Mage Joan

After reading through the "Remarks of Golem Research", Qiao An discovered that in the second half of the book, the content contained has even exceeded the scope of "Advanced Architecture" and began to involve the cutting-edge field of "Legendary Architecture". One of the most obvious signs is the frequent mention of a word in the second half of the book-"colossus"!

What is a "colossus"? According to the book, it refers to a class of "legendary constructs" that are more powerful than golems.

At the peak of the giant civilization, creating "colossus" and "floating city" are two things that a legendary mage must do to show his financial strength and academic level. If a legendary mage does not have a "colossus" as a bodyguard, Without a floating city of your own in your family, it is like a gentleman without a horse and manor in the southern part of the modern New World.

Unfortunately, with the end of the era of giants, the civilization of the giants has turned from prosperity to decline. Today, most of the techniques and magic of making legendary constructs have long been lost. The empty sky do not see the floating castle anymore, and the colossus rare.

Even if some ancient giant families still inherit the giant statues left by their ancestors, I am afraid they cannot create the same "human miracle".

Qiao An caressed the immeasurable reading in his hand, but he couldn't help but feel excited.

As long as he is given enough time to study, he will one day be able to fully grasp the precious knowledge recorded in this cheat book, and then he can personally try to make golems and even giant statues, so that the glory of ancient civilizations can be reproduced in the world.

Of course, to make golems and even colosses, only one textbook is not enough. Joan’s most lacking is not knowledge, but wealth. Even if he sells him, he will not have enough to make an iron golem. Money and resources, not to mention the legendary colossus.

At the thought of the question of "money", Joan's mood dropped, and he sighed and squeezed Archmage Vavrunier's "Remarks on Golem Research" back into the storage bag, and then studied in detail when he was free.

Joan then picked up the quaint golden ring and placed it in his palm to observe, judging by the yellow magic aura radiated by it, it was likely that some kind of "transformation school" arcane was attached to the ring.

Joan has never learned this spell, but he is sure where he has seen it before, otherwise he will not have such a familiar impression!

With a sense of anticipation similar to anxiety to "solve the case", Joanne took out the pen and ink and skillfully painted the No. 4 Rune rune "Ansuz" on the ring, trying to analyze the magic attached to the ring.

The ring was magically fluctuating. Lines of mixed formulas and glowing text of geometric figures were successfully parsed out. Joan glanced at him with two unexpected smiles. I just felt familiar. The ring attached to the ring was really 4 rings. Transfiguration".

Joan has already transcribed the "Transfiguration", it is not necessary to look closely, but in order to understand the enchantment effects of this ring, he still read through the parsed mantra from beginning to end, and the result was an unexpected surprise. !

Normally, it only takes a 4th-level spell slot to perform the "transformation", but the "transformation" attached to this ring is very special, and the layout is surprisingly large, occupying 8-ring spell slots!

Using the 8th-level spell slot to accommodate a 4th-level spell, this behavior is like "killing a chicken with a cow knife" and "cannon against a mosquito", which is too much waste.

However, Qiao An knew clearly that none of the powers that can cast 8-ring spells are fools, and the skill of careful calculation doesn't need to be doubted. It is unlikely that such a waste of resources will be done for no reason. Among them, there must be something wrong!

Joan was in a mood to focus on analyzing this mysterious ring. It took half an hour to finally see the mystery. It turns out that the "transformation" is added with some kind of "super magic" special effect, in order to make the super magic function fully realized. , The manufacturer of this ring had to upgrade the "transfiguration" which had only 4 rings to 8 rings.

With the upgrade of the spell level, the upper limit of the magic power of the spell has also been greatly improved. These extra magic powers are all used to match a super magic skill called "Higher Spell Delay"!

Joan once learned "Spell Delay". This super-magic skill is added to the spell, which can double the duration of the spell. The price for this is to increase an additional spell slot.

"Higher Spell Delay", as the name implies, is an upgraded version of "Spell Delay". A caster must be able to learn "Higher Spell Delay" under the condition of mastering "Spell Delay". Joan just meets this Prerequisites, and with his intelligence level and knowledge reserve, it is not difficult to understand the subtleties of this super magic skill.

To put it simply, when the caster casts a time-limited spell, each additional spell slot is used to match the "higher spell delay", and the duration of the spell can be expanded by one level, up to Take "day" as the unit.

A concept involved here is the unit of spell duration.

Excluding those spells that are effective instantaneously and those that are permanently effective, most of the spells have a time limit. The magic power continues to dissipate with the continuation of time. When the magic power is exhausted, the spell will reach the time limit and release itself.

There are usually five types of time units for spells. The shortest unit is "round". One round is 6 seconds; the longer unit is "minute", which is 1 minute; the larger time unit is "engraved". , Equivalent to 10 minutes; the larger unit of time is the "clock", which is 1 hour, which is equivalent to 60 minutes; the last is "day", which is one day and night, which is equivalent to 24 hours.

In addition, there are larger time units such as "week", "month", "year" and "century", but these units are rarely used by spells, so they are usually not considered.

The magic of "Higher Spell Delay" is that it can extend the effective time limit of a spell by an order of magnitude.

Spells with "round" as the unit, such as 2 rings of "flash dust", after being upgraded to 3 rings, with "higher spell delay", the blinding time can be increased by ten times and become "minutes". If the rank is 4th, it becomes "10 minutes", and so on, as long as there is a sufficiently high spell level, the duration of the spell can be increased step by step until the unit is "day"!

Knowing the magical effect of "Higher Spell Delay", Joan rubbed his hands excitedly, quickly raised the pen and dipped it in ink, and copied this extremely powerful ancient super-magic mystery to his spell book as the focus of his next stage Courses to learn.
