Chapter 303 Classification of Mages

Seeing that everyone had accepted his statement, the dean continued his lecture: "First of all, before you learn magic, you must first understand the classification of mages, so that you can choose the path you want to take in the future."

"Mages can be roughly divided into two categories: ancient mages and modern mages. There is also an important branch, that is, alchemists. Alchemists are regardless of ancient or modern times, because they value foreign objects and the use of various materials. ”

The dean doesn't need to prepare lesson plans at all, and his understanding of mages is far beyond what they can match.

"The ancient mages are in the exploration period of mages. Their research direction is the human being. They believe that the strength of the human being is the most important. Therefore, their most important thing is to practice, use meditation to continuously strengthen their spirit, and then let You can use your own spiritual power and magic power to perform magic."

"For example, those who chant spells and use magic, and those who use pure spiritual power to cast spells, these are all ancient mages. Generally speaking, apart from spiritual mages, ancient mages are all elemental mages. There are also some special ones Conjurer."

The dean continued to explain: "Then modern mages are mages who pay more attention to combat effectiveness than self-cultivation. For example, a rune mage constructs his own spiritual power into runes, and then merges them into special magic runes. The combat effectiveness can be said to be better than Ancient mages were much more powerful, but because their mental power was restrained, they had much fewer means.”

"There are also some formation mages who use magic talismans and magic arrays, as well as some battle mages who use magic to strengthen themselves. These can all be counted in this category."

"The main performance of modern mages is that they have strong combat power, are more professional in learning knowledge, and are faster in shaping. However, it is much more difficult to climb to a higher level than ancient mages."

A student below suddenly asked loudly: "What about the puppet master? Who is the most powerful puppet master in our kingdom?"

The dean nodded slightly: "The golem master is a branch of the alchemist. As mentioned before, the alchemist mainly develops foreign objects. In the past, he specialized in enchanting and creating magic items. At first, the alchemist had little combat power. He mainly relies on potions and some magic items to fight, and is a kind of auxiliary mage. "

"Later, our mages in the Kingdom of Rusiyala learned about the production of golems from the outside world, so they continued to deepen their research and used golems to form powerful combat capabilities. This is how this profession was formed."

"The disadvantage of the golem is that the mage himself is not strong enough and the body is fragile. The advantage is that as long as there are materials, the golem master can exert power far beyond other mages. And the golem can be passed down from generation to generation."

Another student stood up and asked: "So, Dean, what are the categories of the very famous transformation mages and necromancers?"

At this time, the dean, who had always been calm, frowned. The dean soon relaxed: "Maybe some people have heard of the Transformation Mage of the Evil Forest and the Necromancer of the Death Plain. But what I want to say is that they are all magicians and do not belong to orthodox mages. It’s some external heresy.”

"Since someone asked, let me tell you. The so-called transformation mages are magicians who use some monsters or other creatures or even dead objects to transform themselves. They will transform themselves into complete monsters."

"In a short period of time, they can achieve huge improvements, but such people will eventually die or become madmen due to the conflict between their various powers, and they are not valued by us."

"As for those necromancers, they use the power of death from the underworld. This power is not ordinary magic and has a great impact on themselves. People who are immersed in the magic of death for a long time will gradually become corrupted themselves. The flesh and blood dries up and eventually becomes a living undead."

Many people below were trembling with fear, and many people did not know the terrifying effects brought by these magicians. Seeing the people below like this, the dean flashed a smile of satisfaction.

What he didn't say was that warlocks and necromancers were really quick to gain power, and the power they gained was also very powerful. Many people go down such evil paths just to pursue power. Fortunately, the nobles of the royal capital have not yet given up everything for power.

"You have to know that magicians are wanted across the continent. Anyone who practices these evil arts will not have a good ending as long as they dare to come out. Therefore, don't think about this kind of thing."

The students nodded repeatedly. Being wanted by the entire continent was not a good thing. People who were originally interested in transformation mages and necromancers no longer dare to study this aspect further.

"Dean, I heard that those who believe in gods can also use spells. What kind of mage are they?"

The dean shook his head and said: "They are not mages at all, because the power they use is not their own, but comes from the gods they believe in. These people can be called magicians and priests."

"Then what's the difference between a divine magician and a priest?"

The dean thought for a while and then said: "Actually, there are some differences between magicians and priests. Magicians do not need any external preparations. They usually use their own beliefs to worship the gods, and when needed, they use their own The more devout your faith is, the more powerful it will be.”

"But these people cannot transcend. Without the power of gods, they are just like ordinary people. But with the power of gods, they can have many very strange abilities."

"As for sacrifices, they usually believe in their own gods, but they cannot guide the power of gods when fighting. What they need is to please their gods through some sacrificial items, and then obtain the blessings of gods."

"They have a certain power, but this power is too advanced, and it is not cultivated by themselves, so it is very difficult to control. If you want to use it, you need to perform some ritual sacrifices, and even some of them need certain casting media, which consumes a lot. But these sacrifices are very dangerous."

"Once in a war, a group of priests sacrificed their lives, and the huge flames that resulted burned a city completely. This is the power of priests." The dean's eyes were also a little frightened.

The students below were talking about it. Most people had never even heard of this kind of sacrifice. The dean was equivalent to opening another door for them, allowing them to see a wider world.
