Main Text Volume Chapter 156: Backlash of Magic
However, the system can only follow established common sense to deduce.
Therefore, the last step of using the magic formula to turn the permutations and combinations into a magic model needs to be completed by Angel himself. Because this is no longer in the category of "science".
Angel let the system continue to calculate, and he began to turn each combination into a magic model.
Magic model 1: "Broken magatama in the center of the circle".
Angel used magic to test it, and finally took out a pen and paper to record: "It doesn't seem to have much effect, but the humidity of the surrounding air has obviously decreased. Maybe there is a dehumidification effect? Further test paper testing is needed."
Magic model 2: "Broken magatama are distributed around, and there are faint threads connecting them."
The effect of this magic model test surprised Angel a little, and a pool of water appeared out of thin air. Compared with the several magic models he tested before, this one has more "mortal" meaning. If it is performed in front of mortals, it can be called "magic", right?
Effect record: "Extract moisture from the air and release a pool of shapeless water out of thin air, measuring about a measuring cup. Let's name it... Water Delivery Technique. The measurement is improved and further testing is needed."
Jigsaw Model 3: "The magatama is inserted diagonally into the plane."
Effect record: "There is a small range of wind, and extremely tiny water droplets are condensed."
Jigsaw Model 4: "..."
...
Angel tested all the trick models one by one. From the test results, there are basically no useful trick models: either there is too much moisture, or the wind is louder, and some of them he can't even tell whether there is any change.
In this large number of experiments, Angel also summarized some rules. For example, if the trick model is the "Broken Magatama Series", then the balance of water and wind elements focuses on the water element. If the trick model is the "Plane and Complete Magatama Series", then the balance of water and wind elements focuses on the wind element.
Angel recorded the rules he summarized in a book. So that he can check it in the future.
Until then, he began to respect his predecessors. He wondered how long they had tested to come up with a perfect "cleansing" trick model...
After releasing about 15 variants of "cleansing", Angell found that the magic released by the magic source and the original magic absorbed from the outside began to be in a state of disconnection.
"It seems that the current full load of magic can only perform 15 level 0 tricks." Angell muttered silently. This data does not look very good, but if Angell remembered correctly, the book recorded that the magic power of a first-level apprentice was estimated to be only enough to release 1.5 level 0 tricks, and meditation was needed to restore magic power. And the amount of magic he cast was basically 10 times that of others.
However, Angell also tested it, and the total amount of magic he squeezed out was actually not much higher than that of his peers. The reason why the effect can reach 10 times is probably because of the purity of the magic. The purer the magic, the less magic can be used than others to interfere with the material world.
After running out of magic power, Angel immediately began to meditate to recover.
During his meditation, the system was still calculating the various permutations and combinations of the water and wind elements in the essence of the Cleansing Technique.
Angel meditated for three hours, and his magic power was about half recovered. At this time, the system had arranged more than a hundred combinations. The more variables there were, the slower the calculation speed was. At present, it took 13 minutes to complete the arrangement of a new combination, which was much slower than the initial 30 seconds per combination.
Angel initially tested simple models. After recovering half of his magic power, he decided to try this more complex magic model that took more than 10 minutes for the system to calculate.
It took Angel more than an hour to convert the calculated results into a magic model through the magic formula.
For this new model that looks much more complicated than the original "Cleansing Technique" magic model, Angel has a little expectation in his heart.
New magic model: "Half of the magatama is broken, and the plane is turned into a folded 9-gon, dividing the magatama into thirteen sections."
Angel excitedly squeezed the magic power out of the magic source, and then carefully guided the magic power into the shape of this model...
What he didn't expect was that he had just simulated half of the magatama, and the magic power was actually consumed? !
Angel was dumbfounded. He felt that the size of the model was about the same as the original, so why was the magic power consumed so frighteningly?
The magic model in the mind space, which was only half of the progress, slowly began to disintegrate and collapse when Angel did not continue to build it for a long time. But the disintegration was not a big deal. The backlash when the magic model was broken collided with the entire mind space.
Angel only felt that his mind was in a trance, and then his brain seemed to explode, and he felt a sharp pain, his ears roared, and it seemed that liquid flowed out of his eyes, mouth, nose, and ears.
Immediately afterwards, Angel only felt that his eyes went black, and then he could no longer perceive anything in the outside world.
Angel seemed to be unconscious and awake. He had no thinking ability at the moment, but the severe pain repeatedly exploded in the depths of his mind. The pain was accompanied by unconscious sobbing, and it continued like this...
It was unknown how long it took before he woke up from his daze.
Angel felt a splitting headache, and rubbed his temples slightly, and found that his fingers were stained with blood-colored sand shells. He wiped his face with a little force, and found that there were fine scabs of blood falling.
Looking at the blood scab powder on the ground, it was not until then that Angel recalled what happened before he fell into a coma.
Angel quickly found similar situations from the books he had read.
——Spell backlash.
The book records that there are three situations that lead to spell backlash. First, the wizard forcibly casts a spell beyond his level; second, the magic model is constructed incorrectly. Third, when the magic model is halfway constructed, the magic power is insufficient, causing the model to collapse.
Angel is obviously the third reason.
Spell backlash is a common situation in the wizard world, but it is mostly due to the second reason. Other wizards are all real human brain calculations, and occasional mistakes are understandable.
But the third reason...even for apprentices, it rarely occurs. Because as long as wizards train step by step, they will gradually understand their bottom line, so they can avoid things that go beyond the bottom line.
Angel is completely a fool, relying on the calculation power of the system to directly climb over mountains, without knowing his bottom line at all. This led to the tragic life.
The end of spell backlash is generally very miserable. Minor injuries are very rare, and there are serious injuries or even death. Therefore, formal wizards rarely build models randomly, and most of them follow the footsteps of their predecessors, which is at least much safer.
Angel's condition was not good either, and his entire mind space was in a mess. As soon as he entered the meditative state, he felt a splitting headache.
Fortunately, he constructed a very low-level trick model, not a magic model. So the backlash was not as serious as imagined, and it would automatically ease after resting for ten days or half a month.
Ten days and half a month of inability to meditate was considered to be a period for Angel's reckless experiment.
Angel looked at the system still calculating the permutations and combinations of the "cleaning technique" autonomously, thought about it, and ignored it, letting it continue to calculate. He dragged his tired body out of the quiet room, boiled water to take a bath, and washed off the blood scabs on his body.
Soaking in the warm water, Angel's mood has not yet recovered.
Because of ignoring common sense and thinking that he had the help of the "holographic tablet", he was blindly confident and acted so recklessly.
Fortunately, the trick he constructed was just a variant model of the O-level trick cleaning technique, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable! Angel secretly warned himself in his heart that this kind of lesson was enough once, and there must not be a next time!
…
During this period of time, he could not meditate temporarily, and Angel did not want to be idle, so he simply sorted out the information in the holographic tablet.
The books he recorded from Sanders' library were mostly in picture format, and Angel only needed to classify them and he could sort them out quickly.
But some of the information and parchment he recorded in the nightmare world were mostly in image format, and Angel needed to take screenshots one by one, and then correct them before placing them in the appropriate folder. This process was time-consuming and laborious, and Angel could only sort them out slowly.
During his sorting process, the water and wind element combinations of "cleaning technique" were all calculated by the system, with a total of 630 kinds. Angel created a folder "O-level magic-cleaning technique" in the subdirectory of the magic folder, and put all the permutations and combinations derived by the system into it, and waited for the backlash of the magic to ease before studying it again.
The third day of the early morning of the Flowery Moon.
Angel put down the work in his hands. The time for Sanders Witch Garden to be completed was approaching. There was still one day left before the one-week deadline mentioned by Butler Good.
Angel decided to wait on the Magic Island first. Although he didn't know what the so-called "chance" was, seeing other wizard apprentices surrounding the Magic Island and eyeing it covetously, he thought that this "chance" was also very important.
Angel washed up and wanted to make himself more energetic, but even if he put on gorgeous clothes and combed his hair into a slicked back hair meticulously, his bloodless cheeks and trance after the backlash of magic made him look more sick, as if a gust of wind could blow him down.
"Alas..." Angel looked at the decadent self in the mirror, and finally sighed, took off the flashy coat, and put on the "school uniform" received from the resource allocation hall-a black robe in the style of a bed sheet.
With a hood covering his pale and sick face, Angel stepped out of the house.
When leaving, Angel did not forget to call Toby.
"You also heard it last time on the Magic Island." Angel said to Toby standing on his shoulder: "There will be a great opportunity when the witch garden is formed. When the time comes, we will be together. Maybe you will also encounter the opportunity and turn the little bird into a phoenix."
The phoenix is a mythical bird in the mythology of the earth. Toby has naturally never heard of it, but this does not prevent him from understanding what Angel meant, and he nodded excitedly.
Seeing Toby's cheerful look, Angel's mood also improved unconsciously. He smiled and patted his little head: "Even if there is no opportunity this time, when I go to the cloud library next time, I will also help you find the method of how to practice magic beasts."
