Chapter 42: The Royal Academy of Magic (5)
Victor said: "Electricity magic is fast, for example, this lightning spell only needs nineteen characters, and the release time is 2 seconds, but if you reduce the magic spell, the release time of the lightning spell will not be reduced, it will only reduce the power of the magic." Therefore, an intermediate mage of the electric system will not think about the cast speed, but will try to increase the number of casts. On the contrary, fire-based magic is powerful, such as fireball, which requires fifty magic characters, but if you reduce some of the magic spells, it will make the fireball spell cast speed faster by more than 30%, of course, the cost is that the power becomes very small. This kind of improvement is meaningless under normal circumstances, but it can be useful when encountering an electric mage. ”
Victor said this, and deliberately paused to give everyone time to think.
Ryan and Elendor glanced at each other, I don't know if it was a coincidence, the example Victor gave turned out to be the one where Ryan fought against the thief wizard Vir in Giethoorn.
Victor continued, "If I were that fire mage, the first fireball would use an improved version, preferring to compress the power and speed up the release time. This is almost three seconds before it can be released. ”
Speaking of this, Victor pointed sideways to the two white figures on the black stone wall and said, "Please watch the demo." ”
I saw that the villain on the black stone wall each automated a few times, and the villain on the left released a thread-shaped magic, and when the thread-like magic flew to half the distance between the two, the villain on the right released a ball-shaped magic, and the two magics met close to the villain on the right.
Victor explained, "Lightning and Fireball are not the same magic, so the magic energy cannot be canceled out, so if they collide, they will explode. The flames after the explosion can obscure the view of the electro mage. We know that there is no way for an electro mage to unleash lightning without being able to see where the target is ready. In this way, the fire mage gained valuable release time, enough time for him to unleash a full fireball spell before the entire flame barrier dissipated. Fireball doesn't require the opponent's precise position, and even if the attack is off, its wide area of damage is enough to ripple through the electro mage. ”
Speaking of which, the villain on the right on the black stone wall released another circular magic, hitting the villain on the left, and the villain on the left shook a few times and disappeared.
Victor said: "What a classic example, the fire mage, with his familiarity with the fluctuations of the fire element and his understanding of the electric magic, skillfully improved his magic, and then turned the unfavorable situation into a favorable situation, and finally won the victory. ”
When everyone heard this, they began to talk about the example given by Victor. Ryan and Elendor looked at each other again, was it really just a coincidence that the technique used in this example was Ryan's method of defeating the thief mage Ville?
Victor waited for a moment before saying, "Okay, let's move on." When a magician can master a series of magicians, he can generally be promoted to a junior magician, to this point, the magician will encounter a bottleneck, continue to study the magic of the department, you will find that to be promoted to the next level, that is, the intermediate magician needs a considerable amount of strength, otherwise you will not be able to release the magic required for promotion, this is a long process. In order to cope with this situation, a minor in magic from another department has become the method used by most people. ”
"As we all know, the fire system kills greatly, the electric system explodes violently, the ice system has strong control, and the earth system is good at defense...... Each line of magic has its own characteristics, and the body of a mage is fragile, so most people choose to minor in a line of magic that can increase their sense of security. For example, he is good at fire magic, minor in ice magic, uses ice for protection and control, and uses fire's wide area of lethality to kill enemies to win. There are also those who choose to strengthen the department they are good at, so that their attack power is sharper, and their own protection is left to their trusted companions. ”
"No matter how it is matched, you must have your own characteristics, and don't blindly learn from others. ”
"As the power of magic increases, gradually, spells that I couldn't release with all my might can be used easily, and a strong confidence fills my mind, as long as I can make a move, what else can't I do?"
"Gradually, a lot of people will lose their way. We don't study magic for the sake of great power, we learn magic for pleasure and to help others. If you put all your mind on the pursuit of power, you will go further and further down the path of magic, even to gain power at all costs, and eventually fall. ”
"Many magicians full of talent have thus degenerated into dark magicians, and even do not hesitate to sign a pact with demons, exchanging their flexibility for ethereal power. ”
"The Church of Light is the natural enemy of the dark mage, and it only takes a small hammer of light to completely destroy the body of the dark mage, without the support of the body, or you can consider transforming into a lich. ”
A burst of laughter was heard among the students, apparently happy with Victor's witty words.
Victor cleared his throat and said loudly, "Time flies quickly, and my lesson is almost here." Today I gave two examples that illustrate two very important things. First, 'There is no useless magic, only incompetent magicians', and as long as you are proficient in using it, even the lowest level of illumination can be very useful, and second, 'instead of pursuing the most powerful power, it is better to use every one of your powers with precision.'" 'The victory of the fire mage over the electric mage is a good example. ”
"Okay, that's all I have for it, if you have any questions, but only one per person, and only when the bell rings. ”
"Victor ** Master, may I ask, which department is your major in magic?"
Victor smiled and said, "This classmate obviously didn't read the "Encyclopedia of Magic" seriously, since he can be promoted to a great magician, he is naturally proficient in the whole department. ”
Amid the laughter of the crowd, the magic apprentice who asked the question sat down embarrassedly.
"May I ask Master Victor, do you think trainee magicians like us are pursuing a better spell casting speed, or are they pursuing a higher number of spells?"
Victor thought for a moment and replied, "This question cannot be generalized, for example, if you have a few good companions, you can hand them over to him during the battle, and you can consider the number of releases; Of course, there are no absolutes in the world, there are always special cases, and the best way is to do both. ”
Faras listened to Victor's words, put her head to Ryan's ear, and whispered, "Look, what he said is so good, basically all the possibilities have been finished by him." ”
