Chapter 430: Extra: Maid Jill (155)
The materialization of the dwarven spells, in short, will create spell guns similar to the magic guns.
Unlike the Magic Spear, which is based on runes and uses spells as catalysts, it can burst into powerful attacks.
The spell gun is a direct use of a spell as a means of attack, based on runes, and pulling the trigger is equivalent to using a spell, which is not a step to catalyze a more powerful attack, but is fired directly as ammunition. Although limited by the carrier, it is actually slightly different from the spell used by the caster, but the essence is the same.
As a result, the Magic Gun and the Spell Gun may seem similar but completely different.
How to materialize the formless and insubstantial spell, and how to stabilize the spell at the critical point of the outbreak.
It seems simple, but in fact it is extremely difficult, without in-depth research, and even without a clue.
The elements that are brought together by spells and turned into spells are like gunpowder that ignites bullets.
Without the unremitting efforts of a hundred years of perseverance, without a large number of knowledge inheritance reserves, and without the hard work of countless researchers, these are insurmountable problems.
For the Magic Gun, spells and elements are only means of catalyzing attacks, and there are no spells and elements, and there are gunpowder that has become popular among adventurers recently as a substitute.
Although gunpowder is still very young, many anthropologists are interested in this new catalyst, because even ordinary people can fiddle with gunpowder, which seems far less esoteric and complex than spells and elements.
Some scholars even predict that it is not impossible for gunpowder to replace spells and elements in the future.
But the spell gun can't do it, the spell is its ammunition, it's its core, and in front of the spell, even the runes have to stand aside.
Compared to the rune as the irreplaceable core of the magic guide gun, the rune of the spell weapon is only a part of the weapon used to carry the spell, and even if there is no rune, other alternatives can be found.
Runes are to spell guns what spells are to magic guns.
Not irreplaceable.
The difference between the two is this, the core is completely different.
In simpler terms, a spell weapon is a technical achievement that allows ordinary people to master spells, and they don't need to be learned, and they can be used to pull the trigger to use spells.
The trumpet gun used by the soldiers of the Bari Kingdom is a spell gun, and it is also an important research achievement of the Snow Dwarves on the materialization of spells, allowing users to abandon the tedious steps such as learning to chant spells and directly have the ability to use spells.
This is similar to the weaponization of spells envisioned by Jill, but unfortunately, the two are not identical.
Because the spell gun is only a technical achievement that uses matter and runes as carriers and spells as ammunition, it has a limit after all, the greater the power of the spell, the more difficult it is to bear, and the forbidden spell that can destroy the city and destroy the country can never be carried by a firearm, in order to safely carry the spell, the spell has deliberately weakened the power, and even the final effect has changed.
The same spell, the power used by the master caster is definitely far greater than the spell ammunition of the spell gun.
And the weaponization of the spell envisioned by Jill, saying that it is a weapon, is actually more like a bomb than a bomb.
Because spells can be used in a similar way to bombs when weaponized, they don't need any carriers, they don't need to weaken their power, they only need a switch.
Directly turn the spell itself into a projectile, throw it when needed, and it is powerful, at most, plus a limiter and controller to prevent accidents.
It's a bit like a spell gun or a magic gun, but it's a completely different thing.
Without a carrier, there is no need to suppress power like a spell gun.
Among other things, weaponization of spells is also much less expensive to produce than spell guns and magic guns, and at least for Jill it is easy to produce a finished product.
In Jill's vision, materials are the ubiquitous elements of heaven and earth, and the factory is in his soul, so even forbidden spells can be mass-produced, just like the production of ice bolt blasts, and even because the Elemental Magic Forge has been fused with himself, even the production factory does not need to be built.
Almost equates to zero cost.
The forbidden spell that can destroy the city at zero cost mass production is exciting to think about.
Not even a dragon can survive the bombardment of the forbidden spell—Jill hopes that is the case.
However, the idea of weaponization of spells is obviously impossible to complete quickly, and Jill with the heart of the water element is the most powerful limiter and controller in itself, as long as the spells produced are still in Jil's body, they will be as stable as magic crystals, even if they are released out of the body, as long as they are mentally concentrated, there is no need to worry about lack of control.
So for the time being, there is no need to think about completing the weaponization of spells, as long as the development progress is accelerated in an orderly manner, then with the help of Xiaoling and the system, she will sooner or later have the ability to mass-produce forbidden spells.
Now instead, he should use the resources at hand to enhance his combat effectiveness, such as using spell materialization to complete the hidden tasks in Xiao Ling's mouth.
The advantages and disadvantages of spell materialization are obvious, the advantage is that it allows anyone to have the ability to use spells, and a good spell attack can ignore the defenses of most armor, and regular warframes are no exception, which is like a counterweapon developed against magic technology.
The armor manufactured by the magic guide technology is designed for the magic guide weapon, so the defense level is very high, but on the contrary, the magic defense power is ignored, and even the defense level is not as detailed as the former, only very simple and weak, weak, slightly weak, ordinary, slightly stronger, stronger, very strong to distinguish, far less detailed than the classification of physical defense.
Therefore, in order to better face the future enemy, Jill wants to apply this technology to his nine-barreled machine gun, and replace the ammunition fired by three of the barrels with materialized spells, that is, use the nine-barreled machine gun as a spell carrier.
But there are advantages and disadvantages, the materialized spell is not very powerful, the power is not as good as the caster's spell, and there is basically no physical attack power. In addition, in order to adapt to firearms, the attack form also needs to be compromised, and some special attack effects are often missing.
"So how are you going to transform Jill and add an ice bolt blast?" Xiao Ling watched curiously as Jill took out a nine-barreled machine gun.
Jill looked at the nine-barreled machine gun intently, she just wanted to test it, but she didn't expect to really be able to take out the nine-barreled machine gun, she originally thought that this was the soul space and there was no way to take out the nine-barreled machine gun.
"Jill?"
"Ahem, not to mention whether I can add it, I didn't plan to add the Ice Bolt Blast, I just wanted to transform the magic bullet, not just use the magic power as a catalyst, but turn it into a spell attack that can ignore physical defenses." Jill immediately turned her attention back to what was in front of her.
"I see! Jill you want to use the dwarven rune technology. ”
"Well, I read last night on the common sense of dwarven magic, runes can be engraved on skin, stone, steel, wood and other substances, so dwarves like runes very much, so they have developed a lot of applications, and spell materialization is one of the results, simple and effective."
Jill looked at Xiao Ling with blazing eyes.
"It just so happens that there is a tutorial content related to the materialization of spells, and Xiao Ling, you 'just happened' to find the dwarven library, so you must know the dwarven runes very well."
Being stared at by Jill a little creepy, Xiao Ling said with some emotion: "Okay, who asked Jill to ask me, I did collect some knowledge of rune technology...... Among them are the Fire Materialization Rune, the Frost Materialization Rune, and the Lightning Materialization Rune. ”
Because there is a limit to the amount of a spell gun as a carrier, the spell gun cannot be as complex and changeable as a spell, so the dwarves cleverly split the spell effect into individual runes.
For example, corrosion, such as flames.
Through yesterday's study of Dwarven Rune Technology, Jill can at least be sure that the Horn Gun of the soldiers of the Kingdom of Barry has both effects.
Now, Jill is going to transform the three barrels of the nine-barreled machine gun into spell barrels that shoot fire, frost, and lightning, respectively.
