the orcs, many races and countries have their own special magic, and the casters of a race and race tend to be one class, and the accumulation and inheritance of history will give strength to the latecomers.
It can be seen that the rules of the caster are the opposite of those in the legend, and the more users there are, the easier it is to learn and advance, and the more powerful they are in actual combat.
The protagonists of the saga who "only I can control the magical element" have to face an extremely embarrassing problem - there is no corresponding software support.
"Only I can control the elements" = "There is no precedent" = "There is no mature system or even a formed magic" = "I rely on my own research" = "I don't have enough intelligence to study new magic is equivalent to a lifetime of squibs" = "Even if I research a few magics, my combat power is probably weak"
Rorschach is such an unlucky guy.
Under the influence of the Titan Realm, he was eroded by Ansolen's rules, so it was natural for him to advance to an elemental harness that the Ash world did not have.
In the research of experts, the element he manipulates is "steel".
Yes, the steel of steel, which is an element that cannot be recognized in Ash.
Because steel is originally a synthetic concept, it is a material with iron as the main element and other elements mixed in.
Rorschach tried, and although he was able to control pure iron, it was very laborious, and he could control synthetic metals made of other metal elements except for steel, which was made of iron elements.
"The Forge Sage does not actually correspond to a certain elemental metal, but rather to the concepts of 'synthetic metal alloys' and 'metal creations made of alloys',"
This is Rorschach's understanding of his profession, and adding the forge to the name of the profession is already the most direct interpretation of its essence.
"Purifying and manufacturing elemental metals and using them to make metal components and battlefield weapons is probably how this profession is used. ”
Thankfully, modern magic technology has given steel creatures enough combat power, and Rorschach will not fall to the point of knocking people with steel blocks.
This understanding is not wrong, but in the eyes of professional spellcasters, it is too crude.
"What's the difference between this and taking mana, forming a big fireball, and throwing it out? ”
"No, it's still stronger than a pure turret, and it's more like the classical ice method, where water is created first, then ice cubes are frozen, and finally thrown out. ”
".......Well, one more program is twice as complicated. ”
"As a caster of wisdom, one magic power must exert at least three times more combat power, you are ten magic power, and one combat power is not desirable, it is not desirable. ”
In the mouths of the hired spellcasters, Rorschach's use of magic was likened to that of a primitive man with a wooden stick, one of which had been sharpened into a wooden spear.
Hearing them say this, Rorschach was not annoyed at the time, because this was the truth from the bottom of their hearts, but when he asked them how they could improve the casting method....... they couldn't say it one by one, and the squeezed out plans sounded very reasonable, but Rorschach knew that even the advocates felt that they were talking in their dreams.
In fact, Rorschach also understands that spellcasters are very valuable, and it is too easy to find a job, and the casters who can be hired by the game church are probably limited.
It's no problem for them to throw a few spells according to the diagram, and it's no problem for them to find some problems and pick thorns, after all, keyboard warriors are all born....... ahem, let them study new spell models, and become a researcher instead of a user, it's too difficult for a strong man.
[If you really have this level, you will have been doing research in the Cloud Tower for a long time, and you will come out to work....... don't look at me, your sister and I are the same age as you, and I have been dead for several years, it is still okay to be a spell user, the researcher will at least let me live for five more years first, and wait for me to take a degree first. 】
Luo Li's words even made Rorschach hesitate whether to study in the Cloud Tower for two years, after all, it is impossible for him not to advance, and his own strength is the foundation of survival.
But the mess that the game church faced at the beginning also made it impossible for him to leave Thor and Anthoreen, and he had to give up in the end.
In a sense, Lori and Isabella took over Rorschach's burden and let him act freely, to a considerable extent, for this reason.
The advancement of the caster is completely different from other professions, this is a profession that uses the brain, in most cases, brute force cannot advance and will only regress, and knowledge and wisdom are the steps to the next level.
These things can't be held back in New Tonia City, and Rorschach has now decided to enter the no-man's land to meet the high-threat Titan, which is actually the main reason.
"The caster of 'Steel' is the caster of the Titan system, and if you can get the knowledge inheritance of the Titan, you can save a lot of years and accumulation......."
Luo Li and Isabella are also spellcasters, they naturally know that since they have advanced to this profession, there are some things that cannot be escaped, and with their support, after falling behind in the important tasks in their hands, Rorschach made up his mind to step into no man's land.
But what Rorschach didn't expect was perhaps a huge gain in the War of the Evil Gods
