Chapter 173: Magic Scroll Making

The other material is very ordinary, just refined parchment, soaked in a special potion, which can be rolled up or unfolded without rebounding.

Of course, you can also use ordinary parchment, but when you roll it up or unfold it, it's not very convenient, and nothing else.

Even wood, rocks, metals, gems, cloths, liquids, and the like can be used to carry magic, but Xia Duo is not allowed to spread the stall too much for the time being.

The Magic Scroll is a kind of magic item that is relatively easy to get started with, and it is very widely used and not expensive, which is very suitable for Xia Duo.

And the only downside of the magic scrolls is perhaps - the vast majority of magic scrolls are disposable products, and using the scrolls is simply throwing money.

Many times, having money can really do whatever you want, and conversely, the more powerful the person, the easier it is to make money, and Xia Duo has already realized this.

If he really was an ordinary apprentice, would Lady Patty still ask him to be a personal mage advisor for 200 gold?

Do not pursue the previous one

"Pretending to be a mage" is fine. Back at the spell lab, Xia Duo placed ink, parchment, and Mithril pen on the workbench one by one, and made a 1-ring spell scroll for the first time.

This is an indispensable cost for novices, and when they are proficient, they can't be placed in the spell laboratory, after all, compressing costs is also an essential step for novices to mature.

During his apprenticeship, Xia Duo made a 0-ring [Luminous Technique] scroll and made a fortune, but later he felt that he couldn't make it and gave up.

Now that I'm making magic scrolls again, Xia Duo still misses it a little! When he first made the [Illumination] scroll, Xia Duo had not been exposed to arcane geometry, and he did not think deeply about the patterns drawn on parchment.

By now, Chateau understood why those figures looked like and not others, and even knew the extent to which they could be inaccuraced.

It's like asking an ordinary person to draw a regular seventeen-sided shape with a ruler, and some people know that the sides of the figure are equal, and they can draw it, but they can't draw it accurately.

Others even directly deny the possibility of drawing a regular seventeen-sided shape with a ruler, and conclude that it is impossible based on intuition alone.

Previously, Xia Duo was the one who could make a spell scroll by default, but couldn't find the root, and now he knew the meaning of any line on the scroll.

And with the geometry he had learned on Earth, he could even draw these shapes more easily than the Colorless Mage, and he didn't need additional aids.

Because, with a lot of magic, with the help of [magic tricks], Xia Duo already has a set of drawing aids that will not be lost at all.

When studying the transformation of [Vapor Ray], Xia Duo had already thought about the drawing process in its entirety, and now he only needed to follow the steps.

Entering the spellcasting state, the mind moved, and a blue auxiliary line appeared on the unfolding refined parchment, followed by one after another, until the paper was covered with dense blue lines and circles.

Chado had to select specific 42 of these intricate line intersections, connect them with straight lines or arcs, and then remove auxiliary lines.

In the end, what appeared in front of Xia Duo was a complex plane spell structure. At this point, the scroll can't be called a magic scroll, it's just a piece of parchment with strange patterns drawn, and if you are an ordinary person, you can do it with training.

And the rest is something that only the caster can do - give it magic. Or, more generally, link the web to this flat spell structure, without which there is no magic, and there is no magic scroll.

"It must be successful!" Xia Duo held his breath, but when it came to Rao's movements, he was not 100% accurate, all Xia Duo could do was try to increase the success rate.

Whether it is the preparation in advance or the casting process, it is as careful and rigorous as possible. Hum - The magic net in front of him began to converge, entangle, bend, and overlap under Xia Duo's will, following every spell element of [Steam Ray] to form a three-dimensional spell structure.

If you cast the spell normally, it will be activated at this point. To make a scroll, you need to go to the next step, which is to convert the spell structure woven by the magic web into a flat structure, and if you want to make a normal scroll, you need to do an encryption conversion after this step.

However, the first time Xia Duo made a 1-ring scroll, he did not convert it to encryption. In other words, if he succeeds in making this scroll and is taken by someone else, then the secret of [Steam Ray] will not be guaranteed.

This is learning scrolls, which is even easier than making ordinary scrolls, but because of the complete magic element, this kind of scroll is actually something that no one wants to make.

Shado, who does not need to be converted in encryption, directly overlaps the spell structure woven by the magic web and the plane transformation with the graphics on the parchment.

At this point, if there is too much error in the previous drawing process, it will be a direct failure. If it is within tolerance, there is a high probability that it will succeed, and Xia Duo uses a fairly accurate drawing method, so naturally there will not be too much error.

However - there are errors in the cast itself, which is why the actual spell effect fluctuates.

This time, Xia Duo was too wrong to cast the spell, and the extremely accurate scroll graphics became a shortcoming that affected the success, and in the process of linking the magic web for the parchment graphics, the spell went out of control without warning.

It's just that this spell was not activated after all, it only caused the magic net to vibrate, but it was quickly suppressed and stabilized by the spell laboratory.

If it was outside, Xia Duo would inevitably have a headache. And if the spell is activated and out of control, then it may be smashed in your own hands.

As a spell out of control

The "culprit" - the extremely accurately drawn scroll figure, the ink on it was now spent.

What was originally a very regular and delicate spell pattern has become a very abstract figure, I don't know what the hell it is, and even the ink is no longer completely on the surface of the parchment, but has penetrated into all layers.

This piece of parchment is completely unusable. This failure didn't hit Xia Duo, when he first made the [Light Technique] scroll, he was in the apprentice's dormitory, and he didn't have such a smooth Mithril pen, nor did he have a calm and stable magic web environment.

In this way, he finally succeeded in making the [Illumination] scroll. Now he has only failed once, and it is completely in his expectation that Zheng just thinks about the waste of parchment and ink, Xia Duo is still a little distressed.

Refined parchment 1 gold coin a bottle, red graphite 20 gold coin a bottle, a bottle of ink here is not as much as on the earth, just a bottle.

It's about the capacity of two bottles of eye drops, and it takes about half a bottle to draw once, so if the failure rate is too high, don't expect to make money with this craft.
