Chapter 33: Prohibition of Soul Magic
While accumulating strength, Manyu also took the time to look around, his eyebrows suddenly raised, and a trace of clarity flashed on his face.
He had indeed passed a staircase before, but this staircase was not spiral, but straight up and down, and it was only six or seven meters from top to bottom.
The staircase was not as narrow as the infinite corridor illusion in which his soul consciousness had been before, enough for two carriages to run side by side.
Manyu was now lying at the bottom of the stairs, in a corridor of the same width, and a dozen meters away, there was another large door.
I don't know what magic is arranged in the corridor, the whole is shrouded in a soft light, the whole body is bright, there is no half of the corners, the surroundings are not paved with silver obsidian, smooth as a mirror, there is no half of dust and odor, it is obvious that the walls around the corridor are covered with dust, odor, ventilation and other magic arrays, and the moldy and rotten breath that I smelled at the moment of opening the door before is just a magic illusion deliberately created by the magic illusion in order to facilitate the launch.
Those low-level constant and effective magic arrays are necessary for mages to live, as the legendary mage tower built by the legendary lich, there are no magic arrays on it, that is the real ghost.
It's like buying a house, or a presidential suite, and it's not decorated yet, who will believe it?
Manyu was purely an afterthought now, and he hadn't thought about it at all before.
But this is also normal, after all, Manyu's own soul consciousness is not native to the Warcraft Continent, but there is no magic net magic in his world, well, even magic elements are extremely scarce, and it is completely called a world insulated from magic (the magic that existed in his original world, magic is the majority, and the use of human visual illusions and hidden means is all about deception, which evolved at first for deception, and was later put on the stage and became a means of entertaining the public, and the magic of Warcraft Continent are completely two concepts).
How can you expect a soul consciousness who has grown up in a magical insulated world to associate with magic when he encounters trouble?
What's more, the elf Remy's reckless actions made Manyu a little out of proportion.
At the top of the stairs, there are two figures, one large and one small, except for the skeleton mage Chris and the elf who couldn't catch up with Manyu all the way?
The two guys only took one step up the stairs, not even the first step.
The elf desperately flapped a pair of translucent wings, but there seemed to be an invisible magic on her body to bind her, even if she flew fast, it was still spinning in place, sweating, sweating like rain, obviously this little guy didn't know how long he had been flying, his eyes were dull, tears were rolling in his eyes, and he looked like he was about to cry.
The Endless Corridor Magic Illusion is a kind of soul illusion, and it does not affect the human body, but the soul of the recipient directly, one soul and one illusion.
This is the reason why there is a kind of illusion in the same middle, but the brute jade can't catch up with them no matter how much he chases, because the illusion where the three are is not the same illusion.
Manyu knows very well what kind of torture it is to people in the absolutely dark and never-ending environment of the Endless Corridor, which means that there is no hope, and before you know it, your mind will be consumed by endless fear.
Even people who have experienced a lot of ups and downs like Manyu, and people who have been tempered with a lot of will and perseverance, have almost been taken away by it, not to mention the elf who has not grown up to be a child, and the little guy can hold on to it until now and has not given up the struggle, which is beyond Manyu's expectations.
Compared to the elf Remy, who has been trying to rush out of the endless illusion, the performance of the skeleton mage Chris is a bit of an outlier.
Chris didn't spin in place, but sat cross-legged on the ground, with his staff on his knees, in a standard meditation posture, if the soul fire in his eyes was in a blur, Manyu couldn't help but wonder if this guy had any illusions forbidden by magic.
The body is the reaction of the soul consciousness, and the posture that the skeleton mage's body is now in is what his soul does in the endless corridor illusion.
Could it be that this guy is meditating in the Endless Corridor Illusion?
On the two walls of the staircase more than ten meters long, every one meter there is a skull carving ornament with two swords, covered with double walls, not only double walls, but even on the ceiling, at this moment, all the skeleton heads have pure black light flowing in their eyes, making them look like living creatures, staring closely at the elves and skeleton mages with a cold and evil aura, their bodies are shrouded in a similar light in their eyes.
From a distance, it was densely packed, and the strange architectural style alone made people's scalps tingle, not to mention that now these skulls with double swords were all alive.
The Evil Soul Magic Array is the Evil Soul Magic Array, and even the construction style is not so attractive.
It's clear that they're the magical forbidden bodies that emit the illusion of the Endless Corridor.
The black glow that the skull's eyes flashed in the gate was not an illusion, but a sign that the magic ban had been opened.
I only blamed myself for being shallow in my studies, and I far underestimated the mysteriousness of soul spells, and I didn't even think that magic bans could not only be passively defensive, but also actively attack.
Open the door for people to enter, this is not red
bare
Does the naked temptation prey jump into it on its own?
If you carefully look through the Lich Bocard's memories of the Soul Magic Prohibition and the Soul Magic Circle, you will know that many soul magic prohibitions have this characteristic of actively tempting prey to jump in.
Soul-type magic bans with this feature also have one thing in common - devouring souls.
These soul-type magical prohibitions are able to claim the power of the souls of the prey that died under the magic ban, and even directly integrate them into the ban and become part of the ban. Therefore, this kind of magic prohibition has the characteristics of growth compared to ordinary magic prohibition with fixed power, and the more prey that dies under it, the stronger the power of the magic prohibition will be.
Most of the magic prohibitions inherited from antiquity are soul magic prohibitions, because even if those ordinary magic prohibitions are not broken by various races with infinite wisdom, they will slowly lose their magic elements under the erosion of time, and in the end, they will be self-defeating.
Only the soul type magic ban is not like this, the soul that is transformed into the state of the undead or put into the magic ban is eternal, and will not suffer from the erosion of the years, but because the soul will absorb the characteristics of the element's self-growth, and become more and more powerful, if a little prey is sent to the door from time to time, the magic ban will become stronger faster.
Handed down from ancient times, even an ordinary low-level soul-type magic array will become an ultra-terrifying existence under the precipitation of the years.
It is precisely because of this characteristic that even if soul magic prohibitions and magic circles are classified as evil spells, most high-end mages will study them in a light or dark alignment.
A righteous mage will use this spell to save the dead and help others.
Evil mages use this spell to take the lives and souls of others for their own personal gain.
The soul is an important part of the intelligent life, if there is a problem with the soul, it will directly act on the human body, often many people do not know it, for example, there is an idiot, he may really have a bad head, but it is very likely that he is healthy, but the soul is incomplete. According to unofficial statistics, the ratio of human body disease, physical disease and soul problem is 9:1, that is, nine out of ten patients have physical problems, and one has soul problems.
In the world of Warcraft, there is a very special profession - soul doctors, as the name suggests, they can treat wounds and diseases on the soul. Most of these doctors are part-time, and they are proficient in both the body and the soul, and few people are dedicated to the soul alone, after all, there are still most physical illnesses in the world, and only by being proficient in both things can we better judge which side is sick.
However, in the entire Warcraft Continent, the number of soul physicians is extremely small, and there are only a handful of successful cultivators and famous ones.
Because this kind of physician is so special, he directly manipulates the soul, and he really can't be trusted by strange people, mainly because their evil kind has too prominent a reputation - necromancer, a believer in death, and a purveyor of death.
What's more, the soul is a pure energy with a very high energy level, and even the gods attach great importance to it, let alone ordinary people who can manipulate the soul.
After manipulating a person's soul, you can get a lot out of it, for example, a very rich person will willingly give away all the wealth unconditionally, the effect is concentric magic, no, it is more terrifying than mental magic, at least mental magic is time-sensitive, as long as time passes, the recipient's mind will naturally recover, but ** after the soul, it is not, this is permanent! After being controlled by someone's soul, unless you have the assistance of a soul mage who is more powerful than the other party or your soul cultivation is stronger than the opponent's, you will always be controlled by others.
After becoming a soul physician, when treating other patients whose souls are diseased, he will have many such opportunities, even if he tampered with this person's soul in the process of treatment, the other party may not know it.
Therefore, the prerequisite for becoming a soul physician is to have strong enough self-control and a strong enough sense of justice.
Strong enough to resist temptations from all sides – power, materialism, desire for manipulation, beauty, etc., this temptation is constant and uninterrupted.
As long as there is the slightest deviation, the desire in the heart will want to stop the flood of the embankment and flood directly.
When a Soul Physician is no longer there to heal others, he can no longer be called a Soul Physician, but his evil kind, the Fallen Soul Mage, and may even become a Necromancer who is a follower of the Grim Reaper.
There are so few people who can resist this temptation all their lives.
Examples of the fall of the Soul Physician are not uncommon.
Therefore, even the most reputable soul physicians, people will look at them with colored glasses, in awe and away from them.
Even if they find that they have a problem with their soul, they will first go to the church to seek help from the Holy Priest, and if it is not resolved, they will consider seeking the help of a spiritual doctor.
And all those who are prejudiced against the soul physician will not let people touch their souls even if they die, and most of those who have their own beliefs do.
