Chapter 389 Three Elements of Spell

"Magic is the origin of all magic. Without magic, magic is like water without roots, and there is no way to talk about it."

There was a rare seriousness on the face of Cui Xi who was giving the lecture. Even though she was only a third-ring mage, everyone could see that her attitude towards magic was serious and rigorous.

Although the direction is a bit different from other methods.

"The acquisition of magic power comes from meditation, meditating on the inner world and communicating with all things in the outside world."

"This is a matter of time and again. It depends not only on a person's talent, but also on the method of meditation and the content of the visualization."

"Generally speaking, after the first meditation is successful and the first ray of magic is generated in the body, you can be called a magic apprentice."

"The magic power of a magic apprentice is only enough to perform zero-level magic. You should understand that there are spells from level one to level nine, and even legendary spells above them. These all require different levels of magic power as support. If there is not enough magic power, it is absolutely impossible. Casting high-level spells."

"When the quality and quantity of magic power reach a certain level, the magic apprentice can officially become a first-level mage. This process will not be too slow and can be done in about a week."

At this point, Tang Sen heard Barn make a puff sound, causing everyone to look at him involuntarily.

He was making a fire and boiling water while handling dry food. He kept talking and said, "A week? That's your experience, Cui Xi."

"I know a lot of magic apprentices. Usually, it takes them several years to be able to cast the simplest spell. And more people may spend their whole life just being a magician. .”

"Really?" Cui Xi looked puzzled: "Are those magic apprentices lazy?"

Baan sneered again and said: "Who doesn't want to be a spell caster? But there are only a few talented people after all. The meditation you mentioned is enough to block 99% of people. Most people It is simply impossible to sense the existence of magic power."

Tang Sen could see that Barn seemed to have tried to become a spell caster. Although he was a dwarf, this was not surprising. After all, who could refuse spells?

Even among the ogres and goblins, there are spellcasters.

Cui Xi nodded suddenly, but did not express any opinions on these. She never felt that her talents were very good, let alone compare herself with those who were worse than herself to gain a sense of superiority.

"In short, with magic, there are spells, but magic alone is not enough."

Cui Xi continued to explain: "The second element is knowledge."

"Only knowledge is the path to heaven for a mage." Cui Xi paused and said, "This is what my teacher often talks about."

"How a spell works, what its principles are, what gestures and structures are needed to convert magic power into real power in the magic network, these are all knowledge that a spell caster must master."

"Of course, knowledge is not just that. As a mage, you also need to learn the laws of all things. If you don't know what the nature of burning is, then it is impossible to know what kind of existence flame is, let alone release any flames. Related spells."

"If you don't know why water always flows downward, why it rains, and why it freezes, then you can't cast this type of spell."

"Of course, these are just the knowledge of the evocation system. If you want to master the necromancy system, you need to at least know the body structure of living things, how life exists, and what death is."

"All spells are related to the underlying rules of this world. This is what teachers often say. The more knowledge a mage knows, the more subtle and powerful the spells he releases will naturally become."

Tang Sen nodded, roughly understanding what Cui Xi meant.

To a certain extent, the magic of this world is similar to science. They are both studying the theorems of the world and studying those essential things.

"The third point is also the last element in casting a spell." Trish continued: "Imagination."

"If magic is the soil of a spell, and knowledge is the foundation of a spell, then imagination is the external appearance of the spell. This kind of imagination is not arbitrary, but grows out of the foundation of knowledge with extreme rigor. s things."

"My teacher said that imagination determines the upper limit of a spell caster. Of course, for spell casters below Legend, the most important role of imagination is probably to construct magic structures."

Cui Xi's slender palm touched the air slightly, and a simple geometric body composed of magic appeared in the air.

"This is the magical structure of the mage's hand. You must present it very accurately in your mind without any deviation before you can successfully cast it."

"I have heard of many cases where many spellcasters cast unexpected spells due to slight deviations in their imagined structures when casting high-level spells, leading to various tragedies including but not Limited to madness, death and even mental reversal."

Tang Sen looked at the magic structure thoughtfully.

Therefore, imagination, for spellcasters, is more like the ability to construct complex geometric bodies in their own minds, just like the thinking required when doing mathematical geometry.

Of course, Tang Sen could not understand the role of imagination required by Trixi's teacher to be a legendary spellcaster.

The magic in the world of Faerûn has some similarities with the magic in the Harry Potter world studied by Townsend. For example, both require magic to drive, and both use magic to change reality. However, in essence, they are completely different. .

If we want to classify it, the magic in the world of Faerûn is more like science, rigorous and scientific. We must accumulate knowledge step by step and understand the nature and phenomenon of spells. The caster, or at least the mage, does not have any knowledge. Shortcut.

The magic in the Harry Potter world is closer to the blood warlocks of this world.

But the difference is that although the warlocks in this world also rely on the power of blood to cast spells, they still rely on the magic network system, which is equally rigorous and scientific.

The magic in the world of Harry Potter and the way it is researched are even more unreasonable and unreasonable.

Tang Sen recalled it and felt that the magic of that world had a certain "I'm thinking" feeling.

Take the light spell as an example. The light spell in this world is a zero-ring trick. Mages study light, understand light, and imitate the existence of light through magic to construct a rigorous spell structure, and then use this structure to change reality. .

As for the "fluorescence flicker" that Tang Sen has mastered, the original intention of the research is probably - I want to have light.

Of course, this is a relatively superficial metaphor. Fluorescent flashing also has its own unique magic operation and distance, but its essence is not the understanding of the world, but an extension of one's own soul. The magic operation is only to accurately express the power of the soul.

"It seems that learning the magic of this world is a long process."
