Chapter 134: Cloud Shadow in August 1998
Cloud Shadow in August 1998
The teacher who helped me literacy asked me to purchase earth-based magic tools and water-based magic tools for apprentice mages. I restrained myself and asked her what she thought. I went to the magic guild in the upper city to buy magic tools, and looked at the exquisite treasures on the shelves. Feeling bewildered.
Magic is definitely not something that ordinary people are qualified to touch. An apprentice mage can buy six bottles of scar-removing medicine with one of the cheapest earth-based magic tools "Fayu". Rich.
No wonder someone said before that unless they had a family heirloom treasure, ordinary people with magical potential could only choose to join the army or become a vassal of a nobleman. Without financial support, ordinary people could not even cross the threshold.
Most of the equipment dedicated to magicians has their own names. For example, the items used by apprentices to cast spells are called "magic tools". Once they become full-fledged magicians, the magic-casting items they use will be called "noble tools".
Compared with the "magic tools" inlaid with low-level Warcraft crystal cores used by the apprentices, the "noble tools" of the formal magicians are more complicated to make, and the materials are more sophisticated and sophisticated. Basically, they are not for sale. It can be redeemed by "contribution" in the magic guild.
I can only learn four types of magic in school, but after I got to know the young mage in charge of the shop a little, I realized that the two courses of "faith" and "war dance" among the fourteen subjects are also included in the caster, but These two courses do not require magical talent like the four science courses. "Faith" requires the learner's unswerving belief, and "war dance" requires the learner to have extraordinary beauty and charisma. These two courses are in The corresponding magic tools can also be equipped in the study, because the crystal core is not used, and the price is relatively cheap.
What's interesting is that the "summoning" subject does not require magic tools of a fixed faction, that is to say, any magic tool can be used, as long as there are crystal cores, the magical creatures of the corresponding faction can be summoned.
There are many types of apprentice-level "magic tools" sold by the Magic Guild, far more than the four types owned by the school. In fact, I also saw four types of thunder, ice, wind, and poison here. The young mage told me these four The threshold for using this kind of magic is very high. Generally, only spellcasters with deep family background will buy it, and the price is generally higher.
The variety of magic tools is really dazzling, and the magic tools that can be selected from each department are very rich. Earth magic can range from the most common orbs, magic wands, pendulums, magic books to rare headbands, bracelets, brooches, and necklaces. The common feature is that they are all inlaid with a khaki spar about the size of an almond, with a faint light lingering on it, making people feel the intimacy of wanting to touch.
As an apprentice, there is no need to spend money on expensive instruments. I bought an entry-level "fa jade", about the size of an apple, with dense patterns engraved on the blue-gray stone beads, and a khaki crystal. The stone is inlaid in the center of the pattern. The seller said that he usually holds the unpatterned side of the magic jade with his hand. When he wants to absorb it, he buckles the other hand. When the hand touches the crystal core, it will automatically start to absorb magic power and enter the casting state. .
As a "Xinnen" who has not learned magic, I would definitely not dare to absorb magic power rashly. Fayu was kept in a box and waited for me to take it away.
There are also many types of water magic tools. In addition to magic beads, magic rings, and magic books, there are also hexagrams unique to water magic.
Before I came here, my literacy teacher told me that water-based magic tools can choose hexagram cards. Although there are usually several or dozens of hexagram cards to make up a set, each hexagram card is regarded as a separate magic tool. Trigrams are inexpensive and versatile, making them the most affordable option.
The Lvyingying brand looks like a jadeite material. It is still surrounded by a sea-blue crystal surrounded by complex lines. The faint water vapor is very cool and comfortable to hold in the hand.
The two instruments made my wallet suffer again, so I packed them and went home in a hurry. I have to study and study their usage.
The knowledge obtained from the literacy teacher is that the magic tool can limit the outflow of magic power, so that the magic power in the crystal core will not be exhausted at one time. The crystal core has the characteristics of self-recovery. use.
Looking back now, the crystal nucleus that the witch doctor aunt gave me was not protected by the engraving of the magic tool.
Looking at the textbook of elementary magic, the content introduced in the book is almost the same as what the literacy teacher said. What talented students need to learn after possessing magic tools is how to absorb the magic power of magic tools stably without harming themselves. .
I stood on the island holding the Fayu, took a deep breath and held the Fayu in my left hand according to the instructions in the book, gently covered the surface where the spar was with my right hand, and then pulled it away...
A long khaki chain spread out like a rainbow. Linked to me like a strong earth magic power enveloped me, the power around me was unprecedentedly active in the lingering glow, and I entered the so-called "caster state".
There is a seal carving pattern, and the light strips in the spar are very uniform, as if the release speed was deliberately slowed down. After a full quarter of an hour, the curved light strips gradually weakened and completely dissipated, and the lingering light on my body did not immediately disappear. It subsided, and it lasted for another five minutes before disappearing completely.
Twenty minutes. As a beginner spellcaster, I can maintain the spellcasting state for twenty minutes. In principle, after learning to hold a spell, I can construct the magic that I want to cast within the precious twenty minutes. After completing a basic defensive spell After the "earth shield" runs out of mana, it waits for up to thirty hours to recharge.
At the beginning, I was still thinking that one magic tool can keep ordinary apprentices in the state of being a spellcaster for 20 minutes. Can one more magic tool double the casting time?
This is not the case. Humans are very sensitive to the magic power absorbed in the crystal core. Absorbing magic power from different crystal cores in a short time can easily cause disorder, which can damage the body and spirit at light level, or suffer from mental illness or disability at worst. Therefore, most mages will only choose There are one or two fixed tools to cultivate proficiency. The more familiar you are, the better the effect and the more stable the performance.
I am very fortunate that I can enter the "caster" state by absorbing the magic power in the crystal core like a normal caster, but I also have a special situation, that is, I find that after absorbing the magic power of the crystal core, the magic power does not change with time. It will all dissipate as time goes on, but a small part will be "retained" by my body, which is mainly manifested as a small increase in my own specific functions.
I have used superpowers for many years. I know very well where the limit of my ability is and how much I have grown recently. I can now feel the real improvement after I absorbed the magic power. Although the magnitude is small, it cannot be ignored.
The apprentice was not allowed to touch the second magic tool for the same day or so, so thirty hours after I touched the water-based magic tool, my hand touched the azure blue crystal, and the blurred blue light band was drawn into it. On me, the lively scent of water in the air fascinates me.
I have always been able to clearly feel the breath of soil and rocks, but I am very insensitive to water. My ability to control water is much weaker than that of rocks and sand. At this moment, I finally feel the purity and elegance of water.
I raised my hands and instinctively let a stream of water rise up from the lake like a snake and revolve around me.
This is not a normal caster form. The book says that apprentice mages can better feel where the water is after absorbing magic power and resonating with the water, but they can't directly control the water around them like me. This is not normal.
In fact, the abnormality was behind. The trickle-like blue light band was flowing too slowly, which made me feel restless. Crystal core, I began to swallow and siphon the magic power in it, and a tidal wave of light chains hit my whole body. I soon felt extremely tired, and went back to the room to sleep with satisfaction.
It was a very comfortable sleep. I slept for nine hours before waking up. My parents were worried about me, and they were relieved to see that I was refreshed.
I felt my greatly enhanced affinity with water, and realized that I was probably very different from other spellcasters, and mastered a completely different method of using the core.
I read a lot of books and it says that spellcasters cannot keep magical powers in their bodies, spellcasters are just containers, like electrical appliances, electrical appliances must use batteries to work, and they cannot function without batteries, and I Not the same, I can completely consume a battery, and then have the function of generating electricity by myself.
My hexagram card was destroyed by me, but my ability to control the flow of water was almost several times stronger than before. I have always disliked the feeling of being separated from the earth after being surrounded by water, but now it has completely changed.
After jumping into the water and being wrapped in water, every cell in my body was screaming and cheering. The water around me became an extension of me, and every movement I made affected them involuntarily. I was swimming faster than before, almost You can't feel the resistance, and you can even feel the thrust that can send and receive freely.
In this way, my second ability was unlocked unexpectedly, and since then rivers and lakes have also embraced me, I no longer fear water, it has become my comfort zone of attachment.
I can't do it without magic tools. I went to buy another hexagram card. When I went to buy something, I chatted with the mage who was watching the shop for a while, and I asked him why beasts can control the power of elements by instinct, but human spellcasters can't. He told me that the reason is that the body of the beast has organs that store magic power, such as the "crystal nucleus". We humans do not have a crystal nucleus in our body, so we cannot store magic power, and we can only use magic tools to temporarily use magic power.
I don't know if I have a crystal nucleus, but there is no doubt that I have the ability to store my own magic power. The way I use magic power is no different from that of a monster. I can be regarded as a humanoid monster.
I asked the mage if there was any record of human mage being able to store magic power in his body, he nodded and said yes, but such people usually have a very short lifespan, and suffer from physical distortions at a very young age, causing them to suffer from serious diseases and suffering. die.
I can't believe my ears.
Among spellcasters, being able to store magic power in one's body turned out to be a terminal illness.
The mage saw that I didn't understand, and explained it to me. He said that the body structure of most human beings determines that magic cannot be stored in the human body for a long time. In fact, this is not a defect, but a good thing.
The active magic power has the function of changing the caster's body. The more magic is used, the more changes the caster's body will produce due to the erosion of magic power. Usually these changes are harmful and can disperse the magic power in time. Leaving the caster state is in fact a self-protection mechanism, and people who lack this protection mechanism will suffer from 'immersion', unable to control their growing magic power, and die helplessly in the severe disease of the body.
Afraid that I wouldn't believe it, he also recommended a few books to me. He said that the series of distortions that occurred in the bodies of monsters after possessing magic storage organs is a good proof of the "magic harmfulness theory". The general intelligence of monsters has been improved, and It is more destructive because of manipulating magic, but at the cost of infertility, the change of shape is no longer accepted by compatriots, and it is more vulnerable to attacks by humans and other beasts... It is not so much that the talent of awakening magic is a gift from heaven for animals, but Rather a curse.
The human body is more fragile, and the accumulated magic power cannot be well controlled, and will die due to the explosion accompanying the awakening of magic power. Like a ghost and not like a ghost, it is also a dead end.
OK, got it.
I thought I had a golden finger, I thought I was very drawn, but I didn't expect that in the eyes of others, I was disabled, no, I was a dead person.
