Chapter 163: The Advantages and Disadvantages of Magic Weapons and Talismans
163.
"There are many advantages to using magic weapons to release spells compared to releasing spells from people. ”
"1. He skipped the calculation link and just copied it, so that the process of computing could be avoided and the spell release process was greatly accelerated. ”
"2. It is different from so many meridian choices in the human body. The release route of these magic weapons is fixed, and when released, it will automatically run along the release route, and there is no need to use divine consciousness to control it, so the decompression process is much faster than decompressing in the human body meridians. ”
When Gang Cheng Li used this wooden shield, it took 10 seconds from beginning to end.
To ensure that the time is not fixed for each release.
Cheng Li tested it again.
However, before the next test, Cheng Li waited for 10 minutes.
"This wooden shield, according to the display information in the sea of knowledge, is called the spirit wood shield, and after use, it will activate a spirit shield to block the attack directly in front of it. The duration can be 10 minutes, and during this period, you can withstand 3 spell attacks of the Great Perfection level during the Qi Refining Period. ”
Therefore, Cheng Li waited for 10 minutes, and the spirit wood shield really lifted the spirit shield effect.
"Well, the spell type of this Spirit Wood Shield is a one-time spell like mimicry, not a maintenance spell. ”
Cheng Li himself made a simple classification of the spells he had learned during this time.
One is that the mimic is the same as this spirit wood shield, which is released, and after the spell is generated, it will not consume additional mana to maintain, and it can be regarded as a one-time spell.
The other is the wind magic, after the spell is released, it needs to continue to consume mana to maintain the mana state. It's called maintenance spells.
Also, one-time spells, although the release process is one-time. However, when released, it can be subdivided into continuous spells and single spells.
Spells like Mimic and Spirit Wood Shield are spells that can last for a certain period of time, while some spells that are activated and have no lasting effect are single-shot spells.
Therefore, in terms of continuous effect, it can be roughly divided into single spells, continuous spells, and maintenance spells.
This is classified in terms of continuous effect, and as for the classification in terms of the functional effect produced, there are even more types.
That's for later.
At this time, after Cheng Li lifted the effect of the spirit shield from the spirit wood shield, he re-probed his divine sense into the core of the Dao spirit wood shield, and then gave the order to activate.
Then, the spirit wood shield immediately responded to Cheng Li's divine sense command, and the spiritual power flow in the spirit stone was immediately sucked out, and the 107 spiritual power flows quickly into the white yang eye of the Tai Chi pattern in about 2 seconds.
Then, it took another 3 seconds to complete the rotation of the Tai Chi pattern, and then, the 1712-bit spiritual power flow in the white yang eye was transformed into a 299-bit encapsulated mana.
In the end, the 299-bit encapsulated mana group was immediately shot out by the white yang eye, and after a fixed release route, it took 5 seconds to flow out of the release route, complete the decompression, and was quickly released.
Then the spirit wood shield once again stimulated that layer of blue and blue spirit shield, shrouding Cheng Li.
From the time Cheng Li's divine consciousness issued the command to activate in the spirit wood shield to the completion of the spirit shield's activation, the whole process only took 10 seconds.
This release speed is undoubtedly very fast. At least it's much faster than Cheng Li releasing a spell himself.
What's more, magic weapons can be reused, as long as the number of spirit stones is sufficient, you can use them as many times as you want.
"In this way, the two most important pieces of equipment for cultivators, the talisman seal and the magic weapon, I have completed the analysis of their general principles. Although its true core, such as the core of the Dharma Weapon Tai Chi pattern, its replication mechanism. Or the mechanism of the sigil storage and encapsulation mana, I don't know much yet.
"But at least the general process and principle of operation have been understood. ”
Cheng Li pondered: "Now that the two are clear, the comparison is obvious. ”
"The speed of the release of the talisman seal is faster than that of the magic weapon. Because the rune seal is directly stored and decompressed, it can be released directly after activation. None of my sigils were cast at a rate of less than 1 second. And this Spirit Wood Shield takes 10 seconds. ”
"The speed of casting is the biggest advantage of the sigil.
"But because of each rune, the cultivator needs to store the mana group that has been decompressed into it. Therefore, the cost is relatively expensive, and it is a disposable consumable product, and the cost performance of use is relatively low, and the cost of use is relatively high. ”
"And the magic weapon, although the casting speed is a little slower, but it can be reused. Moreover, refining magic weapons is a process once and for all, and as long as the sacrificial training is completed when using it, the cultivator only needs to use his divine sense to issue orders from beginning to end, and what is consumed is also the spiritual power of the spirit stone. It is highly repeatable and cost-effective. ”
In this case, the sigil is more suitable for use in more urgent times. The usual use is mainly a magic weapon. ”
"Of course, this is based on the premise that there are enough spirit stones. Using magic weapons to unleash certain spells requires the consumption of spirit stones. If there is no spirit stone, it will need to consume the mana of the cultivator.
"But relying on the mana of the cultivator to drive the magic weapon is a bit too expensive. For example, the spell activation of this spirit wood shield requires the consumption of 1712 bits of mana, and my Tianyan is only 2048 bits of mana. It is equivalent to activating a spirit wood shield, and it will almost consume the mana stored along my field.
"And use the dantian to supplement the consumption of the magic weapon, because there is no need to calculate, the same as using the rune seal to activate the magic trick. Therefore, the transmission speed is very fast, and the dantian has no time to supplement the edge of the field, and because it is not an operation, the Taiji cyclone will not speed up the output, but it is only rotating naturally, and it cannot supplement the loss of the edge of the field at all. ”
This was just Cheng Li's speculation, and in order to further confirm it, he decided to do another test.
In the introduction of the use of the Wood Spirit Shield in Zhihai, in addition to using spirit stones as a power source, the use of the Wood Spirit Shield can also use the mana of the cultivator as a power source in case of emergency.
Let the cultivator be the power source for using the magic weapon, and the method is similar to using the talisman seal.
In addition to the corresponding sacrificial refining method, the wood spirit shield also has a corresponding use method.
Cheng Li was in the field, and after compiling a section of the method for using the Wood Spirit Shield with his divine sense, he stored this method in the register of the Taiji cyclone.
Then run the recipe for using it.
The Taiji cyclone will automatically absorb 1712 bits of mana from Tianyan into the Taiji cyclone, and then pass through the "Kunmen" channel, and directly encapsulate and output the 1712 bits of mana without calculation.
After the output, this mana group will pass through that special passage meridian, and without changing and uncompressing the pulse ring, it will be released, and then poured into the Dao Wood Spirit Shield.
The subsequent process is the same as using spirit stones. The 1712-bit mana infused will eventually fall into the white yang eye of the Tai Chi pattern at the core of the magic weapon.
Then it was copied and turned into the same as the sacrificial mana. Finally, it is shot out again, and after being uncompressed by the release route, the activation of the spirit wood shield is completed.
Cheng Li calculated the whole process, and it took about 20 seconds.
It will be twice as slow as using spirit stones before.
In addition, in this process, Cheng Li's dantian mana was greatly consumed.
"No wonder, normal magic weapons are stimulated with spirit stones, it turns out that this is the reason ......"
