56 Episode 55 Lets make a new magic! (2/2)

The word ”explode” is definitely one of them.

However, simply chanting the word ”explode,” even if it is powerful, does not make it magic.

In order to make it magic, we have to specify the result to some extent and fit it into a mold.

However, even in specifying the result, if you don't prepare and control words and phrases that will not be defeated by the [explosion], the magic will immediately go out of control.

”If you stand up for yourself, you will not stand up for yourself. ......

You want to shorten the spell, but you also want to increase the effect. But if you want to use powerful words, you need to make the spell longer.

However, for everyday use, we want to keep the spell to about five verses, and each verse should be as short as possible.

For this purpose, we use the following spell-creation techniques.

The repetition method.

This is a technique of using the same words repeatedly to strengthen them intensively.

It is not found in any magic textbook, and is a technique that I discovered by myself while searching for the rules of spells.

It is simply a matter of repeating the same word several times in succession.

This concentrates the effect and reinforces it, making the spell more powerful.

The spell is at its best when you repeat it three times.

The other thing to keep in mind is simplicity.

There is no point in adding too many words and phrases.

With this in mind, I will cast the spell I have created.

”--minute. Fine. Fine. Explode.

The image is an explosion on the ground ten meters in front of you.

Immediately after the chanting ends, the [Arts Glyphs] scatter around the area and eventually converge towards the target point.

It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for, and how you're going to get there.

There was no sign of an explosion.

It failed.

”No? ......

I groaned, but it was nothing to be disappointed about.

This is the way it always is. It's not every day that a spell you create succeeds in one shot. The creation of magic is done by preparing a number of spell candidates, extracting the one with the best effect, and improving it further.

If the spells are so shallow that they can be easily created, there is no way they can be used in a wide variety of ways.

Probably, the current failure is due to too much force to suppress the power.

Because of the overuse of the word ”minute,” the power to weaken has exceeded the power of the word ”explode.

The word ”fine” is not a good one to begin with, so even if it works, I will probably improve it.

Next, he began to chant another spell.

(If it's a bad idea to use too many of the same words...)

This time, I'll try to make it more powerful than before, incorporating other words.

”--fine. Fine. Transfer. Blast it big.

Chanting.

But until the effect occurs, the [Arts Glyphs] move in roughly the same manner as before.

Eventually, a small burst of fireworks erupts in front of you. It was a small burst, like a firecracker popping. There is almost no combustion or heat, and there is nothing aggressive about it.

This is no good. It doesn't even serve to startle the opponent.

Besides, there is no need for a spell with such a role at the moment, because there is a spell called Astonish Bubble that I made before.

It's not a complete failure because it looks more like an explosion than before. ......

Then, I should make it without any technique.

Of course, we need to suppress the power of the word, so we need to use more words.

However, if you just use repetition, the power of the magic will be suppressed too much, and you will not get the desired result.

So, what should we do?

We have to make the magic controllable by reducing the ...... effect and power to some extent. Therefore, we need a few words to reduce the power. Hence the irregularity of replacing all three repetitions with different words, while providing tone and rhyme, and adding a word to the last part [blast] that reduces the power.

After that, I'm going to work on the image a little more.

Instead of gathering together haphazardly, the scattered [arts glyphs] will gather together and connect with each other to form a magic circle. This creates a premonition of an explosion. Eventually, they gradually contract, limiting the target of the explosion. Causes a small explosion.

Imagine a single target, or four or five people if involved.

This time, the target is a stone randomly placed in the garden.

(How about this!)

Chanting with the hope of success.

”--minimal. Joining. Focus. A small explosion!

When you chant the spell, the randomly scattered [Arts Glyphs] gather together to form a circle and further form a formation. The magic power draws the ink and forms straight lines, circles, and polygons around the letters to form a geometric pattern, creating a magic circle.

The magic circle will contract as you envisioned, narrowing as if you were grasping your hand while visualizing the magic circle drawing the target.

Finally, he squeezed the narrowing hand tightly, and the magic circle crushed at the same time.

It was right after that.

The red and orange flames of the explosion expanded in a black cloud.

The roar and impact of the explosion combined to strike my body.

I felt the heat, but then, instead of the sound dying out of my ears, came a keening sound from beyond.

A burning smell wafted in the air, and between my eyes I saw the ground gouged out as if it had been shelled. Crushed stone.

If you look up, you will see shattered [Arts Glyphs] flying up into the sky in a cloud of black smoke.

”I did it ......, I did it ......!

I muttered over and over again, trapped in the euphoria of success.

It was still too powerful to be controlled, but it was a definite success.

Only four verses. This power in only four verses is unparalleled.

Because it does not contain a codification, the result is a simple phenomenon that only generates an explosion, but this alone is powerful enough.

Even though the time it takes for the effect to take effect and the distance over which the effect can take effect are not as great as the [Flamrerun], the power is comparable to it.

In addition, the amount of magic power consumed has been reduced to some extent.

The three words may have had an effect in this regard.

I felt a definite sense of satisfaction that I had created a practical magic, and I was filled with joy.

After all, magic is interesting. It is precisely because of this trial and error that the joy of success is so great.

...... In the future, we should continue to create spells that consume less magic power and require less chanting.

However, explosions are still hard on the ears.

I'll have to make some earplugs with the Mark.

I need to make some earplugs with the mark.” He was thinking about making earplugs with his arms crossed, while his heart was filled with the aftermath of his success.

”Hey, Arx. I'm sorry to bother you for a moment.

”Yes, Uncle, what's wrong ......?

When I turned around at the sound of a familiar voice, there was my uncle with a beautiful smile.

Yes, a very nice smile.

A shiver ran up my spine at the sight of him.

A chill went down my spine.

Intuitively, you realize that this is a sign of anger.

But I have no idea what's wrong with me.

Then Crabbe said

”You know what? I don't mind that you're trying to make magic, but I don't think you should be doing this.　Hmm?

”This?　............ Oh.

He looked at the place where he had just used the explosion spell.

But the earth had been dug up by the magic, and it was a mess.

Messed up.

Very messed up.

No, this is, you know...

”Think about your location!　You're a no-talent!

Go on, go on, go on.

Geeeeeeaaahhhh!

As a result of my efforts to create magic, I ended up having my head gouged by bulky muscles and fists.
