"Shashasha..."
"From the perspective of brain computing power, using free energy elements to replace mana will greatly increase the difficulty of casting spells. It is like using the standard of a first-level spell to release a zero-level spell, and using the standard of a second-level spell to release a first-level spell. , there will be a feeling that the gain outweighs the loss. However, this problem can also be solved.
One solution is to only release spells with low power and simple spell models, so that the increased difficulty will not be too high and within the acceptable range.
Maybe releasing a weak spell will have little effect in battle, but what if it is released not just once, but ten, twenty, or hundreds of times at the same time
In the current world, the release of all spells requires the operation of mana.
The higher the spell level, the more complex the spell model, the more mana is used, and the longer the casting time is required, and it may even require special spells to be released. Even the lowest level zero-level spell requires a certain amount of time to operate the mana, and cannot be truly released instantly.
In other words, there are no instant spells in the current world.
But... if free energy is used to cast spells, the release speed of some zero-ring spells that have a very short casting time will be accelerated again. Although they cannot be truly instantaneous, they can be pseudo-instantaneously cast. After all, in just one second, if you release ten, twenty, or dozens of spells, there is not much difference from instantaneous spells. By then, the low attack power situation will change.
For example, the zero-level spell "Fire Blast" can be regarded as a low-power spell bullet. A single attack does not have much destructive power, but when it is released dozens or hundreds of times a second , can directly form a spell barrage, instantly releasing a powerful attack.
This is like the difference between a heavy machine gun and a musket. "
"The difference between heavy machine guns and muskets." Richard said to himself.
When the musket was first invented, due to various shortcomings such as loading, firing, and intolerance to moisture, it was at most just an enhanced substitute for bows and arrows.
But on modern earth, during the American Civil War in the 19th century, a doctor named "Gatlin" held the belief that "study medicine cannot save Americans", "it is better to be an inventor than a doctor", and "invent a way to make war easier for both sides". After creating the first practical machine gun with the idea of "calm down weapons", through development, the traditional warfare method of group charge was directly swept into the trash can of history, directly changing the history of war.
There is a qualitative difference between heavy machine guns and muskets.
Richard's eyes flashed and he continued writing on the papyrus scroll.
"It is obviously feasible to use free energy elements to release low-power zero-level spells, and the final power displayed may reach the level of a first-level spell.
Another option, using free energy elements to cast spells, may not really be unable to release complex high-level spells. As long as you use some means, you can release high-level spells more easily, and you don't even need to consider issues such as brain computing power when releasing. Because in the current world, there is something called... magic pattern. "
Magic pattern!
Richard's eyes lit up slightly.
In the current world, there are magic patterns and spells!
You only need to carve the magic patterns that match the spell model on the corresponding materials, and then inject various free energy elements into the magic pattern props. The magic patterns will automatically run and the spell will be released automatically.
Maybe this requires the magic pattern to be carved very complicatedly, but as long as you are prepared before the battle, you don't have to consider the brain's computing power at all, but it is the simplest and most trouble-free.
In this way, a comprehensive and reasonable improvement in the method of casting spells has been completed.
Richard stood up and paced in the study, "Da da da..."
Thinking begins to diverge.
It is feasible to transform the magic source and use magic pattern props to improve the way of casting spells. But if the ability is high enough, you can actually completely abandon the magic source, abandon the magic pattern props and all other auxiliary means, and cast spells alone.
After all, the function of the magic source is to store mana and free energy elements. If the ability is sufficient, it can absorb free energy from the outside world at any time and use it, and then directly complete the mana operation of the entire spell model through brain calculations to release powerful spells.
From this point of view, the magic source is actually similar to the magic pattern props. They both play a certain auxiliary role. The only difference is that the magic source is equivalent to a fixed and permanent magic pattern prop.
In this way, for the real high-level wizards, the so-called three life reshapings are not necessarily necessary. Opening up the source of magic and smelting can be completely omitted. They only need to use meditation to have powerful power.
"Well, wait a minute!" Richard suddenly shouted with his eyes flashing. He suddenly felt that his divergent thinking touched a certain memory in his mind, and the next moment he quickly walked back to the desk.
With a "crash" and a flip of his hand, "Chapter of Monroe" was taken out of the iron ring and placed on the desk.
With a "pop" sound, Richard opened the heavy "Chapter of Monroe" and quickly turned the pages. His eyes fell on one of the pages, and then his eyes lit up.
"Sure enough!" Richard exclaimed and slowly read out the contents recorded on the pages of "The Chapter of Monroe". Originally, this content was just scanned without being read carefully, but now he truly discovered the secrets contained in it.
"According to rumors, in the early days of the ancient wizard civilization, wizards believed in nature. As descendants of the first generation of wizards, they had the oldest wizard inheritance. The wizards at that time had no source of magic in their bodies and relied purely on ingesting magic from the outside world when fighting. Energy elements are used to cast spells. It is undeniable that they are subject to many environmental restrictions, but they are extremely powerful and have almost no worries about running out of mana. They can truly move mountains and reclaim seas. Therefore, they are respected as Apocalypse Wizards.
There is no doubt about the power of the Apocalypse Wizard, but the talent required to become an Apocalypse Wizard is exaggeratedly high, and most people do not have this qualification. Therefore, in the early days of ancient wizard civilization, the number of wizards was very rare, and they were a very small group of people.
But later, something happened that caused this situation to change.
That is, an apocalyptic wizard created the source of magic and discovered that the source of magic could make it easier for people with low talents to become wizards, so the source of magic quickly became popular. The wizard with the source of magic is called the Dawn Wizard, which means the birth of a new era.
In fact, this is indeed the case.
Due to the invention of the source of magic, the ancient wizard civilization greatly reduced the difficulty of becoming a wizard. Coupled with the in-depth study of numerous knowledge, almost everyone can become a wizard, and it has become an era of universal wizards, thus creating an amazing civilization. .
But in the end, this civilization was destroyed in an unknown catastrophe, and the secrets of the Apocalypse Wizard were also buried. Only the inheritance of the Dawn Wizard survived with difficulty. This led to the fact that no one in the current world can become the Apocalypse Wizard and can only choose Become a wizard of the dawn.
In fact, due to the incompleteness of too much inherited knowledge, only a small number of people are talented enough to become wizards of the dawn. This is similar to the early days of ancient wizard civilization. However, it is undeniable that the real Apocalypse Wizard is much stronger than the Dawn Wizard... "
After a long time, Richard read the entire record and murmured to himself: "Wizard of the Apocalypse, Wizard of the Dawn? It turns out that what he was emanating from really existed and had been realized a long time ago. This... interesting… "
"So... can I try to develop as an Apocalypse Wizard?" Richard said quietly in the study room late at night.
