Chapter 702 Magic Imprint
The structure of the spell, that is, the "magic configuration", can be disassembled and analyzed. The structure of each step is clear and logical, and can be mastered through learning.
The structure of the supernatural ability, that is, the "magic imprint", cannot be fully analyzed. Except for some fragments similar to the "magic configuration", it also needs the cooperation of the flesh and soul of a specific creature to exert its full magic power.
For example, the giant dragon, its two iconic supernatural abilities are "dragon breath" and "dragon power".
Only a real giant dragon can exude dragon power and breathe dragon breath.
Conversely, creatures without dragon veins, no matter how smart they are, will never be able to learn these two supernatural abilities.
From this perspective, "magic configuration" is pure "software", while "supernatural ability" is more dependent on "hardware".
At this moment, what Joan analyzed in the Throat Locker was a kind of "magic imprint".
This suggests that the choker possesses some kind of supernatural ability - but what is it?
Qiao An thought for a while, then made a series of spell-casting gestures, and cast a 2-ring necromancy arcane "Blood Interpretation" on the corpse of the choker.
"Blood Interpretation" can further improve the analytical ability of the No. 4 rune.
Joan had already noticed this when he was studying the corpse of the kobold warlock.
The disembowelled choker was lying on its back on the ground, and the blood in its abdominal cavity would not be less than 1 pint, which was enough to support the "blood interpretation" to work.
The spell was successfully completed, and as Joan wished, the No. 4 rune was even more powerful, and more fragments of the "magic mark" were analyzed, and the structural details became fuller.
Joan carefully observed the glowing magic marks.
These geometric figures entangled by the magic mesh threads can actually be translated into logical statements, or a kind of "code".
It's a pity that Qiao An can only understand a small part of it. It seems to be some kind of transformation effect, and the specific function is unknown.
Supernatural abilities also have restrictions on the level of magic power.
The magic imprint analyzed from the corpse of the choke monster has a relatively stable energy level. If you use arcane magic as an analogy, it should not exceed level 3.
Besides, Joan couldn't analyze any more useful information.
Fortunately, besides this corpse, he also has a living sample.
Joan turned around and looked into a dark corner, making eye contact with Gulu.
Gulu trembled and lowered his head, not daring to meet his master's gaze.
At this time, Joan's will broke into its mind.
"I found some kind of magical imprint in your similar body."
"This shows that your chokers have some kind of supernatural ability."
"Now, you show me this power."
Gulu secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, the master does not intend to disembowel it for the time being, but just let it show its skills.
Gulu got out from the crack in the rock, twisted his neck, and moved his limbs.
Fully prepared for the warm-up, this skinny monster suddenly jumped up, dashed forward 60 feet at a speed that made Joan's eyes dizzy, and then sprinted back at an even faster speed.
A very simple turn-back run, but it showed amazing explosive power and braking ability that violated the law of inertia.
Seeing it in his eyes, Qiao An couldn't help but gasp.
If Gulu had used this perverted acceleration skill when he attacked Audrey, he might not have had time to rescue her.
When Gulu was running back and forth, Joan noticed magic waves emerging from its body.
While Gulu was running, the distribution probability of the magic net at the place where he passed obviously changed.
These signs indicate that Gulu just used some kind of supernatural ability to improve his explosive power.
Comparing the magic imprint analyzed from the corpse of the choker, Joan can now draw an inference.
The supernatural ability of the choker is mainly reflected in instant acceleration.
If you compare it with spells, this ability is very similar to the third-level "speeding spell".
Joan turned around and looked at the glowing mark that appeared above the choker's corpse again.
The Arcane Library of Midgard University has a collection of 3-ring "Speed" scrolls.
Although Joan hadn't learned this spell yet, he believed that the spell configuration of the "acceleration spell" must be very similar to the imprint fragments he saw in front of him.
Unfortunately, even with the No. 4 rune and "blood interpretation", Joan still couldn't fully analyze the magic imprint of the choker.
This is mainly because the magic power level of "Blood Interpretation" is too low to support overly complex calculations.
Joan couldn't help but come up with an idea.
If the "Blood Interpretation" is optimized and modified to give it a higher level of magic power, such as upgrading to the third ring or higher, or improving it to a "mythical spell", it is possible to analyze the complete magic power imprint.
The question is, what's the use of parsing it out?
The "Magic Mark" cannot work alone, it must be combined with the unique physiological structure of the choker to exert its acceleration effect.
After all, Joan is not a choke monster, and it's useless to get a complete magic mark.
Is that true?
That's not necessarily true.
Joan's eyes flickered, as if there were two blazing flames burning deep in his pupils.
It doesn't matter if it's not a choker, he has a strange bloodline, and he can use the "transformation technique" to become a choker.
Under normal circumstances, the "transformation technique" can only change the body structure on a macro scale, so after the transformation, the creature type of the caster will not change, and it will still be human.
Only the transformation ability acting on the cellular level can completely change a person's biological type.
To reach this level, at least the 4th ring "Transformation" is required.
However, even Transfiguration does not grant the caster the supernatural powers of a new form.
If you want to obtain the supernatural ability of the new form, in addition to the deformation at the micro level, you must perfectly reproduce the blood power and magic imprint of the new form.
What kind of transformation spell can achieve this level of meticulousness and 100% reproduction?
Of course, there is only the 9-level arcane "shape change", the strongest transformation spell below legend.
An arcane spellcaster usually gains the supernatural ability of a new form only after mastering the 9th-level "shape change".
It's just too far away.
There are many spellcasters in the world, but how many of them can learn 9-level spells?
Joan felt that he didn't need to wait that long.
If his idea can be realized, with the help of the upgraded "blood interpretation" and the powerful No. 4 rune, it is possible to strip the magic imprint in the living body and transcribe it into his spell book.
This kind of magic imprint cannot be used as conveniently as casting a spell.
However, it can be used in conjunction with polymorph spells.
For example, first use "transfiguration" to change into the form of a choke monster, and then engrave the corresponding magic imprint on itself. With all the "hardware" and "software", you can freely display the supernatural acceleration ability that Gulu just demonstrated.
