The Truth of Magic

Chapter 12: Spell slot

Views:

The novice mages of the Mage Association branch only learn how to cast spells, which is like taking a primary school test on the application of the commutative law and the associative law.

But for him to learn theory from scratch is equivalent to starting with Peano's axioms and asking him to deduce the entire system of arithmetic axioms.

It's not that it's useless, it's that it's not necessary for the time being.

Zhao Xu has ambitions, but no matter how good he can lay the foundation, he can't spend several to more than ten years like Arthur's native mage to become a level 1 mage.

Players basically take the crash route and directly learn how to cast spells and apply them, just like they don't learn calculus in high school and directly learn a bunch of derivation formulas.

Just make up the numbers if you know it but don't know why. Otherwise, the first mage among the players should graduate in one year instead of one week.

Instant Mage is a privilege granted by Arthur to these earth players.

Anyway, after a year, when players arrive in Arthur's world, they will have upgraded their character card's intelligence value, and will also be instilled with corresponding spell knowledge.

Even if it blows water, it can withstand the inspection of indigenous mages of the same level.

That's what happened naturally.

So Zhao Xu knew that he could cheat in a year, so naturally he didn't want to bite the bullet now.

After mage players in previous lives traveled through time, it basically took them a year and a half to fully digest the knowledge given by the system. Before that, few mages could successfully continue to upgrade.

"The teaching methods of Arcane Gate are different from those of ordinary branches." Antinoya said, "If we really want to mass-produce mid-level and low-level mages, we have the means ourselves, or the local branches are doing this kind of work. "

"So from the beginning, our training goal was to focus on legendary mages. Naturally, there is no need to rush you to become a level 1 mage."

Listening to Antinoya's words, Zhao Xu was a little confused.

He had an admission notice for a junior college degree, but only when he registered at school did he find out that he was going to get a direct Ph.D. in eight years

Even the undergraduate he is currently studying actually feels this way. For those who really want to work, a technical vocational school is enough. Their undergraduate courses are more of a knowledge system prepared in advance for a graduate degree.

Most people are just base numbers.

Zhao Xu understands and agrees with this approach. If you go to the highest school among mages and don't have some small goals, then your life is really like a dog.

The problem is, he just wants to be stubborn now.

He has the patience to spend a lot longer training, even if it takes several times longer than other players. only

That is based on the fact that he can learn more spells and gain access to more hidden and powerful expertise, paving the way for advanced careers in the future.

He can trade time for future combat power.

No, his mage knowledge system is more solid and reliable than other players.

Because the legendary mage's cake was really too far away for him, and he couldn't swallow it within a year.

His knowledge system is solid. He can draw spell models, deduce how to predict the structural transformation of spells, and knows the release critical value of evocation spells. However, it does not bring any improvement in the power of his fireball spell.

What can increase the power of a spell is either the caster's level, or abilities such as expertise.

If Zhao Xu takes the route of studying spells to improve his level, he must be a good chopping wood worker.

Unfortunately, he doesn't have to leave unless the earth travels to Arthur 20 years later.

Even with these, Zhao Xu couldn't refute Antinoya.

After understanding this, Zhao Xu could only frown and read the book.

No wonder I haven't heard much about player mages who were born in Mystra in my previous life. It seems that before time travel, I was stuck in Mystra to go to school.

Faced with this situation, Zhao Xu could only look blank, as if he was in his third year of high school again. He suddenly felt that the cashmere cushion on the chair was so hard that it hurt his buttocks.

If the book "Path of Arcane" was a simple history of magic, he would definitely not feel any pressure to read it. Zhao Xu could read everything from the history of physics to the history of mathematics to the chronicles of certain games and animations. People who enjoy themselves.

However, although this book starts from the ancient period of the Outer Gods, it only uses the evolution of magic as its context, constantly mentioning various mysterious concepts.

In the later stages of completing professional training, players will determine their skill system and decide whether to invest points.

However, even if you invest points, you must meet the preliminary requirements before you can increase your investment points.

Just like, upgrading is not a matter of course. You have to gather enough experience before you can go through the levels and decide whether you can upgrade.

Among them, the skill system includes knowledge type, which is divided into many categories, and you need to invest points in each to upgrade.

If Zhao Xu's knowledge (mystery) has an adjustment value of more than 30, he can also make a knowledge test and see if he can automatically retrieve some nouns.

Now, he can only treat Antinoya opposite him as a human-shaped dictionary to constantly search and read, although the efficiency is extremely low.

However, Zhao Xu didn't know at this time that he could open this book without being confused, and he had already received some kind of blessing.

As the reading progressed, Zhao Xu was able to read roughly without asking for a detailed explanation, but he became more and more confused until he read -

When it became clear that the spell slot was the goddess of magic, she suddenly felt emotional.

In Arthur's spell system, everyone, regardless of profession, uses spell slots instead of traditional magic values.

How many spells each person can cast every day is determined by his or her professional level, plus the additional spell slots brought by attribute values.

At the same time, each mage must rest for 8 hours and then meditate for an hour to determine the spell before he can call these spell slots.

That's right, both the mage and the priest have to spend an hour deciding what spell they want to cast that day, and there is no way to decide what spell this third-level spell slot will be used to cast at the end of the day.

At the same time, the spell slots used up will be gone and will not be restored after sitting down. Instead, you must still take a full 8 hours of rest before you can continue to prepare these spell slots the next day.

When mages learn spells, they have to copy them into their own spell books, and only in this way can they be used to prepare spells.

At the same time, as the spell level increases, the number of transcript pages also increases.

Therefore, unless the mages use the Goddess Blessing Book to copy spells, they have to carry heavy spell books with them.

If a mage loses his spell book, it's like a chef without kitchen utensils. No matter how many dishes you cook, you can't make any tricks.

Basically, many mages have been dragged down to the poverty line by copying spells. Unlike the priest, the magic is given by God, and he is left to prepare, so there is not so much trouble.

Such harsh conditions still make it difficult for mages to resist the odds. It is the mages' spell tables, specialties, advancements, and items that are all so powerful.

However, Zhao Xu is more concerned about what he wants to choose. According to Arthur's traditional rules, novice mages will be given a common free spell book, and apprentices can copy all zero-level spells into it for free. .

Basically a zero-level spell takes up half a page in a spell book, while a first-level spell takes up one page.

At the same time, you can also choose three free copies from the inventory of the local Mage Association.

In an era when everyone was broke, these three initial spells actually determined the initial combat power of novice mages.

Zhao Xu was reading the book, but he couldn't help but fantasize about which first-level spells he should choose.

In fact, there are no absolutes in many things. The Wisdom Heart caster's expertise does not require a spell book, but it would be troublesome to mention all the exceptions, because there are some contents that the protagonist has not been exposed to in his previous life.
