Chapter 375: Master of Provocation
As a successful spellcaster, what do you need to do most and what do you want to do?
The answer is simple, fill up your empty spell list as soon as possible to greatly increase your combat power.
The caster's progress is the most difficult, but the increase in each rank is also huge, and unlike the overall basic ability improvement of other classes, the caster's advancement only represents a simple thing - more higher-level spells.
The increase in the upper limit of mana power has made the casting of spells with higher rings a reality, the casting power has increased significantly, and more spell options have also represented an increase in the number of situations that can be dealt with, and the adaptability to the environment and the battlefield has been greatly enhanced.
It can be said that there may be no change in the physical fitness of the caster, and even the body becomes more fragile and emaciated due to excessive immersion in magic energy, but more spell options can still increase the upper and lower limits of a caster in all aspects.
For Rorschach, this is even more so.
The fourth order was promoted to the fifth order, and the awakening of the soul emblem was really promoted from the general public to the cutting-edge level, and at this time, Rorschach could try to master the high-level spells of the fifth and sixth rings.
For some reason, although Rorschach can cast a lot of spells, the number of spells he can actually master is very limited, and a considerable part of them are still natural magic of rangers, and pure arcane magic is very, very small.
It's not a big deal, as I said earlier, successful mages will choose to fill their spell lists as soon as possible, and Rorschach thinks so and does so....... but Rorschach soon encounters a new trouble, a completely unexpected one.
"....... you asked me to cast the spell of the fifth ring to give me the fifth-order certification, and with the certification, I can learn the spell required by the fifth-order, I ....... I will still come to you for the fifth-order spell!!"
Rorschach is caught up in the problem of chicken-and-egg or egg-and-egg chicken, and even more tragic is the union window staff who are overwhelmed by his magical power.
The trembling staff was trying to explain the rules of their union to the angry archmage, but they kept complaining in their hearts, a mage who couldn't spell at the same level, where did this come out of the countryside.
"Your Excellency Archmage, I really didn't deliberately embarrass you, this is just a rule, if there are no spells with more than five rings, three four-ring spells are also possible. β
"....... if I had three four-ring spells, would I still come?"
In the Land of Mages, it is actually very easy to certify the qualifications of a spellcaster, as long as you find the staff of the Mage Guild and cast a spell on the spot.
What level of spell caster releases what spell is not at a glance and cannot be faked at all.
And only if you prove your rank, the spell information of the higher ring will be open to you....... of course, there is no gratuitous, the knowledge of high-level spells is expensive to death, and "knowledge is valuable" is the most commonly used mantra of spellcasters.
Limiting the rank is a must, and if the spells above the five rings can be forcibly cast, it is probably a blessing to just kill yourself, and it is basically a block that will be blown up.
But the stipulation is dead, people are alive, and on the line between life and death, everyone needs a killer hand, desperately mastering one or two high-level spells that are suitable for each other, and fighting at a critical moment is already the unspoken rule of the spellcaster.
Although there is a high chance of killing yourself and your teammates as a result, there is at least one chance to fight than to wait for death without hope.
As an organization of spellcasters, the Mage's Guild of Mages will not encourage this kind of suicide, at least in official channels, even if you are willing to spend money, you can't buy higher-level spells.
But I'm afraid that the people who designed this rule didn't expect that someone would have a problem in the certification, not only could they not get a spell with the same ring, but they couldn't even get three spells of the lower order.
Rorschach is so angry, he has racked his brains, and he can't squeeze out three or three four-ring spells.
Originally, he used the rarest power of the natural elements (rare among mages and common among druids), and there were few types of spells, most of which were abilities such as animal summoning and storm summoning.
And the newly awakened soul emblem has once again screened the list of spells, and all spells other than crafting items and transforming items cannot be used, and Rorschach's already barren spell list is instantly reduced by 95%.
The four rings are already considered high-level spells, and there are not many of Rorschach........s natural spells will be re-classified, although the natural spells that have been re-taught have barely reached this level, but the more priority must be more practical healing abilities, and now they can't use the cannon fodder creations summoned by level of spells, and Rorschach really can't look down on them.
I remember a few of the natural spells of the four rings, and the spell of "group tree people awakening" should be able to be used, but the spell that has not been practiced once before, and most of them are blown up in the hand........ and the spell of the lower ring is still unsuccessful on the spot, and Rorschach doesn't want to become famous so soon.
"Didn't this plan start with a smash in the first place?"
Originally, Rorschach had a full set of plans, but now he is frustrated when he goes out, let alone studying, and he doesn't even know where to earn today's accommodation fee.
His plan is very simple, to come to the mage union is to get a notarization first, he didn't bring much gold at all when he was in a hurry to teleport and run, and now he can't afford to pay the price even if he learns the five-ring spell.
But with the caster's rank certification, it's easy to say, just find a magic club to join, you can not only mix an identity, but also get enough gold coins for living, studying, and researching, and you can also get more spell information through the club.
In fact, given the high fees of official channels and guilds, most spellcasters acquire new magical knowledge by joining magical societies, research institutes, and mage associations.
In the country of mages, the ability to cast spells is the best pass and ID card, and there are too many mages who step into the forbidden area and involve too many taboos, and the black identity is nothing.
But as a result, Rorschach was stuck in the initial steps of this identity verification, and he was anxious enough.
"If I continue like this, I will sleep under the bridge and in the hollow of the tree, no, I can build a tree house, and it should not be so miserable that I will sleep on the street. β
Of course, he can explain that this is a negative effect caused by the soul emblem, so that most of his spell list is scrapped, and he can also use the effect of the artifact Book of Ten Thousand Laws to forcibly cast the five-ring spell....... but the former is equivalent to directly exposing a person's last hole cards and weaknesses, and the latter is to take the initiative to find death.
The difference between the treatment of a fourth-order mage and a fifth-order mage is more than ten times, and it is a super loss for Luo Xia Jue to casually participate in a mage club as a fourth-order mage.
"....... or not, I'll put you to the test. Although even if winning will not be able to develop a higher-level spell profile for you, it will give you a rank certification and complete the mage registration on your behalf. β
The staff's words made Rorschach's eyes light up.
This is not only a rule for mages, but also for the verification of each profession, as long as you defeat a professional of the same level, you can naturally be regarded as an existence above the same level.
"Good. β
Rorschach nodded repeatedly, he hadn't eaten anything along the way, he was already hungry.
After completing the registration of the mage, the union still has some benefits, at least the working meals on a la carte will not charge for the high-level mage, and the upstairs rooms seem to be provided for free, as well as hot water baths.
"I'll arrange for a fourth-order mage ......"
"No, fifth-order, hurry up, I have something urgent (to go to dinner in a hurry). β
"....... can't find the archmage right now......"
"Isn't that what it is?"
Rorschach suddenly pointed to an archmage at the counter, who was also the caster of the Five Rings mark, and had a large beard.
"He, Archmage Anthony, he's not ......"
The young staff member hurriedly shook his head, it seems that this is not the staff here?
"Young man, I've been watching for a long time, I can help with this little favor. But are you sure you want to fight me? I'm also a fifth-order, but I'm not ordinary......."
"It's okay, I usually hang and beat the fifth order. β
The young man smiled flatly, but what he said made everyone in the hall look at him.
"This guy is too arrogant. β
"The magic power is indeed up to the standard, but you can't even use three four-ring spells, and you dare to call yourself a mage?"
"The young man's ambition is like this, and he needs to be taught a lesson by the old-timers. β
Rorschach is a little aggrieved, this damn natural ability, always messes with himself at critical moments.
"Actually, I can also hang a sixth-order with an average level. β
Well, the teenager has the urge to cover his mouth and open his mouth, and when he gets the money, he must remember to buy a mask first.
Archmage Anthony also smiled when he heard this, the smile was light, but the sparks mobilized by the white beard, and the right hand that held the staff and trembled, were obviously not so calm.
"Ha, that's a coincidence, I'm here to replace the Xinpu Sixth Order of the emblem, and I also ask the 'senior' for your more advice. β
Well, Rorschach is helpless, the situation can't be worse, this ridicule is full of ten.
"Well, I'll just let you have a right hand (you can't use it anyway). β
Obviously, Rorschach is still too naΓ―ve, pulling ridicule this kind of thing, as long as he wants to do it, how can there be an upper limit, how can this mouth stop,
"Huh!"
The old man's beard was upside down, and the fire was overflowing, and this anger could not be concealed.
