Chapter 246: The Ghost of the Library (2)
Psychic magic is a special kind of magic, but it is still relegated to dark magic. There are two main branches of dark magic www.biquge.info dark elemental magic, necromancy, and spiritual magic is subsumed under necromancy. This categorization has been strongly resisted by many psychic magicians, who have been hoping to separate psychic magic from dark magic.
Of the twelve elemental magic, only two elements, light and dark, have separate branches, and the two major branches of light magic are light elemental magic and divine magic. The divine magic here is not only the light magic of the sun god, all the spells that borrow the power of the realm of the powerhouses of the god realm are called divine magic.
No one who has a respect for life will like a group of guys who play with corpses all day long, as described in ordinary web novels, the necromancers on the Heavenly Saint Continent have always been unpopular. But while necromancers aren't welcome, they're not as loud as everybody shouts.
Magicians are considered a noble profession in the eyes of civilians, but necromancers do not have such a good impression. The reason for this is simply that a handful of impoverished necromancers are fond of digging up other people's graves because of their research. In this way, a grain of rat droppings spoiled a pot of soup, and the notoriety of necromancers who loved to dig people's graves spread.
The vast majority of necromancers are attached to the armies of the Human Empire. Years of internal and external wars have provided countless legitimate sources of corpses, and the necromancer's undead legions are also the main force of humanity against orcs and fierce beasts. However, the world is so ignorant that it is difficult to change the bad reputation when it spreads, even if the bad reputation is not true.
In fact, the classification of necromancy into dark magic and divine magic under light magic is not based on magic per se, but more according to the preconceived impressions of humans. Light and darkness do not have any good or bad attributes in themselves, light does not equal good, darkness does not equal evil, everything is just a different position.
Speaking of spiritual magicians, when it comes to spiritual magicians, one magic god and two professions cannot be mentioned. These two professions are the animal tamer and puppeteer of the twelve major professions, and that Dharma God is the God of Contract, one of the first twelve Dharma Gods of mankind, and they have a very deep and complex connection with spiritual magic.
Spiritual magic is actually a kind of magic that uses spiritual power to communicate with all things in the universe. Psychic magicians believe that all elemental magic is nothing more than a category of spiritual magic, and elemental magic is nothing more than the use of mental power to communicate energy elements. They also believe that Beast Trainers and Puppeteers should be classified as Psychic Mages, rather than listing them as a separate class.
The "Outline of Mental Power Magic" that Luo Tian is reading now holds this view, and even the author of the book has renamed spiritual magic to spiritual power magic. The author of the book is a well-known legendary magician who majored in spiritual magic. The legendary magician named Pol has now become a powerhouse of the gods of the law and has been worshiped by the god of contract.
It was precisely for this reason that Luo Tian was able to find this "Outline of Spiritual Power Magic" from the classics. Before Bol worshiped under the Covenant God, this "Outline of Psychic Magic" was classified as a miscellaneous book. Books that are classified as miscellaneous are basically not approved by mainstream magicians.
Pol mentions in the book that in the early days of human magical civilization, there were no two professions, necromancer and animal tamer, and some were only psychic magicians. Later, in the process of fighting between the human race and the fierce beasts and aliens, the psychic magicians gradually divided into four parts: spiritual magicians, necromancers, animal tamers, and puppeteers.
These four newly born professions are nothing more than four different sub-schools of psychic magic, each of which is the embodiment of psychic magic, but none of them fully represents psychic magic. They represent the four evolutionary directions of psychic magic, but they do not represent psychic magic itself.
Spiritual magic is the direction of spiritual magic to the study of intelligent creatures, spiritual magic is mainly spiritual illusion, mental illusion can be used to treat the mental pain of others, and can be used to confuse the enemy. It is mainly used against creatures that have given birth to intelligence, and it does not work for creatures that do not have intelligence.
The Beast Trainer is the direction of the research of mental power magic to the manipulation of Warcraft, and the Beast Trainer mainly relies on spiritual contracts. When it comes to spiritual contracts, Pol talks about the god of contracts. As the first human spiritual power magician to reach the divine realm, it was the God of Contract who invented the spiritual contract, and it was he who opened up the four development directions of spiritual magic.
Animal taming is mainly about controlling or communicating with magical beasts through spiritual contracts. For ordinary low-level Warcraft, it is mainly a master-servant contract, and the beast tamer strictly controls the life and death of Warcraft; For the demonic beasts above level six, they have already given birth to wisdom, and it is generally an equal contract, and if the beast tamer is strong enough, he can also sign a master-servant contract.
Necromancy is the direction of psychic magic to the study of biological corpses, and necromancy mainly communicates and manipulates soul bodies. The soul body is not the same as the soul, and the soul body should be the soul energy group to be precise. Souls can be used both to attack the souls of living organisms and to manipulate corpses to build legions of the undead.
Puppetry is the direction of mental magic to object control research, puppetry is mainly through the core of mental power to control the puppet action. The puppeteer's puppet is like a technological civilization mecha and robot, and whether it is powerful or not depends on the quality of the puppet's own materials and spiritual power core. The spiritual core was also invented by the God of Contract.
More than two-thirds of this "Outline of Psychic Magic" is devoted to the introduction of psychic magic, necromancy, puppetry, and animal taming, and their connection to psychic magic, and less than one-third of the pages are really about psychic magic.
There are three kinds of mental magic that are really recorded in the book "Outline of Mental Power Magic": mental manipulation, spiritual communication, and spiritual contract. However, the book only recorded the specific cultivation methods of the spiritual communication technique, and the cultivation methods of the other two spiritual power magic were not mentioned at all, but Luo Tian obviously felt that the author wanted to write but did not write it.
After the Psychic Communication Technique is cast, it can communicate with all things, and the specific effect varies depending on the object of the cast. Cast it on the Wisdom Beasts and the Aliens, and you will be able to understand their words; If you cast it on yourself, you can also make the intelligent monsters and aliens understand your words.
By casting it on non-intelligent beings, you can communicate their instinctive consciousness and understand their intentions; When you cast it on an inanimate object, you can perceive some specific information about that object. These two situations will have different effects depending on the caster's mental health, that is, the amount of information obtained from the target is different.
It is precisely because of this spiritual power communication technique that human beings have a new profession, appraiser. However, all magicians can perform psychic communication, so appraiser is not an independent profession, but should be regarded as a side hustle for magicians.
