Time flies, and in the days that Ryan has plunged into the study of spells, he has gradually adapted to the single life of Shining Star Castle. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Although he was still a little unaccustomed to it, meditation was a good substitute for sleep, and Ryan began his own path of self-study every time the day was bright. And Patterry, a big idler, seems to be happy to make friends with Ryan, and from time to time he finds time to run to Ryan to talk. However, since Ryan could never forget the shyness of the teenager that day, he rarely talked, and at most asked Patrick some basic questions.

As for Lancedel, he seems to have been fighting wild magic lately, and after almost taking out the lab with the Flame Burst yesterday, he received a warning from the Morning Star Tower, and finally had to stop. This made Ryan finally breathe a sigh of relief, otherwise according to Lancedel, all the gold coins on his body might be planted on the renovation laboratory.

Although Lancedel is still cold and has almost no communication with Ryan, he sees that Ryan does his duty every day, and the reward he gives Ryan is quite considerable, not only with basic books, but also from time to time to leave some materials that are more than half used, or simply give money. The relationship between the two is more like a hire than with a mentor and an apprentice. Listening to Patrick, many of the apprentices became interested in how long Ryan could last. After all, in the eyes of most people, without the guidance and guidance of a mentor, staying in Shining Star Castle is completely meaningless.

However, although Ryan's own conditions are good, he did not slack off, but with the help of the books given by Lancedel and his daily persistence, he moved towards a higher level step by step.

The sun was still shining today, and Ryan, who had just woken up from meditation, stretched out and sat down in front of the window after a brief freshening up. Although due to the tossing and turning of the past few days, the recovery of mental power has become very slow, but fortunately, he is not without moderation, and his brain that is no longer heavy makes him clearly understand that his mental power has finally recovered as before.

And this will be the capital he will continue to toss himself!

Three pale blue dots of light soon appeared in front of Ryan, and the concentrating nodes were already at an equal distance in the blink of an eye under the rapid fluttering. Then, several pale blue silk threads did not hesitate, like arrows shot out, quickly stretched and intertwined.

A perfect equilateral triangle!

Having successfully built the spell model, Ryan did not let up, carefully verifying its functionality. As the concentrating nodes rotated faster and faster, the surrounding free magic was gradually attracted, and the blue points of light gradually became brighter.

Soon, the Gathering Node could not withstand the increasing amount of mana, and as Ryan let go of the restrictions, the excess mana instantly rushed into the connection node. The originally extremely thin translucent silk thread suddenly became full, and under Ryan's thoughts, the magic power continued to flow in the equilateral triangle spell model, and soon formed a simple cycle.

However, simply absorbing the magic power, the fragile spell model gradually could not support it, and wisps of pale blue streamers escaped from the model. Now that he had succeeded, Ryan didn't wait any longer, and with a flick of his fingertips, a counterclockwise swirling vortex suddenly appeared in the center of the model.

Diffusion node!

The escaping magic suddenly seemed to have found an outlet, and they rushed towards the whirlpool in the center, and as its rotation speed became faster and faster, the magic power of the three gathering nodes was gradually dragged out. The counterclockwise diffusion node becomes brighter and brighter, and after a while it resembles a small light bulb, making it stand out even in broad daylight.

It worked!

While the nature of magic hasn't changed in the slightest, this simple model is the dividing line between a mage's apprentice and an ordinary person, and its symbolism is far greater than its efficacy!

Restraining his excitement, Ryan had already put lunch behind him and opened the heavy encyclopedia of tricks.

What is a spell?

Magic? Incantations? Explode? No, it's neither.

Mages prefer to call it arcane, an esoteric and mysterious power, a knowledge and bridge that goes straight to the origin of the world.

It is new birth and destruction.

After looking at it for a while, Ryan found the most suitable one from the large number of tricks recorded in the book, the Dancing Light Technique, which can create up to four light sources within a 10-foot radius.

This spell was chosen not only because it was a very simple 0-ring spell, and although it didn't do any damage, these movable light sources had a very spiritual effect. What's more, Ryan happens to have its casting materials in his hands.

Phosphorescent mushrooms, many of which Ryan collected after defeating Mescal. This plant grows mostly underground or in caves, and not only has trace substances that can induce electric current, but also can be used as an inducer for the energy shaping spell of dancing light due to its low-light properties.

Although it was a bit wasteful, the impatient Ryan didn't care about these details at all.

The spell model of the Dancing Light Technique is also very simple, it is a hexagram with a diffusion node as the main node, and at the center is an enlarged gathering node, which is similar to the model that Ryan has just successfully built.

There is a very important premise for the caster to cast spells, that is, to memorize the spell model that he has built, which can not only greatly improve the success rate of spellcasting, but also improve the efficiency of spellcasting. And due to the limitations of the magic web, coupled with the geometrically increasing complexity of the model starting from the 1-ring spell, it is almost impossible for a mage to successfully cast a spell in battle without memorizing in advance.

Although after mastering, the reshaping 0 ring spell has almost no limit due to the low mana required, but the time to build the model also takes at least ten minutes, and it is impossible for any encounter to give you such a long time to prepare.

Therefore, mnemonics are a must for every mage.

After determining the direction, Ryan began the first step of building a model of the dance light technique after going through the practice of several diffusion nodes.

As depicted in the book, Ryan quickly built a palm-sized six-pointed star. Against the backdrop of a faint blue glow, it looks very mesmerizing.

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Ryan picked up the phosphorescent mushroom that was set aside, the most important moment came, as long as this spell model can be successfully activated, and then memorized it, then Ryan can be honored to become a full apprentice!

Swallowing his saliva, Ryan placed a small piece of phosphorescent mushroom into the very center of the six-pointed star.

Airplanes! At the moment when Ryan let go, the air around the six-pointed star rippled like water waves, and watching the phosphorescent mushrooms turn into powder little by little in the swirl of concentrated energy, Ryan's heart was suddenly lifted.

I don't know if it was the effect of magic, but the powder emitted an imperceptible shimmer, and as the nodes rotated faster and faster, the powder seeped into it little by little.

The concentrating node was activated in an instant, and the free magic power poured into the center like a sea of rivers, and the other nodes adjacent to the center also began to run rapidly under the baptism of magic power, and the thin threads interspersed together became full in a blink of an eye.

Seeing that the six diffusion nodes on the periphery were also gradually starting to operate, the corners of Ryan's mouth gradually curled, and he was about to open his mouth to chant the incantation, but he was stunned for a moment.

Boom! As if the sound of the strings snapping suddenly exploded, the six-pointed star model bloomed with a fleeting dazzling light, and Ryan's room returned to calm.

Performing Light Dance, casting failed.

Failed? Why?

Glancing at the belated system prompt, Ryan seemed to have fallen from the clouds all at once, his face dazed.

How so? There is no problem with the operation of all nodes, and the operation of the entire model is no different from that in the book, but at the moment when the spell is formed, how can it collapse?

He couldn't figure out how to think about it alone, and just as Ryan remembered to scratch his ears and cheeks, his eyes suddenly glanced at the encyclopedia on the other side, and the six-pointed star model was almost indistinguishable from the one he had just constructed.

This is? Picking up the encyclopedia, Ryan's eyes were fixed on the illustration of the Dancing Light Magic model, only to see four small dots that seemed to be clicked by the tip of a pen around the gathering node.

Maybe this is the breakthrough!

As soon as he thought of it, Ryan hurriedly flipped through the later explanations. Soon, his eyes lit up and he stayed on a new term, diversion!

Just like the effect of the Dancing Light Technique, up to four light sources can be created, and Ryan completely ignores this in his excitement. How can you use spells separately from a single model? Here's the key!

Diversion nodes, as the name suggests, divide the mana infused with a spell model in equal parts. This is not only true for Dancing Light, but it is also essential for multi-trajectory spells such as magic missiles and flame arrows. Once missing, there is no way to successfully activate an incomplete spell model.

Ryan learned well this time, although he found his mistake, but he was not in a hurry, and read all the introductions and precautions of the dance light technique word for word, and then he picked up another piece of phosphorescent mushroom.

Originally, Ryan did underestimate the 0 ring spell, and the encyclopedia recorded many experiences and methods of his predecessors, and the benefits it brought to Ryan were far more than a dance light technique, which could be called something that could benefit for life. With a deeper understanding, Ryan was able to build the model much faster this time.

The four diversion nodes were carefully placed by Ryan at the edge of the vortex, Ryan took a deep breath and placed the phosphorescent mushroom in the center again, and as all the spell nodes of the six-pointed star were activated one by one, Ryan's lips opened and closed slightly, and two awkward words burst out of his low throat.

Dancing Light is being cast, and the spell is successful.

Bite! Successfully cast a 0 ring spell to open the spell list.

Ryan watched as the four balls of light floating in front of him gradually fell into a stupor, and it was not until a few minutes later, when the magic contained in the entire spell model was consumed and the mischievous balls of light disappeared, that he came back to his senses. Covering his mouth with his hands tightly, he tried to suppress the urge to shout.

No one in the world of Ariel will ever understand how much Ryan desires this mysterious power, and how much he wants to tell his former friends that he has mastered this power with both hands! Magic! In the era of information explosion in previous lives, who did not have such fantasies when they were young? And now, Ryan's dream has come true!
