Chapter 123: Improvements in Spell Casting Methods

In the blink of an eye, many days have passed, and Richard's research on free energy elements has been preliminarily completed.

Night, study.

On his desk, Richard held a quill pen and wrote quickly on a papyrus scroll, making a summary.

"Through continuous testing in recent days, it can be basically determined that the previous hypothesis is correct, and the free energy element is the super-heavy nuclear stable island element that has not yet been discovered on the earth in theory, or does not exist.

The current energy flow framework of the world's wizard spell system is as follows:

The special radiant energy of a special star is transmitted to the current planet through astral projection. Some ordinary chemical elements on the current planet, after absorbing the energy projected by the star, turn into free energy elements through some unknown way of nuclear fusion.

After that, the wizard or the wizard's apprentice, through meditation, out of the body, ingests these energy elements into the body, smelts them into mana, and stores them in the source of the law.

When it is time to cast a spell to fight, the mana will pour out from the source of the spell, flow in the body, run along some natural channels in the body, or blood vessels, or nerves, or veins, and finally reach a specific excited state and be released.

After being released, the mana will automatically change, first turning into different free energy elements, and then different free energy elements will react with each other, showing a spell effect and bursting power.

After the spell is successfully released, the free energy element will turn back into a normal chemical element, and when it absorbs enough star projection energy, it will become a free energy element again, completing a cycle.

The simple process of the entire framework is as follows:

The energy of the special star โ†’ free energy elementโ†’ manaโ†’ free energy elemental โ†’ spell effect. โ€

From this process, it can be seen that the free energy element can manifest a spell effect on its own, but for the safety of storage, it must first be smelted into mana, and when the spell is cast, it can be transformed back into a free energy element through some form of reverse smelting. The two transformations in the middle must be accompanied by a high amount of energy loss. Moreover, in the process of casting the spell, because the mana is reversed into a free energy element, the release rate of the spell will be delayed to a certain extent. โ€

At this point, Richard's quill paused for a moment, pursed his lips and wrote a line.

"Is it possible to improve this obviously flawed way of casting?"

When he was done, Richard put down his quill and began to think seriously.

Yes, the current way of casting spells in the world has its drawbacks, and there is room for improvement.

This may sound funny, but isn't the reason why the magic system is studied is to analyze, improve and master, and finally figure out the lowest scientific principles.

To study something, to imitate it, to improve it, and then to do it better than it is precisely one of the characteristics of science on the modern earth, or rather the rogueism.

Science is not rigid, and real science is not a bunch of theorems, but a way of understanding the world, and the whole open system developed from it.

Science is exploratory, from the very beginning of steam thermodynamics, to electromagnetism, to computer science, to quantum science, all of which are constantly being discovered, and then incorporated into the system and becoming a part of it. Even if some kind of unexplained paranormal phenomenon does appear on the modern earth, science will quickly establish a supernatural discipline to study, analyze, and accommodate.

And from a scientific point of view, the current popular way of casting spells in the world definitely has shortcomings and can be improved. Of course, this improvement is not a small difficulty, but isn't that the purpose of science - to solve the problems encountered?

So how should the casting method be improved, and what problems need to be solved?

Richard's eyes flashed, and he picked up the quill and wrote on the papyrus scroll.

"Rustling ......"

"The obvious place where the casting method can be improved is to reduce the process links, remove the process of smelting and reverse smelting, and directly use free energy elements to release spells. This will speed up the cast speed and reduce energy loss.

Of course, there are also problems, and there are two main ones. The first is the issue of security, and the second is the issue of increasing the complexity of casting.

As for the first safety issue, it must be faced that if the free energy elements are not smelted and stored in large quantities in the body for a long time, they will be extremely unstable. Because reactions may occur between free energy elements, it is equivalent to pouring numerous chemical reagents into a beaker. There is a great possibility that the beaker will be fried directly into powder. โ€

So how to solve it?

Richard stopped thinking about it.

The solution to this problem is actually very simple, and the most thorough way is to separate and store all the free energy elements from each other.

After all, there is not only one source of law!

Yes, there is not only one source of law, as long as you have enough energy and time, you can open up dozens or hundreds of source of law.

Through a period of research, there are about dozens of types of free energy elements that have been identified so far, but the most commonly used energy elements of plastic energy spells are only nine: water element, wind element, fire element, earth element, wood element, thunder element, dark energy element, light energy element, and pure energy element.

It may be an exaggeration to open up a law source for each element, but it is still possible to open up a relatively small law source for each of the nine elements of the plastic energy spell.

However, one of the most troublesome methods is that there is no need to open up new sources of law at all, and only need to transform them.

It only needs to be separated from a few independent spaces inside the original Dharma Source to store different free energy elements.

Problem solving.

"Rustle", Richard squinted and quickly wrote the solution into the scroll, and then wrote another line: "Then how to solve the second problem?"

"The second problem is the increase in the complexity of casting. Richard wrote with a quill pen, "To release a spell with mana, you only need to control the mana to run and reach a specific activated state to release, and then the mana will transform into a specific free energy element in the activated state by itself."

However, if you choose to cast a spell with only free energy elements, a single free energy element is relatively simple, but when the spell model becomes complex, requiring a variety of different free energy elements, different channels in the body, and running in separate strands, the difficulty will become extremely high, and the required brain computing power will be extremely high. Just like some people may be born and may be able to do two things at a time, but what about three uses, four uses, and ten uses?

According to the chapter of Monroe, the brain's computing power is a key criterion for advancing to a higher wizard rank.

This is because spells with a higher number of rings must have a more complex spell model, and they must use more mana to run in the body. It is necessary to strictly control the mana that runs without errors, and ensure that several bursts of mana reach the activated state at the same time and are released together to ensure the success of the spell, otherwise it will lead to the failure of the spell and cause backlash. โ€
