Chapter 22: The Mage School and Taste
Back in the days of the Library, Orondo knew that there were many factions of magic.
Unlike the "original plot", there are only three kinds of simple and crude, fire, ice, and arcane, and the real-life Azeroth magic classification is very detailed.
After careful elaboration by the mentor and the difference between the casters of Azeroth, Orondo finally had a clear idea.
It's not like those who are born with spells, or who learn magic in a mess.
Quel'Salas and Dalaran, a group of mages who have been inherited and studied for thousands of years, have systems and standards for academics that are more scientific.
In the theories of Dalaran and Quel'Thalas, magic is divided into eight major schools.
Among these eight academic schools, there are many various elementary schools, and the entanglement between the different schools will form a greater number of spell schools.
Moreover, in addition to these eight schools, there are actually one or two schools that are not very good at which school they are divided into, and they are not listed among the eight schools but have their own status.
In the world of academic mages, the eight conventional schools are protection, summoning, divination, enhancement, illusion, channeling, transformation, and energy molding.
"You have to remember." After introducing the eight collegiate factions, Solanlian warned Orondo as well.
"Among these eight schools, there is a taboo existence. That's the psychic school, and you are absolutely not allowed to let anyone know that you are studying it. ”
Don't let people know that they're studying the psychic system? It means that if no one knows, they can study it?
That's how Orondo understands it.
Solan Lian also introduced some of the differences between the eight schools.
For example, the protection system.
The Protective Mage School, dedicated to the study of various protective magic, is one of the important courses that young mages must take.
The most common protective spell is the Mana Shield, which converts a small amount of mana into a magic barrier that protects the caster from harm.
Others, such as various large enchantments, various spell armor, elemental armor, etc., are all spells of the protection school.
When introducing the school of protection, Solan Lian also made a point of emphasizing that the High Elf prince Kael'thas Sunstrider is one of the famous students of protective magic.
As one of the top mages, Kael'thas excelled in all areas of the school of magic, but his comprehension of protective magic is even more remarkable, almost as talented as the prince in shaping fire.
In the School of Protection, Prince Kael'thas has created an alienated mana shield that no one in Dalaran has been able to surpass to date.
With this creation, the elven prince became an indisputable member of the Council of Six in Dalaran.
Another example is the illusion system.
Illusion magic is the art of obscuring the truth. The fog of illusions makes the caster's images and voices difficult to capture, as if they have disappeared from this world; Or distort the scene of an area into something completely different.
Illusion magic is often used to disguise or manipulate others, and the sworn enemy of illusions is divination.
Contrary to popular belief, illusion magic is not a simple and cheap trick. Among the spells of this school, the most famous is invisibility.
This is one of the indispensable life-saving skills of a battle mage. Only battlemages are often in danger, so they must master a quick and effective strategic retreat.
Illusion magic can also be used to confuse enemies, misjudge the caster's location, or even cause enemies to kill each other. It's not easy, but masters of illusion magic can successfully drive a wedge between their enemies – and turn them into allies.
In the library, Solan Liane influenced Orondo's spells, which were Astral Sorcererer spells that combined the augmentation and illusion systems.
The beautiful tutor also introduced Orondo to her school by the way.
Astrology is a genre between summoning and sculpting, plus some mysterious divination and illusion spells, forming this special spell system.
The enchantment and space teleportation spells that Orondo is most interested in belong to the enhancement and transformation systems, respectively.
The so-called enhancement system is the process of using magical energy to strengthen the item or spellcaster, and its effect is divided into two types: temporary and permanent - so in fact, some people call the enhancement system the enchantment school.
As for the transformation system of the school where the teleportation spell is located, it allows the transformation magic to allow the mage to manipulate time and space, and is the most commonly used and practical magic of all schools.
The signature spell of transformation magic is Transfiguration, which allows a mage to turn an item or person into something else, such as a sheep.
Another signature spell of transformation magic is teleportation. The most basic teleportation magic is Flash, which is recognized as one of the most useful spells.
Spells that manipulate time also fall under the category of transformation.
At the same time, the beautiful tutor also said that although the eight schools are clearly divided, in fact, they can actually be combined with each other.
One of the most well-known examples of this combination is the Slow Fall, which encompasses the concepts of the two schools of magic, the Enhancement and the Transformation Technique.
Solanlian spoke a lot about Orondo's first lesson, and she talked about it for a long time.
"Okay." Finally she said.
"That's pretty much it."
"Now you can tell me, which faction do you prefer? If it's not clear, don't rush to say it. ”
"Maybe you go a little further down the road of truth, and you will know which way you should go."
Orondo nodded.
The first lesson of the beautiful tutor finally gave him a systematic concept of magic.
He groaned inwardly, and then couldn't help but ask the Eye of Truth for his opinion.
"Eyes of Truth, which factions do you think I should choose? Personally, I like enhancement, transformation, and plasticity. ”
[According to the analysis of the host's energy phase, it is speculated that the host is suitable for the following factions: protection, summoning, divination, enhancement, illusion, channeling, transformation, and plasticity]
"Huh? So much! Wait, it seems like all factions have it?! ”
[This is an analysis based on the energy phase of the host, which has a strong reference value]
Whole school?
Almighty factions?
Orondo couldn't help but frown.
Solan Lian saw it and comforted him, "Don't rush to choose. It was only after I became an official mage for many years that I chose my current path as a mage. Telling you this so early just wants you to prepare early, so that you can avoid many detours. ”
Orondo nodded.
"Thank you, Mentor."
Solanlian smiled silently.
This is the second time she has laughed in front of Orondo's eyes, which makes Orondo think that her mentor is very beautiful to laugh at.
In Solan Lian's eyes, Orondo, who was young and just up to her shoulders, made her feel a little bit of motherhood. At the same time, the arcane scent of his body was pleasant to the astrowizard - yes, the arcane scent.
Not like a human or a half-elf.
One of the High Elves who grew up in Quel'Salas and grew up smelling the particles of the Sunwell, even if they are not mages, will have the arcane sense of smell.
This arcane sense of smell allows the High Elves to distinguish between the different arcane scents of each law creature.
So when trying to trick the High Elves with illusion magic, mages also have to consider the deception of arcane scents.
"He smells so good...... It's a pity that half of the bloodline is human, and he is still the son of Leanda. The sorcerer thought to himself.
Suddenly.
Solan Lian's pupils dilated, and her small and beautiful nose twitched a few times, as if she was carefully distinguishing what the smell was.
In fact, it is.
"What's going on? His taste has changed! ”
Then Orondo said to his mentor.
"Well thought out. Mentor, according to Quel'Salas, I have chosen for me my own school, my future path to the mage! ”
Solanlian was trying to inhale through her nose, trying to smell more of the arcane smell that smelled so good that she felt a little hot in her body.
"What do you say......" she hummed almost in a nasal voice.
Orondo, who was immersed in his own world, did not notice the abnormality of his mentor, and he said slowly, "I think my path as a mage should be—"
"Omniscient!"
In the last four words, his tone was categorical and very firm.
Say yes after saying this.
Orondo is in Solanlian's eyes, no, I should say it's in the nose.
He smelled better.
