For wizards such as Ron and Hannah who are not outstanding in talent, it is undoubtedly extremely difficult to improve their strength to be able to adapt to today's combat level.
Even Maka obviously cannot escape from the basic theory of magic.
However, even if there is no way to quickly improve their own magic strength, if they just want to strengthen their combat capabilities, they can still find a way after a little more thinking.
For example, with the continuous practice of Maka, the entire system of rune patterns has been gradually improved.
I remember that not long ago, Hermione carved the magic script tablets in advance and asked RA members to repeatedly practice the formation of the queue, so that the magic script array showed its brilliance several times in actual combat.
Although it is very bloated overall and cannot be used stably due to the high requirements for accuracy, the potential contained in it is huge.
After Maka saw the effect that Hermione showed him, she realized that as long as these flaws were eliminated one by one, this might create a new magical world with epoch-making significance.
So after that, even though Maka had been very busy, she had repeatedly taken time to think about it, and even tried some improvements with Hermione.
In the end, he focused on the "material" that carried the rune array.
Obviously, although Maka's rune array is a new system created by himself, its structural principle is different from the ancient circular magic array, but presents a form similar to a circuit diagram.
But in the final analysis, his rune array was originally derived from various fragments of ancient magic arrays scattered in ancient documents. Among them, the various magic runes and regular runes are no different from the ancient magic arrays.
It can be said that the essence of the two is the same.
Because of this, some of the fundamental shortcomings of ancient magic arrays naturally continued into Maka's rune array system.
Among the many difficult flaws, the one that most restricted the development of ancient magic literature may be their carriers.
Due to the transmission problem of magic power, only natural stone can make the rune pattern operate most stably and smoothly, and its load is immediately restricted. And because of the various inconveniences of the stone itself, the research on magic circles never really became popular even during the heyday of magic in ancient times.
But in today's era where Muggle science is becoming more and more advanced, even if Maka himself is not very familiar with it, he often gets inspiration from a lot of common sense.
Just like when he asked Hermione and the three of them to make a transfer rune array at Castle Blois, the rune cards he gave were a result of his research - he prepared a natural stone powder Paint allows the rune pattern to operate stably on any sufficiently flat surface.
In this way, as long as Maka, who has already mastered various magic words and runes in depth, can draw the originally complex and huge array diagram as much as possible on the surface of an item that is portable enough. Then even Ron and the others, whose magic level is not very high, can use special spells to convey magic power normally and use them through a series of not difficult exercises.
Right now, a few of them were trying to practice outside the yard, and what Maka provided were two light metal shields with arm armor.
"Hey! Ginny, don't stand over there - it's a little difficult to control the direction of this shield. Don't accidentally hurt you!"
It can be seen that one of the arm shields made by Maka is being put on Ron's left hand. The off-white special stone powder coating covers up the unique luster of the metal, and a large number of extremely fine lines and symbols are outlined on the surface.
Especially on that round shield which was not very big, the complicated formation should have been quite large, but it was shrunk several times due to Maka's skill.
Obviously, this kind of thing is definitely impossible to mass-produce, because every character on it contains Maka's understanding of this rule. If you want to shrink so many runes to this extent like Maka, I am afraid that there are currently not many wizards in the world who can do it.
But there is no way. The more the arrays are miniaturized and portable, the more it is necessary to use various array combinations to ensure that they will not be easily destroyed in actual combat. In addition, we need to add formations that are convenient for ordinary wizards to use. The protective and functional formations alone account for more than half of the entire set of formations.
Although Maka is already letting Hermione and Luna try to learn the rule runes, at least for now, the equipment that will be distributed to everyone in the future must be made by Maka herself.
Just when Maka was wondering if there was any possibility of improvement, he saw Ron finally reciting the spell he had just taught. The next moment, a brilliant blue-white beam of light shot out from the center of the shield on his left arm and headed straight for the jungle in the distance.
With a freezing sound of "clicking", all the trees on the path of the light beam were frozen and shattered, and everything they passed was even more pure white.
Although the beam of light dissipated quickly, it still left an afterimage on everyone's retinas, which quietly faded away after a moment.
"Maka! This-"
Before Ron could finish his words, he swayed under the gazes of the friends around him, and then fell to the ground.
When Maka saw this, she couldn't help but shook her head slightly, and said to Ron lying on the ground:
"Who asked you to activate the cooling rules as soon as you came up! Didn't I want you to try the first magic shield spell first?"
In fact, this is already the result of Maka's nesting of the amplifying formation in the formation. Otherwise, just this moment would have been enough to deplete Ron's magic and mental power.
But at this moment, everyone saw Ron getting up from the ground in embarrassment, and said tremblingly:
"It's... so... awesome!"
"Take off the arm shield and give it to Hannah. Come over and drink a bottle of potion and take a rest!" Maka shouted at him angrily, "When you feel better, go to Neville and lift rocks with him."
"Eh?"
When Ron heard this, although his face was full of reluctance, he still handed the rune arm shield to Hannah who was beside him, and then dragged heavy steps back to the yard, leaning directly against the wall. He lay down on the ground.
Seeing Ginny go over to give him the potion, Maka turned her attention back to Harry in front of her.
To be honest, although the rune equipment was indeed something that Maka was looking forward to, the one who could bring him enough help next was definitely Harry, who had the Sword of Gryffindor.
You know, as far as Maka knows, the "Rage" rune contained in his sword should be the most offensive among all branches of the soul rules.
Facing the powerful Herbo, Harry's presence is definitely indispensable.
