Chapter 310 New Spell
Joan noticed that the librarian was using "advanced internal vision" to examine herself, so she didn't resist and let her peep at her professional level.
The old woman showed a relieved smile after reading it, and nodded to indicate that he could check the spell catalog.
After thanking Joan, he walked to the cabinet and opened a drawer. There were hundreds of wooden carving cards neatly arranged in it. Each card corresponds to a 2-level spell, and the borrowing fee is 200 Gold Duga.
If you want to copy all the second-level spells collected in the library into your own spell book, it will cost 20,000 gold coins at least. Just thinking about it made Qiao An feel his scalp tingling, mages were indeed a money-burning profession.
Joan put aside distracting thoughts, calmed down and browsed the spell catalog, and soon found that most of the second-level spells were only applicable to specific occasions and targets, and there was no need to spend money to copy them.
Excluding the eleven 2nd-level spells that have been copied from his spell book, there are still about thirty or forty 2nd-level spells with strong versatility. What he has to do now is to select a few that are more cost-effective and give priority to them. course of study.
After preliminary screening, Joan picked out twenty cards from the drawer.
The level 2 spells corresponding to these cards are very useful, and he will have to learn them sooner or later, but he can't spend enough money to transcribe all these spells, so he has to reluctantly give up and do a second round of screening.
Picking up a card and looking at it, Joan forced himself to put it back in the drawer, feeling extremely reluctant.
At this moment, it is ridiculous to think back to the self-satisfied state of mind when I first won the hunting contest bonus.
Even copying the spell scrolls has to be calculated carefully, and the day when I can achieve "financial freedom" is probably still far away.
After some difficult choices, Joan finally selected 8 second-level spells, paid 1600 Gold Duga to the librarian for borrowing, and returned to the reading room with a bunch of scrolls to study hard.
Joan first chose three transformation spells, "The Cunning of the Fox", "The Wisdom of the Owl" and "The Prestige of the Eagle", together with the "Power of the Bull", "The Tenacity of the Bear" and "The Power of the Cat" he had already mastered. "Elegance" belongs to the same system, which can be understood by analogy and is not difficult to learn.
In fact, among these three spells, what Qiao An urgently needs is "Fox's Cunning" which improves intelligence - the spellcasting attribute of mages - "Owl's Wisdom" which enhances Perception attribute and "Eagle's Prestige" which enhances Charm attribute "Comparatively speaking, it is not that important, and it can be postponed until the future when you have more money to transcribe.
However, in this way, the above-mentioned six second-level spells cannot be combined to form a perfect system. I always feel that something is missing and I feel uncomfortable.
Finally making such a choice, Joan had to admit that one of the most important factors was to satisfy her own "obsessive-compulsive disorder".
The second level 2 spell that Joan borrowed from the library was "Advanced Internal Vision".
This spell is an all-round upgraded and enhanced version of the 0-ring "Inside Sight". Not only can you check your own situation, but you can also peek at other people's camps, attributes, occupational levels, and health status. It can be called an essential means of detecting the enemy's situation.
Once the "Advanced Internal Vision" is blessed, the effect of the spell can last for a whole day. During this day, one can peep at any target at will, but it is not certain whether one can see through the opponent's details.
If the other party is vigilant enough and strong-willed, it is possible to resist peeping with its own will, so as to avoid exposing its own secrets.
"Peeping" and "anti-peeping" are a contest on the spiritual level, and the outcome is determined by the magic power, willpower and unpredictable luck of both parties. Control" spells are consistent.
Joan's next choice was "peace of mind".
There are two versions of this spell: divine spell and arcane spell. Except for the different nature of the energy driving the spell, there is no difference in other aspects. Its function is to temporarily suppress various abnormal emotions, including but not limited to berserk, fear, and charm effects.
For the duration of the spell, the caster and all companions within 20 feet are immune to abnormal emotions and remain calm and rational.
The reason why Joan gave priority to choosing "Stable Mind" was mainly inspired by the fierce battle that hunted "Prince Razor" not long ago.
At that time, he and his companions hadn't seen Prince Razor before, and they were so frightened by the "fear aura" inspired by the other party's roar that they almost peed their pants.
Fortunately, Major Vasa turned on the "Courage Halo", and Rebecca's "Tranquility" helped everyone dispel fear in time and stabilize the morale of the army. Otherwise, there would be no need to fight in the future. Most hunters, including Joan, would have They were so frightened that they ran for their lives.
There are countless monsters like "Prince Razor" who are good at using magic or supernatural power to intimidate, confuse, and irritate their opponents. Joan himself is also good at performing "frightening" and "human charm", so he has a deeper understanding of these "" The frightening aspect of the "heart attack" method.
No matter how tough a person looks, once he loses control of his emotions and loses his mind, he will inevitably be used by others and become a sad puppet.
In order to combat this kind of means of provoking emotions, spellcasters throughout the ages have developed many spiritual defense spells, among which the most widely applicable and lowest level is "Stable Mind".
Joan also gained another insight in this hunting competition: When facing a strong enemy or outnumbered, purely lethal spells are far less effective than those that can "control the field".
For example, facing a large group of wild boars charging aggressively, releasing a "magic missile" or "burning hand" will not change the situation, but will make you die faster.
However, a "greasy spell" released at the right position may block the charge of the pig herd and give him a chance to escape.
Joan already has offensive 2nd-level spells such as "Scorching Ray" and "Force Field Blast", and the next two 2nd-level spells to choose are more focused on controlling the battlefield, one is "Spider Web" and the other is "Flash Dust" .
Joan once witnessed Martin Smith cast the "spider web spell" on Wild Boar Island, waving his hand and releasing sticky spider silk covering a space with a radius of 20 feet, entangled all wild boars within the range of the spell.
Even a brute beast like a wild boar can only crawl slowly like a tortoise under the restraint of the "Spider Web Technique", which shows that its field control is far better than the "Greasy Technique".
The arcane "Flash Dust" of the 2nd level conjuration school is as famous as "Spider Web", and it is also a very practical low-level spell.
After successfully casting the spell, a large cloud of shining dust is released, covering a space with a radius of ten feet. The hostile creatures that cannot dodge will be stabbed in the eyes by the dust emitting strong light, and fall into temporary blindness.
From this perspective, "Flash Dust" is actually an enhanced version of the 0-ring "Flash Technique" and the 1-ring "Flash Burst". But the magical effect of "Flash Dust" does not stop there, it also has the function of anti-invisibility.
If an invisible creature exists in an area filled with flash dust, the body will show a clear outline due to the attachment of flash dust, thus losing the ability of invisibility.
Both the "Spider Web Technique" and "Glittering Dust" need to be paired with specific spell-casting materials. Fortunately, they are not rare objects. The former needs a ball of spider silk, and the latter needs a piece of mica. You can buy a lot of them for a few copper coins.
The last level 2 spell that Joan transcribed in the library is the most complex, the most profound, and the most versatile. It is so extensive that it is impossible to fully list its specific usage.
This miraculous and great spell is the pride of the "Transfiguration School" - the 2nd ring "Transformation"!
