Chapter 1603 Ineffective countermeasures, hidden body
Sure enough, after listening to Xia Duo's words, Niya became very motivated.
Sha Duo has basically completed a simple test on the conventional properties of the equation spell. He is not ready to wait for subsequent changes anymore. He wants to conduct a destructive test.
Of course, since his understanding of the equation spell is still very limited, what he is really planning to do is to "relatively scientifically" eliminate or erase the existence of this spell within the scope of his own understanding.
In this regard, although Niya wanted to know how long this spell could last, she also expressed her willingness to support Shado's actions.
After all, a spell that can be cast once can also be cast many more times.
The two have decided to build an Equation Spell Observation Room after returning to the Tower of Time, specifically for long-term observation of the retention time of the Equation Spell, as well as the various changes that may occur during this period.
As for now, it is better to erase this external spell as soon as possible.
…
Question, how to remove an equation spell?
The first thing that Xia Duo thought of was to use the current form of reverse operation to hedge, which is commonly known as "spell counterattack".
Although the goal is to erase the spell, Sha Duo still does not want this process to be too simple and crude, and there must always be something to gain.
The first attempt was made by Niya, which could be regarded as giving her a chance to "revenge". After adjusting the equation spell state to ordinary [Light Spell], Sha Duo stepped aside and began to do nursing work.
The light spell is simple to cast, and the so-called reverse operation is only relative to the oscillation state of the magic network string in the spell element. In fact, if the counterattack target is not considered, this is actually a light spell.
Comparing it to cases on Earth, it is almost similar to the principle of noise-canceling headphones, using anti-phase sound waves to offset normal-phase sound waves to achieve the purpose of noise elimination.
But in fact, no matter whether it is forward or reverse phase, the human ear cannot hear any difference.
The counterspells in the wizarding world are similar, and one thing that is very true is that noise-cancelling headphones cannot offset part of the sound waves, that is, in practice, the spell caster does not achieve exactly the same spell casting details as the target spell.
But as long as the key elements of the target spell are offset, this countermeasure can basically be considered qualified and effective.
[Light Spell] is basically the first spell that every apprentice comes into contact with and learns. It has only 12 elements in the 0-level state, making it the simplest spell except [Magic Trick].
In Xia Duo's view, [Magic Trick] cannot be called a complete spell. It is just a combination of discrete elements. The specific effect depends on the caster's own mastery and application of magic knowledge.
The weak one may just make the fingers glow faintly; the strong one may even be used as a normal spell. This is an unconventional spell with a high upper limit and a low lower limit.
To erase such a simple [Light Spell], according to Niya's past understanding, it was not even necessary to use countermeasures. It was only necessary to destroy one or two key elements alone to render the spell ineffective.
In fact, as long as you wait a little longer, the spell will naturally dissipate due to the automatic recovery tendency of the magic network.
But now, the so-called "equation spell" has once again subverted Niya's cognition. After a very complete countermeasure process, the target spell only shook the magic network string that constituted the source point of the spell slightly, and the rest was not affected at all.
Although Niya had expectations for the result before casting the spell, this almost ineffective result was something she had never imagined.
Seeing this scene, Xia Duo couldn't help but frown. To be honest, this was beyond his expectation, so he greeted Niya again, "Let's try it again."
Niya followed her instructions and tried again. It was still a very complete countermeasure process, with a total of 12 spell-casting elements. Since Niya's spell-casting was basic, it was impossible to make any mistakes.
If the target spell was a normal [Light Spell], it would have been canceled out long ago.
But now, the second counterattack was still ineffective, and this time, Niya tried a few more times without waiting for Xia Duo to say hello.
The results are obvious, none of them work.
Xia Duo thought for a while, adjusted the equation spell to a level 1 spell, and asked Niya to try again, but the result was that she still couldn't counterattack. Then it was level 2, level 3, and then level 8, but the result was still the same.
Later, Xia Duo stopped trying. He speculated that this spell had a deeper structure, which was hidden in the environment of the magic network. The source point of the spell was just an appearance derived from the real core.
This speculation is not unfounded. This spell was cast by him. It has the most components of any spell he has mastered. However, most of those elements are not reflected at the source of the spell after the spell is completed.
Instead, through the control of additional discrete magic network strings, the spell source point can be made more complex or simpler.
"It seems like I've seen this scene before!"
Xia Duo traced back his memory and soon found a similar feeling in the princess's ascension ceremony. The spell cast by the princess at that time did not completely correspond to the source point of the spell, but caused background fluctuations of the magic network that affected a large area.
Subtle changes.
Generally, spellcasters would simply ignore this change as a background fluctuation of the magic network when they first come into contact with it. However, Xia Duo has gone through several ritual rehearsals and formal ceremonies.
And I also got the original version of the Elf's Book of Ascension. Although it doesn't match the princess's ceremony in many details, some clues can still be seen in general.
The background fluctuations of the magic network in the Princess Ceremony change subtly. It seems chaotic and chaotic, but in fact, its changes are traceable.
So, will this equation spell now also have many "changes of change" hidden in the background fluctuations of the magic network?
The background fluctuation of the Magic Network is essentially the oscillation state of the Magic Network's strings. It can also constitute a spell element and is inconspicuous.
Xia Duo had vaguely thought of this before, but he focused more on its independence that was very similar to the Mystery Lock, thus ignoring the true "body" hidden by this equation spell.
Then, Xia Duo first observed the magic network from a macro perspective and found that this spell could indeed affect the macro magic network.
If the influence of the Mystery Lock is a line or a plane, then the influence of this equation spell is only a point.
Its impact on the macroscopic magic network is almost negligible, of course, this is only relative to the myth lock.
For ordinary spells, just a little bit beyond the norm is enough for it to acquire characteristics far beyond those of ordinary spells.
Then, Xia Duo re-examined the microscopic magic network strings around him, starting from the special magic network strings used to control equation spells, and followed the traces bit by bit, unraveling the cocoons.
