Tang Mo was basking in the morning sun, enjoying the fresh juice that the maid Cecil had just made, and he was still flipping through a big magic book in his hand. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The Cleveland family's manor is more than ten miles outside of Barissan, because the family has a small population, and no one usually comes, just as a place to rest on vacation. But Tang Mo still likes it very much, the green mountains and green waters are good, and there are dozens of servants waiting. He looked at the servants standing beside him, as well as Cecil, the personal maid sitting beside him, and decided to live here in the future.

Tang Mo didn't stay in the mage tower for long, after all, there was no living person in the huge space of that place, and it was far less comfortable than in the manor. He narrowed his eyes comfortably, pondering the question of magic.

The so-called spell casting, that is a kind of ability. Calvin believed that this is an ability that everyone should have, but there is a difference between strength and weakness, and learning to cast spells is a process of retrieving the abilities that humans originally have.

Depending on the strength of their abilities and the efficiency with which they can regain them, humans should use different means, using spells, rituals, or other secret arts, with the help of nature, elves, gods, demons, or other existential forces to achieve their goals. Whether magic, magic, witchcraft, or other abilities, they all represent the same meaning, a mystical power.

To communicate this mysterious power, the most important thing is perception. Perception shows the character's willpower, common sense judgment, perception and intuition, especially in the perception and understanding of the things around him.

Powerful sentience is able to sense the elements and positive and negative energies in the environment, trying to reach and harness them, arranging them according to a fixed model of spells. Of course, you need to learn this spell in advance, and build the corresponding spell model in the spirit world, fill it with this energy, and then prepare a magic. The last thing to do is to release it.

It sounds simple, but it's not easy to navigate them, and mages often need to use words, gestures, and spellcasting materials to help with the process, and some powerful spells have to be completed with the help of magic circles or even multi-person cooperation.

Different spells, especially spells of different levels, require different amounts of elemental or positive and negative energy. This means that as the number and level of spells increases, the mage needs to be able to control more energy, and this ability to control more elemental or positive and negative energy is called magic, which is also called spiritual power or mana in different systems.

This brings us to the most important quality for a mage, intelligence. This is the most important attribute for a mage, determining the number of spells a character can cast, the difficulty of resisting their spells, and the power of the spells. Intelligence determines a character's ability to learn and reason, which is important for any character who wants to have multiple skills.

In Calvin's day, the arcane mage and the ring mage were the two most common schools. For arcane mages, the most important use of perception is to directly feel the elements and positive and negative energies. Correspondingly, what the ring mage needs to feel is the magic web, the network provided by the goddess of magic, as long as the mage can connect to it, he can easily continue the follow-up process.

For example, building a spell model on it in advance instead of laboriously building it in your own mental world not only saves effort, but also requires only one energy-filled command and a little activation time when using it, which greatly increases the casting speed.

Therefore, the entry of the ring mage is much easier than that of his fellow secret mage, especially at the low level, the casting speed determines that the ring mage's combat power far exceeds that of the secret mage.

It is worth mentioning that this process of building a spell model on top of the magic web is called "memory". Each spell cast by the Ring Mages requires a memory, and when the spell is cast, they temporarily lose the spell until they re-remember it the next day.

Therefore, the act of memorizing spells in advance not only increases the casting speed, but also limits the types of spells, and in the case of not being able to predict in advance what spells will be used that day, many spells prepared in advance by ring mages are often commonly used, which is easy to be targeted.

In this situation, some ring mages go to extreme speeds to prepare powerful attack spells in addition to the necessary protective spells, intending to take out their opponents in one fell swoop with their quick spell casting and powerful firepower. These mages have been dubbed "Turrets", and it's hard to tell whether there's more of a compliment or a mockery in it. Of course, if the word comes out of the mouth of a warlock, it must be praise, there is no doubt about it, for they are also usually praised as "turrets".

Intelligence is the most important attribute of a mage, whether it is an arcane mage or a ring mage. Of course, there are some differences between the two, and intelligence determines the magic power of the arcane mage, which is closely related to the number of spells cast. At the same time, because the arcane mage does not have to wait for the next day to re-memorize the spell, they can quickly regain their combat effectiveness, and the higher the intelligence, the faster the recovery.

For ring mages, intelligence determines the maximum number of spells they can memorize in a day, which is especially valuable for mages who are always short of spell slots.

When it comes to spellcasting, we have to mention magic spells. This ability is based on the power of the gods, the size of the ability and the speed of increase, and most importantly, the devotion of the caster and the generosity with which he serves the gods. If mages are compared to yeoman farmers, the magicians are more like long-term laborers who work for the landlord all year round, with the former working hard to determine their harvest, while the latter have to work hard to please their boss.

Finally, there is a group of people whose abilities are lacking, and their biggest flaw is that their perception is too low to directly feel the elements or magic nets, which makes it extremely difficult for them to get started with spell casting.

But fortunately, someone finally solved this problem, isn't the difference between humans and animals using tools? This person thinks so, so he can do things that he can't do directly, so he can use tools.

This man later became the first wizard, and the solution was simple - use a wand. A special wand, of course, each wizard must have his own wand, and through the wand as an intermediary, they successfully achieved the purpose of casting spells. But conversely, once the wand is lost, even if the wand is knocked down in battle, it will cause a temporary loss of spellcasting ability.

The peaceful times on the manor passed quickly, three years passed in a flash. Tang Mo's daily life is to constantly meditate, read magic books, practice spell casting, study the principles of spells, and build spell models. In addition to that, he reads all the books he can get his hands on, and a knowledgeable mage is a good mage, especially since he must master a wider variety of languages.

For example, in the natural form of magic, chanting in Elven language has an additional bonus effect, and the chanting effect of the continental lingua franca and the language of humans and dwarves is very average, and if you use the abyssal language to chant, it will be additionally weakened.

Mages need to use different languages depending on the situation to prevent spells from being targeted by the enemy. Especially for the ring mage, the spell slot itself is limited, and this situation should be avoided as much as possible.

As you can imagine, when a mage sings in the standard pronunciation of the Abyssal language, the opponent doesn't even need to know what it is, and will instinctively be wary of curses or instant death spells, and then rush to cast a spell on themselves to protect against evil/negative energy. But unfortunately, he guessed wrong, the mage just came with a big fireball, and the protection that had just been blessed had no effect!

Not only when casting spells in battle, but also in the accumulation of learning in peacetime, more language knowledge is also an indispensable basic subject. Almost every intelligent race has its own unique language, and their books are written in their own language, and they cannot learn this knowledge without knowing the language. Not to mention the tens of thousands of years of recorded history on the mainland, those races and languages that have disappeared, perhaps a word in one of the books has a great effect on the mage.

The pool on the first floor of the Mage Tower produces a small amount of that special spring water every month. Tang Mo clearly felt that the spring water was constantly improving his physique, improving his perception and intelligence, and after drinking for a long time, the water level of the spring water continued to drop, and it had almost exposed the bottom of the pool recently.

Obviously, when many mage apprentices used this pool, they must have mixed it with a lot of other substances, such as ordinary clean water, otherwise it would not be able to support the long-term use of dozens or hundreds of people. Of course, the effect of using it in this way can also be imagined, and Tang Mo's eating alone is completely the effect of heaven and earth.

There was a little situation, Tang Mo felt very strange, the original owner of the body had also drunk this spring water, but it only seemed to improve the physique, and the effect in other aspects did not seem to be so significant. However, perception and intelligence are more of the meaning of the soul level, Tang Mo explained that this is his soul is more excellent, and the traverser should be different, right?

With Tang Mo's qualifications, he should have entered the ranks of formal mages faster, but one of Calvin's books to his apprentices mentions such a problem.

Mages need to sense the energy or web of the outside world, and they need to constantly strengthen this ability in order to control more energy, or to reach deeper nets, so that they can level up more quickly.

But this alone is not enough, the perception of energy or the magic net is a spiritual ability, and simply increasing the number of this ability quickly will make it complicated. This is easy to understand, people's minds are like a lively train station, there are trains entering and leaving the station in a mess without stopping all the time, which has no effect on ordinary people, but for spellcasting, how to control them more effectively is a very important problem.

This requires the spiritual power of the pure mage, that is, to remove those unnecessary factors from the perception and not be affected by them, so as to control those useful factors more effectively. For example, when casting a fireball, the mage will still sense other elements, the wind element will be somewhat helpful and should be included in the management, and the earth and water elements must be isolated from the spirit so as not to be disturbed.

If you can do this, you can actually improve the mage's ability to focus on the initiative, and when it comes to casting, both the power of the spell and the speed of the spell can be effectively increased, and the mobile cast will also be affected by this ability.

This type of focus is different from the passive focus determined by the constitution, because you can be attacked and injured during casting, and the higher the constitution, the stronger the resistance to blows, so that the cast will not be easily interrupted.

Therefore, if you blindly improve your level and don't pay attention to purifying your spiritual power, it will be very troublesome to wait until you reach the advanced level. There are many mages who don't understand or care about this situation when they are at the lower level, and often have to go back and spend more time solving this problem, but the result is half the effort, or it is in vain.

As a traverser, especially Calvin's spell guide also specifically mentioned this problem, Tang Mo certainly wouldn't make this kind of mistake. Although he was not very satisfied with his promotion speed, he still patiently polished his mental strength step by step. However, three years later, he finally stood on the threshold of a full-fledged mage, and he had been looking forward to this day for a long time.
