Academic papers are regarded by the Magical Society as an important way to promote the advancement of magical knowledge, and no effort is spared to spend a lot of resources to support the development of academic papers. Therefore, there are many academic journals within the Magic Association, and the most important basis for dividing these journals is the power faction, spell system, and spell philosophy of the spellcaster, which are interwoven to form an intricate network, and the quality of the journal's papers has become the most important criterion for evaluating the faction or spell system of the power.

Modern magic, for example, is a term that has only been coined for nearly a hundred years, and was first extended by a title-level spellcaster's paper "On Magic and Society", which described how the use of magic in the realm of ordinary people's lives would cause significant changes in the lives of ordinary people.

When this paper appeared, it caused a huge sensation in the Magic Association at the time, and the paper pointed out the direction of development for middle and low-level spellcasters, and could turn to popularization and generalization instead of higher field research. This is not the only reason why the paper caused a sensation, it is precisely because of the concept of the paper that it has been fiercely criticized by the casters of almost all traditional factions, believing that it is an inferior joke that does not want to make progress, even if it can change the living environment of ordinary people, what effect does it have in the field of magic?

Modern magic has survived a difficult period of time and finally established its own system of spells, but it has not changed the caster's view of modern magic, and modern magic has become synonymous with unenterprising and generalized use of low-level spells. Even Modern Magic, the most representative publication of the modern magic system, is considered a third-rate journal among all academic journals and cannot be put on the table.

In addition, the annual funding given by the Magical Association to academic journals is defined by ratings, and the higher the rating, the more contributions are paid to the authors, forming a good cycle.

The most representative figure of the modern magic system is Charles Bloomer, a title-level spellcaster from a civilian background, who was one of the important representatives of the commoner class spellcaster a few decades ago, and the founder of Modern Magic.

Charles casually looked at the three-dimensional star text projected by the information crystal, Nature and Magic had never produced any high-quality papers, and he did not think that anything would change in the future. The reason is simple, the kingdom of Barron is a place where magic is scarce, and the spell net there cannot even support the caster to cast spells above the fourth order, and for a powerful spellcaster, it is like a fish creature being thrown into the desert and unable to survive.

"Huh~ It's a little wrong."

He paused for a moment, and the mind control astral projection zoomed closer to show the magic array of the photographic crystal, he thought that the caster was using the results of the Magic Association to deceive, but the production principle of the photographic crystal projected by the information crystal and the finished product of the magic array were completely different from the "photographic crystal" of the Magic Association.

Fundamentally different products designed based on the same design philosophy and principles.

"So one of the spellcasters over there really researched the Photographic Crystal?" Charles touched his beard with a look of surprise on his face, the Kingdom of Barron is a region abandoned by spellcasters, and the poor spellcasting environment means that the research environment is not much better, how can there be a lot of magical knowledge without the existence of spellcasters, and creating any spell or writing a paper on magic requires a lot of experiments and knowledge support.

"The magic circle of the photographic crystal is composed of a three-ring magic array... I see, the production process is indeed very simple, and the workshop that can engrave the illusion crystal magic circle can almost make this type of photographic crystal. ”

"It is simple to make and cheap to build, although it is not as practical as Nelson crystal, but it is undoubtedly advanced in the civilian field." The more he watched, the more excited Charles became, and hurriedly took out the information crystal from the disk, and his spirit reached inside to quickly read the content recorded by the information crystal.

Nelson Crystal is the name of the Magic Association's "Photographic Crystal", published by a title-level spellcaster named Nelson decades ago, in addition to being able to shoot pictures, it can also have some quite practical functions, such as recording the flow of aether elements, casting traces, information retracement, etc., and has become one of the indispensable recording props for experiments now.

The concept of the photographic crystal mentioned in this information crystal is completely different, only the ability of the photographic picture, in terms of practicality can not be comparable to the Nelson crystal, the advantage is that the production process is simple, and the cost is not higher than a magic crystal.

"There's even a matching paper!? What an astonishment! ”

"See-motion phenomena and visual persistence phenomena, interesting theories, although similar papers have been published, this one is more complete, with detailed experimental data and records."

"Is this really a paper from that Barron Kingdom!? The author of the paper is Harvey Adrian, a name I have never heard of, and I have never published a paper in Nature and Magic before..."

The more I looked at Charles, the more shocked I became, the paper was not very subversive, but its level of perfection and clear definition were very significant, and it can be said that Charles had never seen anything comparable to this paper in a similar field, and he could conclude that even all the papers published in Modern Magic in previous years were not as good as "The Function and Principles of Photographic Crystals".

Charles came to his alchemy workshop, spent half an hour easily making a photographic crystal at his not very professional enchantment level, and looked at the finished product in his hand Charles couldn't close his mouth happily: "Not bad~ Yes, this paper can be published directly in this journal." ”

He found a letter and thought about writing for a long time with a pen his evaluation of "The Function and Principles of Photographic Crystals".

"The Function and Principle of Photographic Crystals"

Rating: E (Exceeds Expectations)

Auditor: Charles Bloomer

Evaluation: It has good groundbreaking, high significance, and good practicability.

Description: Photographic crystals do not have many uses of Nelson crystals, but they can provide excellent picture clarity, complete recording of picture information and sound, which is fully in line with the research direction of modern magic, and has irreplaceable advantages in the civilian field. What is even more rare is that its supporting papers, which are related to photographic crystals and explain the operating principle of photographic crystals, have good significance for the study of human vision, and can extend the main field of illusion.

Comprehensive evaluation: 1000 contribution points. ”

1000 contribution points, which is almost half of the total contribution points allowed for an issue of Modern Magic! It can be described as the biggest work of the year in Nature and Magic.
