Chapter 23: Magicians are a high-risk profession
The successful construction of the magic circuit allowed Ivan to step into the temple of the magician with one foot, and the other was the successful release of magic. After a certain level of magic, Ivan began to experiment with magic. For this reason, Ivan asked Teacher Lucia for advice.
The first-order spell of the fire system is the fireball technique, the simplest fire magic, but such a simple magic is also a magic array that is not simple. The magic circle of the fireball technique consists of four magic pattern functions: gathering, arranging, compressing, and propulsion. The construction of the magic array Ivan has seen Teacher Lucia demonstrate many times, and he has also simulated it in his mind, and now the magic power is enough to officially practice.
The first is to mobilize one's own magic power and build a magic array under the control of spiritual power. This step requires skilled control of magic and a good understanding of the magic array.
Anything new requires a lot of practice and adaptation, and a small fireball formation Tuivan has experienced hundreds of failures. The formation diagram relies solely on magic, and if one is not controlled well, it will get out of control and cause magic failure. Therefore, the mastery of any magic requires repeated practice, and it is difficult to practice a lot without a certain magic foundation, and forced practice will only achieve half the result.
Ivan once again mobilized his magic power and focused on building a magic array, first of all, the construction of gathering magic patterns and gathering magic power in one place.
Then there is the arrangement, through the construction of the magic pattern, the magic power will be darkened and run regularly, so that the magic power is in a state of arrangement.
The third step is compression, which is to compress the magic pattern to make the magic power gather and gather in one place.
The last is to advance, the fireball is really in your hands, and if you want to hit the enemy, you will naturally fly over, which requires a certain amount of magic as a power to push the fireball to be launched.
"It's done!"
After hundreds of drills a week, Ivan finally succeeded in building a magic array. Looking at the palm-sized red array in his hand, Ivan couldn't help but be fascinated by the charm of magic.
"This is the Fireball Magic Array, it's beautiful, it's hard to imagine how destructive it can be. Ivan unleashed his magic, and a fireball the size of an egg was generated at his fingertips, and Ivan aimed at the target in the training room, and with a "snap!" sound, it was like a big cannon battle, and the power could only make people slightly injured.
"Hey, you still need to practice chanting, and without the blessing of outside magic, magic is like a performance. Ivan couldn't help but sigh at the hard-won strength.
To put it bluntly, chanting is a way to use spiritual power to communicate with the magic of the outside world, but the violent mental fluctuations will cause the body to react, so when the magic is released, the magician seems to be chanting words. The incantation is not uttered with the mouth, but with mental power.
Recalling the slogan of the second in the middle when Daddy released the fireball technique, Ivan couldn't help but laugh secretly. In fact, this is also a way of assistance, the important thing in chanting mantras is the rhythm, and by making up some lines that match the rhythm, it can really help the chant to progress.
"But I can't do such a second act, it's too shameful!" Ivan secretly decided in his heart that he couldn't do such a thing! As long as he practiced diligently enough, this help was dispensable.
Dean Will gave Ivan a chanting scroll through which he could learn spells and the basic usage of spells. The function of the spell is to communicate with the outside world and bless the magic, so that the power of the magic will be expanded several times more. If its own fireball technique is a cannon battle, then the blessed fireball technique is a small bomb.
The following week Ivan was again immersed in a frenzy of chanting, to the extent that he had to learn songs in an unfamiliar language to the point of proficiency. However, the chanting of first-order spells is very short, like a short poem, and the difficulty lies in controlling the process of blessing.
All processes of magic must be strictly controlled, and any problem with magic will fail, and it will seriously endanger itself, especially in the release phase of magic. Therefore, the magic drill must be carried out in the drill room, where there is a common magic armor.
Magic is both powerful and dangerous, and it is said that many magicians have been involved in accidents in the practice of magic in the past. Powerful power, constantly traumatized body, unscrupulous experimentation with magic, and perverted pursuit of power, so magicians have always been synonymous with evil and powerful. It wasn't until the Holy Empire changed the system of magic that it changed significantly.
There is no danger in the practice of chanting alone, but when combined with the magic array, it is easy to have accidents. After a week of practice, Ivan came to the magic drill room to begin the final phase.
Putting on the thick armor, Ivan began to build the magic array, and after completing the formation with ease, the main event came.
Ivan used his spiritual power to start chanting, and the fire elemental magic from the outside world was slowly gathered into the fireball that was forming. However, a force of magic that was too strong and pulled by it dispersed the fireball that was forming, and a wave of heat dispersed, and Ivan realized the danger of magic. Without this armor, you can only rely on your own reactions, and the temperature just now is enough to slightly burn your face! No wonder the magicians in the past were brutal and weird. Magicians are a high-risk profession!
Not discouraged, Ivan began to try again and again until the magic ran out. The practice lasted for five days, and there were several major runaways in between. Reflex in time to throw magic out before it gets out of control, but with armor, you can experience the occurrence of loss of control, and you can deepen the results of practice.
"Boom!", Ivan's fireball technique finally succeeded.
"With the experience of success, as long as you practice a lot and achieve 100% success, you can be considered a real magician. ”
Rao is the heart of Ivan XX, and he can't help but be proud of himself.
"Keep practicing!" Ivan cheered himself up, striving to become proficient as soon as possible, successful release is not the end, how to use and accuracy are the key, after all, you can't hit a hair.
"Hello, this classmate, I see that you are relatively young, you should be a second-year junior, you can successfully release magic just after entering the second year, it's really amazing! The senior has to admire, I think I learned the spell at the end of the second year. ”
A boy with a high Ivan half-head walked over, listening to the words of a third-year cadet.
"My name is Daz, get to know me. With that, Daz took out his staff and stretched it out to Ivan.
"Ivan, huh...... I don't quite understand what the senior means. ”
What does it mean to stretch a staff?
"Oh, I forgot you didn't know about this, it's a common staff ritual for mages, and a tap of the staff means that both parties are willing to get to know each other. Daz explained.
"The junior doesn't have a staff yet, so let's replace it with my hand. With that, Ivan lightly touched Daz's staff.
"Looking at Senior Ivan's speech and demeanor, he doesn't look like a poor family, if you have time to buy one, the staff can play a great role, and every mage is indispensable. Dazi said lightly.
"Definitely, but I don't know about it yet, and I'm afraid it's hard to get a satisfactory result if I buy it rashly. ”
"Ivan is knowledgeable, and many magic students can't wait to buy a staff after learning magic, often because they don't understand, they spend more money and don't buy a suitable one. Dazi praised.
"Seeing that the senior must have some understanding of the staff, it is better to let the junior take this opportunity to understand and understand. Seeing that Daz was satisfied with his staff, Ivan decided to inquire about the staff's knowledge.
"You're asking the right person, I'll tell you the truth, my father is a staff material, and I know a lot of masters, and I also know a little bit about staffs, plus I'm familiar with materials, so I'm a little expert. ”
"The staff is a lucrative business, and maybe the senior has the opportunity to become a master crafter. ”
"Where is it, the master sect is very strict in accepting apprentices, don't talk about it, let's talk about the staff for you. ”
Obviously, Ivan's words made Daz very useful, and it can be said that he was in the heart.
"As for the magic staff, it is mainly to play an auxiliary role in the release of magic, don't underestimate this role, a good staff can even double the strength of a mage! The effect is so exaggerated, but that kind of staff is not something that ordinary people can afford. ”
"The auxiliary role of the staff is mainly reflected in the use of mana, which can make the magician's mana run more smoothly, and the construction of the formation will naturally be much faster. Then there is the chanting, which strengthens the magician's communication with the magic of the outside world. The effect is to increase the power of the spell and save mental power and time, how about it?
It's really simple and powerful, saving, accelerating, and enhancing power. If it's two magicians who are about the same, one with a staff and the other without a staff, it's a one-sided hanging! It seems that he has to ask his father for money. Ivan thought to himself.

"Ahh
Old Frank, who was entertaining guests at the manor, sneezed.
"It's rude, please don't mind. "Old Frank apologized to the guest.
"It's okay, keep warm at night, although it's not cold, don't catch a cold. The guest admonished.
"Steady didn't see little Frank? I remember I hugged him last time I came back. I haven't seen it for nearly ten years, and I don't know how tall I have grown. The guest said with some nostalgia.
"My son, sent to the Academy of Magic, he has no interest in business, only power, and at first he wanted to be a reality, and that momentum really scared me. However, after learning that he had no qualifications, he transferred to magic, and it was time to come back.
"It's really like his mother, Treya was obsessed with the pursuit of strength at the beginning, but she had to be promoted to the middle level while pregnant, and the result was ......," the guest said with some embarrassment.
"yes, I miss it when we went on adventures together! It's a pity that there were six companions back then, and now it's just you and me. ”
After speaking, the two were silent for a while.
"Say no more, drink!" the guest raised his glass.
