Chapter 22 Mental Meter
"The first set of experiments, meditation experiments."

Xia Lin didn't move anything, but sat on the chair in a comfortable state, and began to enter a state of meditation.

Meditation is the most basic method for a mage to enhance their spiritual power and help them control their spiritual power.

According to Xia Lin's past memory, the mental power is not active under normal conditions, but after entering the meditation state, the mental power will become active.

Among them, people with strong spiritual power can even release their spiritual power to feel the outside world. This is a person who is born with the talent of a mage.

Sergeant students like Xia Lin who have been deliberately selected have outstanding spiritual talent. Basically, after two to three months of basic meditation, they can release their mental power outside the body.

However, the spiritual power of this world is different from the spiritual power shown in some literary and artistic works that Xia Lin had seen in his previous life. It is not the naked eye, so it cannot function like a visual radar. It can only feel the ubiquitous magic power in the air and The existence of other spiritual powers.

Only under the influence of the runes, it would seem to have grown eyes and ears, recording a lot of information about the external environment.

In the world of magic, spiritual power and magical power are closely related, and they together form magical spells. Xia Lin intends to explore the nature and relationship between the two by activating spiritual power in a meditative state.

The moment he entered the meditation state, Xia Lin felt as if he had an extra pair of hands all over his body. This was the first nature of spiritual power that Xia Lin discovered:

It spreads evenly throughout the body, there is no such thing as more in the brain or heart, and less in the hands, feet and limbs.

Silently recording this first tiny discovery, Xia Lin controlled the spiritual power to extend out of the body, and soon made a second discovery, that is, the spiritual power can disturb the magic power, but at the same time, the magic power will also prevent the spiritual power from going deep into the outside world. .

With Xia Lin's spiritual power, he can only reach out about ten meters around his body, and his mental power can only be refined and contracted, and then when he reaches a range of about 300 meters to 400 meters, his mental power will not advance at all.

Perhaps mental strength can be quantified by the distance it extends to the outside world.

If Xia Lin realizes something, among the spells he has mastered is a recording technique, which is composed of runes called recording runes by the professor of the rune class. It can activate part of the mental power to record the information you want to record. This information can be read through externally released mental power contact recording techniques.

If he uses this recording technique to perform a recording technique every ten meters on a long enough rope, and then uses mental power to read the information, if the concentration of magic power in the environment is constant, and ignores the small amount of mental power generated Consumption, is the distance that mental power can reach equivalent to the quantification of mental power?

Feeling that it seems feasible to use this principle to make a mental meter, Xia Lin thought of the magic meter again.

The principle of the magic meter is actually not difficult, and the rune will consume mana to take effect. Xia Lin thinks that he only needs to find a rune whose effect is easy to observe, and at the same time eliminate the interference of magic power from other sources.

During the brainstorming, Xia Lin naturally thought of the light rune in the Dancing Light spell model and a special rune in a ring of spell writing scrolls: the isolation rune.

The former will start to run and glow as long as it is injected with magic power, while the latter is the most difficult hurdle to master the writing scroll.

As the name suggests, the isolation rune is to isolate the contact between the spell model and the magic of the environment, so as to preserve the spell scroll.

Its principle is to generate a film of mental power on the spell scroll through the function of runes, and use the nature of mutual interference between mental power and magic power to isolate magic power.

Ordinary people who can't release their mental power outside need to tear off a specific position to activate the scroll when using the spell scroll, in order to destroy this rune and activate the spell model.

From this point of view, if you use a material with general magical properties to carve light runes and isolation runes on a long wooden board, as long as the user touches the rune line of the light rune and injects magic power, will it be possible to light up according to the light rune? Quantity, to roughly measure the magic power of the tester?
The reason why materials with average conductivity are used is that Xia Lin is afraid that the magic power consumed by the light runes is too small, so a small amount of magic power may activate more than a dozen light runes. Although the sensitivity is high, the range will be reduced. If it is less, the scope of application can only be limited to the precise measurement of small magic power.

After all, even when Xia Lin first generated his own magic power, his magic power was enough to light up dozens of light runes.

After getting some clues for making a mental power meter and a magic power meter, Xia Lin continued to explore the nature of spiritual power and magic power in a state of meditation.

Soon he discovered another property of spiritual power, that is, it can be stored in magic crystals.

Reminiscent of the crystal ball in the mage talent test, Xia Lin suspected that it was an instrument made by the mages of this world using this property.

I just don't know that magic crystals can store spiritual power, whether ordinary crystals can store spiritual power, and whether other magic stones can store spiritual power.

And after storing the spiritual power in the magic crystal, Xia Lin found that his mental power could vaguely perceive the spiritual power stored in the crystal ball, which made him guess whether it was two separated spiritual powers of the same person There will be this mysterious perception in contact.

Let Harper try it once, and sure enough, he also felt this mysterious connection, which will weaken with the increase of distance, and Xia Lin temporarily made a conclusion that the same source of spiritual power has a kind of The strength of this connection is inversely proportional to the distance.

After this experiment, Xia Lin roughly sorted out several properties of mental power:

One: Spiritual power and magic power interact with each other.

Two: The mental power spreads evenly throughout the body, and can be released into the surrounding environment under certain conditions. The preliminary guess is that the distance of the external release is proportional to the total amount of mental power and inversely proportional to the concentration of environmental magic power.

Three: Spiritual power can be stored in magic crystals. It is currently unclear whether ordinary crystals or other magic stones can store spiritual power.

Four: There is a certain mysterious connection between the spiritual power of the same source, and the strength of the connection is inversely proportional to the distance.

Plus a conclusion he got when he cast the spell:
Five: Spiritual power can control and guide spells through certain effects.

Xia Lin's first phase of research on the nature of mental power has come to an end.As for more in-depth research, he had to wait for a breakthrough in his quantitative experiments before proceeding.

Next is the study of the nature of magic.

For magic power, Xia Lin's intuitive feeling is that it is everywhere and endless. A mage's spellcasting is carried out by relying on a small amount of self-mana to drive the magic power of the environment. Troubled, this makes Xia Lin feel very magical.

However, the exploration of the nature of magic power is not as convenient as spiritual power. After a period of research, Xia Lin found that magic power interferes with spiritual power and can produce various wonderful phenomena under the influence of runes. Too big a gain.
