Lord of Arcane

Chapter 29 The Three Elements of Spellcasting

During this week, Xia Duo finished the Magic Enlightenment class and compiled a set of simple Nise dictionary, which he could read by himself.

Once a day to ask questions, Shado wasted no time, once was given to Dean in exchange for him reading Nether words for Shado after dinner, and the other four were traded with Edrich, for a total of 40 coins. gold.

But the 40 gold coins just passed through Shado's hand and quickly left him——

Two new blank notebooks (30 gp), two vials of ink (6 gp), purchased from Edrich.

A transcribed Biography of Archmage Darthrael (4 gp), purchased from Dean.

Now the things that Shado should carry every day are these:
4 notebooks, 34 pieces of parchment, wooden wine glasses, 1 bottle of ink, quill pen.

The weight is not light, but these are Shado's core assets, and he would rather carry them with him every day.It's not that Xia Duo never thought of putting a lock on the door of the dormitory, but only when he asked Audrey did he know that the most common lock costs 20 gold coins.

And this kind of lock can even be opened with grass stems, of course there are more advanced ones, but the price is also higher.

Xia Duo temporarily dismissed the idea of ​​buying a lock. Perhaps it would not be too late to consider the issue of locks until the day when his belongings exceeded his body's load.

……

A week has passed, and the Magic Enlightenment class is over, and it will not be repeated. If you want to remediate or listen again, you need to pay a certain price.

For this course, Xia Duo's acceptance level is higher than that of the other seven or eight apprentices. After all, he is an adult and has his own logic and cognitive system. He also has systematic skills for summarizing and summarizing knowledge.

In this respect, an adult Earthman is obviously better than those Netherites who are called adults but are only fifteen or sixteen years old.

In the new week, Xia Duo chose the course "An Overview of Magic of the Ring 0", and he was still teaching a formal apprentice. So far, Xia Duo still doesn't know how many formal wizards there are in the Mage Tower. Garner's recommendation chose this course.

After the enlightenment class, Xia Duo already had a more intuitive understanding of Nise's magic, which was different from the game data before the time-travel. The real Faerun's spell casting is also more real.

Any spellcaster casts a spell through the magic net, the difference is that some spellcasters only need to know the spell effect to make the magic net respond autonomously, while some spellcasters must control the magic net to form the spell effect.

The bard Muyan that Shado met before is a typical example of the former, while the mage or arcanist is the latter.

The way to control the magic net is the knowledge in the magician's spellcasting elements, and the other two elements are concentration and magic net.

As long as these three elements are met, even a goblin in the wilderness can become a mage.

As for the level of the spell, it is related to the difficulty of controlling the magic net.

The higher the difficulty, the higher the level of natural spells, and the Nise people are so simple!Even if a certain level of spell can destroy the world once it is cast, it is only one level.

But generally speaking, this does not happen, and many mages are accustomed to hiding the spells they have discovered or created. The truly common spells have already formed a conventional standard in the nearly thousand years since the Nether nation was founded.

Even if a mage claims to have lowered the casting standard of the 3rd-level spell [Fireball] to an apprentice's level, and even actually found a few apprentices to demonstrate, as long as most apprentices can't do it, then [Fireball] Spell] is still only called a 3rd-level spell.

The reason why Shado chose this "Level 0 Spell Overview" was not only because it was recommended by Garner, who taught the Magic Enlightenment class before, but another very important reason was that this class was the most basic.

Compared with directly learning a specific spell, Xia Duo wanted to accept more of the Netherites' overall understanding of magic, so he bought the "Biography of the Archmage Darth Riel" from Dean, not just for learning words. .

This seems to be a process of assimilation, but from another point of view, isn't it the best performance to follow the customs of the countryside, and Xia Duo has a faint idea in his heart, that is to spread civilization.

Netheril seems to have been established for nearly a thousand years, but how much cultural and historical heritage can a country developed from a few small fishing villages have?I don't know how much influence from elves for hundreds of years. Since it can be influenced by elves, why can't it be influenced by Shado?

It is inevitable to be lonely in another world alone, so isn't it a pleasure to create a group of people in person?

It's just that this kind of thinking can only be deeply hidden in Shado's brain before it can really gain a foothold.

……

a new day.

The course "Overview of Level 0 Spells" was taught by the official apprentice Colin, but when it was time for the class, Xia Duo realized that the course had been open for a week.

That is to say, most of the apprentices who joined the Mage Tower a week ago took this class, and because Xia Duo chose the Enlightenment class, he was already seven classes behind them.

And the seven or eight new apprentices who took the initiation class with Xia Duo were also a little confused.

But Colin will not start from the beginning for these few people, but will continue to listen to the progress of last week.

Xia Duo was a little annoyed, but there was nothing he could do about it. The biggest trouble right now was that those in front didn't listen, and those in the back probably couldn't keep up. It was a vicious circle, one step behind, one step behind.

"The overview of spells in the first stage has been discussed. Newcomers can borrow notes from others, and of course they can come to me for 20 gold coins each time."

Colin's words made several new apprentices very dissatisfied, but Xia Duo was quite happy. In addition to the krypton gold tuition, what Colin meant was that what he was going to talk about today has nothing to do with last week's. .

In this way, Shado just missed the part of the spell overview, but the new content will not be missed.

Sure enough, Colin went on to introduce this week's course, "This week I will teach [Reading Magic], and 0-level spell identification, everyone pay attention to taking notes, if you miss it, the old rule is 20 gold coins once."

【Reading Magic】? !

Xia Duo was very happy. This 0-level magic can be said to be the starting point and cornerstone of the entire path of the mage. Without [reading magic], even spell scrolls cannot be read and understood, let alone more complicated spell books.

Or to be more precise, the key to distinguishing a mage (quasi mage also counts) from an ordinary person lies in this [reading magic].

There are many ordinary people in Savile Town who can cast 0-level magic, but they can't [read magic], so they are not considered mages, not even apprentices.

Strictly speaking, the newly joined apprentices such as Xia Duo were not real apprentices either.

The watershed is on the [Reading Magic] of this 0 ring.

Moreover, [Reading Magic] is also the beginning of understanding magic and deconstructing the magic net, otherwise it will be like a bard, knowing what it is and not knowing why.

Obviously, Xia Duo, who likes to get to the bottom of things, will not let this magic go, and it has long been on his must-learn list.

And now Colin is willing to teach [Reading Magic] for free, which made Xia Duo immediately prick up his ears, get up to 120 points, and focus on listening to the lecture.
