Across the Sky From the Stop of Time

  Chapter 608 Understanding the Mysteries of Magic

   "It's amazing!" When Hao Shuai's soul returned to his body, he couldn't help admiring when he recalled what he had just seen.

This method of using the soul to travel around the world is really great. In fact, with the ability of Hao Shuai to leave the body, it is reasonable to say that he should have been able to do it a long time ago. place.

   After all, Uncle Jiu, who taught Hao Shuai Taoism, couldn't even get out of his body.

   "Drink tea!" Gu Yi made another pot of tea and poured a cup for Hao Shuai.

   "Thank you, master, for your guidance." Hao Shuai offered Gu Yi a cup of tea instead of wine.

  Gu Yi smiled and waved his hand: "You don't need to thank me, joining Karma Taj is just the beginning, you can ask me anytime if you don't understand anything."

   Afterwards, Hao Shuai lived in Karma Taj and lived an isolated life.

  Of course, this isolation is relative. Hao Shuai will still go to Wakanda to collect vibration money every seven days, and pay public food every two or three nights.

At the beginning, Hao Shuai didn’t rush to ask Gu Yi for teaching, but hid in the library by himself, learning from the most basic theoretical knowledge, holding books such as "Solomon's Classics", "Proverbs and Quotations", "Guidelines for the Use of Magic" every day. " and other books suitable for the understanding of novice mages.

  After nearly half a month of reading and discussing with Gu Yi from time to time, Hao Shuai barely understood the profession of magician.

   If you want to understand what a magician is, you must first understand what "magic power" is. The so-called "magic power" is the energy that exists in the air and in all things and spirits in the world, the source of elements, and the composition of the soul.

The so-called "magic" is to obtain magic power from the air, from the living body, from the gods or any spiritual life body that one believes in, and release it through various media to achieve attack, healing, defense or other effects in a supernatural way. This process is magic.

   From the definition above, we can see that when casting magic, there are three sources of magic power, one is the magic power in the air, which is also the most convenient.

  But because the rules of the world are different, not every world will have magic power. Like the earth in the end of the age, if you want to extract magic power from the air to cast magic at this time, it is impossible to even think about it.

   Another source is the magic power stored in the caster's body. Every magician will improve his spiritual power through meditation, so as to communicate with the magic power in the air, introduce it into the body and store it, and then use it when casting a spell.

   But special attention must be paid to the fact that the magic power in the body must not be overused, otherwise it will cause great burden and damage to the body.

   Since ancient times, the magic world has often had examples of death or even the dissipation of the soul due to excessive extraction of mana in the body.

  The last source is belief and contract. Simply put, it is to obtain a stable source of magic power through belief in gods, demons, or signing contracts with other spiritual life forms.

  Although the magic power obtained in this way is free of impurities and is the purest and most powerful, you must understand that there is no free lunch in the world. If you want to gain something in anything, you have to pay, and often you pay more than you gain.

  Like the black magic recorded in the "Dark God Book", it is very powerful, but the price is also very strong. It will slowly erode and corrupt the user's soul, and finally kill the user and use his body to let the projection of the demon **** come to the world.

  Don't look at the above three methods of magic cultivation, but just like cultivating immortals, magic cultivation also pays attention to talent.

Take meditation as an example. Some people are born with strong souls and strong spiritual power. It may only take one night to feel the existence of magic power and introduce it into the body. Some people may not feel the magic power in their entire life. Become a magician.

   To paraphrase the world of Harry Potter, this is the difference between wizards and Muggles.

And there are differences between mages who can also feel the magic power. Take Kama Taj as an example. According to the strength of the mage's spiritual power and the mastery of magic, the level of the mage is roughly divided into three levels. Level, junior mage, intermediate mage, senior mage.

Although it is only divided into three levels, but Karma Taj, as the sacred place of mages in the world, there are dozens of mages practicing here, but there are only a dozen of junior mages, and even more middle-level mages. There are only two or three. As far as Hao Shuai knows about senior mages, sorry, there are none at present.

  Of course the supreme mage Gu Yi is not in this ranks, and the next supreme mage Dr. Strange is also not in this ranks.

  This shows how difficult it is to cultivate spiritual power.

  It is also because of the difficulty of spiritual cultivation that the accumulation of magic power of most mages is slow, so Kama Taj has spent countless years summarizing and inventing a set of secret techniques suitable for mages whose magic progress is slow.

  The principle of the secret technique is to use magic power to transform into physical strength and increase one's physical fitness. This kind of increase is an increase in all aspects of the body. Strength, speed, defense, toughness, etc. have all been greatly enhanced.

This secret technique is simple and easy to learn, and even a mage can learn it. As long as you work hard, you will soon have a strong combat power. In addition to using spells, mana models can be transformed into various magic weapons according to your needs. Yes, secret technique, the combination of these two is simply perfect for melee combat.

  This is why Karma Taj's mage in the movie is a melee mage.

  In contrast to the new generation of supreme mages, Dr. Strange, Dr. Strange, can remotely perform a variety of magical and cool magics such as the avatar technique in Avengers 3 and 4.

  If it weren't for Thanos as the opponent with a few infinite gems in hand, it is estimated that Doctor Strange alone would be enough for Thanos to drink a pot.

  As for why Gu Yi, who is also a supreme mage, also likes to use secret techniques for melee combat? ?

  According to gossip, the ancient one was the Celts hundreds of years ago, and the Celts were listed as the three major barbarian nations in Europe along with the Germans and Slavs.

  The racial instinct of "reckless" has been deeply embedded in the blood of the ancient one, so that whenever the ancient one fights, he will always fight the enemy unnaturally.

  Magic power is very sensitive to air flow and patterns, and to a certain extent also responds to colors and some special substances. So magic needs to be channeled through regular air movements or patterns.

  So spells, spells and magic circles appeared. At the same time, because special substances also have an attractive effect on magic power, the placement and brewing of items are also indispensable in the study of magic.

  At the same time, in order to use magic anytime, anywhere and quickly, magicians store magic power in some weapons or weapons to enhance their power.

   This practice is called "enchanting", and the common staff, magic wand, is one of the representatives.
