Chapter 91 From Mediocrity to Genius

Joan dipped in the ink, and started another section to record the second and most basic topic, learning and researching spells.

Regardless of the 2nd-level spells that cannot be learned temporarily, there is a new spell in Joan's spell book that he can learn now-1st-level burning hand. In addition to learning new spells, Joan also plans to conduct in-depth research on the spells he has mastered in two ways. These two ideas are derived from his professional specialty of the mythical archmage, one is "energy replacement", and the other is "mythical spellcasting".

Spells with fire, freezing, electric shock, and acid attributes can all try to perform "energy replacement", such as freezing rays, electric claws, and burning hands. This research can greatly expand the scope of application of spells.

Compared with "energy replacement", the development of "mythical spells" is much more complicated. Joan has no idea yet, and he doesn't even know which spells are more valuable for development. He can only select a few of the most commonly used spells as candidates. Carry out research, and further analyze which spells are more valuable for improvement during the development process, and which ones are not worth the effort, so as to make more targeted screening.

The third topic Joan listed in his notebook was "trying to make magic tools", including but not limited to magic potions, weapons, and wonders.

As a mage, you can't just be satisfied with studying spells in your study from morning to night, otherwise, the joy of seeking knowledge will soon be exhausted in the hard study day after day, and be replaced by confusion and boredom. Therefore, it is necessary to go out of the study from time to time to "apply what you have learned". The sense of accomplishment obtained through the application of knowledge can not only provide motivation for boring work, but also point out a clear research direction for mages, so as to avoid getting lost in the ocean of knowledge, and making magic items is the best way for mages to apply what they have learned.

Joan listed three ideas for making magic tools in his notebook.

First of all, we must ensure that the income and expenditure are balanced. It is best to sell the work and recover the production cost. Making magic tools is not just about knowing how to cast spells, but also consumes a lot of expensive materials. This investment is no small matter for Joan who is not rich.

Under the premise of ensuring a balance of income and expenditure, Joan also wants to make as much money as possible by manufacturing magic tools, purchase research equipment, and purchase spell-casting materials. If a mage wants to achieve success, it is not enough to have a smart mind, but also to have enough money to "spend". Magic research can be said to be a waste of money everywhere. How to stand out.

In the end, if Goddess of Destiny blessed him and made a fortune by selling homemade magic tools, Joan would also like to create a handy enchanted weapon for himself.

When people think of mage weapons, they often think of wands, staves, and staffs, equipment that can unleash magic with a simple wave. It's a pity that this is just the imagination of laymen, who don't know how much energy and money it takes to make such magic items. With Joan's current mage level, he can barely try to make the lowest level of magic wands. However, his financial resources are far from mana, and he can't even afford the cost of materials required to make the lowest level of magic wands. Instead of thinking about those things that are out of reach, it is more practical to upgrade your handy dagger into an enchanted weapon.

After Joan finished writing these schedules, it was getting late, so she closed the notebook, washed up and went to bed.

Waking up the next morning, Joan first went to visit her grandfather, Jamie and Gray, and then went back to her hut, opened the schedule notes, and started a new day of work.

Joan took off the "sports belt" first, and used the No. 4 rune to analyze the spells used to make the belt, and successfully analyzed three second-level spells, the strength of the cow, the grace of the cat, and the tenacity of the bear, and copied them one by one in the spell on the book. After these two days of practical use, Joan has a deeper understanding of the No. 4 rune, and the efficiency of analyzing spells and incantations has also increased. While it was still early, I also analyzed the "Magic Hat" and "Human Face Shield" by the way.

As Joan expected, the magic hat used three 0-ring tricks in its manufacture, namely ghost sound, flash and magic trick.

"Phantom sound" can create illusory sounds, such as a piece of music, or the sound of a group of people talking.

"Flash" is similar to "Light", except that instead of the long-lasting soft light used for lighting, it releases a more intense short-term glare, which can dazzle creatures caught off guard by the strong light stimulation.

The "magic trick" is the most complex and versatile of all 0-level tricks, such as creating a spark that can be used to light a campfire, causing a gust of wind to blow out a candle or torch, making a piece of clothing dirty or instantly Restoring cleaning, making a basin of water immediately cold or warm, leaving a special mark on the surface of an object, or making a paper crane flap its wings and fly in the air... Most of the charlatans performing "magic" on the street, It's nothing more than relying on this little "magic trick" to make a living.

Joan transcribed the three tricks obtained by analyzing the "Magic Hat" into the spell book one by one. As for the "human face shield", the analyzed spell is also a "magic trick", nothing new, but fortunately, this product is a bonus for buying a "magic hat", so it is not a disadvantage.

Joan spent the whole day analyzing and transcribing 3 second-level spells and 3 zero-level tricks. Let go of the second-level spells first, and the zero-level tricks will be the focus of future study.

In the following days, except for going to the back mountain to visit grandpa, Jamie and Gray after dinner every day, Joan almost spent the rest of his time studying spells, to the point where he forgot to sleep and eat. With an intelligence as high as 22 and unparalleled hard work, it took only five days for Joan to master the "magic trick", "flash", "phantom sound" and "burning hand".

In the blink of an eye, it has been a week since Joan returned to Delin Town. When he got up this morning to prepare his spells, Joan found that he had one more level 1 spell slot than usual. He had experienced a similar experience before, and soon realized Now that I have been promoted to a level 2 mage, I can't help but be overjoyed - I have been promoted to two levels in just three months, such a speed of progress can only be described as "genius"!

When he took the entrance test at Port Leiden three months ago, Joan was just a mage apprentice with mediocre talent in the eyes of the examiner, and once persuaded him to give up the mage profession and take the path of a warlock. However, who would have expected that in just three months, this country boy would undergo a drastic change, from a mediocre person to a genius mage?

Even Joan himself felt a little unreal in retrospect.
