Chapter 389 The Three Elements of Magic
"Magic power is the origin of all spells. Without magic power, spells are like water without roots, and there is no way to talk about it."

Cui Xi, who was lecturing, had a rare seriousness on her face. Even though she was only a third-ring mage, anyone could see that her attitude towards spells was serious and rigorous.

Although the direction is a bit different from other ways.

"And the acquisition of magic power comes from meditation, meditation on the inner world, and communication with everything outside."

"This is the kung fu of water drop through stone. It depends not only on a person's talent, but also on the method of meditation and the content of visualization."

"Usually, when the first meditation is successful and the first ray of magic power is generated in the body, one can be called a magic apprentice."

"The magic power of a magic apprentice is only enough for the actual zero-level tricks. You should understand that there are still one-level to nine-level magic spells, and even the legendary spells above it. These all require different levels of magic power as a support. If the magic power is not enough, it is absolutely impossible. Those who cast high-level spells."

"When the quality and quantity of magic power reach a certain level, a magic apprentice can officially become a first-ring mage. This process will not be too slow, and it can be done in about a week."

Speaking of this, Tang Sen heard Bahne make a snort, making everyone look at him involuntarily.

He was making a fire and boiling water, while processing dry food, without stopping, said: "One week? That's your experience, Trish."

"I know quite a few magic apprentices. Usually, it takes them several years to cast the simplest spells, and more people may spend their entire lives as magicians. .”

"Really?" Tracy showed a puzzled look: "Could it be that those magic apprentices are being lazy?"

Bahn sneered again, and said, "Who doesn't want to be a spellcaster? But talented people are a minority after all. The meditation you mentioned is enough to catch 90.00% of people. Most people don't It may sense the existence of magic power."

Tang Sen could see that Bahn also seemed to have tried to become a spellcaster. Although he was a dwarf, this was not surprising. After all, who could refuse spells?
Even among those ogres and goblins, there will be spellcasters.

Trish nodded suddenly, but she didn't express any opinions on these. She never felt that her talent was so good, and she would not compare herself with those who were inferior to her to gain a sense of superiority.

"In short, with magic power, there are spells, but magic power alone is not enough."

Trish continued to explain: "The second element is knowledge."

"Only knowledge is the way for a mage to reach the sky." Cuixi paused, and said, "This is what my teacher often talks about."

"How does a spell work, what is its principle, what kind of gestures and structures are needed to convert the magic power into real power in the magic net, these are the knowledge that a spell caster must master."

"Of course, knowledge is more than that. As a mage, you also need to learn the laws of all things. If you don't know what the essence of burning is, then it is impossible to know what kind of flame exists, and it is impossible to release any flames. related spells."

"If you don't know why water always flows down, why it rains, and why it freezes, then you can't cast this type of spell."

"Of course, these are just the knowledge of the evocation system. If you want to master necromancy spells, at least you need to understand the body structure of creatures, know how life exists, and what death is."

"All spells are related to the underlying rules of this world. This sentence is also often said by the teacher. The more knowledge a mage knows, the more subtle and powerful the spells he releases."

Tang Sen nodded, probably understanding what Cui Xi meant.

The magic of this world, to a certain extent, has the same effect as science. They are all studying the theorems of the world and studying those essential things.

"The third point is also the last element of casting a spell." Trish continued: "Imagination."

"If magic power is the soil of a spell, and knowledge is the foundation of a spell, then imagination is the external appearance of a spell. This kind of imagination is not unconstrained, but grown out of extreme rigor on the basis of knowledge. s things."

"My teacher said that imagination determines the upper limit of a spellcaster. Of course, for spellcasters below legend, the most important role of imagination is probably to construct magical structures."

Trixi's slender palm flicked slightly in mid-air, and a simple geometry composed of magic power floated in the air.

"This is the magic structure of the mage's hand. You must present it in your mind very accurately, without any deviation, in order to be able to cast it successfully."

"I've heard of quite a few cases where many spellcasters cast unexpected spells due to slight deviations in the imagined structure when casting some high-level spells, leading to various tragedies including but not Limited to madness, death, and even mind-bending."

Tang Sen looked at the magic structure, thoughtful.

Therefore, imagination, for the caster, is more like the ability to construct complex geometry in one's own mind, just like the thinking required when doing mathematical geometry.

Of course, Tang Sen couldn't understand what Tracy's teacher said about the role of imagination that a legendary spellcaster needs.

The magic in the world of Faerun has some similarities with the magic in the Harry Potter world studied by Townsend. For example, both need magic power to drive and change reality through magic power, but they are completely different in essence. .

If you want to classify it, the magic in the world of Faerun is more like science, rigorous, and scientific. You must accumulate knowledge step by step, and you must understand the essence and phenomenon of spells. shortcut.

The magic in the world of Harry Potter is reasonable, and it is closer to the blood warlocks in this world.

But the difference is that although the warlocks in this world cast spells with the power of blood, they still rely on the magic net system, which is equally rigorous and scientific.

The magic in the world of Harry Potter, as well as the way it is researched, is more unconstrained and unreasonable.

Tang Sen recalled it for a while, and felt that the magic power of that world carried a certain feeling of "I'm thinking".

Take light art as an example. The light art in this world is a zero-ring trick. Mages study light, understand light, and imitate the existence of light through magic to construct a rigorous spell structure, and then use this structure to change reality. .

As for the "fluorescent flicker" mastered by Tang Sen, the original intention of the research is probably - I want to have light.

Of course, this is a relatively shallow metaphor. Fluorescence also has its unique magic power and distance, but the essence is not the understanding of the world, but the extension of one's own soul. The magic power is only used to express the power of the soul.

"It seems that it is a long process to learn the magic of this world."
