Chapter 31: Magical Talent
To become a magician, you must have a talent for magic.
Magical talent not only requires that mental power is naturally higher than that of ordinary people, but also requires good elemental affinity, and magic resistance must also meet the requirements.
It is a prerequisite for mental power to exceed ordinary people, otherwise when meditating, you will have a splitting headache, not only can not increase your mental power, but also cause damage to your soul, become weaker and weaker, and in serious cases, you will go crazy or even die.
If the mental power is not up to standard, you can only take some precious magic potions to increase your mental power to an appropriate level.
The price of the elixir that increases mental power is extremely high, especially for ordinary people, and it costs at least a few thousand gold coins. Even if you use potions, you can barely promote a qualified apprentice, and you will basically not achieve much in magic.
Only the wealthy nobles, who like magic from the bottom of their hearts, can buy this potion and reluctantly become a magic apprentice.
For small and medium-sized nobles, instead of spending a lot of money to become a weak magic apprentice, it is better to spend the same gold coins to buy some powerful enchanted weapons and follow the path of warriors.
The advancement of a warrior is a bit easier than that of a mage.
Almost everyone has the talent to practice breathing. As long as the body is not crippled, you can go on the path of a warrior.
Even people with poor physical talent can advance to the profession if they have practiced the breathing method persistently for decades.
The combat power of a seventh-order warrior is better than that of the vast majority of four-ring magicians. Cultivating a seventh-order warrior consumes less resources than cultivating a four-ring mage.
After the spiritual power reaches the standard, the next step is to have a good elemental intimacy.
Elemental intimacy is related to the effect of meditation, even if the mental power is up to standard, the elemental intimacy is insufficient, and the effect of meditation is particularly bad.
Richard meditated for more than a month before he succeeded in meditating for the first time, and had just become a junior magic apprentice. His elemental intimacy is slightly insufficient, barely reaching a medium level.
In addition, magic resistance is also a very crucial talent, which is related to the mage's ability to carry elemental damage.
People with low magic resistance are more difficult to release magic, and such people are not suitable for the path of magicians.
After successfully entering the meditation, another prompt came from the properties panel.
Richard Haaland
Power: 10.7
Dexterity: 2.9
Stamina: 4.2
Mental Power: 10.3
Lion Legion's Breathing Method: Tier 5 (521/20000)
Grant Kingdom Basic Swordsmanship: Fourth Order (Extreme)
Archery: 4th Order (789/10000)
Riding: 4th Order (Extreme)
Northern Legion Combat: Tier 4 (230/1000)
Highland Meditation: First Order (6/1000)
Experience: 2900
Once again, Richard's attributes have changed. Mental power has been increased by 1 point, strength, agility, and stamina have not changed, and a new skill of Highland Meditation has been added.
Finding that there was still experience left, Richard immediately added 1,000 experience points to the Highland Meditation Method, upgrading this skill to the second level.
The meditation method was raised to the second order, and Richard was suddenly in a trance. Immediately afterwards I felt a lot of tiredness. Soon he fell asleep, but fortunately it was night, otherwise he would have alarmed the guards and caused some gossip in the army.
Early the next morning, Richard's spirits had recovered. He opened the properties panel. Mental power was found to have increased by 1 point and experience decreased by 1000.
Although he hadn't burned a spell in his mind yet, Richard was already an intermediate magic apprentice based on the level of meditation methods.
Normally, if you want to become a magic apprentice, you must have an innate mental power of about 4 points.
The mental power of a medium magic apprentice is generally 6 points, and even if it is an advanced first-ring magician, the spiritual power is only about 9 points.
Richard's mental power is more than twice that of a normal magic apprentice, and even more than a ring of magicians.
11.3 spiritual power, equivalent to the level of an ordinary second-ring magician.
The stronger the mental power, the greater the magic power, and the more powerful the spell will be.
In this respect, Richard undoubtedly had excellent talent.
The threshold for learning magic is very high, not only to learn various basic subjects, but also to have a regular magic laboratory.
For high-level magicians, they also need to build mage towers to study magic, and when various conditions are met, the magic level will improve.
To learn magic systematically, you need to master a lot of knowledge, including the philosophy of magic, the history of magic, plane biology, plane geography, advanced algebra, world principles, magic patterns, physics, plane geometry, space geometry, race history, life analysis of Warcraft and so on.
Learning apothecary, magic array, and alchemy also require more professional knowledge, and as the knowledge deepens, it will continue to be refined, and the learning process will run through the entire magic career.
Fortunately, Richard had gone to college in his previous life, and the knowledge he had mastered was of great help to the study of magic.
In particular, courses in advanced mathematics, algebraic geometry, spatial geometry, and Newton's classical physics are also very important for magicians.
Thermodynamics, optics, electromagnetism, and even microscopic physics are all good for learning magic.
Richard was even ahead of his time in terms of knowledge. Since the expulsion of the ancient wizards and the fall of the gods, the magical civilization of the Dawn Plane has regressed greatly.
The sorcerers of the ancient era, who mastered the power of the rules, could fight against multiple faced gods. At that time, there were powerful wizards, and even the Astral Magic Fleet had them. Now in the Dawn Plane, there is not even a floating city.
Many new discoveries of magic rely on excavation of ruins and magical archaeology.
The magicians of the royal era developed almost from nothing.
Richard now learns magic, no one can exchange experience, and learning spells is completely based on a magic book, which can be called a cat and a tiger.
Without a teacher to teach, you can't learn magic systematically, and you don't have a top-down understanding of the subject of magic, and the objective conditions for learning magic are not very mature.
All kinds of difficulties did not make Richard flinch, stumbling, Richard studied hard, as hard as the college entrance examination in his previous life, tirelessly learning new knowledge, combining old knowledge, and gradually had his own perception of magic.
The spiritual power of human beings comes from the power of the soul, and the root of magic is the magic factor.
The combination of the magic factor and the soul is spell.
Warriors practice breathing to combine the physical body with the magic factor. Magicians practice meditation in order to combine the soul with the magic factor.
Although the soul is conceived by the body, the power contained in the rules is more powerful than the power of the body.
Therefore, the power shown by the magician is more than that of the warrior.
The first step in learning meditation is to open up the space of mental power. The size of the mental power space is directly proportional to the strength of the mental power.
The stronger the mental power, the larger and stronger the space.
The magicians of the Dawn Continent do not need to chant or cast spells to release magic.
Attracting the spell inscription outlined in the spiritual power space and investing the spiritual power can directly affect the magic factor of the material world and release the spell.
The more complex the magic inscriptions inscribed in the spiritual power space, the more powerful the spell becomes.
There is no magic net in this plane, and naturally there is no spell bit limit. As long as your mental power is strong enough, you can continuously release spells.
The strength of a spell is not only related to the level of the spell, but also to the strength of the mental power put into the mage.
A nine-ring magician unleashing an apprentice-level zero-ring trick, as long as the mental power invested is strong, it is more powerful than the six-ring magic released by the six-ring mage.
A low-level mage with strong mental power can often defeat higher-level opponents.
