104 Mages, Warlocks, and Sorcerers
In the peaceful and peaceful chapel, the old priest was walking around a little irritably, and from time to time he said a few words to the calm old priest.
Wutong was a little strange, but he still walked over with a smile, it seemed that the old mage was not in a very good mood, so Wutong greeted the two old men quite carefully.
Seeing the arrival of Wutong and Xiaoxiao, the old priest stood up, sat down with a smile on his face, and after gently asking a few words about Lori, he began to teach her some knowledge about the priesthood.
When the old mage saw Wutong arrive, although he eased his irritability a little, he could still see that he was worried about something.
"Uh, teacher, what's something that bothers you?"
Wutong took out the heavy "Spell Details" given to him by the old mage, and sat down opposite the old mage honestly, while asking cautiously, he was a little weak-hearted, after all, this "Spell Details" was an "after-school reading" that the old mage told him to read carefully when he had time, but he actually stuffed it into his bag and read it in Yemu, and was a little worried that the old mage would test his content later.
"Nothing"
The old mage sorted out his mood for a while, and after exhaling slightly, he looked at his disciple with great satisfaction: "It's just because of those barbaric wizards and evil sorcerers who have made the village smoky, and now there are not many young people like you who are talented and willing to join the ranks of mages!" The old mage seemed to sigh very much.
"Wizard? Sorcerer? Sycamore was surprised.
"Yes, as I told you before, a mage is a spellcaster, but a spellcaster is not just a mage." The old mage did not rush to explain the problem of spells to Sycamore, but explained to Sycamore the composition of the "spellcaster" professional system.
Just as the "Warcaster" is composed of various combatants, such as warriors, warriors, knights, crossbowmen, hunters, wanderers, etc., the "Spellcaster" also has a huge class classification, the most basic is the mage, warlock, and wizard, among them, the wizard tends to have the dark surname, and the warlock tends to have the evil surname.
In addition, there are some class variants that have spellcasting abilities but are difficult to define their class classification, such as the Bard, which has both spellcasting and melee abilities.
The origin of wizards is usually derived from some ancient races and tribes, they also have the ability to cast spells, but it is a completely different system from mages, similar to the relationship between mages and priests, and the opposite of "shamans" such spellcasters, a kind of cleric called "shamans".
There is nothing to argue and argue about because of the different philosophies and beliefs of the people, and the various professional systems are contradictory and exclusive, but they coexist.
However, the more alternative is the warlock, the warlock is different from the mage and the wizard, they do not need to need a lot of knowledge and learning like the mage, and they do not need to have faith and belief like the wizard.
The source of the warlock's spell-casting ability comes purely from their own bloodline, relying on their own spiritual power, and sometimes the talented warlock can even activate his own secret bloodline and instinctively comprehend spells.
Warlocks can master almost all the spells that mages can master, and they don't need any study and preparation, nor do they need any spell casting materials and magic weapons to be able to cast spells.
The old mage's explanation lasted for more than half an hour, and Wutong was almost stunned, but he had to listen carefully, because he had realized that what the old mage said was probably the career choice route for players when they reached the first level after passing the trial period.
At that time, the players will officially be separated from the title of "caster's apprentice" and officially become a certain type of spellcaster, and he will understand why the old mage is so annoyed.
Because after the first day of darkness, the players in the village finally realized the mistake of their way of playing, and began to dig in the village tirelessly, frequently activating various career quests and main quests.
These tasks are used to give players a taste of surnames, try the characteristics of various career paths and special surnames, so that they can have a bottom of their own hearts when they get a job, and do not affect the player's final choice of career path.
In this way, the high threshold of the mage profession has become a daunting profession for players, and the warlock and wizard with affordable tuition and very low demand have become the first choice of players, after all, warlocks and wizards have almost the same spell-casting ability as mages, and warlocks and wizards who can do it can do it.
The huge difference between the spell-casting professions makes the players extremely puzzled, and at the same time causes so many players in the entire novice village, only a handful of them have joined the ranks of mages, and in two days, including Wutong, there are only a handful of caster apprentices who come to the old mage to learn orthodox spells, how can you make the old mage not angry?
Although, Wutong felt that the reason why the old mage was so angry was not because no one wanted to be a glorious mage, but probably because of the relationship between those wizards and warlock NPC mentors in the village who "grabbed business", but after learning about the difference between the routes of the three spellcasters from the old mage, he couldn't help but hesitate.
Because after comparing the advantages and disadvantages of the three spell-casting classes, it is estimated that few people can resist the temptation:
【Mage】:
Requirements: Have a certain talent (intelligence reaches 10 or more), the entry tuition fee is 150 silver (buy a trainee spell book), according to the calculation that you can learn 2 spells from the old mage every 4 levels, and when you reach level 20, you can master a total of 10 spells, each spell apprentice costs 5 gold, a total of 51 gold and 50 silver, of which 50 gold can be credited. In addition to the 2 spells per level 4, each additional spell costs 50 gold!
If you want to get all the tools and props (the cheapest variety of similar items) required by a full set of mages on that horror list, you need nearly 700 gold coins, plus tuition, a total of about 800 gold, to barely become the most basic trainee mage!
Mage advantage: There is no limit to the number of spells you can learn, and if conditions permit, you can learn a large number of spells, and the power and effect of spells are strong. And it has a lot of "spell slots"!
Mage Disadvantages: Spell casting requires spell materials, spell equipment, and chanting arcane spells and spell seals with gestures when casting. It is necessary to study the spell book every day, and "memorize" the spells that need to be used before dawn, and spells that have not been filled with "memory" into the "spell slot" cannot be used.
PS: To put it simply, it all boils down: expensive tuition, cumbersome casting, and slow casting.
Warlock:
Requirements: Have a special bloodline and a certain talent (charisma reaches 10 or more), activate the bloodline for 50 silver (buy various materials needed to activate the bloodline ritual).
Warlock Advantage: After level 0, you can automatically comprehend a spell every 4 levels, and if the charisma bonus is high enough, you can also comprehend a certain amount of additional spells. No need to memorize spells, once mastered, lifelong benefits, fast casting speed, can be cast at any time, and only need to be charged for the second cast.
Warlock Disadvantage: The number of spells he has is small, his power is weaker than that of the mage, and he cannot get new spells except for the spells he has comprehended, if he wants to get new spells on the number of existing spells, he can get the opportunity to forget 1 old spell and replace them with new spells every 2 levels (the new spell must be the same as the spell class forgotten).
ps: The actual combat surname is strong
[Wizard]:
Requirements: Have a special bloodline and a certain talent (perception reaches 10 or more), and carry out the inheritance of 100 silver (purchase the materials required in the inheritance ceremony).
Wizard advantage: After level 0, you can perform a legacy every 2 levels, get 1 spell, and if the perception bonus is high enough, you can get a quantitative amount of additional inheritance spells. There is no need to memorize and prepare spells. Spells are more powerful (the types of spells inherited by various wizard clans are different), have a certain melee ability, and can pierce armor.
Wizard Disadvantage: Since the wizard's spell casting ability comes from the "ancestor" lineage, he cannot choose his own spell type, cannot replace existing spells, and cannot obtain additional spells. The casting materials are large according to the surname, and various casting materials and casting equipment need to be consumed when casting.
----------
To be honest, the three spell-casting professions have their own advantages and disadvantages, to sum up, mages tend to be "academic", poor in actual combat, and difficult to read and fight, warlocks tend to be "practical", with strong combat effectiveness, but few changes, and wizards tend to be "practical", although they are more rigid, but various spells are very practical.
However, in comparison, in the early stage, it is far easier to choose a warlock or wizard than a mage, especially a warlock, and the mage's huge learning fund is simply not something that a novice can afford, even if he can pay it on credit!
The most important thing is that unless the mage profession does not move, if it moves, it will burn money, how can you not hesitate if you are called Wutong!?

Trouble: I don't know what happened last night, I ran my stomach more than a dozen times in one night, I almost didn't get out of the toilet in a hurry, I got up today and got out of bed by the wall, my eyes were black when I looked in the mirror, my lips were black, my little face was white, I was cold, I was sweating coldly, my calves were soft like noodles, and my little paws were trembling like a pipa.
The most tragic thing is that it was found that it was strongly pushed! I almost pouted with black eyes! O comrades! The lesson of blood tells us: A good man can't stand three packs!! Kiss!
Finally, he shouted with tears in his eyes: For the sake of Lao Ma risking his life to fight on the front line of the codeword, everyone is welcome, throw it out if you have a recommendation ticket in your pocket! Let's hang up the reminder ticket! There is a reward for the red! I try to break out before I hang up!
