064 Spellcaster Genius?

“．．． So, even if you get a spell book from another spellcaster, it's hard to get any information from those code-like words unless you have an owner who will guide you through it. I've heard that some powerful mages can spend a lot of time researching and deciphering them, and they can read spells copied by others, but that kind of realm takes a long time to accumulate knowledge, and it's far from the realm you can cover now. ”

As he spoke, the old mage pressed his slender, warm palm on Wutong's forehead, although he was old: "Now, I will guide you to master the most primitive system of this secret method of writing..."

Wutong only felt a trance, as if a large number of words and symbols poured into his mind, and instantly comprehended a mysterious language and words.

Wutong, who came back to his senses, shook his head, blinked, and then looked at the large number of spell books, and was surprised to find that he could understand those strange words that were originally like ghost drawings, but he knew each of those words, but after combining them, he didn't understand what those words meant at all.

It's as if someone mischievously typed out a garbled code after a random typing on the input device!

The old mage was beside Wutong, word by word in the secret French to the sycamore, the seemingly garbled arcane text after the old mage's reading, the sycamore miraculously understood, although in the sound of others, the syllables that came out of the old mage's mouth, are still a mysterious spell-like voice, but just after the old mage's enlightenment, the initial mastery of the secret text of the sycamore, but can clearly understand the meaning.

This is the way in which the secret methods passed down by word of mouth among the spellcasters in "Endless" are taught, putting an end to the proliferation and wanton spread of this terrifying power, and forming an open and unique internal circle, which requires a lot of time to study the casters, in addition to research work, the most common leisure and entertainment activities may be to discuss and communicate with other spellcasters.

Yes, that's why the world of arcane spells can seem so mysterious and awe-inspiring to the eyes of ordinary people, because the circle is both open and xenophobic, and the casters refuse anyone who is not a caster to join their circle.

"Dear apprentice, you are a knowledgeable senior spellcaster, Runtag. Under Beria's teaching, by reading this esoteric spell notebook, he comprehended a Tier 0 spell:

【Reading】:

Energy expenditure: 60/min

Spell Components: Speech, Posture, Equipment

Duration: 10 minutes/level

Description: You can parse esoteric text on items, books, scrolls, weapons, etc., that cannot be deciphered in any other way. Such interpretations usually do not unleash the spells contained in these texts, but deciphering a cursed scroll has the potential to have unintended results. In addition, once a passage of arcane text has been deciphered, the same text can be understood later without having to release [Reading] again.

Equipment: A clear crystal or mineral prism. ”

At the same time as the guide's prompt sounded, Sycamore felt the four "voids" in his body, and one of them seemed to be filled with something, and the other was filled with the [Projectile Item] he had comprehended from the [Belial's Apprenticeship]!

Wutong suddenly remembered that after discovering [Belial's apprenticeship], didn't he comprehend the spell [Projectile Item] recorded on it without mastering the arcane text? Why would the old mage say that one could not comprehend the spells copied by others without mastering the arcane texts?

"How does it feel? Is it possible to understand the meaning of some of these arcane texts? ”

The old mage who had finished chanting stopped, saw that Wutong's eyes were straight, and he smiled: "It's okay, beginners often need to spend a whole day comprehending a level 0 spell, if you didn't remember it just now, we can do it a few more times, and then you can spend more time studying it..."

"I remember."

Wutong looked at the old mage with a strange face, although he was interrupted by the student, but the old mage did not feel annoyed at all, but opened his mouth in surprise, and his long snow-white beard even trembled, and the old mage stared at him in disbelief: "Do you remember?" Just once did you remember? ”

"Yes, teacher! I remembered! Sycamore replied honestly.

"It can't be!" The old mage didn't believe it.

Sycamore couldn't explain this strange phenomenon, when he comprehended [Projectile Item], although he couldn't understand the esoteric arcane text on [Belial's apprenticeship], but after reading it, he inexplicably comprehended the spell, as if "no teacher"!

After making sure again, the old mage frowned and turned the first page of the spell book, pointed to the [Transcription] on the second page, and said, "Then let's try this again!" "Looks like the old mage suspects that Sycamore is lying!

There are more and more complex arcane texts in [Copying], but when the old mage has chanted it again, Sycamore once again receives a hint from the guide:

[Transcription]:

Energy expenditure: 60/min

Spell Components: Speech, Posture

Cast Time: Single action

Distance: Close range (25 feet + 5 feet / every 2 levels)

Target: A specific item or writing item

Duration: 10 minutes per level

Description: You point your finger at the document and wave your hand as if you were holding a quill. When you chant a spell, a secret pen appears on the paper with your hand.

You can copy a document from its source (e.g. a book) to another book, paper, or parchment. This spell can duplicate 250 words per minute, and can make a perfect copy of the original.

This spell can only copy text, and in order to cast this spell, you must first prepare a blank piece of paper, parchment, or a book to provide transcription. If the copy target has more than one page, the spell will automatically copy to the next blank page, as appropriate.

If the target has more pages than the number of blank pages available, the spell is copied as is until the blank pages are exhausted. During the duration of the spell, you can reassign the spell to copy another file and copy it onto another blank file, or to continue the copy of the file that was previously stopped due to lack of blank pages.

This spell cannot translate copied files. If you don't know what the original text is about, you won't know how to copy the file because of the spell.

．．．．．．

Dear Apprentice, you can record it in your spell book and memorize it in your mind early in the morning by studying your spell notes, so that you can use it by expending your own energy throughout the day when you need it.

With your current experience, you can memorize 4 tier 0 spells per day, but due to your superior intelligence, you can memorize 3 more!

Currently, it has 18 intelligence points, +4 derived intelligence bonuses, and 3/7 spell slots.

When Wutong looked at the old mage with a very innocent expression, the old mage had been observing him with incredible eyes for a long time: "Unbelievable! Unbelievable! Looks like you're even more talented than I expected... This is really an unacceptable thing, are you the heir of the god of arcane law, Bokab? Or a disciple of the god of mages, Azus? Or the beloved child of Mystra, the goddess of mysticism? ”

The old mage, who had begun to speak incoherently, muttered to himself, saying something that Sycamore didn't understand.

Still unable to believe it, the old mage spread the [Sycamore's apprenticeship book] in front of Sycamore, and ordered: "Use the [Copying] you have mastered, and copy all the spells you have mastered into this spell book!" ”

Feeling that the old mage seemed to be a little excited, Wutong didn't dare to refuse, and thought about it, although he was not very proficient, but when a secret sentence came out of his mouth, the blank page he pointed to with his finger, lines of words spontaneously appeared, and at the same time, Wutong also felt that his energy value was also passing bit by bit.

It took nearly three minutes for Wutong to copy the [Reading] and [Transcription] on his apprenticeship, and when he wanted to transcribe [Projectile Item], he remembered that there was already one on it, so he couldn't help but hesitate for a moment, and asked suspiciously: "Teacher, do you have to copy the spells that are already on the spell book again?" ”

The old mage who was staring at Wutong transcribing spells, surprised by his student's amazing caster talent, was stunned, he looked puzzled and saw the secret text recorded in the study book, the two spells just taught had been completely copied on it, what other spells needed to be copied again?

Suddenly, the old mage reacted, turned the apprenticeship book to the first page of the 0-order spell that recorded the [Projectile Item], this spell was copied by his own hands many years ago, and turned his head to look at Wutong: "You don't mean to say that you comprehended this spell without mastering the arcane text, just by watching the spell information on this apprenticeship book, right?" ”

Wutong glanced at his remaining energy value, and without explanation, he directly raised his palm, and quickly formed a [Projectile Item] spell handprint, and an orange spiral light spun sharply and appeared in his palm.

"Hiss~" The old mage involuntarily gasped, stared at Wutong with the eyes of a monster, and asked a question that made Wutong, who was stared at by him, confused: "Apprentice, do you know the origin of your bloodline?" ”

Ancestry origin? Play a game, how do you plan to check your account?

Wutong shook his head in confusion, the old mage who didn't get the answer was not hit, but his eyes were even hotter: "Apprentice, willing to be my Runtag. Is Beria a real disciple? ”
