Rhodes picked up these books and looked at them.
Among these books, one has "Expert Water Magic" written on the cover, another has "Advanced Mystery" written on it, and the last one is the blue-robed mage's magic book, which records the magic skills mastered by the blue-robed mage. All spells.
Of these three books, the first two involve higher-level special skills. In the magic guild, books on special skills require a higher price to obtain, especially this "Expert Water Magic". Since it involves expert-level skills, this book itself is of extremely high value.
For mages who need these special skills, these books are worth far more than ordinary magic items. But for Rhodes, the value of the first two books is much less.
Due to the extremely slow speed of learning special skills on his own, and the lack of prerequisite skills for these skills, Rhodes was unable to learn the special skills recorded in the book. He could only wait until he joined the magic guild and find a way to sell the books.
After putting these two books into the space ring, Rhodes set his sights on the blue-robed mage's magic book. Holding the magic book in his hand, Rhodes began to look through it.
In the first half of the magic book, the blue-robed mage records some of the events he has experienced from his own perspective, including a tryst with a female apprentice in the magic academy, stealing treasures and being expelled from the magic academy, befriending User and joining a business group, etc. .
The blue-robed mage obviously did not expect that he would die here, and the magic book fell into the hands of the enemy. The first half of the magic book is more like the blue-robed mage's record of his important experiences. After various events occurred, the revelations the blue-robed mage received and the experiences he gained were recorded in detail in the magic book.
Looking at the first half of the magic book, Rhodes was not surprised. Many official mages would record the deeds that had a great impact on them and their various thoughts in their magic books.
For mages, magic books are not only a carrier for recording various spells, but also their comfort in the process of studying various spells all year round. Looking through the magic book, it feels like seeing myself who once pursued magic.
Rhodes turned the magic book to the back and began to look at the spells recorded in the second half of the magic book.
"By reading the magic book, you learned the first-level spells [Weakness], [Waterbending Magic], and [Firebending Magic]."
"[Weakness Level 1]: First-level water magic. It consumes 6 mana and reduces an enemy's strength by 2 points, lasting 30 seconds. The experience required for upgrade is 10."
"[Waterbending Magic Lv1]: First-level water magic. It consumes 5 mana and reduces the water magic damage received by a unit by 10%. The duration is 15 seconds. The experience required for upgrade is 5."
"[Fire Control Magic Lv1]: First-level fire magic. It consumes 5 mana and reduces the fire magic damage received by a unit by 10%. The duration is 15 seconds. The experience required for upgrade is 5."
In addition to these magic spells, the magic book also records the [Thunderbolt Ice] and [Ice Magic Ring] previously used by the blue-robed mage. But these two magics are second-level spells. If you want to learn them, Rhodes needs to upgrade his wisdom level.
When creatures of the same level are of similar strength, the experience value provided by the caster is higher than that of the melee professional. After Rhodes killed the blue-robed mage, he got 410 experience points. Together with the remaining experience points, it was enough for Rhodes to level up.
"500 experience points are consumed, and the remaining experience points are 290. The professional level is upgraded to level 2 swordsman level 6..."
"Get 1 free attribute point, get 1 skill point..."
Rhodes used skill points and chose to learn intermediate wisdom.
(Intermediate Wisdom: By learning various low-level spells, your ability to understand spells is improved. After analyzing various spells, your mind becomes more open and you can master more difficult spells. You begin to Realize the importance of spells. You can learn second-level spells.)
After learning the intermediate wisdom spell, Rhodes can quickly master the second-level spells recorded in the magic book.
The function of the wisdom spell is to help players quickly master the spells of the corresponding level, eliminating the boring process of learning and practicing. In addition, the performance of some magic rituals also requires high-level wisdom.
Rhodes looked back at the magic book in his hand.
"By reading the magic book, you learned the second-level spells [Thunderbolt Ice] and [Ice Magic Ring]."
"[Thunderbolt Ice Level 1]: Second-level water magic. It consumes 12 mana and condenses an ice arrow to strike the enemy, causing 30 points of damage. 20 experience points are required to upgrade."
"[Ice Magic Ring Lv1]: Second-level water magic. It consumes 16 mana and releases an ice ring to attack surrounding enemies. The center of the ice ring will not be harmed. It can cause up to 20 points of damage, and the damage will gradually decrease as the ice ring spreads. .The experience required for upgrading is 40.”
Due to the lack of special skills and the low level of spells, although Rhodes learned these spells, the effects he exerted were not as good as those of the blue-robed mage.
The improvement of spell effects mainly comes from several aspects.
The first is the special skills corresponding to the four types of magic: water, fire, earth, and air. Once learned, the effects of magic can be greatly improved and the consumption of mana when casting spells can be reduced.
Since a special skill only corresponds to one series of spells, when a mage is not of a high level, he usually only chooses to learn one series of magic, and at the same time masters the special skills corresponding to that series of magic. For example, the previous blue-robed mage specialized in water magic.
Mental attributes also affect the effectiveness of spells. The higher the mage's mental attributes, the stronger the spell's effect.
For damage spells, the damage value is equal to the basic damage of the spell itself, plus the bonus brought by the mental attribute.
The level of the spell determines the coefficient of the mental attribute bonus, which is why high-level spells cause far more damage than low-level spells.
For status spells such as buffs and weakeners, mental attributes only affect the duration of the spells, but have no effect on the specific values of the improved or weakened attributes.
In addition, increasing the spell level can also increase the spell effect.
For damage-type spells, increasing the spell level can only increase the spell's basic damage, but has no effect on the bonus coefficient of mental attributes.
For status spells, increasing the spell level can affect the effects of the spell.
In addition to the damage and status spells, there are also some special spells whose effects are only related to the special skills of the four magic series.
In addition to the effects of releasing skills, mana is also equally important that affects the mage. With enough mana, even if a single spell does not produce the desired effect, it can be made up for by releasing it multiple times.
At this time, Rhodes still had 2 free attribute points left. In order to improve his strength as quickly as possible, Rhodes allocated these 2 attribute points to the knowledge attribute.
Some adjustments have been made to spell levels, creature levels, and background history. There are some differences from the original version of H3.
