Chapter 4 The Dharma-Ending Era!

After the magic net collapsed.

The one-time memory that the wizard used to use the magic net storage must become the permanent memory of today, because there are no spell slots to help them save these constructed spell models.

A little detail must be mentioned here.

In the past, it took the longest time for wizards to memorize the spell slots when they were initially imprinted and stored. After completing the memory of the spell slots, as long as they cast this spell in the future, it would take as much time to refill and supplement the spells. very short. Even a wizard with poor talent can completely re-memorize all the spells stored in the spell slot in a maximum of 8 hours. This is one of the biggest functions of the magic net. After losing this function, many wizards must independently complete the model construction of these spells.

The only thing to be thankful for is that the strength of these spellcasters is still there.

That is to say, the most basic spiritual power and the magic power accumulated through meditation are still there. For example, Gloria showed Sauron an example.

A mid-level wizard named Corolla.

His talent is not high. It is estimated that his intelligence is barely 18-20 points including his professional bonus. His original spellcasting level is around level 8. After the collapse of the magic net, he completely lost all his spells, but after conducting tests in Modo City and Wizards Union, he re-mastered the most basic spell [Arcane Missile] through continuous practice.

This is currently the only one-level spell he can cast.

In the case of only being able to remember to cast this spell, he was able to cast arcane missiles more than 30 times in a row before exhausting his strength.

This means that his original ability to exercise has not disappeared.

It's just that he has lost the auxiliary tool of the magic net, and has become unable to master other spells. For a long time to come, he may only be able to cast some very low-level spells.

"What are you going to do now?"

Sauron frowned and looked at the test results of Goliath and others, and slowly said: "Today, there are still many wizards who cannot cast spells. This problem must be solved as soon as possible, at least so that they can protect themselves."

Gloria nodded upon hearing that, and said immediately, "I know."

"So the result of our current discussion is to let them re-memorize the most familiar and most commonly used spells. At present, they can only learn the skills of warlocks and re-master spells through repeated practice."

"but."

"In the future, it may be difficult for these people to learn new spells, and the types of spells they master may be a little less than warlocks."

Warlocks rely on talent to cast spells.

After the collapse of the magic net, the once high-ranking wizards may only be able to master a very small number of spells through continuous contact, unless they can meet the requirements of advanced arcanists.

The magic net also existed during the Arcane Empire period.

A large number of low-level spellcasters rely on the magic net to cast spells, but the level of the arcanist generally jumps out of the magic net, and if you advance to become a great arcanist, there is no problem with the magic net.

"How about the Archmage?"

Sauron thought for a while, and asked, "Has the spellcasting ability of those archmages decreased?"

It was the fallen witch who answered him, and she said slowly: "The abilities of the archmages haven't dropped much. With their talents and understanding of spells, they can cast most of the spells even without magic nets. "

"But there must be some impact."

"The impact they received should be similar to ours. They need to re-memorize all the spells."

Fallen witches are amazingly talented.

Such a complicated [Element Furnace], she can disassemble and reassemble it by relying on one person's memory. This memory and comprehension ability is simply at the level of a scientist. Archmages are all advanced legendary spellcasters, and their talents are very good. Even if the magic net collapses, they can easily re-complete the spell memory.

This should be the most fortunate point.

After the collapse of the magic net, although the wizards of the lower ranks were severely injured, the wizards above the legendary level were not affected too much.

"What about your current strength?"

Sauron thought for a while and asked, "Do you think your strength has decreased or increased?"

Gloria frowned and hesitated for a moment, then said slowly, "Not sure."

"However, one thing that is certain at present is that after the collapse of the magic net, the spells we can cast have become much more flexible. Although the original spell slots provide convenience for spellcasters, they also limit the performance of some very talented people. "

"When I cast spells in the past, I had to be limited to what was memorized in my spell slot."

"And now we can cast all the spells we can master at will! The only measure of the spells we can cast is our own spiritual power and magic power."

"Before the magic power and spiritual power are exhausted, we can use spell coordination at will."

"There is no actual combat test yet, so I'm not sure whether our strength has been reduced or improved!"

"and."

"The convenience of the magic net makes it easier to cast spells. After leaving the magic net, after our preliminary calculations, the total number of spells we can cast should be reduced by about 30%."

The magic net is a framework, but also a limitation.

One level of spell slots can only memorize one level of spells. Although the utilization rate has been maximized, the framework is there after all, and no one can jump out of the restrictions of the law of the goddess of magic.

Now that the magic net has collapsed, without this framework, there will be no such convenience.

Relying on the use of individual abilities alone is bound to be inferior to the huge magic net, so overall, the total amount of spells that can be cast is reduced.

certainly.

Unless you only remember to cast first-level spells, the number of spells you cast will explode, because all the second-level spell slots in the past have become the magic power for casting first-level spells.

"How long will it take for these spellcasters to recover their combat effectiveness?"

Sauron asked the most critical question.

Gloria pondered for a long time before saying: "It's hard to say. Now we can only look at their individual talents. It is estimated that in about a month, most spellcasters can recover some spells."

"But some of them may only be able to perform some 0-level tricks in the future."

Without the magic net, the reality is so cruel.

Spellcasters who are not at the master level or quasi-master level will be able to use level 0 tricks to conjure magic in the future.

The existence of the magic net naturally has its reasons. How glorious the Thorium era was, after the death of the first generation of magic goddesses, it was also destroyed in history. An arcane civilization cannot be supported only by those geniuses at the top. If magic is to be used and popularized by the people, it must rely on the power of the magic net. If the magic net cannot be restored, the current group of spellcasters will be better .

From now on, without the assistance of the magic net, the difficulty for anyone to become an advanced wizard will increase exponentially!

Sauron conservatively estimated that they needed an initial intelligence of 18 points before they could advance to become wizard apprentices, master the lowest level 0 tricks, and then start learning first-level spells when their professional level reached around level 4. (Remarks: Because at level 4 of the wizard profession, their intelligence can only reach about 20 points.)

Now this group of wizards still has past accumulation and training, and most of their intelligence has been raised to more than 20 points because of their professional level.

In the future, the number of wizards will plummet!

Losing the magic net, if it cannot be restored, or other substitutes are found, then the age of magic will gradually come, and the number of spellcasters will eventually decrease!
