Chapter 392 Mythical Spells (Ⅱ)

The third spell that Joan determined was worthy of optimization was "Mage Armor".

This spell can provide the caster with a layer of invisible armor condensed by magic power, and its defense power is equivalent to a finely crafted "scale armor".

Joan's expectation for the optimization of this spell is very clear, that is, to continue to improve the defense power, the higher the improvement, the better, other than that, there is nothing else to ask for!

The function of the "shield technique" is also to enhance the defense power, and the force field tower shield created is similar to the defense level of the real tower shield.

Joan has two main expectations for the optimization of this spell.

First of all, of course, to enhance physical defense, and secondly, try to strengthen its resistance to spells.

If this idea can be realized, "Mythical Shield Technique" and "Mythical Magic Missile" will form a tactical combination of offense and defense.

The "mythical missile" launched by Joan can penetrate the shield spell of the enemy spellcaster, but the enemy's "magic missile" will be blocked by his mythical shield...

If this happens, even if the enemy mage is not killed, he will be mad at him.

The last two candidate spells are "Enlargement" and "Reduction". Among them, "Enlargement" is more commonly used by Joan.

This spell can temporarily double the size of a humanoid, gaining an additional 2 points of strength, and also reducing the dexterity attribute by 2 points due to the slowness of movement caused by the increased size.

Joan's "Giant Enlargement Technique" was mainly used to cooperate with "Mage's Assault Palm".

The doubled body size and extra strength bonus can directly enhance the power of "Mage Strike Palm".

Following this tactical idea, he expects that the fully optimized "Giant Enlargement Technique" can go to the next level, increase his body size by three times or even four times, and increase more strength attributes. In this way, It will be even more powerful if you cooperate with the "Mage Strike Palm"!

Of course, this comes at the cost of sacrificing more agility.

Fortunately, his agility attribute is not low, and it's not a big deal to lose three or four points.

Besides, for a giant who is more than 20 feet tall and weighs as much as 5,000 pounds, frontal toughness is king just now, so why do you want to dodge and move around!

Joan learned the "shrinking technique" a long time ago, but he hardly ever used it.

He put this somewhat unpopular spell in the "optimization" list, not just because of his fascination with "symmetry aesthetics".

The main reason is that he deeply knows that although this spell is not practical, it has great potential, especially after optimization, it can even create a set of very magical tactics around the "myth reduction technique".

The normal version of the "shrinking technique" is exactly the opposite of the function of the "magnifying technique". It can reduce the size of a humanoid creature to half of its normal form, and its strength is correspondingly weakened by 2 points. Thanks to its petite and flexible figure, its agility attribute is Will increase by 2 points.

The embarrassment of this spell is that it is difficult to find the applicable scene.

For example, Qiao An's height is five feet two inches, and if he shrinks by half, he will be less than three feet, which is equivalent to the figure of a four-year-old child.

What good would it do him to be a "bad kid" if he wasn't interested in sneaking around or upskirting women?

Of course, this spell can also be applied to the enemy, such as turning a big man into a dwarf, which is easy to deal with.

However, the success rate of the "shrinking technique" is closely related to the physical attributes of the subject. The stronger the physique, the more likely it is to be immune to the effects of this spell.

The burly man was obviously physically strong, so instead of casting the "shrinking technique" on him personally at the risk of failing to cast the spell, it would be better to hide in the distance and shoot "magic missiles" at his face.

In Qiao An's opinion, the weak point of the "reduction technique" is that it is not small enough!

It is far from enough to reduce the size of a normal person by half. If it can be reduced to a quarter of the original shape, it will be a big difference!

Joan's optimization expectation for the "myth reduction technique" is to shrink the subject as much as possible, the smaller the better.

As for the inevitable loss of the strength attribute during the shrinking process, it is not important, after all, there is an additional increase in the agility attribute as a hedge.

Besides, if the height is reduced to less than one and a half feet, who would be so stupid as to confront others head-on?

Of course, you have to shoot yourself with "invisibility", resist a poisoned utility knife, and become a "pedicure master" that gods and ghosts hate.

The potential of "reduction surgery" does not stop there.

If Joan's expectations are realized, he will try to use the "transformation technique" with the "myth reduction technique" next.

"Transfiguration" can change the race of a humanoid creature, and among the common humanoid races, the "halfling" is probably the shortest.

If the lush leg hair is hidden, an adult halfling looks like a four or five-year-old human child, with an average height of only about three feet and a weight of just over 30 pounds.

If Joan casts the "Transformation Technique" first to become a halfling with a height of three feet, and then applies the "Myth Shrinkage Technique" to himself, his height will shrink to about 8 inches, and his weight will also shrink to no more than 8 pounds.

Emmmm...

How many interesting things a person can do in such a small form depends entirely on imagination.

After the previous three months of preparation, Joan's optimization of "Mythical Spells" was on the right track.

In the barracks, frankly speaking, life is relatively boring. He is not interested in social activities such as drinking and gambling that soldiers are keen on. After finishing his work every day, he hides alone in the single barracks, studying mythology and spells.

The research method is quite simple to say, it is to enter the state of spiritual meditation, use the "power of myth" to strengthen the "will probe", and then use this probe composed entirely of spiritual power as a "knitting needle" to extract magic power from the magic net The silk thread is woven into a spell configuration, and then the spell configuration is constantly adjusted according to the preset optimization expectations.

So repeated inspections, repeated attempts.

If you find unsatisfactory places, break up the local configurations that have been woven, and re-weave them until they meet your expectations.

Unfortunately, ideals sometimes have to yield to reality.

During the specific optimization practice process, Qiao An also found that the expectations he first set were a bit too high, and it seemed unrealistic to implement them.

At this time, you can't be too stubborn, you must lower your expectations, and achieve the best results under the conditions that reality allows.

A monotonous and busy life is like a clock, which turns unhurriedly every day, and time passes quietly as the pendulum swings.

When the time came to September 24, 1620, Joan's "mythical spell" optimization research had made a breakthrough.

At the same time, after two weeks of hard work by all officers and soldiers and more than 200 workers, coupled with the sufficient building materials provided by the "Stone Wand", the border fort that George Vassar was ordered to supervise was finally completed!
