The principle of the 'sacrifice magic' created by Kolma - or 'sacrifice magic' or 'life magic' - is to sacrifice life to convert vitality into magic power, thereby improving the magician's spellcasting ability.
A long time ago, when the moral level of wizards was not so high, crude sacrificial magic appeared. But as the outer gods were forced into the depths of the stars, the wizards found more effective ways to cast spells and abandoned them.
This kind of bloody and cruel magic.
To this day, even in the depths of the First University Library, there is no such banned material.
Perhaps only ancient beings like Tsathoggua still retain the concepts of magical rituals related to sacrifice and feedback.
Zheng Qing listened to Kolma's introduction of 'Sacrifice Magic', and for some reason, he suddenly remembered the feeling he had when he walked into the North District of Beta Town - whenever he walked into this neighborhood where magicians gathered, he felt...
It feels like walking from the sun into the shadows, making people unable to help but wrap up their cloaks.
Even when the midday sun is at its brightest, this neighborhood gives people an eerie feeling.
Even if they have a way to perform real magic, this method makes people feel terrified. It seems that this world is not worthy of the bright sunshine, and anything precious and beautiful will be distorted and deformed after entering this neighborhood.
"This is indeed a problem." Jiang Yu's echoing voice interrupted the young public student's thoughts. He paid attention for a moment and then caught up with the rhythm of the chat in the tavern - two witches were discussing the legal risks of sacrificing the use of magic.
.
Because Korma's 'sacrifice magic' requires the consumption of the lives of innocent animals when used, this behavior forms a very obvious conflict with the relevant protection regulations for animals in the "Wizard's Code".
For example, in some emergency situations, if the wizard in the North District needs to use magic, and there happens to be no frogs around, only a rabbit or a mouse, then it will be difficult to avoid the wizard from affecting these small animals when using magic.
life.
"The Wizarding Code stipulates that killing small animals with 'malicious intent' is a crime." Colma has obviously studied the relevant regulations and was comfortable talking about this issue: "And the most severe penalty is only second-degree murder... in this case
When danger comes, the law is no more binding on wizards than morality. They have the right to choose to sacrifice animals to save themselves."
This is like the famous train moral paradox, whether to pull the rails and sacrifice one person to save a group of people, or to sit and watch the train run over a group of people. If the rails are pulled, does the person pulling the rails count as murder? Is his action considered murder?
Malicious?
Zheng Qing never wanted to bother with this kind of issue.
He preferred to imagine that he had the courage and strength of Heracles, and when the train rushed over, he lifted it over his shoulders and placed it firmly on the roadside.
Everyone is happy.
Of course, reality does not allow such a romantic thing to happen.
"There are many kinds of malice." Jiang Yu is playing the role of a harsh prosecutor Dan Hager, racking his brains to find errors in Kolma's logic: "For example, 'subjective malice', 'objective malice', 'real malice', etc."
Wait... the moment the North District wizard chose to sacrifice magic, he was naturally marked with 'real malice', which cannot be gotten rid of with simple excuses or legitimate rights of defense."
"Killing a rabbit may be classified as second-degree murder in the code, but the code does not cover all cases. Sir Braxton, a wizard born in Britain in the 18th century, once quoted in the "Explanation of the Wizarding Code" that "malicious complements" are used.
'Principles', including 'malice complements age', malice complements soul, malice complements contract', etc... As long as the judge determines that your malice is sufficient during the trial, it is entirely possible to exceed the limit of second-degree murder at trial."
Zheng Qing sat blankly on the small cowhide chair, listening blankly to the two witches arguing about various incomprehensible terms. Although more than half a year of wizarding career had given him a lot of understanding of the world, it was not enough to make him understand the world.
He truly blends into this world.
This has nothing to do with stupidity.
After all, completing the homework assigned by the professors every day and getting familiar with the newly introduced content in the textbooks has already wasted most of the time of the young public-sponsored students. If he has a little free time, he still has a lot of troublesome things such as the off-campus shop and the cat colony on campus.
solve.
Even if he is tired of studying and pulls out one or two free books in the library, he will also choose popular books that are close to exotic, such as "Werewolves and Vampires in the Parliament under the Moon", "Days of Dancing with Dragons", "Textual Research on the History of Dwarves", etc.
To kill time, you will never waste your precious rest time on a professional tome like the "Wizard's Code" that is full of awkward sentences and awkward vocabulary.
You know, he has never taken elective courses such as 'Wizard Jurisprudence', 'British Legal History' or 'Denhage Criminal Procedure'.
Maybe today I should bring Dr. Xiao Da with me to the store. Zheng Qingku was sitting on a stool, listening to the two witches chatting, and suddenly came up with this idea - this is a natural thing. He has reason to believe that he can recite all of "
Xiao Xiao from "Wizard Code" can more easily integrate into the conversation in front of him in this situation.
When he drank the fifth cup of Green Hornet and felt his cheeks swollen, the witches' discussion finally came to an end.
"After I go back, I will consult my family's lawyer to hear his opinion on this matter." Jiang Yu raised her hand to tuck her hanging long hair behind her ears and said softly: "And grandma... I will also ask
Ask her elders’ opinions.”
"I also need to re-study the provisions of the Wizarding Code." Korma stretched out and suddenly smiled to himself: "Originally, I went downstairs because I wanted to be lazy and take a rest, but...
Unexpectedly, the energy consumed downstairs is not much less than that spent upstairs... It’s really a hard life.”
"I can lend you the doctor." Zheng Qing finally had room to interrupt and immediately suggested enthusiastically. He completely forgot that he did not have the right to 'lend' a wizard with a complete personality. Even if the wizard was from his hunting team
Team members.
"Doctor?" Kolma did not immediately think of the wizard's name corresponding to this term - at First University, the most common title held by wizards is doctor. Someone once said with a smile, "I met all the wizards while walking in the university."
If people start counting, one of them within ten will definitely be a doctor.
"Oh, that's classmate Xiao Xiao." Jiang Yu explained with a smile: "The special admissions student in our class has probably memorized the entire "Wizard Code" and "Encyclopedia of the Wizarding World"... He is in the class
His nickname is 'Doctor'."
"That's great." Kolma accepted the young public-funded student's kindness with a smile, and winked at him at the same time: "If Dr. Xiao can help this time, you can come to the store during the winter vacation, and the one I mentioned"
Magical rituals are still effective."
Zheng Qing was stunned for a moment, then sweated profusely.
Jiang Yu glanced at the boy curiously, not knowing why he was embarrassed.
