Lord of Arcane

Chapter 45 New Spells Level 0 Mastery

After the meal and before the tactics class, Xia Duo hurriedly went to the material application office to exchange two study scrolls. Considering that he had exchanged attack spells before, this time Xia Duo chose [Phantom Sound] and [Mage's Hand]. Functional spells.

An attack spell is enough to have [Acid Splash], but Shado doesn't think that he can rely on some apprentice spells to gallop on the battlefield.

Choosing functional spells is just to give him more choices when facing danger. In the final analysis, he still has to survive this wave of orcs, and the rest are secondary.

He had no idea of ​​​​working for Saville at all, but forced by the situation, he had to.

In the tactics class, Xia Duo still chose the spell practice room from the previous two days. This time, the tactics class only taught some army passwords and the use of standard weapons.

After the class, the formal apprentice was given a one-handed sword, a small hand crossbow, and 6 crossbow arrows. The moment he got the weapon, Xia Duo realized that the battle was coming soon.

Just facing the powerful orcs, Shado felt that these two weapons did not bring him much sense of security.

The other apprentices also seemed to understand the terrible fate they were about to face, and began to practice frantically one by one, whether it was magic or swordsmanship, or anything that would give them a sense of security.

Seeing this scene, Xia Duo couldn't help shaking his head, wondering why the Mage Tower didn't guide him well, do you really want these apprentices to die on the battlefield?

Can't figure it out, can't figure it out!
Xia Duo came to Netheril by accident from the earth. It was less than a year after the full calculation. He was still studying hard about everything in Netheril. Xia Duo was not able to go deep into the underlying logic of this humanistic nature.

However, no matter what others do, Shado always has his own goals, plans, and determination to act.

Practicing swordsmanship is not a good choice, and even Xia Duo is not ready to bring this one-handed sword to the battlefield, what else can you do other than being a burden?

The hand crossbow was not practiced either. There were only 6 arrows, and Xia Duo hooked the crossbow string with his fingers. It was almost certain that this hand crossbow could not cause fatal damage to the orcs.

Even for humans, it is difficult to kill in one hit.

Moreover, the effective damage distance of the hand crossbow is limited. When the situation calls for his damage, it is estimated that it is not far from death.

Only magic!

Only magic can turn the impossible into the possible and the corrupt into the miraculous.

Although Shado comes from the earth where technology is prevalent, he has been in Faerun for less than a year, but he has truly seen the magic of magic, and he is now full of confidence in magic.

Even if it's just some apprentice-level spells, maybe it can produce miraculous effects!
The time left in the tactics class is limited and must be used wisely!
Xia Duo hurriedly found an empty corner in the magic practice room and unfolded the study scrolls. During the period, some people wanted to get the opportunity to read the study scrolls, but Xia Duo refused one by one.

He was going to verify the conjecture from last night, so he did not transcribe it into his notes for the first time, but studied directly on the study scroll.

The first is the 0-level spell [phantom sound].

The effect of this spell is somewhat similar to the previously learned [Communication], the only difference is that the sound emitted by [Communication] can only be heard by the target, and it is farther away.

[Phantom Sound Technique] is to emit sound indiscriminately. According to the size of the sound, all people with hearing within a certain range can hear it.

Its spell structure is similar to an open arc, and it continues to dismantle the spell structure, and its essence is still the operation of entanglement, joining, bending, coiling, and superimposing the shallowest layer of the magic net.

In Xardo's previous research, what has already been cooked cannot be cooked.

Without practicing [phantom sound] immediately, Xia Duo put away his study scroll, opened the study scroll of [Mage's Hand], and studied it carefully.

It's still similar to those 0-level spells that I've studied before, and now Xia Duo is completely relieved——

Sure enough, all the 0th-level spells he knew had similar operations on the same level of the magic net, the only difference being that the spell structure above this underlying operation was different.

In other words, the spell structure is only a visual representation of the success of the spell, and the direct manipulation of the magic net is the true essence of magic.

Whether it is the entanglement, joining, bending, coiling, superimposing, or other more complicated operations of the magic net, Shado names it as the [element of magic].

Named in reference to the "Three Elements of Spellcasting".

Any magic is composed of several elements, but these operations are too complicated, and the mage also needs the spell structure to aid memory when casting spells.

This is like a house is composed of several building materials, but it is impossible for the builder to directly turn the building materials into a house, and a construction blueprint is needed to ensure that the whole construction process is not out of shape.

If a wizard can penetrate all the elements of a magic, then even without knowing the structure of the spell, he can unleash the magic.

Of course, this analogy is not appropriate, because all the elements actually already include the spell structure.

The elements of 0-level spells are relatively simple, only the shallowest operation of the magic net, and the spell structure above the elements is not complicated.

At least in Shado's view, it's not complicated.

At this point, Xia Duo can actually be regarded as proficient in 0-level spells (theory), and other 0-level spells that have not been exchanged, Xia Duo is confident that as long as he is given enough time, he can even "create" them by himself.

At this point, Xia Duo can also look forward to the higher-level scenery, and the official mage is not out of reach.

……

No one knows, just now, in this magic laboratory shared by many people at the same time, Xia Duo completed an important transformation - not in strength, but in vision, confidence, and even ambition.

The whole morning's work tempered his body, and the afternoon's research transformed his spirit, but no matter how he transformed, the orc tide was always unavoidable.

Xia Duo could only temporarily withdraw his thoughts and devote himself to spell practice.

The only 0-level spells he has mastered now are [Acid Splash] and [Brightness]. Although the other spells have been learned, they still lack a bit of enthusiasm to master them.

Casting spells in person can also be called magic skills, and naturally requires frequent practice.

What about machines?
For a time, Xia Duo's thoughts wandered again, and he thought of replacing the spell casting device, but he ignored that the Mage Tower itself is a multi-functional and super powerful alternative spell casting device, or a building.

Pulling back his wandering thoughts, Xia Duo warned himself not to be too ambitious, to be down-to-earth, to take care of the present before saying anything else.

Time passed quickly after that.

After dinner that day, Xia Duo did not study as usual, but rested early. It took a whole day of physical and mental exhaustion, and he was too tired.

　The second one is in the afternoon
Please recommend and reward~~
