‘Obstacles’ is also called Obstacle Spell. The description in the textbook is that “quickly casting the Obstacle Spell can delay the opponent or prevent a magical creature from traveling for a while. This spell is a vital part of the dueling wizard’s mana.”
However, when Anduin actually cast the spell, he discovered that the spell actually created an invisible obstacle in the direction indicated by the caster's gaze, like a magic wall. The duration could be as short as ten seconds or as long as
For over a minute.
If you adjust the magic output, this wall is not even solid. The opponent can even pass through this wall, but the speed will slow down accordingly. The degree of slowdown is related to the density of the obstacle. If you move horizontally
Cast a weakening barrier spell on the ground, and people walking on it will feel like they are stuck in a quagmire.
But if the obstacle spell is ready-made, it can even be used as a defensive spell. It can also use magic power to push the opponent and turn it into a means of attack.
"There are many obstacles," Anduin said, and immediately cast an obstacle spell in the open space of the room.
"First of all, we need to understand the nature of this spell." Anduin walked towards the barrier spell he had released and touched it with his hand. What Anduin revealed was a solid invisible wall.
"It feels very hard, and the width is probably less than an inch. It cannot pass through on both sides." Anduin put his hands together until they touched the wall, and roughly measured the width.
"Try the physical defense strength first."
Anduin picked up the dumbbell in his luggage and knocked it against the invisible wall, making a "pop" and "pop" sound.
"The sound didn't sound like metal or stone. Instead, it sounded like it was hitting the water." Anduin was amazed when he heard that the spell made a different sound than what he imagined.
After hitting it hard several times, Anduin put down the dumbbells and started fighting directly, using his fists to feel the invisible wall.
"Puff", "puff", "puff", after a few consecutive punches, the invisible wall began to change.
"The hardness is equivalent to that of an ordinary stone wall, and the force reflected back to the fist also proves this. But why does it become soft after being hit too many times? It does not break directly like glass, but begins to soften. This is because of the
Has the magic been consumed?" Anduin thought as he looked at his reddish fist.
After more than a dozen punches, the invisible wall that had become soft was directly penetrated, but Anduin discovered that even after it was penetrated, the spell still had an effect, but it could not prevent solid objects from passing through, but it still
Has a buffering effect.
Anduin simply ran into it and began to slowly walk through the wall.
"It's like passing through a piece of non-Newtonian fluid. Except it has no viscosity, it's really a magical spell." Anduin felt the barrier spell. After a while, the time for the spell to take effect was up, and the entire wall disappeared out of thin air.
Anduin took out his notebook, recorded the data and feelings of his experiment, and then released "Obstacles" again into the open space.
"Let's test the magic defense next."
Anduin came to about two meters away from the invisible wall where the spell was cast, and began to cast the attack spell, 'Expelliarmus', against the wall.
As expected, the invisible wall blocked the spell. The aura of the spell shattered and scattered after hitting the wall. It continued to travel along the transparent wall until it lost its magic power and dissipated.
"Try different angles." Anduin then tried casting spells and shooting at the wall from all directions, and even ran to the other side and tried various angles until the spell failed.
"Well, there is a lot of information in the test. If the magic spell is not strong enough when hit from the front, it will break directly, but will it start to rebound after reaching a certain angle? And the magic spells on both sides cannot penetrate, that is to say,
Can't we release a layer of 'obstacles' first, and then stand on the other side and fight back with peace of mind?"
Anduin released the barrier spell several more times to test the effect of the attack.
"'Obstacles' feels a lot like the alternative mage's hand in previous games. It can be solidified in place, or it can be directly used to shoot people through magic guidance. After being blurred, it can also slow down the enemy, and it is called
Obstacles are also a bit biased, this is obviously more like magic shaping." Anduin summarized the characteristics of this spell and began to construct the scope of application of the obstacle spell in his mind.
Overall, Anduin is very satisfied with this spell and it has great potential.
"The next training will be divided into several parts, including spell casting speed, positioning, strength control, shooting or the speed of pushing the obstacle forward, and then try to see if you can freely shape it. It seems that you will need to do a period of high-level training next.
Intensive training.”
Anduin began to arrange a new training plan and recorded some of his ideas about the spell one by one, preparing to conduct tests and targeted exercises one by one.
In the next ten days, Anduin read textbooks and learned some new spells every morning. He spent all his afternoon practicing 'Obstacles'. He also took time to go to Flourish and Blotts Bookstore during the day and bought a few books related to
Books about spells.
I originally wanted to buy a few more books, but the books in the magical world are too expensive. The cheap ones cost a few gold galleons, and the expensive ones cost more than ten or twenty gold galleons. They are more expensive than many alchemy props and potions, so Andu
Therefore, I purchased three books, namely "Barnabus Finkley's 7 Ways of Casting Spells", "The Origin of Spells - An Introduction to Ancient Runes", and "Elegant Steps in Duels", which took a lot of time.
Anduin paid 22 gold galleons. There were many books that Anduin liked that he didn't buy because they were too expensive.
Now Anduin is like a sponge, quickly absorbing all kinds of magical knowledge. His soul itself is stronger than that of normal people of the same age. Coupled with the targeted training for many years, both the intensity and total amount of magic power far exceed those of his peers.
So progress has been rapid.
One day in early August, in the evening.
"Bang" In the small patio behind the Leaky Cauldron, a target made of several chairs was smashed into pieces by a group of transparent cannonballs. Anduin slowly approached, raised his wand and said to the pieces, "
"Recover as before", the broken wood on the ground flew up into the air and returned to the way it was before being smashed.
"It looks like the effect is good. The 'cannonball' shaped by 'obstacles' can be reduced to the size of a basin, and the ballistic speed has gradually increased. The forward swing can be made faster. Let's see if we can still make it faster."
The magic bullet fired is shaped a little smaller. "Anduin imagined that it would be best if the 'cannonball' with many obstacles could be reduced to the size of a fist. In that case, this move could be called 'air cannon'
