Chapter 4: The Age of the End of the Law!
After the collapse of the magic web.
The one-time memories of wizards with the help of the magic net memory had to be turned into permanent memories today, as there were no more spell slots to help them preserve these constructed spell models.
A little detail must be mentioned here.
In the past, wizards memorized spell slots that took the longest time to preserve spell slots in the initial brand, but after completing the memory of spell slots, as long as this spell was cast in the future, it took a short time to reload and replenish spells. Even wizards with very poor talent can take up to 8 hours to completely re-memorize all the spells stored in the spell slot. This is one of the biggest functions of the magic web, and now that it has lost this role, many wizards have to complete the model construction of these spells independently.
The only thing to be thankful for is that the strength of these spellcasters is still there.
That is, the most basic spiritual power and the magic accumulated through meditation are still there, such as an example that Golia showed to Sauron.
A mid-level wizard named Corolla.
His talent is not high, and it is estimated that the intelligence is barely at 18-20 points when the class bonus is counted, and his original spell casting level is about level 8. After the collapse of the magic web, he completely lost all his spells, but after testing Modo City and the Wizarding Alliance, he regained his grasp of the most basic one-ring spell [Arcane Missile] through continuous practice.
At the moment, this is the only one-ring spell he can cast.
With only one spell to be cast by memory, he was able to cast more than thirty arcane missiles in a row before he exhausted his strength.
This means that his original ability to exercise has not disappeared.
It's just that he has lost the auxiliary tool of the magic net, and he can no longer master other spells, and for a long time in the future, he is afraid that he will only be able to cast some very low-level spells.
"What are you going to do now?"
Sauron frowned and looked at the results of the test conducted by Golia and the others, and said slowly: "There are still many wizards who can't cast spells now. This problem must be addressed as soon as possible, at least so that they can protect themselves. ”
Goliath nodded when she heard this, and then said, "I know. ”
"So the result of our current discussion is to get them to re-memorize the spells they are most familiar with and most commonly used. At present, they can only learn the skills of a warlock, and regain their mastery of spells through repeated practice. ”
"Still."
"I'm afraid it will be difficult for these people to learn new spells in the future, and they may have fewer types of spells than warlocks."
Warlocks rely on talent to cast spells.
After the collapse of the magic net, the once high-ranking mages may only be able to master a very small number of spells through constant contact. Unless they are able to meet the requirements of an advanced Arcanist.
The Arcane Empire also had a magic web.
A large number of low-level spellcasters rely on magic nets to cast spells, but the level of the arcanist will generally jump out of the magic net, and if you advance to become a great arcane master, there is no problem with whether there is a magic net or not.
"How's it going over there, Archmage?"
Sauron thought for a moment and said, "Have those archmages had their spell-casting ability reduced?" ”
It was the Fallen Witch who answered him, only to hear her say slowly, "The archmage's ability has not decreased much. With their talent and understanding of spells, they can cast most spells even without a magic net. ”
"But there must be some impact."
"They should have the same effect as we do, and they need to memorize all the spells all over again."
The talent of the Fallen Witch is amazing.
Such a complex [Elemental Furnace], she can disassemble and reassemble it with the help of a person's memory. This memory and comprehension are simply at the level of a scientist. Archmages are all advanced legendary spellcasters, and their talents are very good, even if the magic net collapses, they can easily recomplete the spell memory.
This should be the most fortunate point.
After the collapse of the magic net, although the lower-level wizards were hit hard, the wizards above the legendary level were not greatly affected.
"And what about your current strength?"
Sauron thought for a moment and asked, "Do you think your strength has decreased or improved?" ”
Goliath frowned and hesitated for a moment, then said slowly, "I'm not sure." ”
"One thing is certain, though, that the spells we can cast after the web collapses have become much more flexible. The original spell slot was used to facilitate the caster. However, it also restricts the performance of some very talented people. ”
"In the past, when I cast spells, I had to limit myself to what I remembered in my spell slot."
"And now we can cast all the spells we can at will! The only measure of what we can do to cast spells is our own mental power and magic. ”
"Before the magic and mental power are exhausted. We can cast spells at will. ”
"There's no combat test yet, so I'm not sure if we're going to be down or up!"
"And."
"The convenience of the magic net makes it easier to cast spells, and after breaking away from the magic net, after our preliminary calculations, the total number of spells we can cast should be reduced by about 30%."
The magic web is both a framework and a limitation.
A ring spell slot can only memorize a ring of spells. Although the utilization rate has been maximized, the framework is there after all, and no one can jump out of the limits of the law of the goddess of magic.
Now that the magic net has collapsed, there is no such convenience without this framework.
Relying on the use of individual abilities alone must not be comparable to the huge magic net, so the total number of spells that can be cast is reduced overall.
Of course.
Unless you only memorize and cast a ring of spells. This will explode the number of spells you cast, as all of the spell slots in the past have become the magic of casting one-ring spells.
"How long will it take for these spellcasters to regain their combat effectiveness?"
Sauron asked the most crucial question.
Golia pondered for a long time before she said, "It's hard to say. Now we can only look at their individual talents. It is estimated that in a month or so, most casters can recover some spells. ”
"But some of them may only be able to perform some level 0 tricks in the future."
Without the magic net, reality is so cruel.
If you are not a learner or a quasi-learner, you will be able to use a level 0 trick to conjure magic in the future.
The existence of the magic net naturally has its reason, how glorious the Thuryin era is, after the death of the first generation of the goddess of magic, it is not the same as the destruction in history. An arcane civilization is not something that can be supported by those geniuses at the top alone, if magic wants to be used and popularized, it must use the power of the magic net, if the magic net cannot be restored, the current batch of spellcasters is a little better.
From now on, without the help of the magic net, the difficulty of anyone to advance to a wizard will increase exponentially!
Sauron conservatively estimated that they would need 18 points of initial intelligence before they could advance to become a wizard apprentice, master the lowest level 0 trick, and then reach a career level of about 4 before they could start learning a ring of spells. (Note: Because at Wizard class level 4, they can only reach around 20 intelligence.) )
Now this group of wizards still has the accumulation and training of the past, and most of their intelligence has been increased to more than 20 points because of the professional level.
In the future, the number of wizards will plummet!
If you lose the magic net, if you can't recover it, or find another replacement, then the era of the end of the spell will gradually come, and the number of spellcasters will become smaller and smaller!
