Chapter 42: Magic (Thanks to the Sad Onlookers for the Reward)
After Mama Garrom's trouble, Arlando had to compromise. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 However, most smart people are very good at making excuses, after all, there is nothing wrong with combining work and rest, and he doesn't need a disciple who is immersed in hard study all day, so it is beneficial for Solam to have proper contact with outsiders.
Mages are not of high level, they must be very awesome, many of the senior mages who stay in the research room and the magic tower, may not really fight, you know, fighting with spells is a test of the mage's reaction, when to use the most appropriate spell, is very particular.
Although Arcane Knights are originally spellcasters on the actual combat side, they learn spells to fight. Arcane Knight originally had a lot of spell-casting skills, and evolved from battle mages. (Combat mages are a kind of mages who believe that spells are born for battle and destruction, and they pursue spells that can cast spells quickly and powerfully, and many of these mages will choose to specialize in plastic energy and change, but within mages, this school is very despised and called them barbarians who can magic)
Arlando could only comfort himself like this, otherwise what else could he do.
In this way, Soram lived, with one day off every week, and the rest of the time he was busy like a dog. Perhaps thanks to this intensive learning style, Soram has awakened another ability, which is "concentration".
――――――――――
Anyway, Soram began his formal studies, after learning Nessera (a tongue-twisting but elegant, precise language) and the lingua franca and being able to read and write proficiently. (Nesser's script is a very complicated flowery script) Solam began to really learn about magic.
The first is the history of magic, which is a must-learn.
In general, the elves are using powerful magic to break their world, and then open the passage to the ancient feron continent of the Torreel world. After wars with dragons and several wars with the crown, the continent was torn apart by them, and magic was taught to humans. After the discovery of the Netherel Scrolls, the glorious modern magical civilization began, and the humans abandoned the magic taught by the elves in favor of the above knowledge. After studying, they created the Mithic Core and created the Floating City. Later, it also developed into the Eight Schools of Magic, and almost all the magical knowledge in modern times was passed down from that era.
The eight schools are: Protection (various shields), Spells (curses, laws: Shock), Prophecy (prophecy, wishing, etc.), Enchantment (alchemy, blessing spells, such as stone skin), Plastic Energy (fireballs, etc.), Illusion (don't want to explain), Necromancy (both death spells, life transformation also belongs to this faction), and Change (literally)
And then there's the principle of magic.
In the beginning, the Arcanists of Netherel did not need to prepare spells in advance, and most of them did not need to use a magic net to cast magic spells and gestures alone. Unlike modern mages, they are not able to learn the spell again for the rest of their lives if they fail to learn it. Casting magic consumes something called arcs, and at that time they had a small amount of magic. It is also not as many casts as modern mages. However, due to the time of Netheril, the goddess of magic had not yet closed the direct connection between mages and magic sources, so their super magic was more powerful than it is now.
Later mages deciphered the secret of this "arc" through research, which is the speed and concentration of the brain's calculations. In modern times, mages calculate the entire trajectory of magic in their brains, and then draw them into the web through gestures and chanting, which is called the magic model, and finally release it by concentrating.
Spell models are mostly complex and sophisticated, and after each calculation, in order to protect the brain from being burned out, the magic net will remove the spell model from memory after each spell. That's why after casting a spell, it's important to mentally prepare the spell model again. As a result, the smarter the person, the more spells they can use (after the net, the spell model is cleared, and the memory of the spell will not be clear), and in this sense, the nets protect the brains of the mages and prevent them from dying from overload. Magic has been easier to learn and safer since the time of the Magic Web. Of course, this is only relative, and the number of modern mages is not large.
Knowing this, Solam couldn't help but sigh, if it was in the later stage, wouldn't the mage become a humanoid computer? This was unimaginable in the previous world, you know, the concept of biological computers has been around for many years, but it is impossible to actually make it.
But there is no shortage of miracles in that world, and there are people who can do this kind of thing, and their brains are comparable to those of computers, and that is the Alien. In that world, people have not given up researching abilities, and people have found that the ability that brings is physical mutation, which can also be called evolution, so the ability is also divided into physical enhancement and psychic strengthening, and the sources of these abilities are all mutations that appear in a certain part of the body, and people find that there are many sources of abilities in the body enhancement system, which may be the mutation of any part of the body. But there's only one place where psychic abilities come from, and that's the brain. Studies have found that the brain domain development of psychic superabilities is much stronger than that of ordinary people, and the brain domain development level of ordinary people is only 10%, while some advanced psychic abilities can easily reach 30%, so the general psychic system is relatively intelligent.
Some special psychic abilities can do it, and make their brains' computing power comparable to that of computers.
So Solam thought, if he can keep those spells firmly in his brain, so that the magic net will not clear his memory, then he doesn't need to prepare magic in advance, so that although there is a limit to spell bits, he can freely cast the spells he needs, isn't it more flexible than other mages, and can completely offset the disadvantage that his spell slots are less than ordinary mages.
Soram then rushed to Arlando and told him what he wanted, but not about his abilities.
Arlando laughed at Solam's idea, and then told him that almost every mage apprentice had had an idea for it, but none of them succeeded.
He himself had made efforts in this regard when he was younger, but this restriction was not so easy to break, and it was possible in the days of Nessreel, because the spell structure at that time was not as complex as it is now.
And the clearing ability of the magic net is not so simple, the higher the level of the mage, the deeper the connection with the magic net, the stronger this clearing ability, only the legendary mage can understand and control the original magic energy that is not filtered by the magic net after reaching the high-level legend, in order to bypass the magic net casting, but this is also an upper limit, because I really can't remember so many spell models.
But Arlando didn't bother to stop this whim, after all, it is not a bad thing for young people to try more, so that they can understand the greatness and rigor of magic more deeply.
Soram saw that Arlando didn't believe that he could succeed, and he didn't say anything, anyway, he just said it in advance, so as not to make a fuss when he got it.
Soram's confidence is entirely due to his new ability, "Focus", which doesn't seem to be very powerful, but Soram knows very well that this ability is a rare skill even in his previous life.
This ability allows people to learn anything faster, just like memorizing, and most importantly, it is one of the few abilities that can take advantage of untapped brain domains, which can store what they learn directly into the undeveloped brain domains, and it will not affect the normal brain domain at all.
If you use the spell model of "focus" learning, whether it will be cleared or not, to be honest, Soram doesn't know. After all, he had not studied the situation of the brain domain of this world, and it was not clear whether the magic net would clear the memories of the undeveloped brain domain.
But he guessed that it wouldn't, the undeveloped brain domain is actually equal to nothing, didn't there be that kind of brain missing a piece in the previous life, but is it still alive and well, that is, the lucky destroyed places are all undeveloped brain domains, Soram doesn't believe it, the goddess of the magic net will be so boring, to clear the memory that doesn't exist at all.
Besides, you won't die if you try anyway, so why not try it.
Just do it, just take a few magic tricks he just learned to try, Solam is not qualified to learn real magic, he can only learn some magic tricks, because this model of level 0 magic is very simple, as long as a little smarter people can learn it, and to cast this level 0 magic does not need any mage level, as long as it can be linked to the shallow magic net, so there are many mage apprentices who can't get along, and they rely on these level 0 magic to be jugglers and make a living. But even if it's simple, it's still cast by the magic net, and the model will be cleared.
Soram pulls out a few magic scrolls that record level 0 magic (the magic scrolls are spell models drawn on them) and begins to use the focus ability to jot down the magic model of level 0 magic in his mind.
The sorcery models were simple, and in about half an hour, Soram had memorized them all with his focus abilities. They are Water Formation, Flash, Mage's Hand, Hypnotism, and Resistance Boost.
Then he never developed the Brain Domain Mobilization Spell Model, and then cast 2 level 0 magic tricks. Then begin to carefully recall the spell that has just been released. As a result, the spell models of the two level 0 magic tricks that had just been released were still honestly stuck in their minds!!!
Soram was immediately overjoyed to tell Arlando about his work.
When Arlando heard this, he thought that Soram was playing tricks on him, but when he saw Soram patting his chest and assuring that it was not a fool, he was a little skeptical.
If it's true, then Arlando feels like he's going to send it.
