Game of Thrones: I Created the Magic Web

Chapter 16 Origin Energy - Runes - Magic Energy
Black wings, bring black messages.

Lannister's caravan flew a Raven from King's Landing.

The news spread quickly—Jon Arryn, Hand of the King, Duke of the Eagle's Nest, Guardian of the Canyon, and Guardian of the East, died of a sudden illness.

Joffrey was quite surprised. He didn't expect the Prime Minister to die so quickly. He thought it would be a week or two.

He can only be thankful that he did not delay, communicated with Duke Tywin in time, and sought the support of the Lannister family.

Once Stark received the provocative secret letter, it would be much more troublesome to gain their power.

The convoy moved on.

Because of that fact that cannot be made public, the Lannister siblings and Duke Tywin inevitably hesitated.The caravan probably wouldn't change direction until King Robert's attitude was determined.

Joffrey continued his research.

Which one to choose, the big sword or the glass candle?He hesitated for a moment, but decided to study projects with clear expected benefits first.

"Hannah, bring the glass candle here."

Of all the items taken out of the treasury, only the great sword is the most difficult to understand.

Needless to say, Valyrian steel is a magical prop with a specific effect just like the patterned glass candle.

The function of gems and crystals has also been understood, which is to provide some kind of energy for magic.

There is nothing unusual about this great sword, it does not provide energy to other magic, and there has not been any visible change during this period of time, making people wonder where to start.

Curious as it is, there are more important things at the moment.

In the past two days, after practice and thinking, based on the existing information and data, he proposed a provisional magical framework:

"Sensing sources" such as gemstones and crystals that can only induce him can absorb and store a certain kind of magical energy that is difficult to use directly. This energy is tentatively named "source energy".

The nature, source, total amount, and efficacy of "source energy" are all unknown.

"Light sources" such as Valyrian steel, which can both sense and see light, can absorb "source energy" and convert it into some usable magical energy. This type of energy is tentatively named "magic energy".

The white light that can repair the damage of the tile steel and heal the injury is the recovery magic energy.

To be more precise, what he really sensed was "origin energy", and what he could sense and see light was "magic energy". Those items were just ordinary carriers.

And the "converter" that converts the source energy into magic energy is not the pattern, but the unknown "it" behind the pattern.

Joffrey had given it a trite name—the Rune.

It is worth noting that there is no consumption for the rune to convert the source energy into magic energy, but the creation of split new daughter runes needs to consume its own source—that invisible cold energy.

He named this precious icy energy "Run Energy".

Different from source energy and magic energy, so far he can only sense the runic energy that he owns, and he can't do anything about the runic energy on other magic props.

When he used the recovery rune to make Wagang, he briefly felt the rune energy during the transfer process, that kind of coldness.

However, the special sensitivity to runes that I thought would weaken with the consumption of runes.In other words, this is actually a response to the rune energy contained in the rune, not a response to the rune itself.

In this way, the rune has completely become a concept of nothingness.It can neither perceive nor see its true structure, and the difficulty of research is greatly increased.

Fortunately, there are patterns.

Although the pattern is just the magic energy that circulates in a special path because of the needs of the runes, it is a certain distorted projection of the invisible runes.

But it is precisely because of the existence of patterns that Joffrey can touch the runes indirectly, and then get the runes by chance, and be able to see the mysteries of magic.

Then there was the first use of the recovery rune three days ago.

Joffrey noticed with pleasant surprise that the spread and promotion of magic was not as difficult as expected.

At least not so difficult as to make the effects of magic on the world dispensable.

Taking himself as an example, the restoration rune can not only absorb the source energy and convert it into restoration magic energy, but also continuously generate rune energy to make other items with restoration runes; it can even grow together with his soul.

The last point is the most amazing. It seems that the soul provides the food for the runes to grow, and the runes also provide the nutrients for the soul to become stronger.

Perhaps runic energy is some derivative or variant of soul power.

Closer to home.

At the rate at which runic energy accumulates, Joffrey can make one or two pieces of Valyrian steel every day, or heal two or three minor traumas every day. The effect of magic is already significant.

But it also made him wonder: at this rate, Valyrian steel is by no means so rare.

There are hundreds of tile-steel weapons in Westeros, and there are probably thousands in the whole world. He alone can double this number in ten years.

Are there only a few wizards in a generation of Valyrians?
This is of course impossible.To be called a lost magical civilization, Valyria's use of magic should be much more extensive.

Well, it was presumably not a Valyrian problem, but his own.

My runes are growing too fast?
Or is there a significant price I don't know about doing this?
Even, they don't have the runes in their consciousness at all, but use other methods to use the power of magic?
After thinking of this at the time, he immediately discovered the key blind spot.

yes!Why do I always feel that other people have runes? !

Previously, he subconsciously thought that other people's situation was the same as his own, and attributed the decline of magic to the rarity and difficulty of observing runes, and he didn't doubt too much.

But as soon as I had this idea, and then recalled the information about magic that I knew, the answer was already obvious.

From the actual performance point of view.

This world uses magic in various ways, spells, mediums, rituals, dreams, props, blood, life and death...

There are many tricks, but there is no similar description of the magic that appears with the movement of the mind.

The magic known to the world is not only cumbersome and difficult to understand, but also has neither precise effects nor a definite success rate. There are a lot of luck and accidents, which are completely inconsistent with the effects of runes.

In terms of difficulty.

Although Joffrey only saw the distorted patterns projected by the runes, it was a gift like no other in the world.

Even so, he meditated deeply in his dream to reach the pattern, and completely consumed dozens of runes before he successfully took the first step.People who cannot see the pattern cannot learn it at all.

Taken together, his runes are probably truly unique.

The magic used by others may only be the empirical application of runes or secondary powers, and they don't really understand runes or the concept of magic that is closer to the essence, so it is complicated and difficult to control.

Could it be that in this world, certain actions, sounds, and phenomena can trigger the power of runes?
The answer can only be obtained after contacting other magicians.

"Your Highness, a glass candle."

Hannah carefully held it and presented it to the Crown Prince.This baby looks weak, and she doesn't want to break it.

Joffrey took it and looked it over carefully.

This is a magic item that was clearly mentioned in the plot.

Its shape is a candle, crystal clear, with a mysterious black light all over its body, and it is made of the famous dragon crystal.And because dragon crystal looks like some kind of glass, it is called "glass candle".

Dragon crystal is also known as obsidian, and the Valyrians also call it "Frostfire", which itself can kill the ghosts who use ice magic.

When he was in King's Landing, he deliberately found ordinary dragon crystals, and found that they could automatically absorb and store source energy just like gemstone crystals.Is the source energy harmful to the White Walkers?

Anyway, dragonglass can be used by Valyrians to make glass candles.

The wizards of Old Valyria's Freehold used these candles to enable their sight across mountains, seas, and deserts.Sitting in front of this kind of candle, they can enter other people's dreams to show phantoms, or exchange information across half the world.

Just knowing this captured Joffrey's modern soul.

Look at this gorgeous function, magic satellite, dream world, remote communication, a proper magic network basic section!
The master of the magic net is actually myself! ?

At the thought of such a bright prospect, the anticipation in his heart almost burst out.

After dismissing the servant, he immediately concentrated on communicating the recovery rune in his consciousness, while trying to meditate on the pattern on the glass candle.

Can symbols of different runes be used in common?
He vaguely knew the answer.

The runes hidden in the recovery rune can definitely construct new runes.
