Chapter 583 Form Stability Ring

After Qiao An read through "Golem Research Notes", he found that in the second half of the book, the content covered even went beyond the scope of "advanced construction", and began to involve the cutting-edge field of "legendary construction". The most obvious sign is the frequent mention of a word in the second half of the book - "Colossus"!

What is a "colossus"? According to the records in the book, it refers to a class of "legendary constructs" that are more powerful than golems.

During the peak period of giant civilization, making "Colossus" and "Floating Void City" were two things that a legendary mage had to do to show his financial resources and academic level. If a legendary mage didn't have a "Colossus" as a bodyguard, There is no floating city of their own at home, just like the gentlemen in the south of the New World who don’t have horses and manors, they are embarrassed to say hello to relatives and friends when they go out.

Unfortunately, with the end of the era of giants, the civilization of the giant family has turned from prosperity to decline. Today, most of the technologies and magics used to create legendary constructs have long been lost. Floating castles can no longer be seen in the empty sky, and neither are the giant statues. rare.

Even if some ancient giant families still inherit the giant statues left by their ancestors, they may not be able to create the same "miracle on earth".

Qiao An caressed the immeasurably valuable notebook in his hand, and couldn't help feeling overwhelmed.

As long as he is given enough time to study, one day he will be able to fully grasp the precious knowledge recorded in this secret book. At that time, he can try to make golems and even colossal images with his own hands, so as to bring back the glory of ancient civilization to the world.

Of course, if you want to make a golem or even a colossus, only one textbook is not enough. What Joan lacks most now is not knowledge, but wealth. Even if he sells him, it is still not enough to make an iron golem. Money and resources, not to mention the legendary Colossus.

Thinking of the "money" issue, Joan became depressed, sighed, and stuffed the "Golem Research Notes" by Archmage Vavrunil back into the storage bag, and read it in detail when he had time.

Joan then picked up the quaint golden ring and observed it in the palm of his hand. Judging by the yellow magic aura radiated from it, the ring was probably bound with some kind of "Transformation School" arcane.

Joan has never learned this spell, but he is sure that he has seen this spell somewhere before, otherwise he would not have such a familiar impression!

With a sense of anticipation similar to rushing to "solve the case", Joan took out a pen and ink, skillfully depicted the No. 4 rune "Ansuz" on the ring, and tried to analyze the magic attached to the ring.

The magic power of the ring fluctuated, and the lines of luminous text mixed with formulas and geometric figures were successfully parsed out. Joan glanced at it and smiled as expected. It seemed familiar just now, and the ring was indeed attached to 4 rings. Metamorphosis".

Joan had already copied "Transfiguration", so there was no need to read it carefully, but in order to understand the special effects of this ring's enchantment, he read the analyzed spell from beginning to end, and got an unexpected surprise !

Normally, casting "Transfiguration" only needs to occupy a 4th-level spell slot. However, the "Transformation" attached to this ring is very special.

Using an 8-level spell slot to accommodate a 4-level spell is like "killing a chicken with a sledgehammer" or "killing a mosquito with a cannon", which is a bit too wasteful.

However, Qiao An knew in his heart that no one who could cast 8-level spells was a fool, and there was no need to doubt the ability to calculate and count. It was impossible to do such a waste of resources for no reason, and there must be something strange in it!

Joan became interested, and concentrated on analyzing the mysterious ring. After half an hour, he finally realized the mystery. It turned out that the "transfiguration" was added with some kind of "super magic" special effect, in order to fully realize the super magic function. , The maker of this ring had to increase the "Transformation" which was originally only 4 rings to 8 rings.

With the upgrade of the spell slot, the upper limit of the magic power of the spell has also been greatly increased, and all the extra magic power is used to match a super magic skill called "Advanced Spell Delay"!

Joan once learned "Spell Delay". This super magic skill is added to the spell, which can double the duration of the spell. The price paid for this is an additional spell slot.

"Advanced Spell Delay", as the name suggests, is an upgraded version of "Spell Delay". A spellcaster must be proficient in "Spell Delay" before he can learn "Advanced Spell Delay". Joan just meets this requirement. A prerequisite, and with his intelligence level and knowledge reserve, it is not difficult to understand the mystery of this super magic skill.

To put it simply, when a spellcaster casts a spell with a time limit, for every additional 1-level spell slot to match the "advanced spell delay", the duration of the spell can be extended by one level, up to Take "day" as the unit.

A concept is involved here, which is the unit of spell duration.

Excluding those spells that take effect instantly and spells that take effect forever, most of the other spells have a time limit, and the magic power will continue to dissipate over time. When the magic power is exhausted, the spell will reach the time limit and will be released automatically.

There are usually five time units for spells. The shortest unit is "round", which is 6 seconds; the slightly longer unit is "minute", which is 1 minute; the unit of time greater than minute is "tick". , which is equivalent to 10 minutes; the larger unit of time is "clock", which is 1 hour, which is equivalent to 60 minutes; the last is "day", which is a day and night, which is equivalent to 24 hours.

In addition, there are larger units of time such as "weeks", "months", "years", and "century", but these are rarely used in spells, so they are usually not considered.

The magic of "Advanced Spell Delay" is that it can extend the effective time of a spell by an order of magnitude.

Spells with "round" as the unit, such as the 2nd ring "Flash Dust", upgraded to 3rd ring and then paired with "Advanced Spell Delay", the blinding time can be increased by ten times, and the unit is "minutes". If you upgrade to level 4, the unit will be "10 minutes", and so on, as long as you have a high enough spell slot, you can increase the duration of the spell step by step until the unit is "days"!

Knowing the magical effect of "advanced spell delay", Joan rubbed his hands excitedly, quickly picked up a pen and dipped in ink, and copied this extremely powerful ancient super magic mystery into his spell book as the focus of his next stage course of study.
