“...... Witchcraft, spells, arcane, supernatural powers, psionic powers, bloodlines, the history of human beings using supernatural powers is so long, it is a history that is even older than the long, long time in fairy tales, such a long time, enough to annihilate most of the real records, so that we can't really touch the historical truth of human beings from the distant wizarding age, the mythological age to the dark age, the magic age, and the present day, and we can't really appreciate the ladder of supernatural evolution step by step......"

“...... However, all existence must have traces, all forces must have fulcrums, and all phenomena must have an essence, and when we go back to the source and ask a few more whys, we will ask, witchcraft, spells, arcane arts, psionic powers, and bloodlines are so different, but they can all achieve the miracle of dominating reality with individual thoughts, so do they have common characteristics, do they have the same essence?"

“...... Perhaps not every spellcaster in this world pays attention to the principles of the spells they cast, just as most people would never waste time thinking about who they are or where they came from. However, there will always be some special people in this world who always like to ask why, who like to think about everything that seems inconsequential, like dear Sophie......"

"Yes, dear Sophie, you are not lonely, and of course you are not a child who is withdrawn, strange, or has brain problems in the eyes of others, there are always some children in this world who like to ask a few more whys like you, and of course the world needs children like you to ask a few more whys......"

"In fact, in the world, there is a course, a job, a discipline, a knowledge, a career, which needs children like you who like to ask more whys to open up, and this is the Arcane ......"

"The first lesson of arcane: what is the nature of the world. Only by understanding the world's abilities and establishing a correct outlook on life and methodology can we better understand the world, transform the world, and form an independent world outlook......"

"What is the composition of the world? If we ask a wizard this question, then his answer is usually 'all things are animist', everything is famous, he will think that the world is spiritual, alive, alive, emotional, and even 'famous', and the existence of the world may be a dream of some supreme being, or a life conceived in an egg of chaos, or a world opened up by a bull, or the body of a giant after he died, or a fragment of a pair of serpents falling from the bite...... Everything in a world can be created with a sound, a name, or even a color......"

"If we ask a certain mage this question, then his answer is generally that the world is composed of some kind of 'element', and the division of these elements may be different, they may be the basic division of the four elements of earth, water, fire, and wind, or it may be the opposition and unity of light and darkness, and it is more likely that the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth are reincarnated, and many other kinds of divisions. Of course, this is only the classification of the mages of the classical elemental school, if it is the mages of the classical astrological school, they may think that everything in the world is composed of stars, and the trinity of the real starry sky, the destiny starry sky, and the real starry sky constitute the systematic system of astrology and the basis of astrology. Of course, in addition to the elemental school and the astrological school, the other classical schools also have their own interpretations......"

"However, these seemingly disparate or even unrelated explanations can achieve a similar effect to some extent, and the supernatural forces developed from these different worldviews are basically capable of dominating the world and transforming the world, so is there something more essential behind them?"

"We arcanists believe that the answer is yes. The world is not only made of spirits, nor is it made of more than the elements, whether it is a wizard, a mage, a warlock, a psyker, a paranormal person, or even us arcanists, all we can touch is really one side of the world. It's like a blind person stroking an elephant, and everyone touches both elephants and not all elephants......"

"So, the mysteries of the world are so vast, how can we find the truth of the world?"

"And that's what our arcane is going to explore and study!"

"The path of arcane exploration, it's better to ask a little more why. For example, how is the world created? Is there some kind of will or meaning behind it? Does a person have life after death? If so, in what form will it exist and where will it go? If not, what is the meaning of the existence of life? And even further, how to define the meaning of the existence of life, and so on, basically there is no end to the questions we want to ask. ”

"In fact, the path of arcane exploration is like decryption, we are like being in a vast labyrinth that is not pervasive, exploration, trial and error, conjecture, thinking, summarizing, verifying, empirical, etc., are the best helpers for us to get out of the labyrinth!"

"Magic has all kinds of magical effects and abilities, some of which we know why, but many more that we don't know why. It's like watching people do magic. Since we did not understand the mystery, we asked: How can a magician turn two or three white silk scarves into a living rabbit? Many people also have a sense of disbelief about the magic of this world, just as we see a magician suddenly pull a rabbit out of an empty hat. ”

"As for the sudden appearance of the rabbit, we know that it is just a trick by a magician. We just want to know how he did it. When it comes to things about the world, however, things are a little different. We know that the world is not all a trick of a magician, because we live in it and we are a part of it. "Long look at the first release of the Chinese network

"In fact, we are the little white rabbit that was pulled out of our hats. The only difference between us and the White Rabbit is that the White Rabbit doesn't understand that he is participating in a magic show. We're the opposite. We feel like we're part of something mysterious, and we want to understand the mysteries of it. ”

As for the little white rabbit, it is best to compare it to the whole universe, and we humans are microscopic insects that live deep in the rabbit's fur. However, the Arcanist always tries to climb up the rabbit's fine hairs in order to get a good view of the magician. ”

"Alright, after talking about so many boring topics about arcane at length, maybe you're feeling a little impatient, so let's get down to business first! Let's talk about how to learn arcane, and append a few interesting little tricks as after-class exercises......"

Carl continued to look through the pages and found that the handwriting on the thin page seemed endless, and when he finished reading one page, the content of the next page was automatically displayed.

"This is a letter from a friend of mine, who taught me a lot of knowledge, but also made me feel that the world is a stranger place!"

Sophie said softly, the power of the "Arcane" brought her into a magical world, but it also made her a strange child in the eyes of everyone, a girl who asked questions about everything, which made her feel lonely and aggrieved.

Carl didn't notice this little emotion on Sophie's part, he was completely absorbed by the contents of the strange letter, and couldn't help but read on.

"Arcane is not fundamentally different from witchcraft and spells, and they can transform into each other under certain conditions. Even because the Arcanist has not been transformed from the mages of the classical school for a long time, the Arcanist's spells are basically not much different from the mage's spells in terms of effect. ”

"Still, there is a big difference between an arcanist and a mage of the classical school. Regardless of the differences in meditation methods, the classical school of mages mostly relied on spells and gestures and spell casting materials, and a classical school mage who wanted to learn instantaneous spells must learn spell specialties such as spell instantaneous spells and spell silence. ”

Arcanists are different, because the arcanists have a unique cognitive world, they are learning to study the worldview methodology of the arcane to construct the world, and directly construct their own cognition of the world and the understanding of spells in their own souls, forming a unique cognitive world of their own, and the arcanists can engrave a structural model of a spell in the soul through the cognitive world analysis spell, when the arcanist casts a spell, he does not need to rely on any spells and gestures or even materials, and can directly inject magic into the spell model built in the soul, and directly instantaneously send spells！”

"This unique way of casting spells of the arcanist is called the arcane ring, and mages of different levels have different numbers of spell slots because of the different carrying capacity of the soul and the depth of the magic power, these spell slots are spells that are solidified in the depths of the arcanist's soul, similar to the innate abilities of supernatural creatures, all of which can be instantaneously silent, except for being limited by the total amount of mental power and the refresh time of mana injection, they are not bound by any external conditions! Of course, in addition to the spell slots engraved in their souls, mages with arcane rings can also cast spells through normal spell casting methods such as spell gestures......"

"If you want to learn this way of casting spells from an arcane master, you must first form your own cognitive world, engrave the analytic spell structure model in your soul, and then refine the magic power accumulated by meditation into a magic ring, and combine it with the cognitive world to form a unique arcane ring......!

"The Arcanist is basically the same as the magic apprentice in the apprenticeship stage, and it is also divided into three stages: apprenticeship, formal, and advanced, but unlike the magic apprentice, the arcane apprentice not only needs to accumulate magic power through meditation to improve his mental power, but also learn how to analyze the spell structure, and how to engrave the spell structure model in the soul. And when the Arcane Apprentice actually builds the Arcane Ring, he officially progresses to become a true Arcanist. ”
