For Narant, this is simply more difficult than drawing a circle with his left hand and drawing a frame with his right hand, because drawing a circle with his left hand and drawing a frame with his right hand is just multitasking, but releasing magic requires multitasking, and the process is more complicated.
Complex, the pattern is also more complex..
"This is going to be difficult. Why can't you pioneer magicians come up with a more convenient step for casting spells?" Nalant was speechless.
If these steps did not require synchronization and coordination, he could easily complete them even with his eyes closed.
In particular, using mental power to outline the six-pointed star rune in the mind may be difficult for the indigenous people of this world, but it is quite easy for Nalant, who has received nine years of compulsory education.
Whether it was understanding the rune patterns or outlining the rune patterns themselves, he had no problem.
But if these three steps are carried out at the same time, there seems to be no shortcut, and we can only rely on time to hone it.
And this is the reason why it takes many apprentices several years to become junior magicians even if they have talent.
"It would be great if I could omit one of them. It's a little difficult for me to multitask, but multitasking is barely possible." Narant complained helplessly.
However, after all, according to the instructions in the book, these three steps cannot be omitted.
Especially the rune pattern, it is the key to making magic produce different magic. It is like the symbols on the keyboard. When you press a, the computer will display a. If you press b, then it will
b. will be displayed.
But without this rune pattern, what would eventually appear would only be the flame spell used to ignite fires and illuminate.
In addition, if you want to omit the process of injecting magic power, it is even worse. Magic power is fuel. Without fuel, it is useless...
As for chanting, this seems to be necessary. According to the book, chanting can arouse the resonance of magic power, making the magic power more docile and obedient, and willing to follow the guidance of the caster.
"Okay, then I will train you to do two tasks for a few days first. With my super strong brain, I believe that it will not take a few days to skillfully combine the outline of rune patterns and the guidance of magic power.
Add chanting, and you can successfully release the first attack magic!"
In the end, Nalant could only choose to practice honestly and follow normal procedures.
His preparation was to practice outlining the runes and inducing magic power until they became one, and then add the chanting, so it would naturally be easy.
Thinking like this, Nalant calmed down and used his mental power to outline the six-pointed star rune in his mind. At the same time, he also used his mental power to transfer the magic power in his body.
Because there is no need to cooperate with chanting, the difficulty this time is greatly reduced, and Nalant can also slow down the outline process to ensure that he does not make mistakes and practice slowly.
As he multitasked, the six-pointed star in his mind gradually took shape, and the magic power in his body was slowly moving towards the six-pointed star rune, and was ready to be injected into it.
"become!"
When the outline of the six-pointed star rune was completed, the magic power arrived and immediately began to flow into the inscription, everything was pinched just right.
And when the magic power began to be injected, the six-pointed star rune gradually began to condense into substance from the previous state of nothingness, and the entire rune began to shine with a faint red light.
"If the spell has just been added, it should be a successful fireball, right? No, the speed I sketched is too slow. The spell must be sung smoothly and coherently, and it cannot be word by word like a cassette, otherwise it will not be released successfully.
Magical!"
"Forget it, it's useless to think about it now. You have to improve your proficiency in outlining runes and injecting magic power to within ten seconds before you can start the next stage!"
His thoughts wandered for a moment, Nalant shook his head and put aside the distracting thoughts, and then controlled the fireball rune that had just been injected with magic power to pull it towards the outside of the body.
This thing has been infused with magic power. Even if the release is unsuccessful, it cannot be stored in the body, so it must be guided outside the body and let it dissipate on its own.
boom!
However, just after Nalant pulled the rune out of his body, he suddenly heard a bang, and then a red light appeared in front of his eyes, which immediately startled him.
When he took a closer look to see what was going on, he was a little stunned.
"Fire...fireball? I won't be dazzled, right?"
At this moment, more than twenty centimeters in front of Nalant, a small red fireball as big as a bowl was hovering in the air.
This fireball is different from the flame. The flame is illusory, and the naked eye can penetrate it and see the scene behind it.
But this fireball is like a sphere formed by magma, and there are even tiny hot flames beating on it like the surface of the sun. The temperature even burns and distorts the surrounding air.
Of course, the small fireball was released by Nalant. Although it was right in front of him, he could not feel the burning sensation, only the slightest sensation like a small heater.
"But, I clearly didn't chant before, so why did it form a fireball? Doesn't the Encyclopedia of Magic Spells say that chanting, outlining, and inducing infusion are all indispensable?"
Looking at the small fireball in front of him, Nalant was excited and confused at the same time.
"Let me try to see if this fireball is real!" With doubts, Nalant immediately looked towards the window of the room facing outside.
Immediately, his mental power controlling the small fireball moved, and the fireball flew straight out of the window.
Whoosh!
With a scream, the small fireball passed out of the window at extremely fast speed.
boom!
Then there was an explosion immediately outside the window.
The fireball hit the city wall. Nalant looked closely and saw that the battlements of the city wall were completely blackened by the blast, and a large piece of the edge was missing.
"Hiss! It's a real fireball. Fortunately, sir, my mental power has been pulling the runes just now. If I had lost my mental power at that time, this fireball would have exploded under my feet!"
To release a spell, naturally it is not enough to just release it.
You must also choose a target, and this selection of the target requires the magician's mental power to pull and lock it.
At the moment when the fireball appeared, if Nalant had recovered his mental power, the fireball would have lost its traction and would have fallen directly under his feet.
Although it is said that the fireball technique will not cause harm to himself when being pulled, but if it loses the mental pull, then this is another matter.
Fireballs are like bombs. They are relatively stable before being launched, but once activated, they don't care whether you are one of their own.
"What's going on? There was an explosion just now!" At this moment, a guard heard the sound and was quickly heading towards the direction of the fireball explosion.
Nalant's room faced the back garden, so there were no guards on the city wall before. Now when they heard the explosion, they naturally did not dare to neglect and came over one after another.
"Raymond, it's okay. This is the noise caused by the adults. Let's go to the vestibule. By the way, we can notify Mario and ask him to find a mason to repair the wall stacks!"
Seeing this, Nalant stood directly at the window and gave orders to the guards below.
"Yes, sir!" Upon hearing this, Raymond looked at Nalant, then at the wall that had been smashed and missing a corner, and after touching his head, he took the order and led the team away.
Although he was very curious about how his lord could blow a hole in the city wall fifty or sixty meters away while standing in the inner fort, he naturally did not dare to ask directly about his lord's affairs, so he could only leave as ordered.
