Rhodes knew a lot about Potions.

In the game of Rod's previous life, after this Potions competition, Potions was vigorously developed in Bracada.

Even the coming war only created some resistance to the development of Potions.

On the contrary, when the war ended, Bracada did not collapse because of this, but instead vigorously developed the affairs of the country as if it had been reborn.

Among them, there are traces of the development of potions, and the mages have relied on their own efforts to turn the momentum of potion research and development from curses and negative effects at the beginning to various buffs.

It can be said that with the progress of the expansion, by the time of Rod's time, almost all mages had knowledge about potions and were able to refine some potions. But now, for the mages who participate in the Academy's extravaganza, Potions is an extremely foreign discipline.

Due to the experience of his previous life, in addition to the recipes of some potions, Rhodes also has insights far beyond the current mages, which is why Rhodes has the confidence to participate in this potions event.

Looking at the mages refining potions on the field, even if it is just a simple and crude process, in Rhodes' eyes, it is also full of various loopholes.

As for Potions, Bracada has not yet formed a complete discipline, and the study of some of these matters can only be relied on by the mages themselves.

In the venue of the first test, there were also a few people who caught Rod's attention, and these people also took the initiative to choose to complete the potion refining, but compared with the previous man, the control during refining was still much worse.

It can be said that in the potions competition held by the Ice Blue Spell Academy, the man before was the one who knew the most about potions.

Mages attach great importance to potion formulas, and in the process of refining potions, they will deliberately change the original form of the materials and use them directly from the space ring, so they don't have to worry about their recipes being discovered by other mages.

At this time, the Eagle Eye Technique can play some role, and if you are lucky, you have a certain chance to analyze the materials in the mage's hand, but only one of the materials can be analyzed.

If you want to cooperate with Eagle Eye and master the recipes in the hands of other mages, you still need the mages themselves to have a certain degree of knowledge in potions.

Due to the special nature of Potions, there are no special skills dedicated to Potions.

What Potions requires is a series of special skills related to the mage itself. The regulation of the refining of potions belongs to the mastery of basic skills by the mage, and the special skills of the four magic systems can significantly enhance this.

The recipe for potions is similar to occult and alchemy, which requires the mage to master the properties of the relevant substances in order to make some changes during the refining.

Since there is no such special skill at all, even if Rhodes has a lot of skill points left, he will not be able to directly increase the skill level of Potions.

Potions is an extremely broad aspect, requiring a certain level of skill from the mage himself in order to delve into it.

Fortunately, Rhodes mastered the mystic art of the nature of potions and raised it to an advanced level.

In the process of refining potions, the choice of refining materials is extremely important. How to choose the refining materials, and determine whether the nature of the refining materials is appropriate, depends on the skill level of the master's occult and alchemy.

For Rhodes, if he raised the level of the special skill of alchemy, he would be able to affect the potions he made, but Rhodes did not have this idea.

Unlike Potions, alchemy encompasses a wide range of aspects, from the crafting of materials to the creation of golem golems.

In the life of a mage, alchemy also played a very wide role, and it can be said that Bracada was able to achieve its former glory, and alchemy played an extremely important role in this.

For the study of alchemy, it is not enough to learn special skills, it still takes a lot of time for the mage to achieve something.

For the current Rhodes, alchemy is not very helpful. Although Rhodes was able to create some special potions through alchemy, these potions did not meet the rules of the potions competition.

Since potions originated from sorcerers, the types of potions are naturally extremely confusing, and in addition to potions that can produce effects when taken directly, there are also potions that are applied directly to the surface of the target to produce effects.

Among them, the vast majority of potions created through alchemical knowledge belong to the latter potions.

Both potions are equally versatile and can have very different effects, but since this potions competition is designated as a potion that can be taken and has a positive effect, alchemy is not very helpful to the mage.

It was precisely because of this that even though he knew that alchemy could improve the type of potions he could refine, Rhodes did not learn it.

After a long period of research by mages on refining potions, how to mix various refining materials to form the best way to refine a potion, so as to form a fixed potion formula, which is treasured by various mages.

Rhodes, who was observing the mages in the initial examination, could clearly see that few of these mages were refining according to the potion formula, and most of them were refining potions according to their own understanding of the properties of the materials.

When refining potions, these mages could not determine what materials to add and how much to add, and often added more materials to one of them to make up for it.

If there is no clear recipe for the potion, the effect of the potion will vary greatly, and even if it is successfully refined, it may just depend on luck.

At this time, it can reflect the master's background, whether he has mastered a lot of rare formulas in the process of previous research.

Rhodes knew that in the finals of the Potions Competition, for those mages whose refining skills were not much different, the quality of the Potions formula often directly determined the outcome of the Potions Competition.

Potion recipes are not fixed, and mages can change the ingredients in the recipe according to their knowledge to get potions with a changed effect.

The emergence of potion recipes requires mages to spend a lot of time researching, controlling the amount of materials to be put in, and refining them over and over again, in order to get the best recipe for the same potion.

In the course of the game in his previous life, Rhodes happened to have mastered several powerful potion recipes, which were enough to deal with this potions competition.

After observing for a while, due to the repetitive process of refining potions, Rowling gradually lost interest in observing.

Seeing this, Rod led Rowling out of the venue.
