Chapter 43: Second-level spells
After more than a month of adaptation, Don En is already familiar with his body after promotion.
He was ready and decided to burn the second-level magic as soon as possible.
For the next few days, Donn's life was as stable as it was.
During the day, he participates in the hunting activities of the hunting team, and by the way, he investigates the news of Frost Grass.
In the evening, he began to spend two hours making white wax.
At night, he began to meditate and regain his mana.
In the early morning, he flipped through magic books to enrich his knowledge and did a little magic experiment.
Every few days, he would discuss and communicate with Marianda and others about the doubts that arose in the process of learning magic, so that his magic level would gradually improve.
For magicians, there are two ways to learn spells.
First, through reading magic books or the teachings of senior mages, you can gradually master the basic theory, formation principle, spell configuration, energy operation mode, and spell effect of a spell, so that you can master the spell with a solid foundation and step by step.
On the other hand, magicians can also learn spells quickly by reading magic scrolls.
Because the magic scroll is directly made by the scribe and then encapsulated into the scroll.
When the user reads the scroll, he can clearly and intuitively understand the fundamental principle and operation process of the spell from the spiritual level, and then burn the spell model into the magician's magic book.
Ordinary magicians basically rely on scrolls to learn various spells.
However, this is not the case with Arcanists, who are not limited by spell slots when casting spells.
However, they need to fundamentally understand and master the configuration and derivation principles of spells.
If an arcane master relies on spell books to cast spells and does not master spells fundamentally, the probability of his successful spell casting will not exceed thirty percent, and in the heat of battle, a thirty percent spell casting success rate is undoubtedly a bad thing.
Moreover, spell scrolls that record magic are very expensive, and the simplest zero-level spell scroll can cost more than one silver coin. As for the first-level spell scroll, the price is around a dozen silver coins.
When it comes to second-level magic scrolls, each scroll costs more than thirty silver coins. Some rare and practical precious magic scrolls can even be sold for a whopping fifty silver coins.
Not the top family, they can't buy many scrolls at all.
Even if it was Marianda, there were only three high-level scrolls above level 4 brought out from the Floating City.
The first second-level spell that Don was about to learn was the Acid Arrow.
Recently, Donn has developed a deep understanding of strong acids because of the manufacture of white wax.
Moreover, he had already learned the first-level magic and second-level strong acid balls, and this time learning a systematic second-level magic strong acid arrow was basically a sure thing for Tang En.
The Acid Arrow is a ranged attack spell with a cast strength of around 8 degrees and a cost of 17 mana.
Based on Donn's own 100 mana, he can now use six Acid Arrows per day.
Strong acid arrows are second-level magic that can cause damage of 30 HP, and six strong acid arrows can hit the opponent in a row, which is enough to kill an unprotected level 7 warrior.
Don carefully read the magic book he had copied from Marianda's hand, and carefully deduced the magic formula for the strong acid arrow.
Thinking about how to simplify the magic configuration and take up as little mental space as possible.
He calculated the magic structure on the paper, and waited until he thought it through before inducing the magic in the plane, carefully carving the magic configuration in his mind.
Don's mental power was very strong, and he succeeded in introducing magic into his mind without any discomfort, and under his careful care, a trace of magic began to fill the magic configuration firmly.
It only took two hours for Tang En to successfully burn the strong acid arrow in his mental space.
Since the goddess of magic, Mithra, descended on the Reos plane, she gradually began to master the magic power of the entire plane and began to control the magic net of the Reos plane.
Since then, the Arcanists who have explored the mysteries of the world have gradually become disgusted by the goddess of magic.
Years of fighting with the goddess of magic have caused the Arcanist's legacy to fade.
After all, compared to the Arcanist, it is easier for ordinary mages to advance, even in terms of combat power alone, although the Arcanist is explosive, but compared to the diversity of spells, the Arcanist is still far from being comparable to ordinary mages.
Now, except for a few floating cities hidden outside the plane, it is difficult to see arcanists in the entire Rios continent.
In the Age of Magic, magicians were limited in their research and use of spells by the goddess of magic, i.e., magic nets and spell slots.
But every formed spell is normalized and standardized.
Although the mage also needs to be studied, and many new spells have been created.
But these spells must be recognized by the goddess of magic or the magic web, and fixed and regulated.
Even an Arcanist has to induce magic when casting spells.
And the magic net has been controlled by the goddess of magic, and the arcanist casts a spell, which is actually the permission to steal the magic web.
So every arcanist will be hit by the followers of the goddess of magic.
On the current continent of Reos, the belief in the goddess of magic is not strong.
Except for a few magicians, ordinary people rarely believe in this powerful goddess.
Especially in the last thousand years, the situation of the goddess of magic seems to have been terrible.
The last time she answered a pastor's prayer was forty years ago.
For this reason, followers of the goddess of magic have kept a very low profile in recent decades, rarely appearing in public missionary settings.
Since becoming an Arcanist, Don is not afraid of the blows of the believers of the Goddess of Magic.
But in order to reduce the trouble, he also needs to make a magic book like Marianda, and do a little basic disguise, so as to deceive some outsiders.
It just so happened that Don knew that Marianda had a surplus magic book in his hand.
This magic book comes from the priest of the Church of Light, and has long been a trophy in the hands of Marianda.
Don now only wants to exchange the magic book from Marianda for a lesser price.
Arcanists don't use spellbooks to cast spells, but they can learn some new magic from the spells stored in the spellbooks.
But a good magic book is not cheap at all, even a bronze magic book stocked with sixteen spells will cost at least twenty gold coins.
A bronze magic book can only store one level 3 magic, three level 2 magic, six level 1 magic, and six level zero magic.
Although Don has saved a few gold coins now, he is still a long way from buying a magic book.
