[Original] the source of power in the orcs and human worlds
Orcs believe in shamans and are able to harness the elements. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Humans can use arcane arts, holy light, and so on, and the warrior power is also very strong.
What is the source of such a huge difference in power between the two races?
Blizzard may not have thought about it. I'm trying to reconstruct all of this in my novel.
The orc world is an elementally active world, full of storms, volcanoes, and earthquakes. The harsh natural environment made the orcs pay attention to the spirit world, and at the same time, gradually learned the ability to communicate with the elements, which is the source of shamanism.
Due to the harsh environment, the orcs often roared in the storm, and they learned the war song, through which they cultivated their warrior abilities.
It can be seen that the orc's hometown is very close to the elemental realm.
The human body is made up of elements, and the proportions remain constant. Therefore, the human body cannot absorb magical elements in the same way that it absorbs arcane energy.
Therefore, shamans can only use elemental power to communicate with elemental spirits to borrow, or release them through totems and other forms. They can't store the elements in their bodies like arcane mages do.
The water elemental summoned by the human archmage is not elemental magic, but an elemental creature simulated through arcane energy.
The human world is much happier, the elements are very stable, the mountains and rivers, the wind and rain are smooth.
However, the human world has two stable energies - Arcane and Light.
These two things are not found in the orc world. It also attracted the covetousness of the devil.
As a result, human beings can become mages by cultivating arcane magic, and their bodies absorb arcane energy and cultivate fighting energy. Feel the holy light and cultivate the paladin.
However, the use of soul power and elements by humans is far inferior to that of orcs.
............
To put it simply, orcs live in a world of suffering, through which they learn the power of the soul and communicate with the elements.
Understood from this perspective, it can explain why Draenor collapsed so quickly in a few decades, because the world is inherently unstable.
