Section 73 Runic Transformation
PS: Thank you book friends Qingqiu Yangui, add up to eleven, 8091, deathno1, assk, and iamnrider for the monthly passes!
For the next few days, Lance was obsessed with the study and transformation of this spell.
In the course of his research, a very crazy idea was born in his mind. Unlike other spells, the high-temperature soldering iron is very malleable, and the spell side only creates a force field and electric field that can shoot steel balls.
In other words, if you replace the small steel ball with something else, you can do it.
Soon, Lance followed this direction, and carried out many designs and reforms of spellcasting materials.
He found the castle's blacksmith and asked him to help create a series of spellcasting materials, including small thick steel balls, small throwing knives, and small daggers.
However, in the following trials, he encountered some setbacks. The results of many tests have shown that using a small flying knife or a small dagger as the casting material is actually inferior to using a small steel ball.
The reason is also very simple, the lethality of a high-temperature soldering iron lies in two aspects: one is the impact of the steel ball, and the other is the ultra-high heat attached to it. When using a throwing knife or dagger as a casting material, not only is it easy to lose accuracy when flying, but also a considerable amount of lethality is lost due to the uncontrollable direction of the dagger tip.
After the initial experiments were over, Lance finally understood that the use of small steel balls as spell casting materials was advocated on the witchcraft scrolls. The wizards of the predecessors must have also experienced countless trials. In the end, such a conclusion was reached.
For the spell of a high-temperature soldering iron, the most suitable casting material is indeed a small steel ball.
Just figuring this out doesn't mean that Lance will choose to stick to the rules. His thinking gradually turned to another angle: since it was because of the runes, which caused the steel balls or small flying knives to be uncontrollable after being fired, could he create a new spell by changing the structure of the runes?
In Lance's mind, a crazy concept slowly took shape. It is very difficult to create a new spell on top of the old spell system. Witchcraft is something that has been passed down from generation to generation. It has undergone countless transformations. Eventually, it became the current version.
The spell of the high-temperature soldering iron has been forged by so many generations of wizards, not to say that it is the most powerful, but it must be the most stable.
So most of the wizards, in the case of low rank. They will not take it upon themselves to transform the rune design. They only need to make a principled analysis of the witchcraft taught by the teacher. Then just get to grips with it quickly. There are only principles of design and construction of runes. Very few wizards dabble in the lower ranks.
But Reims is different.
Due to the difference in the way of thinking, Lance was very interested in the nature of witchcraft runes from the beginning. After learning so many runes. Gradually, he had a certain understanding of certain symbols of each rune. He recorded these, and by now, the main chip already had quite a few specific rune structures and corresponding combinations of rune effects.
"The runes of the high-temperature soldering iron only have an accelerated and heated effect on the casting material in the initial stage. The advantage of such a spell is that the mana consumption is small and it can be activated quickly. But for me, it's not practical enough. If you only pursue the effect of acceleration, the power of the high-temperature soldering iron is not as powerful as the bow and arrow blessed with electromagnetic acceleration, especially the fire arrow, and the damage of the flame, whether it is the fireball spell or the molten fire ray, is far more than this spell. ”
Lance sat at his workbench, clutching a quill in his hand.
He thought about it for a while, and began to design the spell effects he needed according to his own ideas.
Soon, the clean and flawless parchment immediately appeared with a lot of complicated words, and some messy annotations on the side.
Lance scratched his head as he quickly wrote down a line of annotations.
It didn't take long for an intricate spell rendering to appear.
Lance tossed the quill aside and gave a mental order: "Fox, according to such a spell requirement, will the symbols recorded in our database be satisfied?"
The fox quickly scanned the image.
"Database-[Spell Symbol and Rune Effect Correspondence Table] is being activated......"
"The model is established, and the spell effect corresponds to the link to open ......"
"Report, the spell effect you requested, at least one-third of the rune-making symbols in our database are mutilated. ”
In front of Lance's right eye, a pale green pattern slowly opened. It was a crude spell rune, a brand new spell that the fox had automatically designed based on Lance's request and the existing symbols in the database. It's just that the upper right side of the spell rune is still a piece of mutilation, and that piece is marked with red.
The powerful computing power of the main chip frees Lance from tedious calculations. He even doubted that if he could one day collect all the basic symbols that made up the spell runes, the fox would be able to generate all the spell runes in this world for himself out of thin air!
Of course, such an idea is also slightly crazy. After all, as far as Lance knew, once he reached the level of a third-level wizard, if he wanted to master a spell, he needed to build not just a flat spell rune, but a three-dimensional spell model! At that time, the amount of calculation would rise geometrically, so Lance's crazy idea was just a thought.
......
"I still have too few spells to deconstruct, so a third of the rune symbols are still not found in the database. Lance frowned, fiddling with the quill, but began to think of a way.
"But the wizards of Ferendor don't seem to pay much attention to the study of rune symbols, everyone finds some runes handed down from ancient times, learns them directly, and then looks for more powerful runes - few people will stop and interpret each of the symbols that make up the runes one by one, and finally figure out why the spell runes have such magical powers. Therefore, there are very few books and materials in this area. He rubbed his temples in anguish: "Catalogue of materials from the apprentice's library." The fox had also scanned it, and it turned out that there was no corresponding line at all. It's a dead end!"
The Wizards of Ferendor's neglect of the basic symbols of the runes put Lance in a dilemma.
He spent a lot of time and energy on a high-temperature soldering iron, perhaps because of some of his paranoia, but now, he doesn't believe that he can't find a solution.
"By the way, can you search for spells with similar effects?" Lance's eyes suddenly lit up, and he found another way of thinking.
Since you can't directly find the basic constituent symbols of runes, find spells that fulfill a similar effect. Then reverse deconstruction. It seems that there is also a way to get the relevant symbols.
The fox quickly searched the Crimson Castle's list of known spells, and immediately responded:
"There you go. There are three spells that can meet the conditions of the master. There happens to be one of them. Or a spell exclusive to the Magnetic Storm Mage!"
"What spell?" asked Lance.
"First-Order Spell [Demon Duncan's Sword]. Category: Force Field/Arcane. Attack: Physical/Force Field. Attack Range: Within 20 paces. ”
......
Deep in the Crimson Castle, in front of a swarthy old mansion.
"Mr. Lance, you're here. The older blacksmith saluted Lance respectfully.
He's just a mortal. In a wizarding organization like Crimson Castle, mortals are too inconspicuous. Wizards have needs in this regard, and he must meet them without requirements.
"The things you asked me to build last time, I've got ready for you. With that, he led Lance to the back and pulled out a small tin box containing a few small knick-knacks. But Lance found that the old blacksmith was obviously very attentive, and every type of iron was carefully classified by him, and it was very neat.
"Thank you. Lance handed over two magic stones as a reward.
The old blacksmith smiled happily, bowed his waist repeatedly, and sent Lance out the door.
"With these things in hand, plus the symbols I extracted from the runes of the Demon Duncan's Sword, this new spell of mine can start to be tested!"
......
A week later. In the cemetery where the snow first stopped.
Lance stood solemnly, surrounded by twenty iron dolls that he had bought from the castle's training area—though he was a little nervous at the moment, so he had gotten them on credit in Katarina's name.
In order to buy the spell runes of the Demon Duncan's Sword before, he had already spent the last magic stone on his body.
For the current spell, Lance can be described as painstaking.
Now, it's time to put it to the test.
He glanced at the iron box beside him, which contained more than a dozen kinds of iron tools. There are three-foot-long iron swords, two-foot-long daggers, finger-long knives, scattered steel balls, boomerangs......
Lance took a deep breath and let the magic pour into his newly invented rune. After a while, a faint orange glow lit up in his chest.
The orange light looks unusually soft, like a cloud of mercury suspended in the air, which is very textured.
Lance's mental power manipulated the light, lowered its height, and enveloped the three-foot-long iron sword in the iron box.
His heart gradually became excited-frankly speaking, the reason why he was so obsessed with the spell of high-temperature soldering iron was because he saw the prototype of the [Flying Sword] used by the immortals in the online Xianxia novels in his previous life!
As a descendant of Yan and Huang, although Lance coincidentally crossed into a Western Magical World realm, he was still very interested in these things. Especially when he realized that he seemed to be capable of realizing those legendary things in this worldly realm, he immediately put all his energy into it.
Now, it's time to put it to the test.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but get excited. The orange-yellow light wrapped around the iron sword and slowly flew up. Lance didn't hesitate any longer, and immediately activated another part of the rune's effect.
A pair of orange wings spread out on both sides of the iron sword, and the appearance of the iron sword immediately turned crimson!
Sou!
Under Lance's control, the speed of the iron sword increased sharply, and it stabbed straight at a puppet in the distance. (To be continued......)
