"If we look back, we can see that the casting gestures that people have stumbled upon before correspond to the simplest of one-time forming spells—the body only needs to draw mana once to release it. "This leads us to the misunderstanding that www.biquge.info spellcasting gesture is just a gesture with both hands to cast a spell. ”

The mages in the audience nodded, it was indeed so.

"But spells are actually a very complex magic reaction system, take magic scripts as an example, to build a magic circle or make magic equipment, it is impossible to engrave a magic text to achieve the function, but it requires many magic words to be activated at the same time or in turn, coordinate with each other, in order to finally achieve the preset purpose. This leads us to the idea that the casting gesture has never been able to truly become a system for similar reasons?"

The image on the wall changed again, more gestures appeared, and the minds of the attendees in the audience were focused - the number of pictures had exceeded all the spell casting gestures known, could it be that there were other spell casting gestures newly discovered by the Midland Imperial Research Institute?

......

"What you're seeing now is all the support gestures that are theoretically available for the most common attack spell, the Fireball Technique. We obtained them by converting the corresponding magic characters into three-dimensional structures one by one, and then applying them to the ten fingers of a person. ”

"What?"

"How is that possible?"

The audience was in a commotion, as we all know, the casting gesture of the fireball spell had already been discovered, and there was only one movement, and now more than a dozen movements were projected on the wall!

"As you can see, counting from the front to the back, the third gesture is the familiar fireball spell casting gesture. Roy raised his hand and pointed to the picture on the screen and said, "But our tests have proven that this action is only an important step in the entire casting process of the Fireball Spell - the casting gesture of converting magic into light and heat. And the complete fireball spell casting gesture should actually be a coherent combination of these dozen actions, from mobilizing magic power to launching the fireball, each gesture corresponds to a step, according to the casting process...... While casting spells and chanting spells, make this series of gestures one by one at the right time to make the spell work at its best. ”

"How is this possible, man only has two hands!"

"I let the fireball come out in a pinch of it, why do I have to make so many gestures in this short moment?"

"That's exactly what I'm going to talk about. Many of the participants eagerly asked questions, and Roy was quick to respond to their questions: "People only have two hands, and some spells may have to make multiple gestures at the same time to achieve the best effect, and what's more troublesome is that there are usually ten fingers on both hands, although there are many, but not each of them can move arbitrarily due to the limitations of the palms, and the structure of some magic scripts is too complex to be simplified to the extent that they can be made by human hands after being reduced to a three-dimensional structure......"

"So, if you want to really put the spell gesture to use, you need to simplify it drastically. Roy waved his hand, and most of the pictures on the wall were missing, leaving only the last five: "These are the five gestures that have been retained after testing and comparison, which are easy to make and still work obviously, and now, I will demonstrate the great role of gestures in casting spells with a minimum amount of magic!"

......

The girl stood away from the rostrum, raised her arms, and loosened some of her white wrists with the movement. She pursed her lips, her hands quickly pinched, and a series of dazzling movements, a fireball smaller than an egg flashed in the palm of her hand, hovering for a few seconds, until everyone could see it, and then it was melted in place by the dissolution technique, disappearing into the magic of the air.

＊＊＊

The venue fell silent, and anyone in this hall ...... Perhaps with the exception of King Narig as a temporary participant, each of them was able to unleash more powerful fireballs at a faster speed. But the girl on the rostrum showed an incredible operation in the opposite way: with a small amount of magic power, she created a steady fireball.

As a spell creation with an internal structure, the fireball has a certain limit to its size. If it is too large or too small, it will quickly reduce its stability, and after a certain upper and lower limit, the caster will spend a lot of mana to maintain the stability of the fireball, which will outweigh the losses.

It's not difficult to make a fireball the size of an egg, but such a small fireball is quite fragile and is likely to dissipate as a flame with a "poof" as soon as it is disturbed. But the fireball that Roy had just held in his hand was emitting a blue light - this color meant that it did not rely on external forces to maintain its shape, but had extremely high stability itself. Although stability is not a priority for destructive spells, the message that the girl wants to express has already been delivered.

In silence, Roy summed up the importance of the study of spell casting gestures to the wizarding world: "With the addition of gestures, the amount of magic consumed and the mental concentration required to cast spells are significantly reduced, but the success rate of spells and the power of spells are increased. These advantages are difficult to show in skilled or powerful mages, but they can be of great help to beginners. Quickly incorporating them into the inheritance and education system of spells can help apprentices who have a certain talent but have difficulty casting spells for various reasons to quickly master basic spells, thereby greatly expanding the number of low-level mages and increasing the popularity of spells. ”

The atmosphere at the scene was lively, and many mages couldn't help but start discussing with their acquaintances.

There have always been two opposing views in the mage world, one is that the total amount of magic power between heaven and earth is constant, and the more spellcasters, the less magic each person can use, so mage education should be elitist - only the most talented and promising to become powerful mages should be trained and educated. The other school of thought that the idea of the former is as ridiculous as thinking that other people will compete for the air they need to breathe, and that the more mages, the more prosperous, powerful, and excellent the realm will be, the more understood and respected the mages will be, and the easier it will be to exert influence on the human world, rather than being demonized in the eyes of ordinary people.

Fortunately, it has only been a few decades since the end of the human-beast war, and the enormous power that the mage army can exert in the war has witnessed firsthand, and the support for elitist mages can only be a minority and heretical.

......

The organizer and supporter loudly suppressed the commotion in the room: "Alright, please be quiet, there is no doubt that Master O'Sheil's new discoveries have a great impact on the world, and the relevant materials will be guaranteed to everyone after today's conference." Thank you Miss Foster for the thorough explanation and great presentation, but we have more to discuss...... Now, you'll have a short time for questions and answers, and then we'll move on to the next topic!"
