"The first set of experiments, meditation experiments."

Xia Lin didn't move anything, but sat in a chair to maintain a comfortable state, and began to enter a meditative state.

Meditation is the most basic way for a mage to increase their mental power and help them master it.

According to Xia Lin's past memories, his mental power was not active under normal conditions, but after entering a meditative state, his mental power would become active.

Among them, people with strong spiritual power can even release their spiritual power to feel the outside world, and this is a person who is born with the talent of a mage.

A deliberately selected sergeant like Xia Lin has a very outstanding talent for mental power, and basically after two to three months of basic meditation, he can release his mental power outside his body.

However, the spiritual power of this world is different from the spiritual power shown in some literary and artistic works that Xia Lin has seen in his previous life, it is not the naked eye, so it cannot play a role similar to visual radar, it can only feel the ubiquitous magic and other spiritual power in the air.

Only under the influence of runes will it be like it has grown eyes and ears, recording a lot of information about the external environment.

In the world of magic, spiritual power and magic power are closely related, and together they form magical spells, and Xia Lin wants to explore the nature and relationship between the two through the activation of spiritual power in a meditative state.

The moment he entered the meditative state, Xia Lin felt as if there were extra hands on his body, which was the first nature of the spiritual power that Xia Lin discovered:

It's evenly distributed all over the body, and there is no such thing as more in the brain or heart, and less in the hands, feet, and limbs.

Silently recording this first tiny discovery, Xia Lin controlled the spiritual power to extend out of the body, and soon there was a second discovery, that is, the spiritual power can disturb the magic power, but at the same time, the magic power will also hinder the spiritual power from going deeper into the outside world.

With the spiritual power of the Xia Lin First Ring Mage, he could only lean out about ten meters around his body, and his spiritual power could only be refined and contracted, and then when it reached the range of about three hundred meters to four hundred meters, the spiritual power could not advance at all.

Perhaps mental power can be quantified by the distance it extends to the outside world.

Xia Lin realized that among the spells he mastered was a recording technique, which was composed of runes called recording runes by the rune class professor, which could activate a part of the mental power to record the information he wanted to record, and this information could be read through the external mental power contact recording technique.

If he uses this recording technique to perform a recording technique every ten meters on a long enough rope, and then uses the mental power release to read the information, if the concentration of environmental magic power is constant, and at the same time ignores the small amount of consumption generated by the release of mental power, is the distance that the mental power can reach equivalent to the quantification of spiritual power?

Feeling that it seemed feasible to use this principle to make a mental power meter, Xia Lin thought of a magic power meter again.

The principle of the mana meter is actually not difficult, the rune contact will take effect when the mana is consumed, Xia Lin felt that he only needed to find a rune with an easy-to-observe effect, and at the same time eliminate the magic interference from other sources.

In the midst of brainstorming, Xia Lin naturally thought of the light rune in the Dancing Light spell model and a special rune in the One Ring Spell Writing Scroll: the Isolation Rune.

The former will start glowing as soon as it is infused with magic, while the latter is the most difficult hurdle to master the writing scroll.

As the name suggests, the Isolation Rune is designed to isolate the contact between the spell model and the magic of the environment, so as to preserve the spell scroll.

It works by using runes to generate a film of spiritual power on spell scrolls, using the nature of mental power and magic power to interfere with each other to isolate magical power.

When ordinary people whose mental power cannot be released can use the spell scroll, they need to tear a specific position to activate the scroll, just to destroy the rune and activate the spell model.

In this way, if you use a general material to carve light runes and isolation runes on a long wooden board, as long as the user touches the rune line of the light rune and injects magic power, can you roughly measure the tester's magic power based on the number of light runes lit up?

The reason why materials with general magic guidance are used is because Xia Lin is afraid that the light runes consume too little magic power, so that a small stream of magic power may stimulate more than a dozen light runes, although the sensitivity is high, but the range will be reduced a lot, and the scope of application can only be limited to accurately measuring the power of small magic runes.

After all, even when Xia Lin first generated his own magic power, his magic power was enough to light up dozens of light runes.

Having some clue about how to make a psychic power meter and a magic power meter, Xia Lin continued to explore the nature of mental power and magic power in a meditative state.

Soon he discovered that one of the properties of spiritual power was that it could be stored in a magic crystal.

Thinking of the crystal ball during the mage's talent test, Xia Lin suspected that it was the instrument made by the mage of this world using this property.

I just don't know if magic crystals can store spiritual power, ordinary crystals can store spiritual power, and other magic stones can store spiritual power.

Moreover, after storing the spiritual power in the magic crystal, Xia Lin found that his spiritual power could vaguely perceive the spiritual power stored in the crystal ball, which made him guess whether the two separated spiritual powers of the same person would have this mysterious perception in contact.

Let Harper try it again, and sure enough, he also felt this mysterious connection, which will weaken with the increase of distance, Xia Lin temporarily made a conclusion that there is a connection with the same source spiritual power, and the strength of this connection is inversely proportional to the distance.

After this experiment, Xia Lin probably sorted out several properties of spiritual power:

One: Mental power and magic power affect each other.

2: Spiritual power is evenly distributed throughout the body, and under certain conditions, it can be released into the surrounding environment, and the initial conjecture of the distance is directly proportional to the total amount of spiritual power, and inversely proportional to the concentration of environmental magic.

Three: Spiritual power can be stored in magic crystals, and it is currently impossible to determine whether ordinary crystals or other magic stones can store spiritual power.

Four: There is some kind of mysterious connection between the spiritual forces of the same origin, and the strength of the connection is inversely proportional to the distance.

Plus a conclusion from his summary when he cast the spell:

Five: Psychic power can control and direct spells through some kind of effect.

Xia Lin's first stage of research into the nature of mental power came to an end. As for more in-depth research, it will have to wait for a breakthrough in his quantitative experiments before it can be carried out.

The next step is to study the nature of magic.

For magic, Xia Lin's intuitive feeling is everywhere, endlessly, and the mage's casting relies on a small amount of autologous magic to drive the environmental magic to carry out, but even the high-ring mage seems to have never been troubled by the lack of environmental magic, which makes Xia Lin feel very magical.

However, the exploration of the nature of magic power is not as convenient as spiritual power, and after a period of research, Xia Lin found that magic power does not have much gain except for the fact that magic power will interfere with each other and can produce various wonderful phenomena under the effect of runes.
