Rod picked up the books and looked them through.

Among these books, one has "Expert Water Magic" on the cover, another "Advanced Mysticism", and the last one is the blue-robed mage's magic book, which records all the spells mastered by the blue-robed mage.

Of the three books, the first two deal with higher-level special skills. In the Wizarding Guilds, books on special skills require a high price to obtain, especially this "Expert Water Magic", which is extremely valuable in its own right due to the expert skills involved.

For mages who need these special skills, these books are worth far more than ordinary magical items. But for Rhodes, the first two books were much less valuable.

Due to the extremely slow speed of learning special skills on his own, and the lack of pre-skills for these skills, Rhodes was unable to learn the special skills recorded in the book, so he had to wait until the Magic Guild to find a way to sell the book.

After putting the two books into the space ring, Rhodes set his sights on the blue-robed mage's magic book. With the magic book in his hand, Rhodes began to flip through it.

In the first half of the spellbook, the blue-robed mage records some of the events he experienced from his own perspective, including tryst with a female apprentice in the magic academy, expulsion from the magic academy for stealing treasures, befriending Yusher and joining the merchant group, and so on.

The blue-robed mage apparently didn't expect to die here, and the magic book fell into the hands of the enemy. The first half of the spellbook is more like a blue-robed mage's record of his important experiences. After the events of various events, the revelations and lessons learned by the blue-robed mages are recorded in detail in the magic books.

Looking at the first half of the spellbook, Rhodes was not surprised, many official mages would record in their spellbooks the deeds that had a great impact on him, as well as his various thoughts.

For mages, spellbooks are not only a vehicle for recording various spells, but also a solud in the process of studying various spells for many years. Looking through the magic book, it is as if you see yourself who once pursued magic.

Rhodes flipped the spellbook to the back and began to look at the spells recorded in the second half of the spellbook.

"By reading the magic book, you have learned the first-order spells [Weakness], [Water Resistance], and [Fire Resistance]."

"[Weak and Weak Lv1]: First-order water magic. Consumes 6 mana, reduces the strength of an enemy by 2 for 30 seconds. Experience required to level up: 10. ”

"[Water Thaumaturgy Lv1]: First-Order Water Magic. Consumes mana 5, reducing the amount of water magic damage taken by a unit by 10% for 15 seconds. XP required to level up: 5. ”

"[Fire Resistance Thaumaturgy Lv1]: First-Order Fire Magic. Consumes 5 mana, reducing the amount of fire magic damage taken by a unit by 10% for 15 seconds. XP required to level up: 5. ”

In addition to these spells, the spellbook also records the [Thunderbolt Ice] and [Ice Ring] that the blue-robed mage used earlier. However, both of these spells are second-order spells, and in order to learn them, Rhodes needs to increase the level of wisdom.

Creatures of the same tier with similar strength will have more experience from the caster than the melee class. After killing the blue-robed mage, Rhodes gained 410 experience points, which, together with the remaining experience points from earlier, was enough for Rhodes to level up.

"Consume 500 XP and have 290 XP remaining. Raise your class level to Tier 2 Swordsman Rank 6......"

"Get 1 free attribute point, get 1 skill point......"

Rhodes uses skill points and chooses to learn intermediate wisdom.

(Intermediate Wisdom: Through the study of various low-level spells, your comprehension of spells will be improved.) After parsing the various spells, your mind becomes more open-minded and you are able to master more difficult spells, and you begin to realize the importance of spells. You can learn second-order spells. ）

After learning the Intermediate Wisdom Technique, Rhodes was able to quickly master the second-order spells recorded in the Magic Book.

The function of wisdom is to help players quickly master the spells of the corresponding level, eliminating the boring learning and practice process. In addition, some magic ceremonies also require a high level of wisdom.

Rhodes looked back at the magic book in his hand.

"By reading the magic book, you learned the second-order spells [Thunderbolt Ice] and [Ice Ring]."

"[Thunderbolt Ice Lv1]: Second-order water magic. Consumes 12 mana and condenses an ice arrow to strike the enemy, dealing 30 damage. Experience required to level up: 20. ”

"[Ice Ring Lv1]: Second-order water magic. Consumes 16 mana and releases the Ice Ring to attack nearby enemies, taking no damage from the center of the Ice Ring. Deals up to 20 damage, decreasing as the Ice Ring spreads. Experience required to level up is 40. ”

Due to the lack of special skills and the low level of spells, although Rhodes learned these spells, the effect of casting them was not as good as that of the blue-robed mage.

The increase in the effect of spells mainly comes from several aspects.

First of all, it is a special skill corresponding to the four systems of magic of water, fire, earth and air, which can greatly increase the effect of magic and reduce the consumption of mana when casting.

Since a special skill only corresponds to one series of spells, when the rank is not high, mages generally only choose one series of magic to learn, and at the same time master the special skills corresponding to the magic of that system. Like the blue-robed mage before, he specialized in water magic.

Psychic attributes also affect the effectiveness of spells. The higher the mage's mental attributes, the stronger the spell effect.

For damage spells, the damage value is equal to the base damage of the spell itself, plus the bonus from the mental attribute.

The rank of a spell determines the coefficient of the bonus value of the spirit attribute, which is why the damage dealt by high-level spells is much higher than that of low-level spells.

Psychic attributes only affect the duration of spells related to buffs and weakens, but have no effect on the specific values of boosts and weakens.

In addition, increasing the level of a spell can also increase the effect of the spell.

For damage-based spells, increasing the spell level only increases the spell's base damage, and has no effect on the bonus factor of mental attributes.

For status spells, increasing the spell level can affect the effect of the spell.

In addition to the two types of spells, damage and status, there are also special spells, the effects of which are only related to the special skills of the four series of magic.

In addition to the effect of releasing skills, mana is equally important when it affects mages. The mana is sufficient, and even if a single spell doesn't have the desired effect, it can be compensated for by multiple releases.

At this time, Rhodes still had 2 free attribute points left, and in order to improve his strength as soon as possible, Rod allocated these 2 attribute points to knowledge attributes.
