120. Do you make a rod?
Speaking of which, the wand is not original to Yerevan, but was turned out of a corner by the wizards who first explored the different planes, because it is not as easy to carry as a wand and will affect the user's magical affinity, so for a long time, this new magic weapon has not been cared for. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
It wasn't until the rise of mages, who were many times more powerful than wizards, and how many times slower than wizards were able to cast spells, that the staff gradually became the darling of mages - the staff could be engraved with a one-time consuming spell that was close to instantaneous, making up for the lack of mage's casting speed, and mages did not have to think about the affinity of magic like Thoth, and more importantly, the staff could be designated to enhance the power of a spell.
This type of weapon is perfect for mages who study a certain type of spell and do not pursue all-round development like wizards, especially after nearly a thousand years of transformation, changing the burning position of consumable spells from the wand to the replaceable inner core, which has turned it from the original mobile spell memory into a multi-functional mana amplification device.
If Thoth summed it up, it's like going from a crossbow firing a javelin to a flintlock pistol with a bayonet, and it seems to be no different from a gunpowder weapon from another world, except that it is a little more powerful and more troublesome to replace the inner core.
For example, after consuming a spell that was burned in advance, a staff without replacing the inner core is a waste stick, and even the effect of increasing the power of a specific spell disappears, which is similar to a gun that runs out of bullets, and since the burned spell does not have a non-damage circle, and the use of a spell with a wide range of damage at close range will also affect itself, so it is not unreasonable for Stana to say that the staff is a stick scroll.
Of course, mages can also add blades at both ends of the staff like the starfall in Toth's hand to make a magic knife, but that's not a very common thing, after all, for guys who can break through the mage's defense net, the effect of the magic knife is very limited, after all, you can't rely on simple calculations to fight against the results of more than ten years of research and training, the magic knife is a little useful when the mage fights against other legal professions, of course, the magic knife that sacrifices the magic guide has many advantages against other legal professions, it is unknown。
In most cases, it's still like Thoth who hurts himself before he hurts anyone, and if you want to smash someone with this thing, a scepter extended from a giant weapon is more suitable, with enough weight, hard texture, and a continuous magic effect, the so-called melee mage comes standard with a weighted scepter and a light armor.
As for whether the armor will interfere with their spellcasting actions and cause the spell to fail, to be honest, Toth has really never seen a few melee mages use large magic, and they are more like samurai with some magical talent than mages.
"It turns out that the staff is something like this, and it looks pretty simple. Toth said while combing through the knowledge system left by Anna, he didn't expect the staff to be a foreign product, but what puzzled Toth was that these things left by Anna didn't look like they could stuff four auxiliary brains.
"What do you think?" said Stana angrily, completely oblivious to the purpose of his visit. "The staff itself is not very difficult, the core process is the core problem, the cost of the staff is all on the staff core, and it is something you can't buy even if you have money. ”
"Monopolized again?" "Toth looked back and forth at Starfall, and sure enough, he found a small maple leaf mark at the bottom of the staff, "Sometimes I really want to pull out all these magic families, a high-level mage standard staff dares to ask for 60,000 gold talo, hmph, it's really a good way to make a fortune." ”
"Didn't they announce the manufacturing method," Stana sneered, "although they also controlled the raw materials for the manufacturing." ”
It costs more than twice the price of the finished product, not including the consumables that fail.
"If you want to study wand making on your own, it is recommended that you start with a wand, after all, there are many similarities between the two, and there are not so many restrictions on the raw materials. "Stana is not much better than Toth in weapon research, but at least he knows the materials of each weapon, and Yerevan has a special weapon shop, so few people spend a lot of money on this thing," the outer shell of the staff is not difficult to solve, as for the core of the staff, find them to customize." ”
"What's the material for the rod core?" Thoth searched around, but couldn't find any record of the rod core in Anna's memory, only remembering that she had mentioned to herself that Starfall's rod core was infused with her blood.
"The material doesn't matter," Stana thought for a moment and said, "The key is the state, the staff shell is easy to wear, especially for some staff with melee functions, so they will put the inscription on the staff core, but also consider the convenience of replacement, the staff core will generally use a gelatinous solid with fluidity." ”
"Blood glue like Anna, which is mainly based on her own blood, is the most common cane core, which is replenished with blood one at a time. ”
"In that case, why not use a wand, it won't add so much cost for a little magic blessing," Toth was even more confused, "For example, carving a finger of death into a wand can be infinitely activated, and there is not much loss." ”
Stana looked at Stana with the eyes of a fool, "If you can get your hands on the bones of the primeval black dragon Sario, you may be able to make a wand that can withstand the Death Finger Spell Model." ”
The primeval black dragon Sario, the oldest and most powerful dragon, even killed it when it was forcibly taken away by the god of death, that is to say, the god-level material has the strength to withstand the core power of high-level spells, Stana continued: "What is engraved on the wand is generally no more than the four-ring witchcraft, and any more, the wand will be broken. ”
At this time, Toth suddenly remembered a certain wand that he had sold for five thousand gold talos, and he remembered that the half-dragon warlock's death finger seemed to be engraved on the wand, and the logo of the store where he sold the wand seemed to be a red maple leaf, Toth's face was gloomy, and his disgust for that family deepened.
"A cursed wand, acquired at half price is already based on your mage status. "Thoth still clearly remembers the words of that fellow, the identity of the mage?Thoth restored the staff to its original form, and his heart was cold, it seems that he will not be able to deal with them in the future.
Don't blame me for the pit then.
Stana saw Thoth's thoughts, and said with added vinegar: "If the wand core uses the spell template they provide, you need to pay an additional fee, and if you research a new spell template by yourself, you need to give the template to them, and they will customize the new staff core, and then they will record this template and sell it, ha, it's really a business." ”
"There's no such thing as a business that doesn't cost money," said Toth calmly, "and they're going to have to pay for it soon, and I just hope they can afford it." ”
"I hope so. Stana yawned, and was tossed by Toth like this, and forgot to tell him that Celia had left and went back to his room.
Toth closed the magic book, taking advantage of this time to make a staff The idea is shattered, fortunately, Anna's Starfall Staff can still be used, this staff increases the magic burn, that is to say, when you use this spell, you can get the maximum amplification, and you don't have to worry about exceeding your own limit, after all, if you exceed, it is a powerful weakening technique, but it can only be released on yourself.
As for the accompanying spells, they are nothing more than three portals, two spell dispels, and a space warp, a space-time warp?
Since it is impossible to make a staff at sea, what is the use of Anna leaving this information, Thoth, who has lost some of his memory, is puzzled.
"By the way, wait until I connect to the magic net to remind me to ask the Brut family......" Thoth seemed to notice something, and left a delayed instruction in the magic book, reminding himself not to forget this matter when the time comes.
"Ask what?" a guy responded.
"Do you make rods?"
