Chapter 9: Bring your brain, enter the classroom, and learn
Gustav felt the gaze around him.
More than a month has passed since this stage of study, and even the difficulty of the basic course has made Gustav a little overhead.
Arcane Basics, Standard Model Building, Magical Creature Exploration I, Arcane History, Apotheria, Arcane Offense and Defense...... There are eleven such courses. Generally speaking, people who are capable of becoming arcanists are considered to have a very good level of intelligence, and such a course is not too intensive.
"A new member is here today. In the Arcane Basics class, the instructor introduced. "Gustav, for some personal reasons, he delayed his enrollment. ”
Feeling the burning gaze around him, Gustav was a little nervous.
Judging from what we have learned from some sources, due to the hereditary traits and the inducing effect of one's own mental power on the underlying genetic material, if the ability to learn arcane is likened to a trait, it is obvious that the descendants of the arcanist have a better chance of continuing this trait.
In other words, many of the people Gustav faced were descendants of the 'regular army'.
The apprentice's work is arranged in a circular pattern according to a ladder.
"Alright, Gustav, find a place. The lecturer said, not revealing the closeness or distancing attitude.
............
"Continuing from the previous lesson, an introduction to the basics of the arcane. Today we're going to start with the transformation of Arcane Source Energy, and the main inducement method when using Source Energy. This knowledge will be extremely important as you do Arcane Standard Model building and Arcane Practice classes. When the time comes, any mistake in guidance will lead to unpredictable consequences. "Once you get into the lecture mode, the lecturer's speech speed becomes very fast.
Gustav noticed that the person next to him took out a pen and paper and began to record, with an astonishing speed of his hands.
"As for the transformation form of arcane source energy, this has been preliminarily described during the Arcane Empire. Liberate the magical energy from the web and return it to its own qualities, and the final form of energy is the arcane source energy. From that moment on, the end of the age of magic was announced, and the beginning of the age of the arcane. Taking this as an opportunity, it also led to the chaos of the god system and the attack of many god systems on the arcane system. ”
The lecturer reviewed the situation and continued, "Of course, the main subject of our class is not the history of the arcane, and that iron-blooded history does not need to be mentioned again. Putting aside the deep meaning and extracting it from the arcane perspective is the main point of our arcane fundamentals. ”
Little by little, Gustav began to understand a lot of things.
Regardless of the control of psychic power, the Arcane Source in its normal form can take on a calm purple fluid state, which is consistent with what Gustav saw and heard in the Magic Tower. In the Age of Magic, due to the interference of the magic gods, the arcane source energy was transformed into magical energy that existed in the magic web. Therefore, in the age of magic, if you want to learn magic, you have to become a believer in the god of magic. After that, they will be able to use magic and incredible energy according to certain mental fluctuations and spell hints.
After the destruction of the magic god system, the arcane source energy controlled by the magic net lost its shackles, and this is the arcane source energy that returns to its origins. Unlike magical energy, arcane energy is more pure and stable. However, unlike the magical energy that has been induced by the magic web, the arcane source energy is difficult to be driven by simple mental fluctuations or spells, and must be constructed through complex arcane models to be stimulated to different properties.
The construction and memorization of the Arcane Standard Model takes up a lot of brain domain, which is why after entering the Arcane Age, there was a vocabulary that described the spell bit and mental load ratio. Compared to the magical era, which only required faith in exchange for magic, such a limited use of magic may seem like a step backwards. However, not being limited by the god system, as long as you know the model construction plan, you can use spells indiscriminately, so that the final ceiling of the arcane method far exceeds the original magic net system. Moreover, there is no longer a need for a god on the head, and the Arcanist himself is a separate individual. Such a fragrance of freedom makes people extremely intoxicated.
Based on these premises, and especially due to the subversive nature of the Arcane Sources themselves, the Arcanists were initially known as the 'blasphemous', one of the most hated groups of the gods along with the blasphemous priests.
"Generally speaking, when we first come into contact with arcane, the way we guide them is emotional. The lecturer continued. "'Thunder and lightning are sharp, flames are eager, colder is freezing, and heavier is the power of the earth.'" This is a widely circulated ballad, and almost even ordinary people are familiar with it. However, this method is subject to mood fluctuations and is very passive. Think about it, if an arcanist wants to use eager fire in the process of fighting people, does he have to make himself eager and sloppy? At all times, the arcanist should remain calm and ...... More calm. ”
"So, in order to keep their composure, the Arcanist needs to master a more effective and difficult way, which is the first common way of channeling, which we call inertial channeling. Distinguish this extremely volatile way of channeling from emotional guidance. Once inertial guided forming, it is able to produce a stable and long-lasting separation effect on arcane source energy. ”
Surrounded by the rustle of pen nibs and the displacement of the paper, the Arcanist 'reserves' here clearly have strict self-discipline.
"Specifically, if you want to process your source energy through inertial guidance, you will need to at least spend more time and patience on meditation. The fundamental reason is that this kind of inertial guidance requires the formation of an involuntary way of thinking and memorizing. The purpose of meditation is to expand your spiritual secrets, or to create more 'spell slots' for memorizing spell models. This in itself is something that has nothing to do with the nature of the arcane energy, but if you add exercises to the meditation process, over time, it can have a different degree of promotion for the generation of magical powers. This facilitation is what we call inertial guidance. However, this kind of exercise is very difficult because it involves a very complex thought process. Specifically, it's like adding a non-natural function to the functions outside of your brain. ”
At this time, someone raised their hand.
"Catherine, do you have any questions?" the lecturer asked.
"Lecturer, as far as I know, in addition to emotional guidance and inertial guidance, there are at least three or more guidance methods. This includes instinct to guide the project. This is Redfarr, and I believe that the change of the fire system of the source energy should be given top priority. Judging by the efficiency ratio and the final effect of the guidance method, why not try the instinctive guidance?"
Many of the apprentices looked at the instructor.
The lecturer said strangely: "The advantage of instinctive guidance is the stimulation of blood, but compared with inertial guidance, the limitation of such a form lies in ......."
His words suddenly stopped, and an icy blue hue appeared on Catherine's body, mysterious and intricate lines all over her body, and even her pupils were like frost gems. The cold wind seemed to circle around her, radiating outward layer by layer, and the apprentices around Catherine unconsciously moved away a little.
"Thurman's blood. ”
Catherine's bloodline comes from Thurman, the archdemon of the Abyss, an ice demon who was once famous in the Battle of the Abyss. In the battle of the abyss, he has already obtained the qualification of the demon god, and he chose to stick to his own beliefs because of his personal feelings.
The lecturer's head swelled slightly, and as the influence of the Arcane Second Republic continued to increase, more and more people like Catherine came to communicate with the Republic. Such people, because they are born with blood factors, give them a lot of advantages in the process of learning arcane in the early stage. However, for lecturers and professors, people with bloodlines tend to be a little paranoid and are not good students.
Sighing, the lecturer said helplessly: "Okay, if you have a high-level bloodline like Catherine, naturally, you don't need to practice inertia guidance." ”
