What kind of profession is a magician? Whether it is in the games Edison played in his previous life or in the novels he read, "turret" is often their first definition.

But after coming to this world and really getting in touch with the so-called magic, Edison discovered that the learning of magic is actually not so simple.

As Nikola Tesla, the ancestor of his body and the predecessor of the time-traveler, said:

"For magicians, learning magic is like a process of getting in touch with the reality of the world, it can make us feel the existence and operation of the rules of the world, and our souls will be changed and sublimated in this exploration, with more incredible power and unimaginable lifespan for ordinary people. However, for ordinary people without qualifications, coming into contact with the mystery that they cannot accept is simply a disaster, and it will only cause death to come. ”

The above passage is the preface to every basic magic textbook, although ordinary people are fine to read the preface, but when it comes to the issue of magic, such a book will basically not flow into the hands of ordinary people.

The point of this is that ordinary people who forcibly watch a magic book containing magic runes without magical qualifications will lead to brain death.

Based on the above understanding, Edison quickly understood the relationship between magical qualifications and the mystery of the soul after being exposed to magic.

Magical qualification refers to the efficiency of a person's absorption of magic from the outside world, for example, a person also meditates for 2~3 hours, but the excellent qualification is more than the ordinary qualification to obtain more magic power!

Some of the magic power obtained will become natal magic, but most of it will be used to increase the mystery of the soul.

Soul mysticity is the most essential and difficult aspect for a mage to improve, as it determines the amount and level of magic a mage can remember.

Then, Edison discovered the biggest golden finger after crossing - the soul. Because of the mystery of Edison's soul, it is not an exaggeration for him to be called a "divine soul" by the magicians of this world.

If you want to use a popular metaphor, you can barely understand the soul mystery as the concentration of cell fluid inside the plant, and Edison's extremely high soul mystery can make his soul quickly absorb magic in a very low magic environment, and because of the existence of the physical body, there is no need to worry about being "burned to death" by suddenly entering a high magic environment like a plant.

That is to say, for the average magic apprentice, he can only meditate for 2~3 hours a day, but for Edison, he can meditate all day, and his extremely high soul mystery will automatically attract magic and drive the transformation of the body.

And the so-called meditation method is actually to play a role in accelerating the condensation of magic power, like Edison, although his physical qualifications are not as good as his sister, but in the long run it is actually more terrifying.

The extremely high degree of soul mystery allowed Edison to maintain a state of meditation for a long time as long as he wanted, condensing the magic of his natal power without headaches, fainting and other phenomena. And in daily life, even if Edison did not actively meditate, the magic power would slowly transfer to Edison's forehead according to the law of transfer from low-level mystery to high-level mystery.

You see, the first meditation method was created based on the observation of this phenomenon of transfer from the lower mystic to the higher mystery.

The magician's upgrade route before level 5 is basically to constantly gather magic through meditation, and each time the magic is used to enhance the mystery of your soul. Like Edison, it is equivalent to the first 5 levels of promotion without bottlenecks, it is like opening a cheat.

However, the sixth order began to be called a magician, and it seems to be different, so that's another story, so I won't mention it here for the time being. For this reason, Edison, who understood the particularity of his soul, decided to temporarily give up part of the magic power of meditation, and instead gathered too much magic power into the Jizhong acupoint, and then spread the magic power to all parts of his body through the breath of the Jizhong acupoint and lungs, and at the same time improve his warrior level and forge an artificial magic power escape phenomenon, so that the speed of his magic promotion will be reduced.

Otherwise, it is clear that a guy with ordinary qualifications as a magician can advance faster than someone with excellent qualifications. Edison was sure that he would be approached by a curious magician, who would study and study it. This will not only expose the secret of the "traverser", but even whether it can leave a small life is another story......

After all, magic has been studied in this world for 18,000 years, but there is no such thing as epiphany, growth beyond boundaries, even if the understanding is good, it needs a gradual learning process.

Anyway, Edison wouldn't bet on a magician's character and discipline. Through the study of the history of this world, he already has a clear understanding of the magicians of this world.

The mages of this world are not traditional technophiles, they are survival masters, excellent travelers and brilliant adventurers, who often run around the world and inspire themselves by observing the natural phenomena of heaven and earth.

Only when you think you've accumulated enough inspiration will you stay down and settle down for a while (a magician's period is measured in a hundred years), and then continue to run outside.

Therefore, not only are the magicians here difficult to fool, but some of them are pure research freaks!

There is a magician whose name has been completely erased, and in history, he left a very famous sentence: "For a pure magician, everything in the world is divided into only two kinds, one is what has been studied and understood, and the other is what we are about to study and understand." ”

Although the magician who said this sentence ended up hanging himself because he was found murdered and vivisected several of his own magic apprentices. But there are still many magicians who agree with and quote this phrase.

This had to make Edison more vigilant.

......

In addition, regarding the classification of magic in this world, the original magic was roughly divided into three categories by Nikola Tesla. According to the manifestation of magic, it is divided into: energy, matter, and soul.

But this was only the oldest way to classify magic back then.

In Edison's time, with the development of magic, the study of magic has not stopped, and this rudimentary classification has made it difficult to accurately define the manifestations of spells.

The new magic is mixed with a large number of secret art inheritances of various families, personal magic experience and other personal research results, and often crosses three categories and cannot be accurately classified.

For example, contract magic, which straddles energy and soul, enchantment, which straddles energy and matter, and arm, which straddles energy and matter...... And so on, and so on.

This also leads to the fact that every time the Central Academy of Magic wants to reclassify magic, there will be spells that are not allowed in this system to be released and slapped in the face, resulting in repeated failures in the reclassification of the spell system.

As a result, this primitive and crude method of classifying magic has been used to this day, and has been regarded as a classic and must-read by magic elementary school textbooks on all continents.

Edison also learned about this reality when he went to the Central Continent to visit Arilan. And as a person who has traveled from the 21st century, Edison understood too much the importance of forward-looking information.

For this reason, Edison had to spend a lot of money to subscribe to the annual magazine known as "Frontiers of Magic" and the "Mage Daily" for the whole year.

It was in order to complete the subscription to these magical publications that Edison also signed a non-disclosure agreement for magicians and submitted his own magic samples. (PS: It's equivalent to the existence of fingerprints) made a magic insurance seal to ensure that only you can see these contents.

(A small anecdote from the mainland: Because there was an incident in the past where a certain mage forgot to insure his magic book, and then his wife, who was an ordinary person, accidentally flipped through it and died, so there was such a troublesome rule!) But in fact, in Edison's view, these magazines were just a special knowledge monopoly of magicians.) After all, the "Mage Daily" deliberately used magic patterns to write some magician's lace news or something, this is definitely intentional!)

And because of these valuable books and publications, and the signing of cumbersome magic agreements, Edison's submission of "The Blind Mage" and the opening of a new issue of "Nonsense Fairy Tales" can be regarded as a complete exposure within the family.

So, Edison's poor little treasury was naturally temporarily taken over by his mother Elilan, but Edison also got the right to write books openly at home, without having to hide in the study and lock the door to write secretly, or go to the school library to write, which can be regarded as a gain and loss!

......

In terms of the magician's spell-casting ability, the existence of the apprentice-level can generally only perform level 0 tricks, which is not very powerful, but it is practical.

Specifically, all spells that can be mastered and used by magic apprentices will be classified as level 0 tricks, but no one can say exactly how many level 0 tricks there are, and the level 0 tricks that ordinary magic apprentices can learn for free in school are:

Shimmer: Forms a small ball of light that illuminates a radius of 3 feet (about 1 meter).

Primary Liquid Manipulation: Able to control 1 pound (over 500g) of water within 3 feet. (Note: Water in living organisms cannot be controlled!)

Primary Fire Manipulation: Creates a pinch of small flames between your fingers. (Note: There must be a fire element around)

Primary hypnosis: It can only be done to the extent that a person can fall asleep when they are sleepy and unprepared.

Mage's Hand: Objects of about 12 pounds (5.5kg) can move freely, after which they cannot be moved, but depending on the user, objects that can hold up to 70 pounds ~ 110 pounds (30kg ~ 50kg) will collapse.

Light Body Technique: After blessing, it can reduce the air resistance when moving itself, and form a certain thrust, which is a manifestation of the use of the wind element, so there must be the wind element around.

The above six practical spells are level 0 tricks that all magic apprentices can learn, and then according to the individual's memory and comprehension speed, the existence of apprentice-level can also be about 8~10 level 0 tricks under multiple memorization.

But if you still want to learn these level 0 tricks, you need to earn credits to redeem them. This is actually very beneficial for magic apprentices with a family heritage, because they will have some special level 0 tricks in their inheritance, such as the [Flashing Technique] seen by Edison, the [Primary Mental Power Whipping], [Primary Mental Power Body Enhancement], [Primary Visual Illusion] and other distinctive level 0 tricks of the 3 mages.

You can save a large amount of money to exchange for a level 0 trick in exchange for resources that are more conducive to promotion. For example: requiem incense to relieve meditation fatigue and prolong meditation time.

The most important thing is that these family level 0 tricks will automatically increase their power with the promotion of magicians, and the level 0 tricks will automatically become first-level magic, which can be said to be a good time for magicians to memorize magic.

In addition, in terms of pure magic inheritance, there are also spellcasting schools such as spell flow and berserk flow, and there are special magic for magicians who work in the civilian government!

The unique application and understanding of spells is even more diverse. Not all magical legacies are passed down in families!

Therefore, the matter of cultivating magic is really not as simple as in novels and games in Edison's opinion.

The qualification of a magician has become an existence similar to the spiritual root in the Fantasy Cultivation Immortal, first distinguishing between magicians and ordinary people, and then according to the efficiency of absorbing and converting magic power, it is divided into excellent, good, ordinary, and poor qualifications that cannot actively nourish the soul with magic power.

And the ascension of the mystery of the soul is a bit like the ascension of the personality on the Kabbalah Tree of Life in the mythology of the previous life, which requires the existence of magic.

For this reason, the magician needs to condense and gather energy through constant meditation, so that his body and soul can be constantly transformed. And this can be improved faster with the help of different meditation methods and precious spell materials.

At the same time, the release of magic has long ceased to require constant chanting of spells in the mouth, and there is an era of reporting the name of the spell before casting, and magic spells only need to be recited when building a spell model, and then the spell is cast as long as it is constantly chanted and remembered, and at the same time try to compress the spell time.

This also forces the mages to constantly improve their understanding of spells, speed up the casting of spells, meditate on compressed spells, and increase the affinity of the elements.

And the various spell casting techniques derived from it, such as "super magic" spell casting, "material" spell casting, "staff" spell casting, and "stacking" spell casting, are even more numerous. ......

In a word...... Learning magic is a systematic, complex, and long process, in which the knowledge reserves, talents, and resources of magicians are very high, and you will never encounter the good things that can go straight to the peak in Edison's previous life novels about killing monsters, knocking drugs, and then practicing according to cheats, or having an old grandfather to mention a point.

And more, it completely responds to the old Chinese saying "the master leads the door, and the cultivation depends on the individual......

"Hey, in the end, my main task now is to study hard and exercise every day? Obviously, I have just read books for almost 10 years, and I went in again after I was liberated!?" Edison was speechless. (Fan voice: Come and use the recommendation ticket to smash this cheap and well-behaved guy)

(PS1: This is really a very logical and rigorous novel!It's more than 4,000 words, it's really not easy for me to be a handicapped party, although I can't catch up with the speed of some great writers, but I still have the shame to ask for votes!)

(PS2: The next chapter will take you to a corner of the wizard's world.) ）
