Chapter 31 Magical Talent
If you want to become a magician, you must have magic talent.
Magic talent not only requires that the mental power is naturally higher than that of ordinary people, but also requires good elemental affinity, and magic resistance must also meet the requirements.
Having mental power higher than that of ordinary people is a prerequisite, otherwise you will have a splitting headache when meditating, not only will it not increase your mental power, but it will also cause damage to your soul, becoming weaker and weaker, and in severe cases, you will go crazy or even die.
If the mental power is not up to standard, you can only take some precious magic potions to increase your mental power to a suitable level.
The price of potions to increase mental power is extremely high, especially for ordinary people, which costs at least several thousand gold coins. Even if potions are used, barely qualified apprentices will basically not have much achievement in magic.
Only wealthy nobles who like magic from the bottom of their hearts can buy such potions and barely become magic apprentices.
For small and medium nobles, instead of spending a lot of money to become a weak magic apprentice, it is better to spend the same gold coins to buy some powerful enchanted weapons and take the path of a warrior.
It is easier for warriors to advance than magicians.
Almost everyone has the talent to practice breathing techniques. As long as the body is not defective, one can embark on the path of a warrior.
Even those with poor physical talents can advance to a professional after decades of persistent practice of breathing techniques.
The combat effectiveness of a seventh-level warrior is better than that of most fourth-ring magicians. The resources consumed to train a seventh-level warrior are less than those of a fourth-ring magician.
After the mental power reaches the standard, the next step is to have a better elemental intimacy.
Elemental intimacy is related to the effect of meditation. Even if the mental power reaches the standard, the effect of meditation is particularly poor if the elemental intimacy is insufficient.
Richard meditated for more than a month before he succeeded in meditation for the first time and just became a primary magic apprentice. His elemental intimacy is slightly insufficient and can barely reach the medium level.
In addition, magic resistance is also a very critical talent, which is related to the magician's ability to bear elemental damage.
People with low magic resistance have greater difficulty in releasing magic, and such people are not suitable for the path of magicians.
After successfully entering meditation, the attribute panel sent another prompt.
Richard Harland
Strength: 10.7
Agility: 2.9
Stamina: 4.2
Spirit: 10.3
Mad Lion Legion Breathing: Level 5 (521/20000)
Grant Kingdom Basic Swordsmanship: Level 4 (Extreme)
Archery: Level 4 (789/10000)
Riding: Level 4 (Extreme)
Northern Legion Fighting: Level 4 (230/1000)
Highland Meditation: Level 1 (6/1000)
Experience: 2900
Richard's attributes changed again. Spirit increased by 1 point, strength, agility, and stamina did not change, and a new skill, Highland Meditation, was added.
Finding that there was still experience left, Richard immediately added 1,000 experience points to the Highland Meditation skill, raising this skill to level 2.
After the meditation skill was raised to level 2, Richard was in a trance. Then he felt severely tired. He soon fell asleep. Fortunately, it was night, otherwise he might have alarmed the guards and caused some gossip in the army.
Early the next morning, Richard's spirit had recovered. He opened the attribute panel. He found that his mental power had increased by 1 point and his experience had decreased by 1,000.
Although he had not yet recorded a spell in his mind, Richard was already an intermediate magic apprentice in terms of the meditation level.
Normally, to become a magic apprentice, the innate mental power must reach about 4 points.
The mental power of an intermediate magic apprentice is generally 6 points, and even an advanced first-ring magician has a mental power of about 9 points.
Richard's mental power is twice that of a normal magic apprentice, and is even better than that of a first-ring magician.
The mental power of 11.3 is equivalent to that of an ordinary second-ring magician.
The stronger the mental power, the greater the magic power, and the stronger the power given to the spell.
In this respect, Richard undoubtedly has excellent talent.
The threshold for learning magic is very high. Not only do you need to learn various basic subjects, but you also need a regular magic laboratory.
For high-level magicians, they need to build a magic tower to study magic. Only when all conditions are met can the magic level be improved.
To study magic systematically, you need to master a lot of knowledge, including magic philosophy, magic history, plane biology, plane geography, advanced algebra, world principles, magic pattern science, material science, plane geometry, space geometry, race history, Warcraft life analysis and other subjects.
To study pharmacy, magic array, and alchemy, you need more professional knowledge, and as your knowledge deepens, it will continue to be refined, and the learning process will run through the entire magic career.
Fortunately, Richard went to college in his previous life, and the knowledge he once mastered was of great help to the study of magic.
Especially the courses of advanced mathematics, algebraic geometry, space geometry, and Newton's classical physics are also very important for magicians.
Thermodynamics, optics, electromagnetism, and even microscopic physics are all good for learning magic.
Richard's knowledge is even ahead of this era. Since the ancient wizards were expelled and the gods fell asleep, the magic civilization of the Dawn Plane has regressed greatly.
Wizards in ancient times mastered the power of rules and could fight against multi-dimensional gods. The powerful wizards at that time even had a star magic fleet. Now there is not even a floating city in the Dawn Plane.
Many new discoveries of magic are made by excavating ruins and magic archaeology.
Magicians in the Kingly Era developed almost from nothing.
Richard is now learning magic, but there is no one to exchange experience with. He learns spells completely from magic books, which can be called copycat.
Without a teacher to teach, he cannot learn magic systematically, and there is no top-down understanding of the subject of magic. The objective conditions for learning magic are not very mature.
All kinds of difficulties did not make Richard retreat. In the midst of stumbling, Richard bites the bullet and studies, just as hard as the college entrance examination in his previous life. He tirelessly learns new knowledge and combines old knowledge, and gradually has his own understanding of magic.
Human spiritual power comes from the power of the soul, and the root of magic is the magic factor.
The combination of magic factor and soul is magic.
Warriors practice breathing to combine the body with the magic factor. Magicians practice meditation to combine the soul with the magic factor.
Although the soul is nurtured by the body, the power contained in the rules is stronger than the physical strength.
Therefore, the power displayed by the magician is better than that of the warrior.
The first step in learning meditation is to open the mental space. The size of the mental space is proportional to the strength of the mental power.
The stronger the mental power, the larger and stronger the space.
The magicians of the Dawn Continent do not need to chant or cast spells to release magic.
By activating the spell inscriptions outlined in the mental space and investing mental power, you can directly affect the magic factor of the material world and release spells.
The more complex the magic inscriptions engraved in the mental space, the more powerful the spell.
There is no magic net in this plane, so there is naturally no limit on the spell position. As long as your mental power is strong enough, you can release spells continuously.
The strength of the spell is not only related to the spell level, but also to the strength of the mental power invested by the magician.
A nine-ring magician can release an apprentice-level zero-ring trick, and as long as the mental strength invested is strong, it can be more powerful than the six-ring magic released by a six-ring magician.
A low-level magician with strong mental power can often defeat a higher-level opponent.
