Chapter 341 [Witchcraft]
The beast soul fused in the horcrux is still alive, and there is almost no damage, it is basically a complete beast soul, as for the method of control, similar to the magic props of the elves, the magic props are the use of a magic array specially used for control, such a magic array is very simple, and it does not require much magic, while the Horcruxes of the half-orcs use witchcraft, when the half-orc warriors and war lords or shamans with magic power input magic power, they can activate and control the Horcruxes.
However, Horcruxes also have a lot of limitations, first of all, it is difficult to make a composite type of Horcruxes, magic props, as long as the material is suitable, you can engrave multiple magic arrays, and then use the control magic array to control magic props to play different effects, but Horcruxes can only fuse a beast soul on one appliance, and except for a small number of rare special Warcraft, the beast soul of most Warcraft has only one or one effect, so Horcruxes can only have one effect.
In addition, the consumption of Horcruxes for magic crystals is more than that of magic props with the same effect, because magic props will only consume magic crystals when they need to be used, relying on magic crystals to provide magic power, but even when Horcruxes are not in use, they must also use magic crystals to nourish the beast soul, and the beast soul that has lost its body cannot supplement the consumption of the beast soul by eating or the like, and can only rely on the magic crystal, if there is no magic crystal to nourish for a long time, the beast soul will gradually weaken, and the high-level beast soul will gradually degrade, And the low-level beast souls will gradually dissipate.
Fortunately, even if it is a high-level beast soul, if it is not used, if it only nourishes the beast soul to maintain its existence and level, it does not need too much magic power, and an ordinary magic crystal stone can also support it for a long time, just like the soul lamp in He Ping's hand, there is nothing abnormal at this time, just like an ordinary oil lamp, but if you use magic to activate it, the wick of the oil lamp will emit a special flame, which is actually the result of the beast soul being embodied through witchcraft, which can be called soul fire.
As long as the soul fire of the soul lamp is ignited, it will continue to consume more mana, but if it is always in the state of extinguishing the soul fire, then the magic crystal installed from the soul lamp will continue to consume mana, but the consumption speed is very slow, just like the soul lamp in front of him is actually the trophy captured by the elf from the half-orc in a half-orc attack many years ago, but after so many years, the magic crystal installed inside has not been consumed.
The witchcraft of the half-orcs is also very wonderful, before He Ping felt that the magic of the elves was very powerful, like the elf elders, when dealing with the trolls of the half-orcs, it was almost an instant kill, there was no suspense, the trolls did not have any resistance, but what about witchcraft? The only battle He Ping had seen between the two sides was the one he had participated in when he first came to the Elven Realm, and in that battle, the half-orc shaman shaman did not use witchcraft very often, and the half-orc warrior and the war lord used Horcruxes the same frequency.
That is, the weapon in the hands of the war lord and the plate armor on his body are considered horcruxes, the hardness of the weapon is very high, and the defense of the plate armor is amazing, and the shaman wizard in addition to jumping around there, which seems to make the half-orc warriors a little more violent, so that the morale of the half-orc troops can be maintained, that is, the original kind of witchcraft that transfers damage, and does not use direct damage and abnormal state witchcraft on the elves.
Therefore, He Ping was not optimistic about witchcraft before, thinking that witchcraft was much worse than magic, and it was not very easy to use, so he had never studied witchcraft and had not tried to use witchcraft, but at this time his view of witchcraft had changed a little, witchcraft was not as rough as the civilization of half-orcs, and the shaman was considered a wise man among half-orcs, and his vision was more long-term than that of ordinary half-orcs, and the witchcraft used also had a perfect system.
Not to mention other more advanced witchcraft, just an alchemy that uses witchcraft to make Horcruxes, it can already be seen that witchcraft is very ingenious, and the beast soul is fused to the Horcrux equipment while keeping it intact, and the beast soul is always in a living state, which is equivalent to changing a body for the beast soul, and can also use witchcraft to control the beast soul, so that the Horcrux can achieve the predetermined effect, and can also let the magic crystal nourish the beast soul, so that the effect of the Horcrux is always maintained.
He Ping had a feeling that although the attributeless obsidian of the Giant Beast Paradise was the key to connecting the sea of knowledge and allowing his own consciousness to enter the sea of Iverios, but if he wanted to solve the black hole in the sea of his knowledge and cure his strange disease, the key was the witchcraft of the half-orcs, and that black hole was likely to be the beast soul of the devouring beast, so how to interfere with the beast soul, the best way was to use the witchcraft that extracted and preserved the beast soul in the first place.
The magic of the elves is to conform to nature, connect themselves with nature, let their thoughts affect nature, amplify natural phenomena, and finally achieve the effect of magic, while the witchcraft of the half-orcs is the opposite, using magic to cause unnatural phenomena, for example, the beast soul of the monster will gradually dissipate after leaving the body of the demon god, which is a natural phenomenon, but witchcraft can maintain the beast soul, for example, if it is attacked, it will be damaged, even if there is a defensive attack, it will be on the defense, which is also a natural phenomenon, But sorcery is able to transfer the damage of an attack to someone else.
He Ping put down the soul lamp in his hand and closed his eyes, he had already tested the magic of the elves, but the witchcraft of the half-orcs was still a novice, after all, he had not seen much witchcraft, so he wanted to test whether he could use witchcraft, as long as he could use it, he would be able to experience it himself, the more he knew about witchcraft, the greater the chance of clearing the black hole in the sea of Iverios, but what kind of witchcraft should be used, He Ping did not have a clear idea.
Divert damage? No, that kind of witchcraft first needs to make a voodoo doll, and after making a voodoo doll, you also need to get bodily fluids or hair from the target who bears damage for yourself, so that the voodoo doll can be successfully effective, and the most important thing is that the target who bears damage for yourself must be not far from your side, this kind of practice, and the orcs, a race that is still in the wilderness, can do it, and the elves will definitely not do this.
Horcrux crafting? This process will use a lot of witchcraft, such as the extraction and preservation of the beast soul, such as the fusion of the beast soul and the instrument, such as the use of magic crystals to nourish the beast soul, such as the control of the Horcrux so that the Horcrux can exert the corresponding effect, etc., but the problem is that there is no magic beast at hand, and there is no instrument to make Horcruxes, even if you know witchcraft, there is no condition to use witchcraft, so Horcrux production is not good.
After thinking about it, He Ping found that compared with the magic of the half-orcs and the elves, because it is the opposite, it is an unnatural phenomenon, so the effect of many witchcraft is very peculiar, if applied well, it is even more practical than the magic of the elves, but the problem is that almost all witchcraft has certain side effects, just like stand-in witchcraft, the side effect is that the target who bears damage for himself will be harmed, and other witchcraft is more or less similar.
For example, the orc troops often use to maintain morale during battle, and the sorcery that makes the orc warriors more violent, although this kind of sorcery can be called bloodthirsty magic, although it can increase the attack power and attack desire of the orc warriors for a certain period of time. Hope, let the orcs not be afraid of death, charge forward vigorously, and can also forcibly stimulate the physical potential of the orcs, as well as inhibit the pain nerves of the orcs, so that the combat effectiveness of the orc troops has been improved, but after the effect is over, the orcs will enter a weakened state, and the more serious ones may even be injured, weakened or even killed!
In contrast, the magic of the elves is because it conforms to nature and amplifies natural phenomena, so there may be nothing peculiar in the effect, they are all conceivable effects, but there are no side effects, whether it is the elf warriors themselves blessing themselves with magic, or the magicians using magic to increase the combat effectiveness of the warriors, after the effect is over, it will just return to the previous state, and there will be no additional other conditions.
