Why not just use pathfinding spells? It's not that he doesn't know, it's that those spells are very difficult to cast, and he can't learn them for a while.

So Sean plans to master some simple spells before trying the harder parts.

"Apprentice Spell - Toxicity Detection"

Sean chanted a spell quickly, pointing to a bush.

This bush bears many large, brightly colored fruits, and it looks very attractive.

The spell model took shape in Sean's brain, and the mana worked regularly.

The surrounding aether is mobilized by psychic power, and Sean's own mana is infused into the spell model.

An undetectable light swept over the fruit, and faintly, Sean sensed what effect the fruit would have on him.

The spells in the Poison Detection series are actually also part of the prophecy system, and they are also very simple among all the prophecy spells, at least much simpler than the "guidance technique" commonly used when you get lost.

"Sure enough, it's highly poisonous."

Sean sighed as a result of the spell feedback, he hadn't eaten a mouthful of food since morning, and he had been through so much in the meantime, and now he was visibly hungry.

But yes, he didn't see anything obvious to eat along the way, and he believed that even if there was such a plant nearby, it would have been eaten by various animals or monsters.

Now there are so many delicious-looking fruits that suddenly appear here, and it looks suspicious at first glance.

After casting the spell, Sean felt his mana drop slightly, and although this serious spell was far more effective than the simple use of the ether, it also consumed a lot of mana.

In the world of Ferron, people usually use the unit of "volt" to measure the amount of ether.

This criterion also applies to xenoether, such as the mana of a mage, the power of blood and blood of a warrior, and so on.

It is stipulated that a Level 1 Apprentice Mage, with all distractions and his own proficiency in spells, can inject a maximum of 1 volt of mana when using the "Apprentice Spell - Standard Mana Missile" without a supermagic skill.

And a level 1 mage, that is, a person like Sean, has a maximum of 10 volts of mana that the soul can hold, and if it is used up, it can only be slowly recovered, or the process can be accelerated through meditation.

The "Perfect Cultivation Method" used by the Warrior and the "Perfect Meditation Method" used by the Spellcaster were both researched by the great Legendary-level Professionals.

Legendary professionals are transcendent and have eternal lives, and the way to become a legend is not something that Sean can know. He had only heard in books that no one had reached the realm of legends for hundreds of millions of years.

The "Perfect Cultivation Method" and the "Perfect Meditation Method" were researched and popularized by the legends from the rule level, and they have the highest efficiency under the current world rules.

If you use the "Perfect Meditation Method", you can regenerate your mana ten times faster, which means that you can recover from 0 to full value in 5000 seconds.

If you don't use the meditation method, then it will take 50,000 seconds to slowly recover, which is the same for any level, that is, 1/50,000th of the total mana recovered per second.

The superficial use of mana so many times before made Sean consume 1 volt of mana, and now just releasing a spell with no combat power actually requires 0.5 volts.

This is still a pure prophecy spell that costs a relatively small amount, and if you change to something else......

Sean took a deep breath and tried another, simpler offensive spell.

He picked up a pebble from the ground, held it in the palm of his hand, and recited the incantation aloud.

"Apprentice Spell - Catapult"

As Sean tossed the stone, the spell model slowly moved, and the mana and the surrounding aether that was pulled over converged on the stone, and was converted into strong kinetic energy to give the stone.

Using his mental power to lock on to a direction, Sean focused and shot the stone bullets suspended in the air.

I only heard a "snort", and the air seemed to be suddenly disturbed, and a huge wave of air rolled up.

The pebble flew forward in an instant, so fast that Sean couldn't even see the trajectory.

"Bang!"

A large rock in the path was directly carved out of a small crater, and small stone chips flew everywhere, and the stone that was ejected by Sean had already shattered.

No, no......

Sean frowned, in the process of casting the spell, he found that a lot of mana was wasted.

Normal catapults are silent, with the sudden increase in kinetic energy only applied to the projectile, and even some variants of catapults will reduce the resistance and sound caused by rubbing the air in some way.

Although Sean's catapult seemed to be powerful, and the surrounding air waves were rolling, it was a sign that the mana was wasted and the kinetic energy was not completely applied to the stone.

And before Sean shot the stone, he aimed at a big tree in front of him, but because it was the first time he used this kind of spell, he didn't master the skill of locking mental power enough, so he hit the rock next to the tree.

Sean bent down and spent a few minutes carefully selecting a few relatively hard stones, the hardness just now was so low that it shattered after the impact, and if it was replaced by a metal ball, then at least it would leave a large hole.

According to Sean's judgment, among the weapons called firearms made by the people of the earth, some of the more powerful pistols can be comparable to the power of apprentice-level catapultism, and there is no need to build a spell model or chant spells, as long as you hold it in your hand, it is really incredible.

……

Catapult is a spell of the spell system.

The ejection technique just now consumed Sean's mana, which was indeed much larger than the toxicity test.

The spellcasters of the Feron Continent roughly divide the spells into seven categories, namely Plasticity, Spells, Alchemy, Prophecy, Change, Summoning, and Special.

Sometimes a spell doesn't belong to just one spell, and the caster usually refers to this spell as a hybrid spell, such as the Wish spell, which is known as the most difficult spell, which is a mixture of seven spells.

In general, hybrid spells are more difficult than single-line spells, while offensive spells cost more than secondary spells.

Carrying a few stones with him, Sean swept away the branches in front of him with a stick and continued on his way.

He wasn't going to continue casting spells.

Mana recovery is not fast, and in order to prevent accidents, it is a good habit to keep a certain amount of mana at all times.

Stepping on the rattling leaves, Sean recalled the main points of the various spells, which at first seemed obscure to be very vivid.

Glancing up at the top, the light streaming through the dappled shadows of the trees, Sean smiled and muttered to himself.

"A new life is coming."
