Eternal Punishment Dragon in Prison

Chapter 7 Knowledge (Arcane)
A spell, in which a creature takes some mystical source of energy and shapes it into a specific effect, power, or energy that the caster desires.

Most scholars agree that this source of energy is unrefined magic, which exists in the universe in the same form as ordinary matter.

Magic is but one element in the set of things that make up reality as known to mortals.

You can find matter almost anywhere in the universe.

Some scholars believe that even interstellar space and the astral world contain extremely small matter, so small that it cannot be seen or felt, but it still exists.

Magic, too, permeates the universe, although most people remain unaware of its invisible presence.

Since magic is invisible and ubiquitous, according to Murphy's thinking, why should it be described as matter and particles.

Why can't magic be an electromagnetic wave?
Just like in the previous universe, the entire space is filled with countless electromagnetic waves.

Most of it is invisible, intangible, intangible, intangible, inaudible, but it can carry information and energy.

How similar is this to the so-called magic description.

And the way this universe uses magic is equivalent to using solar panels in previous lives to absorb sunlight (electromagnetic waves) and obtain the energy in it.

It's just that the technology of using electromagnetic waves in this universe is more developed, or in other words, the form of magic here is more usable by living things.

Of course, the nature of magic cannot be simply summarized by electromagnetic waves alone.

Some scholars also believe that magic is a law of the multiverse.

Thinking of this, Murphy became more interested.

There are four fundamental forces in the universe in previous lives.

There is magic in this universe, and magic can simulate almost all natural phenomena.

This is not similar to using electromagnetic force to simulate 99% of the natural phenomena in the universe in previous lives.

If possible, Murphy would like to be able to travel between these two universes to study the differences between the two.

Maybe you can discover the lowest and most fundamental theorem.

However, all of the above ideas are theoretical.

Just like string theory and M theory in previous lives, you don't have to understand it before you can use magic.

Specific to the level of application technology, it still needs to be carefully explored, such as how creatures use magic.

This is a headache.

As a giant dragon, Murphy found sadly that he could not directly sense any magic.

Even if he knew that there was magic power flowing in his body, he still couldn't sense it directly.

Just like there is blood in the body of a living being, the changes in the skin and muscles are used at most to indirectly feel the flow of blood.

"Do I have to grow up to the juvenile dragon stage, and wait until my body matures before I can initially grasp the power of spells?"

As a dragon, Murphy can of course use magic.

But this kind of use requires an adult, and the way to master spells is instinctive.

Dragon vein warlocks, who often do not show any magical talent until puberty, are exactly the same as dragons.

In Murphy's understanding, it means that in the body of the dragon, there is a magic organ that needs time to grow and develop.

Not even an organ, but some kind of organelle that lives inside a cell.

Like photosynthesis in chloroplasts, these organelles tap into the ubiquitous unrefined magic.

Rather than what ordinary people think, dragons are born with the ability to perceive magic.

Therefore, it is believed that most dragons are too lazy to study their own power, so they cannot use spells when they are underage.

But this means that if Murphy wants to use magic, he has to wait for his body to mature. How can Murphy bear it.

Isn't one of his original intentions for studying magic just to relieve this lonely and difficult time?
"Since I can't use instinct to cast spells for the time being, I have to learn to cast spells like a mage."

But this is also an extremely difficult problem.

Because Murphy did not find the mage's inheritance at all in the memory inheritance of the eternal punishment dragon.

This is a very normal thing, and the content of inherited memory is not unlimited.

And the content of the mage's inheritance is very much.

In the previous life, the blueprints of an airplane could fill a room.

Not to mention knowledge about spells?
But that doesn't mean Murphy has nothing to do.

Since he considered studying magic, he naturally had a way to acquire the knowledge of spells.

"Your [Knowledge (Arcane)] has been increased: 5 → 12."

boom!
After Murphy consumed 7 skill points to add [Knowledge (Arcane)], a flow of information from nowhere came to his memory.

He just felt as if he had once come to a bookshelf, holding thick books and reading hard day and night.

All kinds of knowledge flow in my mind.

Endless mysteries began to emerge in consciousness.

When Murphy came back to his senses, the steps he had just taken had not yet fallen.

"In a blink of an eye, the attribute panel is so magical!"

Murphy was pleasantly surprised. The system that accompanied him through time travel was so powerful, and the rewards he gained after adding points were real, without any moisture at all.

And to be honest, Murphy thinks that the column of skills, in addition to knowledge.

Other skills are not worth adding points, because those can be practiced by yourself.

But knowledge is very different, no matter in any place, knowledge is the most precious wealth.

Especially for advanced knowledge, the higher the level, the more precious it is.

Especially knowledge (arcana), which is the source of power for powerful spellcasters.

It is even more difficult to obtain.

And even if it is acquired at an incomparably precious price, it may not necessarily be able to learn successfully.

Even if it can be successfully studied, the time consumed is extremely long.

But Murphy, just need a little bit of consciousness.

can be easily obtained, and can skip the difficult learning process.

Do not!
Or can't say skip.

Murphy really felt that there was an extra learning experience in his memory.

It was this experience that raised his Knowledge (arcana) to 12 points.

It raised Murphy's understanding of arcane knowledge to the level equivalent to a level 9 mage.

"Sure enough, this arcane knowledge doesn't have any spell models."

The improvement brought about by knowledge (arcana) is equivalent to learning theoretical knowledge such as molecular biology, biochemistry, and physical chemistry.

You can compile a piece of protein (spell model) by yourself according to these theories.

But the protein (spell model) that has been created by itself has not been taught to you at all.

It belongs to the difference between theoretical technology and applied technology.

However, Murphy was already very satisfied.

No!Even very satisfying.

Mastering the essence of magic is far more important to a mage than mastering the application of magic.

The latter will always only act as a fort thug, and the former can move towards the high level of the mage stage, and move towards the road of mastering the true power of the multiverse.

Gain legendary spells that make the gods fear.

Murphy once had a dream, that is to be the warden of Carceri.

However, the plane of Kaserli is inhabited by gods.

Especially in the sixth layer of Kaserli - the layer of death hell, the powerful god of death, Naraku, lives on the throne of the hidden temple.

His eyes penetrated Carceri, looking down at thousands of planes.

Without mastering the power of legendary spells, trying to rule this plane just by surpassing the ancient dragon is simply a joke.

"I will create some spells of my own, although this process will take a long time, and the spells I research may not necessarily be stronger than the classic models."

"But this is my mage's path."
