Chapter 1336 Spell Design, the End of the Magic Network
Of course, being confident does not mean that there is no need to prepare anything. He still brought a few spell notes to the most commonly used spell laboratory.
I think this place was assigned to him by the Tower of Time when he became an official mage. This place has witnessed his growth process along the way.
Spreading out his notes, Xia Duo had already prepared the spells required for the upgrade in detail before today. All he had to do now was to make a surprise attack and complete the last part.
According to the consistent upgrade tradition, his choice this time is undoubtedly [Mage Armor], a very familiar protective spell.
He has almost completed all the work of upgrading the element units in the force field construction part of its core function. Now what is left is the upgrading work of some supporting element units to make them worthy of the energy level of the core function of the spell.
If that's all, then maybe a high-level mage can complete it. The real difficulty lies in the stability of such a high-level energy circuit.
It's similar to the idea that the weak points of strong electricity on the earth need to be separated, or that a small aircraft cannot become a large aircraft when enlarged in proportion.
But because the spell structure is generally classified as a system, the actual difficulty of spell design is not necessarily more difficult than the multi-disciplinary industrial design on earth.
If you master more fundamental laws, you can carry out purely theoretical design.
At present, Netheril's exploration of the principle laws, including Shado's, is mainly focused on the transformation laws of the single strings of the Magic Network.
When designing spells, this rule helps to conduct linear deductions. If one more thread is added, the difficulty will rise sharply.
When it comes to spells, it usually means that the function of the spell is very single. It is similar to ultra-complex spells like Elf Mystery, which even arcanists find difficult to master.
Of course, since spells have both theoretical and practical characteristics, during the long-term exposure to various spell levels and transformations, Xia Duo still understood many laws that transcend linearity.
However, the time in the past has been full, and he has not been able to explore in depth, and in the future that has been planned, Xia Duo is not prepared to conduct too much basic research.
It is currently in the golden stage of development. Simply using existing magic to complete various application optimizations is enough to gain a greater advantage in international competition.
As for going one step further, by then there will be a large number of spellcasters trained by the academy, and it will be very easy to select a group of outstanding players who are willing to conduct basic research.
However, the future is changing rapidly, and it is difficult for Xia Duo to guarantee that the future will go exactly as he planned. Even now, he is not sure whether he will immediately change his plan after becoming a Grand Arcanist.
He had known for a long time that the Grand Arcanist had exhausted the magic network, but he had not personally experienced how to exhaust it, and could not appreciate the details.
He only heard some relatively one-sided descriptions from his exchanges with Iolum and Congenio, and combined with some information obtained from the projection plane, he came to that conclusion——
The magic network only reaches the tenth level.
After the Grand Arcanist, it is difficult to upgrade!
For example, there is no difference in the level of contact between Iolum and Congenio, the two long-established great arcanists, and Skoum and Hawke, who have just achieved success not long ago. .
This is also the fundamental reason why the Grand Arcanist has not been divided into high-level and intermediate-level in the future. Apart from the small number of people, it is because everyone is the same.
The only difference between different Grand Arcanists is the amount of knowledge.
Xia Duo still had some expectations for that state, but at the same time, he was also somewhat resistant and didn't want to experience the feeling of having no way forward.
Although he knew that what he thought of as magic was not the same as magic nets or spells, he still couldn't help but think about it.
Perhaps he was influenced by Iolum and Congenio, or perhaps he still had some dark thoughts in his subconscious that he did not dare to face.
But no matter what, you have to become a Grand Arcanist first!
…
After letting his mind wander for a while, Xia Duo quickly focused on the equivalent 10-level spell required to complete the last ring-raising trial.
Until noon, Niya asked him to have lunch together, but he refused. He just ate a few steamed buns made with Tianjie wheat to restore his body and spirit to the best condition, and then continued to work. middle.
In the evening, Niya called again, and this time, Sha Duo did not refuse, because the spell he needed had been designed and only the final test was left.
For Xia Duo, testing often also means success!
…
After dinner, Xia Duo came to the magic laboratory again. This time he was not just "retreating" like during the day, he was going to "practice"!
Opening the spell notebook to the page that recorded the arcane geometric figures of the upgraded spell, Shado cast another spell to levitate the spell book in front of him, right in front of his face.
Then he started to cast the spell according to the instructions in the spell book!
——Supporting element unit·Inner plane link, elemental energy guidance
——Support element unit·Energy cache
——Supporting element unit·branching, coordination, guidance, and stabilization
——Core element unit·Force field generation
——Core element unit·Force field shaping
——Core element unit·Ontological homology
——Supporting element unit·Energy buffer
…
——Support element unit·Concussion elimination
——Support element unit·limited opening and closing
…
As the spell casting progressed to the end, layers of diamond-shaped force fields like fine fish scales suddenly appeared all over Sha Duo.
The direction of the inertial force in these independent rhombus force fields does not completely point outward, but has a certain deflection angle.
Even if it is hit by extremely penetrating arrows or bullets that exceed the force field protection limit, it will not be penetrated layer by layer and hit the main body directly.
Of course, the effect of [Mage Armor] on energy protection is very limited. Even at the 10th level, it is not as effective as the normal 6th level [Protection from Energy Damage] and [Resistance to Energy Damage].
In fact, this spell is just a special spell designed purely for upgrading, and its practical value is almost zero.
Xia Duo stretched his arms forward. The mage armor that was synchronized with the main body still maintained a good protective effect. It did not say that if the hand was stretched out, it would not be protected.
But at this moment, he didn't have much thought to carefully test the various effects of this [Mage Armor]. Now his mind was completely occupied by the real scene of the magic network.
The ten-layer structure is nested layer by layer and closely connected, as if it were a whole. The deeper it goes, Xia Duo can no longer feel the unfinished feeling that he could always feel before.
The magic network has indeed reached its limit!
