Chapter 272: The Ability of a Polymath
Based on the knowledge instilled in him by the "Erudito" potion, Abner briefly tested his abilities and had a general idea of his extraordinary abilities in the 6th stage of the pathway sequence:
First of all, after becoming a "polymath", the core "analysis" ability has been substantially improved.
Although there are certain "extraordinary" characteristics, such as "analyzing" the breath of the extraordinary person to obtain information, etc., it is generally more inclined to inference, induction, summarization and other logical abilities that ordinary people also have...... Of course, among ordinary people, unless they are gifted geniuses, they cannot be compared with the "Keeper of Knowledge" in terms of relevant abilities.
However, due to the extremely powerful "Analysis" function attached to the "Pure White Eye", Abner actually rarely used this ability before.
The "analysis" of the "Erudito" stage, with a certain amount of prior knowledge, can analyze the principle of the extraordinary ability used by the opponent, which is also one of the prerequisites for subsequent "learning" and "imitation".
In addition, the improved "Analysis" can help users quickly identify the extraordinary environment in which they are born, and can also see the strengths and weaknesses of the other party.
These two incidental functions are actually often used by Abner when opening the "Pure White Eye". Actions such as probing "spell traps" and analyzing the functions and negative effects of seals are strictly a manifestation of these two abilities.
Not to mention the principle of "parsing" extraordinary abilities, Abner has used the "Pure White Eye" function to extract skills from friends and foes.
In general, the "analysis" ability of the "Erudition" stage is still covered by the "analysis" that comes with the "Pure White Eye", and it has not brought much improvement to his strength.
Secondly, the modification of Abner's heart by the "Erudito" potion brought him a lot of changes.
The transformed heart is known as the "Almighty Heart" in the knowledge of the Potions Inheritance...... It is so called because it is one of the necessary conditions for the "reader" to move from omniscience to omnipotence.
In order for knowledge to be transformed into power, a certain foundation is required.
And the "Almighty Heart" is the basis of the energy in it.
Through the knowledge instilled in the potion, Abner learned that when "simulating" the abilities he has learned, in addition to consuming his own spirituality, he also needs to afford the energy required for the abilities.
That's where the Almighty Heart comes in.
Although the "Erudito" claims to have no limit on the number and number of skills that can be "simulated", it is actually limited by the amount of energy stored in the "Almighty Heart", which is more similar to the "Blue Stripe" mage in the pre-First Age game.
However, it seems that the "simulation" I made with the "Pure White Eye" does not have this limitation...... No, in fact, there are, for example, it is difficult to "simulate" success with abilities that involve one's own physical fitness, such as the "strength" of a werewolf, the "steel skin" of a living corpse, etc......
Thinking of this, Abner immediately mobilized the remaining energy of the potion in the "Almighty Heart" to "simulate" the relevant abilities of the werewolf.
Speaking of which, he has long been "analyzing" these abilities completely on Marić, but he has been "simulating" unsuccessfully.
After two or three seconds, the corners of Abner's mouth twitched, and he said helplessly to himself: "Success is success, but this is too fast...... Even though he has just been promoted, there is not much energy stored in the 'Almighty Heart'......"
However, the success of the "simulation" made Abner think about one thing, and that is that when he uses the "pure white eye" to "simulate", it is not that it does not consume energy, but it just does not consume his own.
It is likely that it is a "simulation" that has been leveraged by external forces!
Therefore, the ability to strengthen my physical fitness cannot be "simulated" successfully, because once even I am leveraged, I am afraid I can't afford the price I need to pay after using my skills......
Maybe a simple burst of strength will keep me lying down for a month or two.
While thinking so, Abner took out the snacks that Mrs. Riscald had prepared in the bedroom and ate them in a few bites, which slightly relieved the sudden and intense hunger.
The energy stored by the Almighty Heart could have been replenished by food...... Hehe, it's okay, at least you don't have to worry about getting fat when you eat supper in the future......
After a few words of self-deprecation, Abner relented and continued to ponder the other abilities of the "polymath".
The third ability of a "polymath" is "learning......
This "learning" ability is not learning in the broad sense of the word, but refers specifically to the "learning space" that the "polymato" uses to analyze and delve into extraordinary abilities and ritual magic.
As long as the "Erudito Scholar" meditates on the form of the "Thousand Magic Phantom Crystal", the spirit can enter a space that seems to be filled with countless stars.
In this space, the "polymath" can "parse" the observed abilities, study the principles, and even try to "simulate" them...... The efficiency is much higher than that of the outside world.
As for the stars, the bright stars are the abilities that have been learned, while the illusory ones are the abilities that have not been completely "analyzed" and cannot be "imitated" for the time being.
Abner speculated that this illusory learning space might be the prototype of the "White Tower", and that the stars would sooner or later turn into "books" on rows of shelves......
Finally, there is also the signature ability of the "Erudito", "simulation", or "imitation", there is nothing to say, Abner used this ability often with the "pure white eye", and it is all too familiar.
In addition to these new abilities, the rest of the abilities such as "Mechanical Mind", "Scene Backtracking", and "Breath Extraction" have also been greatly improved, but there is no essential change.
After getting acquainted with the abilities of the "Erudito", Abner rested for a while and turned on the "Pure White Eye".
"Yes, if I'm spiritually sufficient, the 'Pure White Eye' can last for at least an hour and a half to two hours, which is completely sufficient!
"Plus, I'm really able to 'experience' some of the abilities of the next sequence in advance...... Well, with the 'Pure White Eye' turned on, I was able to modify some of my abilities to a limited extent to make it fit for use......
"But for now, I can only transform the effect of my ability in the direction of decreasing......
"But this is not a bad thing, and the reduction of the effect often means that the conditions of use are reduced...... For example, if the effect of 'Teleportation' of 'Traveler' is reduced to a fixed point-to-point, I can design a corresponding ritual that can be used by low-level extraordinary......
"Of course, there is no ready-made 'template', and if you want to transform such a spell, even with the assistance of 'learning space', I'm afraid it will take a long time."
After a few silent muttering to himself, Abner closed the "Pure White Eye".
After packing up the potion utensils, he removed the Spirit Wall, then opened the bedroom door and headed straight for his dining room.
"It seems that Mrs. Scudder will have to prepare a lot of food for a long time......
"Maybe it won't be long before I have another title of 'foodie detective'......"
Hungry too late to go down the stairs, Abner "glided" directly to the first floor to meet the surprised eyes of Hugh and Furth, who had stayed in the villa last night and were chatting in the hall, and laughed at himself with a wry smile.
