Chapter 13 The New System
The scientific research dog in the previous life was not tired, and as a half-hung doctoral student in liberal arts, he did not have too personal experience; But the study of magic in this world has undoubtedly become an extremely physically demanding task.
During the continuous consumption of physical strength, the special structure inside the magic crystal was repeatedly explored by him; The 'change' is also based on perception being recorded again and again. For example, in the process of 'fire element transformation', he focused on exploring even the slightest trace of characteristics through the similarities and differences of 'changes' between different fire crystal crystals, hoping to better find a means to replace the magic crystals.
"First of all, we have to find a way to replicate the process of change...."
Based on this purpose, he chose to focus on the concept of 'runes', imagining the special structure in the magic crystal as the 'magic runes' in the novels of his previous life, assuming that when the energy passes through a specific 'rune structure', a certain change will occur, and the combination of multiple rune structures can form a complete spell.
Why did you want to add the idea of 'runes' in one more step? The purpose is to facilitate the 'deconstruction' of the complete 'change' within the magic crystal, so that the different parts of the 'change' can exist independently and combine with each other during meditation.
As for whether the 'magic rune' really exists or not, it doesn't really matter, the key is the 'exploration process'.
In the form of constructing 'runes', the process of change is simulated, and through repeated debugging, the 'simulation' is constantly close to the 'natural state' in the magic crystal.
When this simulation process is successful, whether or not the so-called 'runic structure' is within the magic crystal, the 'rune' has already been established as an 'epistemology'.
This is a difficult job, the blade fang is almost multi-purpose, holding the magic crystal in his left hand and casting spells as slowly as possible, while his right hand, although empty, is constantly synchronized with the operation of his left hand. However, the process of changing in the magic crystal was transplanted into the meditation space.
The meditation space, the mist endowed with the dual concept of physical strength + mental power, is in constant motion, leaving traces in the 'empty space', wanting to synchronize the 'trajectory' in the magic crystal.
After countless attempts, Blade Tooth reluctantly found that the possibility of completely reproducing the 'changes' in the magic crystal in the meditation space was close to zero.
"Why is that....."
He tries to analyze the reasons for this difficulty according to the differences between the two.
The biggest difference between the magic crystal and the meditation space is undoubtedly its state of existence.
The magic crystal actually exists in reality, so it is natural that the changes in the magic crystal, no matter how 'mysterious', are based on the rules of the real world, while the 'meditation space' is different, even if it is given the characteristic of 'reality', but this 'reality' still stays in experience, and its influence on reality is based on fantasy, so there is a certain boundary.
When the influence is confined to itself, the 'boundary' is not clear and can be crossed through self-hypnosis and other means, but if the influence spreads to a reality outside of oneself, then its 'boundary' can be revealed.
When this 'boundary' translates to the spellcasting process, the reason for the unsuccessful is obvious....
Bladefang's exploration of the inner structure of the magic crystal is actually based on the vibration of 'perception', and the attempt to reproduce it in the meditation space is also a simulation of the 'vibration', and the rune is only the manifestation of the simulated change.
'The meditation space does not exist in reality, the runic structure is only fiction, there is a wall between the unreal and the real, and it is still unknown what the future will be..... But now, I don't have the power to ignore the boundaries created by this wall. ’
However, as the saying goes, when you close the door, you will naturally leave a window; As the saying goes, everything is in relative motion.
Once the cause is identified, then a solution can be found.
Although Blade Fang's previous life was neither fantasy nor magic, realistic education and various online novels brought him rich imagination and insight.
And these two are the indispensable condiments of the institute.
For example, before, as soon as I made up my mind to 'break away from the magic crystal casting', the concept of 'runes' naturally flowed into my mind, and the research on 'runes' fell into a slight bottleneck, and the research directions that might be used as a breakthrough once again sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.
This is undoubtedly a great convenience brought by the two lives.
Looking at the witch doctors in this world, they are obviously no worse than him in terms of brain power and so on, but because of the lack of imagination, insight, and fantasy and vision of the future, they have to stagnate on the road of magic for countless years.
Based on this inspiring thought, Blade Tooth has just experienced a research setback, but immediately plunges into the new stage of work with full enthusiasm.
Since the boundary between reality and illusion makes it impossible to cast spells with simple meditation runes, wouldn't it be better to add another layer of medium that can affect reality on top of this?
In the new concept, he no longer seeks to restore the working principle of the magic crystal 100%, but instead looks for a breakthrough in 'differentness'.
First of all, the step of reproducing the 'runes' in the meditation space will not change, but the influence of the 'runes' on reality will be carried out through the medium, so that the step of 'shaping the energy of the runes' will be changed from the original idea of 'being completed in the meditation space' to 'being carried out in reality'.
So, in the process of repeated research, Blade Fang first successfully reproduced a set of fire runes in the meditation space through the exploration of 'perceptual vibration'.
This so-called 'Flame Technique' can be called the most rudimentary spell that Blade Fang can find, and its composition is simpler than the low-level Fireball Technique, and the 'Rune' omits 'shaping', and only contains two parts: energy conversion and excitation.
Later, through the influence of the meditative space on himself, he used a method similar to his previous visualization to link 'runes' with 'language and hand movements'.
For example, when reciting syllables such as 'transform' and 'excitation', the effects of 'transformation' and 'excitation' that should have been possessed by the 'rune' will be achieved by means of sound vibrations, and the accompanying finger movements will help the two separate vibration structures form a whole.
This method, based on the fantasy of 'words', 'spells', and 'spell-casting actions' in the novels of the previous life, makes the 'runes' no longer directly affect the 'energy', but indirectly affects the energy through the medium of language and hand movements.
Undoubtedly, the research was successful, he broke the boundary between fantasy and reality, and succeeded in making the spell possible without the assistance of the magic crystal.
Even now, if you can only use something like 'Pyrotechnic', it means that a new system is born.
In this system, the caster can not only intuitively experience the amount of his own 'magic power (physical strength)', avoid the unwarranted loss of lifespan, but also avoid the embarrassment of being attached to the magic crystal.
Most importantly, it makes it possible to study magic without having to be held back by longevity and 'black boxes'.
Blade Tooth is extremely proud of this, and the inaction of his previous life has made the current achievements even sweeter.
