"So, if power and power are different things, and mana is the energy that supports the operation of magic, then what is power?"
Regarding Lin's question, and judging from the looks in Halumi and Kaya's eyes, it was also a question for the two girls. Fen did not intend to sell it off, and said directly: "The so-called power, in my era, is to use words to command the world.
Qualifications for everything. Only when the qualifications are not enough, you need to pay other prices in exchange."
This... is so concise and clear that it cannot be said more succinctly.
Just like an official, as long as the official position is high enough and the power is high enough, if he wants to do something, he will give an order or even a look, and he will naturally handle it without paying the price. If the official is not high enough and the power is not high enough,
Of course, you spend money to get people to do things. How much or how little money you spend is of course related to whether things are done properly or not.
When does playing magic mean the same thing as being an official?
But if you think about it seriously, this is really the case. Because those magic spells have been passed down for a long time. Although the pronunciation of the spells is difficult to pronounce, the content translated into vernacular is nothing more than:
I am very awesome, so I use my name as an order. So-and-so comes to my command immediately and obeys my instructions. What I want you to do includes bang bang bang. The method is bang bang bang. After listening to me
Give me instructions and execute them immediately, at any time, or after certain conditions are met. If I want you to go east, if you dare to go west, I will look good on you, and so on.
Of course, in today's era, that 'I' is no longer me, so most of the content has been changed to:
Because someone is very awesome, I use his name as the command, and then bang bang bang. The last sentence becomes: If I want you to go east, if you dare to go west, I will ask him to give you a good look, etc.
words.
Simply put, after the content of the spell is translated, it is nothing more than words such as commands, threats, inducements, etc. What is very strange is that these words can form a certain pattern, a certain law, so that future generations can do it as long as they follow its rules.
Accomplish the same thing.
If you do it, but you can't succeed. Most of the seniors on the magic path will tell you that this is due to the lack of accumulation of your magic power, so please try your best.
Perhaps in this era, they meant that the amount of payment was insufficient; but in the ancient times before the Dark Ages created by Yongfen, this sentence was also applicable, but the direction it pointed to was different.
If you think about it carefully, using magic really has so many flavors.
However, although what Fen said is understandable, there are still many things that are unclear. Let’s ignore the two apprentices. Their level is too low to think carefully about the factors behind it from the existing clues. Of course Lin
Ask about the things you don’t understand one by one:
"Then what kind of...well, energy is accumulated through our daily meditation? It doesn't seem right. Mana is fine, but what should power be?"
"What you have accumulated through the meditation rituals of the eight gods, based on my observations during this period, should be a medium that has both power characteristics and mana characteristics, or a mixture of two different but similar powers.
, accumulated in the body. When used, it is still converted into mana for output, but it still has the power to accumulate in your body bit by bit."
From a certain perspective, Fen's statement also explains why after irritating the eight gods, they were unable to use their authority to directly set a fire in the magician's body. Just like the gods dealt with those in the church.
Just like the traitors, they directly burn the accumulated divine power borrowed from past prayers by the traitors. They can only prevent the Masters from further accumulation.
Seeing that Lin was still thinking carefully, Fen added some opinions of his own and said: "From my perspective, the current practice of using meditation rituals to gain more power is faster and more convenient than in the past.
Many. But shortcuts always come with a price, and what is obtained through those gods will also be controlled by the gods. But the magicians of this era don't seem to care about such things."
"In other words, everyone just has a low vision and doesn't realize that they need to care about such things." Lin sighed with a bitter smile. But there is no need to think too much. Lin now has more questions that he wants to know.
Answer. "So how do you use the power and mana? It must be somewhat different from the current method of casting spells."
"There is a difference, but not big. There is no question of whether to use power or not. Once you speak up, as long as you are qualified, things will come true. And mana, that is, the energy stored in the magic stone, used to be
In the era, it was used for fixed magic circles, or some runes, and scrolls. For some magic traps and long prayers, it is very annoying to repeat them every time, so I will use
External objects can be used to achieve the desired purpose conveniently. This is also what I think about the purple one--"
Fen said, while pointing to the 'first coffin' placed aside. And 'the purple one' presumably refers to the purple transformation level magic stone placed in the first coffin, "──I was very surprised.
.The magic stones and the energy pools of the magic tower that I have seen mostly contain energy that mimics eight kinds of powers and maintains that balanced ratio. But that purple one contains real powers.
If this kind of thing were discovered in previous eras, even the magic props I mentioned would not be considered a good use of the power contained in the magic stone, until today."
"To this day? What do you mean?"
Fen did not answer immediately, but gave Lin a thoughtful look and said: "Programming the eight powers, the first thing that surprised me is that before this, I always thought that magic circles, or anything must be done through
Spells cast by external objects can only use converted mana, and cannot directly use powers. However, the programming language built on the basis of eight powers breaks this perception. What you transformed before
The Tower of the Great Sage undoubtedly uses eight powers to drive the magical effects of its friends. As for the second item."
Fen did not continue to talk, but concentrated his energy and recited the incantation in a low voice.
Although I have never seen the lich in front of me cast spells a few times, the few times I have seen her cast spells are easy and casual. I have never seen her show such a serious expression. Is this a forbidden spell of mass destruction?
But Fen just set up a water mirror screen in front of him and opened the forum. Then Lin was shocked!
The reason for being scared is not because Fen did not use the established program structure of the browser magic stone, but created his own magic from scratch. The complexity of the browser program is not that of the introductory 'hello_world'
In comparison, at least I, the founder, cannot do such a thing.
But Fen did not stop casting spells, the sound of the spell continued, and the second water mirror screen was quickly established. She was not doing something meaningless like opening two forums, but placed the two water mirrors opposite each other.
.Then a ball of light the size of a fingernail shot out from one water mirror and submerged into the other water mirror.
What is this going to show? As soon as Lin's doubts arose in his mind, he saw two light balls following the same trajectory, shooting out from one side and sinking in from the other. Then three, then four. The more light balls, the faster the speed.
It also gets faster. In the later stage, it is almost impossible to distinguish the boundaries between balls, and compared with the original light ball the size of a fingernail, it is now almost like a large light block smashing into the other from one side.
He vaguely guessed the principle of magic displayed in front of him, and in surprise, the light block suddenly turned into a ball of light, starting a new reincarnation. Lin was convinced at this time, and he asked with a trembling voice in shock: "This is an infinite loop
,How did you do it?"
Lin had made a lot of preparations for the computerization of the Magic Tower before moving into the Tower of the Great Sage. After moving in, there was a tower to experiment with, and of course he also tried many things that were impossible without the tower.
things to do.
However, in such a large amount of research, there is one thing that I have always wanted to do, but I have no clue, and that is the programmed application of my own spellcasting. All Lin's spellcasting processes are still the same as in the past, with spells combined with gestures and spellcasting media.
, construct the magic model that has been passed down since ancient times, and then provide the required power, and the magic is completed.
Now, in front of him, Fen had done what he had always wanted to do, and he was not surprised. The number of light balls increased, and the same actions were repeated over and over again. This was undoubtedly a manifestation of the infinite loop in the program. In the later stage, a
The big block of light suddenly turned back into a ball of light, as if it was recalculating after exceeding the numerical range.
Before Lin could ask again, Fen said: "This is the second thing that surprised me. Before this, the only way to use power was to recite incantations and command everything. But with the help of the spell model structure of this era,
Coupled with your program syntax, you can accomplish more things that used to require more complicated means. All of this, not to mention what changes it can bring to the current fandom, is also a benefit to me.
A lot."
"Oh." It seemed that the other party was in a good mood, so Lin asked shamelessly. "Rather than being surprised, I want to know how you did this without relying on magic stones to store good programs."
With a slight smile, the excitement that was originally caused by admiration calmed down again at this moment. Fen showed his cynical expression and tone again, and said: "Consider these things after you can truly grasp the power. Otherwise, all this will happen again."
, it’s harmful rather than helpful to you.”
"Then, what should I do to truly grasp the power as mentioned?"
Lin's question, the two girls also looked at it with hope, and listened with their ears pricked up. In response, a certain lich showed a helpless expression, shrugged and said: "I don't know."
"What do you mean you don't know? Is this another talent-based thing?" Lin complained slightly. The girls also showed disappointed expressions.
