Chapter 34.5: Magical Knowledge
As mentioned in the previous chapter, the protagonist Edison's spellcasting speed slows down due to the drag of his thought circuits.
In the beginning, this world was indeed an era when you needed to recite spells for most of the day every time you cast a spell before you could cast a spell.
That method of spell casting is called ancient magic, also known as lever casting, that is, using one's own magic power as a bargaining chip, spells and spell casting materials as levers, and prying the equivalent magic elements from the outside world to cast magic. (Soul mysticism here represents the amount and mass of mana that can be put in.) )
Compared to modern magic, the disadvantages of ancient magic are obvious, the more advanced the magic spell is, the more cumbersome it is, and the casting speed will be slower, so in order to shorten the casting time, more resources will be consumed to lengthen this lever.
Of course, there are also convenient ways to cast spells in ancient times, such as if the price is enough, you can do leapfrogging or even leapfrogging spellcasting.
However, this was really unbearable for the human race that was still under the rule of the alien race, hiding in Tibet every day, and being poor and white, and for a period of time, in order to cultivate spellcasters who could fight against the alien race, it even reached the point of relying on the old, weak, sick and disabled of the blood sacrifice clan to cast spells.
It was at this time that "Nikola Tesla" invented a more modern way of casting spells, if you really want to say this way, it can be called projection casting, that is: engrave the magic that you can bear and understand into the soul, and then use the mystery of your own soul as a guide, and when you need it, use the magic engraving in the soul as a template, directly through the projection, affect the arrangement of magic elements in reality, and form magic.
Although this leads to the fact that the level of magic that can be used by magicians of each level is fixed, and it cannot be used directly after obtaining magic spells, it is necessary to memorize and understand the magic thoroughly before it can be engraved into the soul to cast the shortcomings.
But once the inscription is successful, it greatly improves the casting speed of magic, even if it is difficult magic, as long as it is engraved in the soul, when the magic power is sufficient, it can basically be released within 10 seconds, and even some magic can be improved with their own level and proficiency, constantly shortening the casting time, so that the mind is moving.
For an alien magician who takes at least 30 seconds to chant a spell in ancient times, and a legendary magician can instantly send out some low-level magic, it is simply an absolute crushing of a hot (oo) weapon against a cold weapon! Legendary magic can be sent out in 10 seconds at most! Are you afraid?
Unfortunately, Nikola Tesla was the only one who reached the point of legend with this method of spell casting. Otherwise, the destruction of the alien empire will only be faster!
Of course, there are also disadvantages of this method of casting, such as the failure of accidental inscription is easy to reduce lifespan, etc., but in fact, in the release of ancient magic, because the magic is interrupted, the lever is out of balance, and there are more examples of magic elements entering the body and backlashing, so this flaw is nothing......
......
Let's put it this way, if the soul has memory, ordinary people's memory is full, and only when they are injured can they withstand the injection of magic power, and the memory of the demon warrior is free, but the free memory is fixed, and it can't be copied or pasted (communication elements), and it's in a read-only state.
The mage will make his memory more as the level increases, and the spell meditation compression reduces the memory footprint of each spell, so that the free memory can record more magic, and the improvement of elemental affinity is like finding a network disk and an external server, allowing you to use magic faster.
Here I have to say that 'Nikola Tesla' is a genius, he died in 1943, and the world's first computer was born in 1946, but Nikola Tesla was stunned in the other world with a different knowledge system, dragging the magician's way of casting spells into the computer age. It should be said that the current way of casting spells is more akin to an electronic dictionary.
And the reason for Edison's slow casting speed is not that the element affinity is not enough, but that the memory input methods are all in English, but helplessly Edison's subconscious language expression form has been finalized, and it is inconvenient for him to use! Edison, who has an additional logic circuit, can only increase the casting speed to the level of ordinary magicians at most, as for what skills such as double casting and high-speed casting to comprehend, wait for him to change all the memory input to Chinese and try it.
Fortunately, this phenomenon is starting to weaken as more and more time is spent in the other world, but sometimes, Edison, who formed a mindset, didn't realize it himself.
(Author's note: Ahem...... That's it for this chapter.,The metaphor of memory and electronic dictionaries actually still feels a little inappropriate.,But that's basically what it means.,It's good for everyone to understand...... Just understand. So it's almost 5000 words today, and the editor just notified me that I will recommend it next week, I don't know which one specifically, but it's worth writing here to celebrate!)
