"Isn't this amazing?" Zhao Xu was a little unbelievable.
"It's not that magical, it's just that it's the price of two specialties." Antinoya explained.
Zhao Xu nodded. Arthur had some powerful specialties, which had prerequisite specialties and even professional level requirements.
This is also the reason why many players are helpless in the later stages. Unless they specially customize it from scratch, who knows this.
Basically, most of those who can meet the expertise requirements happen to have this prerequisite expertise, thus meeting the requirements.
The freedom to choose spells is even more meaningful.
After the mages have more spells and do a good job of intelligence work before doing the mission, the spell arrangements for the day can basically be adapted to most situations on site.
It's just that you are afraid of the eventuality in everything. If you can't cast a spell that can solve the problem, it often stumps a large number of mages.
If you prepare a scroll, the scroll costs money.
Unlike the spell slots that can't be used up every day, the remaining ones can't be discounted.
Once Zhao Xu can cast spells freely, he is basically free to fly.
Warlocks, for example, can cast spells spontaneously and release the spells they master at will. The price is that they can only learn a few spells at each level, and it is difficult to learn more.
There are dozens or hundreds of spells at each level, and six or seven spells can't cover them. This is why Arthur praises the magic master more and worships the more charming magic master less.
"Teacher, I'll learn." Zhao Xu directly stated his expectations without even asking for specific details.
"Don't worry, I'll talk to you first."
"The specialty that allows you to cast spells freely is called 'Strange Seer', but the prerequisite for choosing him is the specialty of 'Spell Familiarity'."
Immediately afterwards, Antinoya began to tell the details of the two specialties.
The expertise content also appears directly on Zhao Xu's character card panel, making it easier for him to browse.
This is also one of the benefits of becoming a level 1 professional.
[Expert: Spell Proficiency
Prerequisite: Wizard level 1
Benefit: Each time you choose this feat, you can choose a number of spells known equal to your Intelligence modifier. Thereafter, these spells can be prepared without a spellbook.]
This expertise sounds really useless to Zhao Xu. It is equivalent to some spells that can be prepared without a spell book, and are engraved in his heart just like him.
However, as a wise spellcaster, he was born to be able to prepare spells without a spell book.
Thinking of this, Zhao Xu could only shake his head and said that it was trivial.
[Specialty: Bizarre Seer
Prerequisites: Intelligence 17, proficiency in spells.
Effect: When preparing to memorize daily spells, you can reserve spell slots equal to your Intelligence modifier.
1. As a standard action, you can use a reserved spell slot to cast any spell that you are familiar with and that is not higher than the level of the spell slot.
2. As a full-round action, you can use a reserved spell slot to cast any spell you know that is not higher than the spell slot level, but the caster level of the spell is reduced by 2.]
Looking at this specialty, Zhao Xu was secretly frightened. There were limitations, but they were within an acceptable range.
His 3 points of intelligence adjustment value can leave 3 spell slots, which means he has 3 opportunities to freely cast spells.
To deal with emergencies, the initial stage is enough.
The only limit to this feat is the casting time.
He can cast spells relatively quickly (standard action) if he picks those with spell proficiency.
Without the Spell Mastery option, it takes 6 seconds to cast the spell (a full-round action).
After half a month of training, Zhao Xu already knew all kinds of basic mage knowledge.
Generally, the casting time of spells is fixed in several ways: swift action (instant), standard action, full-round action (6 seconds), and the rest are longer.
Arthur distinguished time in rounds (6 seconds).
This setting is due to various factors, including one.
That is, the caster can only release one 'standard' + one 'swift' spell every round, or directly a 'full round' spell.
The mirage spell Antinoya released before was probably based on this bizarre foresight ability.
In one round, she was casting spells for a full 6 seconds.
Otherwise, Antinoya would not go out of his way to prepare this kind of illusion after having a full meal and nothing to do.
Even if you go against heaven, you must follow this rule honestly.
Generally, a mage can only release one or two spells within 6 seconds, and everyone knows this when fighting.
There won't be dozens of spells with fast casting times being thrown out like machine guns.
Otherwise, there is no need to fight this fight. Kneel down and beg for mercy first.
The casting time is a "standard action" and depends on the individual's level. Generally, the difference is not big, usually a few seconds. Once you are familiar with it, you can compress it a little more and it depends on your own level.
The casting time is a "quick action", that is, it is thrown out instantly, but generally if you want to release a quick spell, it is expensive.
Therefore, low-level mages like them often just cast a "standard move" spell in one round.
These are all digressions.
The real problem is that Zhao Xu does not have 17 intelligence.
He saved 3 purchase points and used them on other attributes, and his intelligence was only 16 points.
At this time, Zhao Xu could only look at Antinoya in embarrassment, as if he wanted to help.
Antinoya also knew that he did not have 17 points of intelligence. At the same time, the apprentice badge that Zhao Xu had fantasized about at that time had long since proved that he had no intelligence.
"Now I know, 17 points of intelligence is also useful. Although compared with 16 points of intelligence, it won't produce a little more spell slots, and the difficulty of saving throws won't be increased at all, but it can become a roadblock."
Listening to Antinoya's complaints, an uncle like Zhao Xu, who lived thirty years in his previous life, naturally licked his face and asked for advice.
Although the old mage would respect Antinoya as his teacher, Antinoya said before that she had received the ninth-level spell "Timeless Traces", and her mental and physical growth had remained the same as a year ago.
It’s not about rejuvenating, but locking in the state of things that happened at that time.
So over the years, her experience has increased, but her mentality is still very young, and there will be no traces of time.
Otherwise, if it were an old woman, he wouldn't be able to look like this.
"You have two paths now."
When Zhao Xu heard this, he just wanted to complain. He was always given two ways, but in reality there was only one way, but it was better than no way.
"One way is to wait until level 4 to improve your intelligence attributes, and then to have a new level of expertise at level 6 before you master this ability."
After hearing this, Zhao Xu shook his head. The window period across level 5 was too long.
He is not the protagonist of the novel. The adventures he encounters are all arranged by the author, and the spells he naturally prepares can be used.
Seeing Zhao Xu's reaction, Antinoya continued directly.
"The other option is, forget it, I'll be at a disadvantage. I promised you to release the 'Timeless Trace' spell of eternal life once as a reward for joining our organization."
"Now you can exchange it for a 'Prayer' spell, and I will help you increase the intrinsic bonus of intelligence by 1 point."

PS2: [] The ones in parentheses are the official version that players have seen. They definitely cannot be spoken in that way. It doesn’t matter if everyone can’t understand it. It will not affect you if you skip it. It is just for the convenience of those who want to know more.
