Chapter 2038 Magic Experiment

If the improved version of "Plant Withering" can kill supernatural plants, how much is the specific lethality?

Since the original spell does not have a reference index, Joan can't answer the above question, so he can only seek answers in the experiment.

The "Killer Vine", which was driven away by Joan's spell just now, was about to move again at this moment, waving thorny thorns and surrounded Joan.

"Ambar!"

Joan used "Plant Withering" again, but this time it was an improved version incorporating Eoh runes, and opened "Advanced Internal Vision" in advance to closely monitor the changes in the vitality of "Killer Vine".

The process of life going to death is "destruction", and this implication is presented to Joan in the most intuitive way.

The moment the spell erupted, more than a dozen "killer vines" withered collectively, and their vitality plummeted. After just three seconds, they all stopped crawling, turning from emerald green bushes into piles of dehydrated dry wood.

Through the monitoring of "Advanced Internal Vision", Joan found that the improved version of "Plant Withering" caused an average of 10 energy levels of damage to "Killer Vine" - this damage value has exceeded the upper limit of "Killer Vine" life, and the result is Instant death.

As a third-level spell, the destructive power of level 10 seems to be quite satisfactory, but considering the abnormally large attack range of "Plant Withering", it is enough to show how remarkable the strengthening effect of the Eoh rune is on it!

Looking at the corpse of "Killer Vine" that turned into waste wood, Qiao An nodded with satisfaction, and took up a pen to record the experimental data.

"Plant withering" can be used in two ways, causing a field of plants to wither quickly, or cursing a larger area of ​​crops, reducing their yields. Joan only tested the former usage, and then plans to conduct a comparative experiment on the latter usage.

The production reduction effect caused by the curse will not be reflected until the harvest season. The crop growth cycle is too long, and Joan can't stay on the island for two or three months. It is best to use a flexible method to artificially shorten the crop from germination to maturity. growth cycle.

In order to design the production reduction experiment, Qiao An specially invented a 6-level spell-"Group Sands of Time" based on the 3-level spell "Sands of Time".

The original version of "Sands of Time" is only effective on a single target touched by the caster, accelerating maturation and even aging.

The "Sands of Mass Time" invented by Joan expands the basic range of the spell to 100 feet, and the range of influence is expanded from a single object to all creatures within a radius of 20 feet, and the aging speed of the subject can be fine-tuned for experimental observation .

Joan stepped on the dead branches, and there was a crackling sound under his feet. He crossed the abandoned camp and came to the wild sugarcane field growing beside the stream. He circled three experimental fields of similar size and marked them as "Experimental Group No. 1" respectively. , "Experimental group No. 2" and "Control group".

Qiao An first cast the improved version of "Plant Withering" on "Experimental Group No. 1", cursing the wild sugarcane field covering an area of ​​about 1,000 square feet, and then cast the original version of "Plant Withering" on the field where "Experimental Group No. 2" is located. "Curse of production reduction" mode.

As for the "control group", Joan didn't cast any curses.

Next, Joan took 3 "powers of myth" and cast "Sands of Group Time" on the three experimental fields respectively, which accelerated the growth and development of wild sugarcane, and fully matured in just a few seconds.

Joan stopped casting the spell to prevent the sugar cane from aging.

The situation of the three experimental fields is clear at a glance. Taking the "control group" without the curse of yield reduction as the benchmark, the "experimental group No. 2" with the original version of "plant withering" is obviously stunted, and the sugarcane yield is only two-thirds of the "control group"; As for the "Experimental Group No. 1" with the improved version of "Plant Withering", the sugarcane is generally short and weak, growing sparsely, and the yield is at most only one-third of that of the "Control Group".

The three fields with the same water, heat and soil conditions are planted with the same crop. The original version of "Plant Withering" can reduce the yield of the cursed wild sugarcane by one-third, while the improved version of "Plant Withering" has a stronger curse effect than the original version. If the output is fully doubled, the theoretical output reduction rate should be two-thirds, which has also been proved in experiments.

Joan was very satisfied with this set of experimental data, and took a pen to record it. Unfortunately, the content of the experiment involved runes, so it was inconvenient to publish the research paper publicly.

Among the sparse bushes of sugarcane, there seems to be a reflection of metal.

Joan rubbed his stinging eyes, walked over to take a look, and unexpectedly found a skeleton lying across the sugarcane bushes. It was twelve feet long from head to toe. It should be a giant in stature, wearing heavy clothes A knight in armor, holding a broadsword tightly until death.

The skeleton of this giant warrior had been sleeping by the stream for many years, covered by weeds and sand. If Joan hadn't cast a spell to eliminate the shrubs and "killer vines" that had been entrenched in this generation, and used a curse to make this wild land The sugarcane bushes were stunted and sparse, and the skeleton could not be exposed to his eyes.

Joan took a closer look and found that the armor worn by the giant skeleton and the broadsword held in his hand were all rusty. Using the "Mage's Hand", he raised his helmet and visor, revealing a pale skull with his mouth wide open, as if he was still roaring unwillingly before dying.

Looking at the skeleton of this giant warrior, Qiao An had an idea and decided to use the ready-made materials to test the recently learned 6-level spell "Arouse Undead" to create an undead servant.

The original example of "Awakening the Undead" was to create a "ghoul". However, a mere wretched ghoul can't satisfy the appetite of a genius mage. Several new modules that can be replaced to create other types of undead creatures.

"Awakening Undead" does not limit the types of undead creatures that can be created, but the ceiling of the magic power level exists objectively. A simple conversion can tell that using this spell to create a single undead creature has a maximum level of 15.

Comparing it with the "Oath from Another World", which is also a 6th-level spell, there is no limit to the types of alien creatures that can be called, but the maximum level of creatures is only 15-this is not a coincidence, the spell school may be different, but as long as It is a 6-level spell, and it is usually subject to the same magic power limit.

Of course, by adding special spell-casting materials or integrating runes, the upper limit of magic power of spell slots can also be broken through, but this is not of universal significance, and Joan will not consider it for the time being.

When Qiao An first created the Constructed Servant, he thought that he should either not do it, or do it the best. The magical mecha that he created in the end was a mid-level Construct in name, but its comprehensive performance has surpassed High-level constructs like "Iron Golem".

At this moment, he intends to create an undead servant, and he is also adhering to the same philosophy-under the constraints of the current conditions, create the best overall performance of the undead servant as much as possible.
