What is Shaman?

In order to understand this question, we must first understand what the elements and the spirits of the elements are, the elements are the world, the elements are everywhere, whether it is matter or energy, they are all some kind of elements, and the spirits of the elements are the magical beings born from these elements, they are powerful and closely connected with the world.

Ordinary orcs can't control the elements, and the elements can only be controlled by shamans, which is common sense for all orcs, so the question is, why can't ordinary orcs control shamans?

"Smack!" a rattan struck Izzy on the head, waking him up from his stupor.

"I'm starting to think I'm going to need a lightning spell to get you awake, Izzy!" Shaman Artur said to Itch with a radiant smile.

"No, no, I'll listen!" Izzy said quickly.

Izzy never thought that he was already 32 years old (Earth 22 + Otherworldly 10) spiritual age, and he still had to attend classes, on Earth he only needed to work hard and go home to do whatever he wanted, and in Draenor, he was even more free, he had nothing to exercise, and he would go out on adventures when he had something, and he was free, how pleasant!

Now that he had suddenly returned to the lecture session, Izzy had never felt that any lullaby could make people so drowsy, even if it was about magical knowledge.

Ahem! Clearing his throat, Artur Shaman took a sip of tea and continued: "If you fall asleep again, I'll test it with you, how long can a spell keep you awake, you know?"

Izzy nodded apprehensively, and Shaman Artur continued.

The shaman will sign an oath with the elemental spirits, and the shamans will cast the corresponding elemental spells through the abilities of the elemental spirits, and when the elemental spirits need help, the shamans will also have to repay the favor of the elemental spirits, and the relationship between the shamans and the elemental spirits is as simple as that.

So if you want to become a shaman, the first thing you need to do is to sense the elemental spirit and become an oath ally with him.

Then you can use his power to control the elemental energy in the world and cast shamanic spells.

To tell the truth, when Izzy heard this, he was confused in his heart, if he wanted to do what Shaman Artur said, then why could the mage profession cast spells, and they didn't sign a contract with the elemental spirits, and secondly, Izzy himself could already cast spells, although the spells cast by his right hand were all lottery spells, and they were all consolation prizes.

"Mentor Artur, how did the spells they cast like ogre magicians come about?" Izzy asked Shaman Artur after a moment's thought.

Shaman Artur was a little embarrassed, he knew why ogres could cast spells, so he immediately recalled the knowledge in his mind to avoid being embarrassed by not being able to answer the student's questions. ”

"It is said that the ogre's spells were taught by the Raven people, and they seem to use arcane energy to cast spells, and I don't know exactly how to do it, but these are not things you should care about. Shaman Artur replied.

"The ogre can cast spells without relying on any existence, we still have to rely on the elemental spirit, what if one day, the elemental doesn't help us?"

Hearing this, Shaman Artur smiled and said to Izzy, "That's a good question, I'll tell you the difference between our shamanic spells and their arcane spells right now." ”

First of all, the ogre mages do rely on themselves to cast spells, and we rely on the elemental spirits, they control the arcane energy through mental power, and use the arcane energy to manipulate the elemental energy to cast spells, and we use the elemental spirits to manipulate the elemental energy to cast spells.

The biggest difference here is that there is a limit to the abilities of mortals, when their spiritual power is used up, spells cannot be used, and we consume less spiritual power, because we just use the spirit to communicate with the elemental spirit, so that the elemental spirit can control the elemental energy, and the other person controls the element and the elemental spirit controls the element, which is relatively simple, so I don't need to say it.

"You know the difference, it's like they take water from a bucket and we let it flow directly into our mouths. The old shaman made a fitting analogy.

"Secondly, the elemental spirits and us are complementary beings, and as long as we do not make any serious mistakes, then the elemental spirits will generally not abandon us. ”

Artur Shaman suddenly remembered something, and said with a yearning face: "In addition, the biggest advantage of the shaman is that the more powerful the shaman makes a contract with the more powerful elemental spirits, the more powerful the elemental spells will be. “

Izzy immediately made a "so powerful" expression, but he was actually skeptical in his heart, how strong a person's spiritual potential can be, who knows? And Izzy felt that this kind of spell that could only be cast by other intelligent creatures was 120,000 points unreliable, in case people were in a bad mood that day, wouldn't the shaman have to die?

On the other hand, of course, Izzy is very sure of his statement that elemental spirits can control elemental energy more easily than humans.

"Then how can I sense elemental spirits?" Izzy continued.

"We generally perceive elemental spirits through meditation, you remember that you can see the soul of the ancestors, ordinary orcs can't see them, and not seeing the spirit of the ancestors means that they can't perceive the spirit of the elements, which is why people who can't see the souls of the ancestors can't become shamans. ”

Izzy said that he understood, and at the same time, he also understood why in the Warcraft plot, Thrall could become a shaman without seeing the spirit of the ancestors, because in fact, it is not the key to not see the spirit of the ancestors, but whether he can perceive the spirit of the elements is the key, and the matter of seeing the spirit of the ancestors is more of a symbolic test.

"That's all for today, they should be back too, go home and try meditating yourself, my student. Shaman Artur said softly to Izzy.

Izzy bowed and exited Artur's tent, and as he walked home, he began to think about his own problems again.

Neither a spell cast by an elemental spirit nor a spell cast by an arcane spell, then which system is his lottery spell counted?

Izzy, who was puzzled, didn't figure out this problem until he got home, shook his head, anyway, when he meditated and sensed the elemental spirit, he signed a contract and knew how to cast a spell.

To put it simply, it's meditation.

"Nima! Come to my house again to find me to be a coolie! I won't cook these chickens even if I starve to death today!" Izzy opened the tent and saw Rantreso and Mogorin again, talking to their father in their own house, plucking the feathers of the birds, and immediately wanted to speak foul language.

An hour and a half later.

"Hiccup! I'm calling it Flower Chicken, it's getting more and more fragrant! It's delicious!" Izzy burped and beckoned Mogolin to throw all the chicken bones into the small pit outside as fertilizer, and lay down comfortably on the hide, slowly eating it.

Feeling very comfortable, Izzy got up and walked to a stone outside the tent and meditated cross-legged, ready to start trying his meditation now.

Shaman Artur told Izzy that meditation is to open his mind, close his eyes and feel the world with his heart, when he can see that the world is full of elemental particles, when he enters meditation, and meditation is not difficult for him.

Izzy felt that this description was quite familiar at the time, so he entered the state of the elemental horizon at this moment, the old shaman said, what you usually see is the scene of elemental particles attached to the bodies of those beasts, and the elemental spirit is directly composed of elemental energy, that is, there is enough energy to illuminate your heart, there is the elemental spirit.

Once you've found the elemental spirit, try to communicate with it, and if both parties agree, the oath will be made, and of course if the elemental spirit is angry, or if you're mad about something, don't mess with people, Shaman Artur warned Izzy solemnly.

Izzy is in the world of the elements, constantly observing, the first thing he has to do is to be able to maintain the state of the elemental horizon at the same time, it is said that all shamans can perceive the distance is different, the most powerful is said to be the patriarch of the Shadow Moon Clan, Nao Zu, he can perceive about 10 meters when he enters the world of elements for the first time.

Izzy was happy to hear it at the time, what is the concept of being able to perceive 100 meters? Artur Shaman knew about this, but he told Izzy to keep quiet, and Izzy himself never thought of saying it, so he had to keep a low profile.

Feeling fine, Izzy slowly stood up, the world in his mind was very unstable, and as he moved, it kept flickering like a TV station.

He struggled to move, walking around the clan, and when his elemental horizon could envelop Shaman Artur, he sensed some kind of connection between Shaman Artur and several powerful beings, and he knew that it was the elemental spirit signed by Shaman Artur.

Izzy changed direction and moved towards the clan gate, he hoped to see what the elemental spirit was like tonight, walking, and suddenly, he sensed a huge cloud of wind elemental flying over his head, he realized that it was the time of the elemental spirit, the wind elemental spirit had disappeared.

Izzy inexplicably has the impression of eating someone's buttocks.

Reluctantly, he continued to walk slowly, just when he thought that there should be no drama tonight, and he was about to lift the elemental vision.

The wind elemental spirit just now, with another swish, flew back, and a voice came into Izzy's head.

"Hey, friend, do you know which direction Frostfire Ridge is?" Izzy thought for a moment and pointed to the northwest.

"Thank you, friend, you look so strange, why do you look like a bug?" said the whirlwind-shaped wind elemental spirit, and with another swish, it flew away towards the northwest.

Izzy just raised his hand to communicate with him, but the other party couldn't see the figure anymore, and Izzy felt like he had eaten a stomach for some reason.

Izzy's elemental horizon was immediately lifted, and he felt as if he had been injured internally, and he held his breath and went home to sleep.

Are elemental spirits like that? Izzy thought angrily.

On the second day, Izzy left the clan camp directly with the elemental horizon open, and slowly approached the old Ghosh and their cave, he wanted to take a stop to see how they were doing, and as he walked, he suddenly sensed something.

In terms of the lair of the magoron, the density of the fire elemental was much higher than that of the other areas, and after thinking about it, Izzy decided to go around and take a look, maybe he could see a fire elemental spirit.

As he walked, Izzy felt that he was quite familiar with this route, which was clearly going to Margolon's lair, and he immediately sped up.

When his perceptual range finally enveloped Margolon's lair, he saw it.

It was a fire elemental giant, and he was resting in the lair that used to belong to Margolon.

After thinking about it, Izzy decided to go up and say hello.

"Is that newborn who broke into my house? so rude. ”

Suddenly, a majestic voice exploded in Izzy's head, and the sound shook Izzy's head like thunder.

Izzy hurriedly shouted, "Noble Elemental Lord, I didn't mean to disturb your rest!

"Hmm, how do you speak in an orc voice?" the elemental giant asked Izzy, confused.

"I'm an orc who recently became a shaman?" Izzy called back.

After Izzy finished speaking, the ground suddenly began to shake, and at the mouth of the cave that was collapsed by Margolon, the ground quickly swelled, and two lava palms stretched out of the ground, supporting the ground, and a huge flame giant emerged from the ground like a volcanic eruption.

The lava giant's head suddenly had three eyes, and they all looked at Izzy, who was furious at the sight.

"What the hell are you?" the Flame Giant said into Izzy's head with a more confused voice.

Izzy scolded in his heart, you are a thing, and opened his mouth and said: I am the trainee shaman selected by the Fireblade Clan in the last Keshhag excerpt, the powerful elemental lord of your question, I don't quite understand what it means.

The flame giant suddenly stretched out a hand, the lava in his hand quickly cooling to stone, and he tapped his fingers against the spiral mark of Izzy's right arm, and Izzy was so frightened that he almost ran away.

A nasal "uh-huh???" rang through Izzy's head.

After another while, Izzy saw that he didn't react for a long time, and continued to shout: "Venerable Fire Elemental Lord, I want to find the oath partner of the elemental spirit, I wonder if you can help me and introduce if there is an elemental spirit suitable for me nearby, I will definitely repay you."

The flame giant pinched his chin with one hand, made a thinking gesture, and suddenly bent his head and said, "What do you say you are looking for?"

"You're an elemental spirit yourself, and you're going to make a vow with a partner?" The flame giant's voice made Izzy think he was laughing at him, but what he said surprised Izzy.

"What did you say, you said I was an elemental spirit?" Izzy asked in a loud voice.

"Yes, I don't know what's going on with you, but in my perception, you're like a newborn elemental spirit. The flame giant's voice made Izzy a little overwhelmed.

As if thinking for a moment, the Flame Giant added, "Your entire right hand, the apprentice shaman of the Fire Blade Clan, to be exact. ”

It's suddenly clear to Izzy why she doesn't look like a shaman or a mage.

He used the ability of the elemental spirit to cast a lottery spell!
