Chapter 140: Dragon Queen Forehead Ornament
Roland has a deep feeling for Miss Mage's tsundere, which is certainly a bit funny, but it is not a cute spot. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"What are you laughing at?" Nikita looked coquettish.
"It's nothing," Roland quickly changed the subject, "By the way, your forehead ornament is said to be a high-level artifact created by Tiamat himself, how powerful is it?" ”
Nikita showed a distressed expression and said in a low voice: "Don't mention it, I've identified it several times, but I have never been able to clarify all the attributes of the dragon queen's forehead ornament, and now I can only exert part of the power of this artifact." ”
Hearing this, Roland perked up, sat up straight and said, "Can you show me, maybe I can help you identify it." ”
"Borrow the divine power of Lady Sindra? Well, it's okay to give it a try. Nikita had been following Roland on adventures for many days, and knowing that his electorate could identify magical items, she happily took off her forehead ornament and handed it to him.
As soon as Roland's fingers touched the dragon's forehead, he shuddered, and the rich potential surged over.
It was the first time he had touched an artifact with his own hands, and the sheer amount of potential was suffocating. This artifact has been sealed underground for more than 3,500 years, and the accumulated potential has formed a thick barrier, so it's no wonder that Nikita's identification has been fruitless.
Roland stroked the dragon's forehead ornament and silently extracted the potential, only when the potential was exhausted, this artifact could reveal its true face.
Nikita waited beside him for a long time, holding his arm and shaking it, urging a little impatiently: "It's not okay, I'm almost asleep." ”
Roland didn't want to be distracted, patted her head, and coaxed a child-like soft voice to comfort: "Good, don't make trouble, it'll be fine right away, if you are tired, just rest on my shoulder for a while." As he spoke, he stretched out his arm to wrap his arms around the girl's slender waist.
Nikita struggled a little, but finally gave in, closed her eyes and pillowed on his shoulders, wrapped her arms around his waist, and made a false sleep gesture, but her face was red and her heart was hot.
Roland was not aware of Miss Mage's subtle thoughts, and continued to absorb her potential, drawing out her potential for 16 degrees before hearing the long-awaited system prompt.
System Prompt: Discover the high-level artifact "Dragon Queen Forehead Ornament"!
Appraisal Report: The wearer's arcane spell casting attribute +6 insight bonus, with 60 feet of blind vision; +10 insight bonus to Fire, Ice, Acid, Electricity, and Tone Resistance, as well as Arcane Mastery, Spell Sharpening, and Advanced Instant Magic Specialies.
Arcane Mastery (EX): When the wearer performs the Arcane Caster Level Check, the D20 dice can be taken directly from 10.
Spell Sharpening (EX): When the wearer calculates the damage dealt by a spell, adds a cast attribute modifier to the damage.
For example, you are a mage with 20 intelligence and unleash a magic missile to attack enemies. Normally, missiles only deal 2~5 (1d4+1) damage, but with the help of "Spell Sharpening", the missile damage is additionally counted as an intelligence modifier +5, and the final damage is 7~10.
Advanced Instant Spell (EX): The wearer may perform a spell without preparation if they have mastered a supermagic feat, sacrificing an additional spell slot (or a spell that has already been prepared) - no less than the additional spell level required for the supermagic feat. The wearer can perform multiple spells on a spell, calculating the number of spell slots that need to be sacrificed separately or cumulatively, but the level of the spell after the spell must not exceed the maximum level of the spell that can be cast.
For example, if you perform "Instantaneous" and "Extreme" magic on a magic missile at the same time, the normal spell instantaneous spell requires a high 4 ring spell slot, and the spell extreme effect requires a high 3 ring spell slot, for a total of 7 ring spell slots, which means that under normal circumstances, you need to spend an 8-ring spell slot to prepare the "Instant Extreme Missile".
If you use Advanced Instant Magic to do this, you only need to prepare a normal 1-ring magic missile and consume 1 4-ring spell slot (instantaneous cost) plus 1 3-ring spell slot (extreme cost) while casting, or you can choose to sacrifice 1 7-ring spell slot (instant + extreme cost).
However, regardless of whether you use the conventional method or the advanced instant magic, the final "Instant Extreme Missile" is equivalent to an 8-ring spell, so you must have a caster level of at least 15 (Mage) or 16 (Warlock) to do so.
……
After seeing the attributes of the dragon queen's forehead ornament, Roland couldn't help but take a deep breath, even among the artifacts, this can be regarded as the best. Blind vision and elemental resistance are nothing to say, +6 intelligence is already very strong, or "insight" is a more part-of-the-way type, which can be stacked with other equipment that improves intelligence attributes, and the value is undoubtedly greater.
Compared with directly increasing attributes, the three special abilities attached to the dragon queen's forehead ornament are even more rebellious!
"Arcane Mastery" is a powerful weapon for breaking magic resistance, and Spell Sharpening directly links intelligence attributes to spell damage. Nikita wears a forehead ornament with an intelligence of up to 27 and an additional damage of +8 from spell sharpening, so it's no wonder that when she faced off against "Dragon Toucher" Agatha, she casually shot a string of magic missiles and knocked the opponent to the brink of death.
The last "Advanced Instant Magic" ability was more complicated, and it took Roland two minutes to roughly understand what was going on, but there were still some questions to ask Miss Mage.
"Nikita, the 'Advanced Instant Magic' is actually replacing the spell ascension ring with an extra spell, right?"
"That's right." Nikita nodded, "The extra spell consumed is the sacrifice that provides energy for the super magic, and it doesn't matter if the sacrifice is a blank spell slot or a spell that has been memorized, it will not affect the effect of the super magic." ”
Roland continued according to her train of thought: "So if you want to instantly launch a magic missile, you have to sacrifice a spell with at least 4 rings?" Because spell instantaneous spells require spell slot support with a high 4 rings. ”
Nikita nodded first, and then shook her head slightly: "That's true, but in fact I can't do it, because the instantaneous missile is equivalent to a 5-ring spell, and my current level can release up to 4-ring spells, which is beyond my spell-casting ability." ”
Roland frowned: "According to this algorithm, it's okay now, but in the future, when your level increases, the level of spells you can use will become higher and higher, and I am afraid you will fall into an embarrassing situation." ”
Nikita looked at him in surprise: "What embarrassing situation?" ”
"The commonly used super magic specialty, the extra cost spell slots are about 1-4, if you frequently use high-level instant super magic, then the 1~4 ring spell slots will be used up quickly, what should you do when you need to use these low-level spells? You're not a warlock, it's impossible to cast low-level spells with high-level spell slots in battle, so you can only prepare a large number of scrolls, wands or staffs, scroll casting is too troublesome, easy to be interrupted by enemies, wands are quite cheap, but unfortunately they can't reflect the real spellcasting ability, staff is good for everything, but it's too expensive, and it's not cost-effective to store low-level spells, isn't that embarrassing enough? ”
Nikita laughed.
"If I were an ordinary mage, then I must admit that your criticism is very reasonable, but I'm not an ordinary mage, but a lighthouse wizard, it's completely different, you understand?"
