Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Illumination Technique
The Light Technique, to be exact, is not even a spell, it is just a level zero trick, and many mage apprentices who have not been systematically trained can cast this spell.
But Arthur was still very serious about preparing the spell.
What is the caster's spiritual power, this can only be detected when casting the spell, she is like a ghost lying at the bottom of the sea of spiritual consciousness, always hiding at the edge of the caster's attention, it is difficult to catch.
The staff in Arthur's hand was also carved with runes of the Luminatura spell. The runes were carved into the oak staff in Mithril and layered on top of each other, extending from the staff to the crystal junction at the top.
Arthur's spirit at the moment was preoccupied, trying to draw this pattern in the sea of consciousness.
The reason is very simple, he regards himself as a mage, and the staff in front of him and the magic crystal on it are the magic net.
Mages, like alchemists, spell models are their tools.
Each spell model is composed of countless tiny runes, each of which is a spirit of the wizarding world, and they have the true power of the wizarding world hidden in them.
With Arthur's current realm, there is no level of manipulation and research to understand runes.
But it's okay to follow the existing spell models.
At this moment, in his sea of consciousness, countless tiny runes like stars were accumulating and accumulating in the center of the sea of consciousness little by little according to his thoughts, and he saw that the same light spell model engraved on the staff outside was about to be piled up. This is mental power? Well, there seems to be some truth to that.
It might have been more accurate for him to describe it in terms like telekinesis, or will.
Using his mind to control runes out of thin air in the Sea of Consciousness and build a spell model was also an unprecedentedly difficult process for him.
But fortunately, after all, he had the experience of contacting Kaifeng's cheats, and he was able to manipulate his own sea of consciousness.
At this time, Arthur had a real feeling.
In life, people always think that fantasy is easy, but in fact, in fact, the process of fantasy is to depict every node and every detail of the things in the fantasy very clearly, and how difficult it is, the difficulty is comparable to building a high-rise building in reality.
You're a builder, you're hammering the foundation, you're a designer, you're going to sketch a solid frame for the building, and more importantly, you're stacking every rebar and every piece of cement to where it should be.
That's how Arthur is now.
Little by little, he completed this whole magnificent configuration in his mind.
It's like building a Great Wall alone!
You can't make a mistake in your mind every second or minute, or the whole building will go wrong and collapse.
I don't know how many failed attempts he went through, and finally he finally completed the construction of a complete light spell model in the sea of consciousness, like a shining pyramid, suspended above the surface of the sea of consciousness!
At this moment, in Arthur's eyes, the staff in his hand seemed to have become larger, and it seemed to have become transparent, and the body of the oak staff was no longer there, only a bright silver rune that shone like magic infused in the void.
After discarding the staffs that cover people's hearts, you will find that these bright silver runes that are constantly floating in the void are actually spell models of light magic, and the so-called rune spell models of alchemy are actually the same thing as the spell models of mages.
Their structure is only slightly different, like a topological figure of geometry in different shapes. These are explained in detail in Victor's Book of Apprentices.
Although Victor, the cheap teacher, did not have a good image in the eyes of his new disciple, he always gave him a certain feeling of bitterness and hatred, passionate and generous, and always ready to do something big. It feels very unstable. But every word of his experience in alchemy was a jewel for Arthur, and there were many mysteries hidden in it.
In the eyes of his time-traveler disciple Arthur, Victor is more like a passionate forerunner than a mentor, he seems to have a deep prejudice against mages, full of malice towards this world dominated by mages and gods, and he doesn't know what he has experienced to make him what he is now, always making people feel like they will stand up at any time, roar towards the void, roar at the gods, and become the martyr Bruno.
But in any case, Master Victor's strength in the field of magic and alchemy is real, and he is the kind of master who really has his own personal opinions, and if he is placed on the earth, he is definitely comparable to Newton and Einstein.
It's a pity that the world didn't give him this opportunity.
In Arthur's Apprenticeship, he recounted his assumption that all of the spellcaster professions in the modern world of Loraine: magicians, alchemists, enchanters, summoners, and even those notorious dark wizards who could only hide in the dark corners of the continent and were incompatible with all the major nations on all continents, were probably all a profession in ancient times.
It's a bold idea, but it's not unreasonable.
Therefore, it is easy for a top mage to become an alchemist, and similarly, once the alchemist's spiritual power is tempered, then he is also easy to become a mage.
The arcane path is the same path, and this is the secret between the different classes of the caster.
With the continuous carving of runes in his mind, the process of establishing a spell model, what is spiritual power, at this moment Arthur has already faintly understood.
Mental power is mental power.
It is a fusion of a caster's powerful self-awareness.
The consciousness of an intelligent creature is as vast as the sea, but most of the consciousness is usually hidden at the bottom of the sea of consciousness, and it is difficult to be captured by the owner of consciousness.
It's like your nose doesn't have to control it, it still breathes on its own, it's like the occasional encounter with something, your brain hasn't reacted yet, but your subconscious mind has already taken control of your body.
If all of one's wisdom is like a sea, then the consciousness that can truly control oneself is only a small part of it, just like the iceberg that occasionally rises in the ocean and emerges above the surface of the sea.
Only those with strong self-willpower and strong minds can truly harness these subconscious minds that lurk at the bottom of the abyss like ghosts, and realize their most powerful potential.
These people are born mages.
And now, Arthur is also walking towards this step.
Arthur's light spell model in the sea of consciousness is almost complete,
He could already sense that there was some potential connection between this spell model and the spell model on the staff outside.
Arthur felt that something was happening in the sea of consciousness.
And at this moment, the staff in Arthur's eyes, the spell model of the light spell has begun to quietly light up at some point, and the dense energy is transmitted along the rune circuit, converging to the top, and that position is the magic crystal.
Under the continuous traction of the rune energy, the magic crystal underwent a small range of unknown changes inside, these changes gathered together, and in the end, it finally bloomed on a large scale at the top, and the entire magic crystal energy exploded, and in an instant, the energy inside the magic crystal was under the traction of the rune energy, like a small sun, unrestrained release of light and heat to the surroundings, illuminating the entire space.
It worked!
He successfully performed the Illumination Technique.
At this moment, Arthur's heart was not as excited as he imagined, but he was not indifferent.
After all, it meant that he had finally embarked on the arcane path and become a true spellcaster.
Although this spellcaster uses a magic staff, he only relies on magic props to cast spells, and he only casts the simplest level zero trick light technique. But it's also possible to cast spells.
This means that the caster's door has been opened to him.
At this moment, Arthur knew that if he could go to the crystal ball in the Mage Guild to verify it again, he would definitely be able to pass the test mentally.
This is mental power, this is spellcasting.
The successful performance of the Light Technique allowed Arthur to verify his thoughts.
Sure enough, if the magic crystal is compared to the energy of the earth, then the spell model or rune is the converter of energy, a device that can "detonate" the energy in some correct way, and as for the spiritual power of the caster, it is the key, or rather, the switch?
Arthur is not a native apprentice after all, he is a time-traveler, and the mind of a time-traveler is always full of the unique thinking mode of earthlings, although in Victor's apprenticeship book, there are many different and very reasonable explanations, but Arthur himself still understands the magic of this world in his own way.
Of course, this method cannot be said to be correct, but at least it also makes Arthur's understanding of magic more three-dimensional and more vivid.
So, now, does it mean that he can use the energy in the magic crystal to charge the secret book of unsealing in his body?
By this time, Arthur was finally a little excited.
