The Ominous Lord of the Skaven

Chapter 35 The prototype of the magic gun
As a man, Ickert naturally yearns for magic itself.

His purpose is very simple, to become a strong man who uses cool moves to reach the pinnacle of his life!
Although he was led to the path of "Gandalf" for some reason, Ickert always maintained a heart of casting spells.

Even if he could directly cut down his opponent with a big sword, he would still have to set fire on him before he could cut down!
In the novels I read in my previous life, the advancement of magic is newer, more complex mathematical principles, and more powerful high-level spells.

But the magic that Ickert learned is different from that of his predecessors.

"For example, the zero-level trick 'burning fire', mages usually only use it as an experimental spell, and it has no power, but this does not mean that burning fire is a completely zero-level spell."

"Actually, if you increase the supply of magic power, you can turn 'burning fire' into a 'blazing fire'!"

Ickert snapped his fingers while speaking, and a bright cluster of fire appeared on his fingertips instantly.

Then, a faint blue magic power seeped out from his fingertips again, and the cluster of flames began to rise continuously, getting bigger and bigger.
Until one sound, boo!
The flame is gone.

"?"

"Teacher! Didn't you say it would turn into a raging fire?"

Sasha was still looking forward to a miracle, but unexpectedly, Ikert's small fire dissipated all of a sudden.

Speaking of jumping up, it seems to be only a little bit, probably not even the length of Sasha's little fingernail.

Ickert didn't feel embarrassed seeing the flames shattered, but patiently explained:

"Burning fire does have infinite potential, but the spell model that makes up this spell can only withstand such a high magic pressure."

The spell model is like the mold of the spell, which specifies the specific effect of the spell.

However, efficacy is not the only structure that constitutes a spell model. If a spell is to be formed in a "mold", a structure that stores magic power must be prepared for it.

And in order to complete the casting, it is not enough to just pour mana into it, there must be enough magic pressure to meet the release conditions, and the spell model itself must be composed of a magic conductor or a magic conductor.

Generally speaking, if a spell is cast out of thin air, it is the thread of mental power that forms the model of the spell, and the release of the spell also requires mental provocation as a trigger.

The reason why the burning fire cannot become a raging fire is that the spell mold is not big enough. This situation is often caused by the lack of mental strength of the user himself.

"Look again."

Ickert rebuilt a "burning fire", but this time, he used more spiritual power to further expand the energy storage deconstruction of the spell, and at the same time increased the output, a raging fire just burned in his hands !
"Wow!"

Sasha was taken aback by the sudden burst of flames.

"The spell model I use now is still 'burning fire', and its structure is not beyond the category of zero-level spells, but it can no longer be called a zero-level spell in my hands.

This is the difference between high-level spells and low-level spells, it doesn't have to be mysterious.

But in addition to this, there is another difference between high-level spells and low-level spells. "

Ickert explained that if it is just to amplify the power of spells, then the magician itself is too simple and rude.

"Have you ever wondered if a fireball is a fireball?"

Ickert inadvertently throws out a magical question that seems to be philosophical, but the answer to this question is actually very magical and very important.

Facing Ickert's new question, little Sasha also shook her head in a living up to expectations.

"Teacher, if the fireball technique is not a fireball technique, what else can it be?"

Ickert didn't speak, but started casting the spell again.

First a gust of wind blew, and then magical flames ignited in the path of the wind.

With such a simple and clear demonstration, Little Sasha understood it right away.

This was also the first time she understood the teacher's intentions.

"Mr. Ickert, do you want to say that high-level spells are actually composed of many low-level functional spells!"

"Yes."

Eckert smiled, and patted little Sasha's head as a sign of encouragement.

Just like his demonstration just now, in fact, this spell called "Blowing Flame" is no longer a pure fire spell, it is a long-range technique composed of wind and fire spells.

Of course, the construction of a real high-level spell model must be more advanced than a simple function stack, but the basic principles are the same.

"Now let's talk about the fireball technique. From the first level, the fireball technique has actually been a combination of various magics.
Including the original magic that simply uses the original magic power, wraps the fireball with a magic coating, so that it will not be affected by the surrounding environment when flying, and has wind magic to keep it moving, and some people will even join the magic pressure tunnel to guide the ballistic trajectory, or Use magic signal induction to guide the target. "

The more Sasha listened, the more excited she became. She never thought that such a small fireball technique would hide so many mysteries!
"But teacher, does this have anything to do with the weapon you want to make?"

"Of course it has something to do with it! Just keep an eye on it!"

In fact, the complexity of high-level spells means the diversity of magic itself, and many functional spells are zero-level or low-level spells.

And through combination and amplification, mages can integrate a variety of spells on the basis of these functional magics!
Ickert wants to use magic instead of gunpowder, so naturally he can't simply use "fireball" or "burning fire".

The former involves too much functional magic, wasting magic power, and the latter is too simple to meet the requirements.

The so-called black powder is actually a lump of violently burning combustibles stuck in the barrel.

It heats the air extremely quickly by releasing energy quickly, forming an explosion in a small space, thereby pushing the bullet to move and gaining kinetic energy.

Of course, spells can do such things.

What Ickert needs is the core power spell "burst" of fireball, as well as some auxiliary zero-level tricks.

It should be noted that although Ickert can easily form the spell model he needs, the magic gun cannot cast spells like a human after all.

This is where the magic circle is needed.

Considering that little Sasha has not yet digested the knowledge of the first stage, Ickert still has not explained the principle of the magic circle, but one thing is very clear.

That is, the spell model is three-dimensional, and the magic circle is two-dimensional. The three-dimensional magic model needs to be reasonably deduced and improved before it can become a two-dimensional magic circle.

Ickert picked up Mithril Steel, which is a steel alloy mixed with Mithril. The price is relatively cheap, and it has good magic conductivity and magic storage.

He had the hammerhead shape it into a stick that just fit the barrel, and carved a precalculated circle on one end.

Then insert this piece of mithril steel into the back of the gun barrel, let out a piece to connect to the additional guide body, and then heat and weld the tail of the barrel to death, and a thing that can barely be called a magic gun is born like this up.
