Chapter 16 (1/2)
Ayn Rand's notes are not only neat but also detailed, with beautiful and neat lines of writing, even Lauren himself laments Furu. He was also very careful and added notes in all necessary places. From the front of the ink on the parchment, these notes were added later, which was obviously prepared for himself.
Sure enough, the little wizard had no reason to become Dalton kand's Apprentice. Although the whole note basically involves all disciplines, the content of alchemy is still the most detailed. The components of the whole two pages distinguish the differences between different crucibles and temperatures, as well as the refining process and material acquisition of the eight most common alchemical products.
This knowledge will certainly help a lot in the future, but what Lauren cares about most now is not this. After turning back a few pages, he found the content of spell learning.
”Turn the impossibility into reality and let the world witness the miracles created by wizards - but remember, your most powerful spell is still your clear and rational mind.”
Good opening, Lauren shrugged his shoulders. He quite agrees with this view - weapons, knowledge and magic are all tools to achieve goals. Excessive pursuit is to abandon the basics.
In the notes, magic is only roughly divided into low-level and high-level, and the latter only mentioned the word. Obviously, Loren can't expect to learn any profound spells in an apprentice's notes.
According to ayin's explanation, using a magic can be roughly divided into two steps - first, you must build this spell in your own spiritual palace to complete the process of memory; Secondly, take your own body as the magic carrier to release the prepared magic.
In short, the spiritual palace is the cartridge case, and you are the gun body, and magic and spells are the bullets from the fireworks.
But just like the muzzle of a gun will overheat, because the process of casting a spell must use your own body as the carrier, which means that in the process of casting a spell, you will come into contact with the power of emptiness, which will inevitably cause damage to the body. And at the same time, we can't stop the connection with the spiritual palace, which will also produce some spiritual oppression.
However, this one can be basically ignored by Loren. He is not afraid of any void erosion at all. Using magic will make him feel tired at most. Just be careful not to let his spiritual power dry up completely.
Next comes the spell... There are only two spells recorded in the little wizard's notes - ”firefly spell” and ”hovering spell”.
The previous Loren has seen it with his own eyes - this is a very practical magic. It can replace a torch to illuminate in too dark places, and control the size at will. It can even be used as a flash bomb at critical moments.
Another ”hovering spell” is more interesting. The description of the spell ayin is vague. It is roughly to manipulate something in a short distance, but the strength is very weak, and it basically looks like a slight touch.
Think of the automatically closed door, and the little wizard's raised fingers at that time. Maybe he used this spell to close the door when everyone didn't pay attention?
This magic looks even more harmless than the ”fluorescent spell”. It can only be used when he is lazy or mischievous, but Loren still thinks of something else: for example, when facing the enemy, move the concealed weapon to his heel when the other party doesn't pay attention; Or deflect the arrow when it flies in front of you
Both are low-level magic, and the loss of spiritual power can be almost ignored. Loren hesitated a little and chose the ”fluorescent spell” - for no other reason, the practicability of this magic is almost necessary, whether in battle or life.
Think about it, is there anything more effective in combat than closing the enemy's vision instantly?
Following the steps mentioned in the notes, Loren closed his eyes, put his consciousness into meditation, and then began to build this magic in the spiritual palace.
