In Faerûn, if you are only required to cast spells, there is actually not much threshold. Many Nese people can cast level 0 spells as soon as they reach adulthood. As long as they are willing to invest time, energy, and money, even an illiterate farmer can cultivate them.
Become a true mage, although the final achievement may not be high.
Xia Duo actually didn't worry much about whether he could reach the threshold of spell casting. What he worried about was that he would not be able to obtain enough self-protection power.
Completely putting aside Mu Yan's guidance, Xia Duo tried to cast spells according to his own understanding of the spell-casting element - concentration. The only spell-casting element he knew for the time being was concentration, so he would focus on it to the extreme and implement it to the end.
Xia Duo pulled out a piece of hair and put it on the back of his hand. He stopped in front of his eyes and focused all his attention on one end of the hair. However, he didn't think about changing anything, he just stared and stared again.
The light in the tent was not bright at night, it was just the light from an oil lamp hanging near the door, but Sha Duo seemed to feel that his hair was so bright because he was so focused.
So much so that it breaks the shackles of reality.
But this is not enough to let him come into contact with magic. He must also use some auxiliary measures, such as meditation, pain stimulation, etc.
Sha Duo didn't know if mages could meditate. His meditation was just a way to sort out distracting thoughts in his mind. Before time travel, he was a writer. When he met Kavin, he often let himself go. After eliminating distracting thoughts, he started again
Put pen to paper.
The same is true now. Xia Duo closed his eyes and meditated, analyzing all the current thoughts one by one, clarifying those distracting thoughts such as fear of failure, fear of death, longing for home, etc., without trying to expel them. This is unnecessary and impossible.
Magnify your thoughts that you want to focus on one point, then open your eyes and stare at one end of [Biquge www.biqugew.co]'s hair.
I don’t know if it was an illusion, but Sha Duo felt that the hair seemed to move. If he were on earth, he would never think so, but in Faerun, everything is possible, and Sha Duo will not let his inherent knowledge limit him.

"Add more fire!"
Xia Duo knows that human energy is limited, and the state of high concentration cannot continue indefinitely. At this moment, he must add more fire and push.
Xia Duo has heard the story of stabbing the buttocks with a hanging beam countless times since he was a child. Here, you can't stick your head on the beam, but you can stab the buttocks with a knife. Xia Duo took out the iron dagger from his arms and stabbed his thigh hard.
one time.
The instant pain made Xia Duo look ferocious, but he smiled.
Because at the moment of pain, he felt a majestic, magnificent, and energetic structure spread across the sky and the earth, and even he himself was in this structure.
It's a magic net! Xia Duo immediately thought of this.
In the moment of severe pain, Xia Duo glimpsed the magic net, but that moment only lasted a short time. When the magic net disappeared from his perception, Xia Duo felt a little disappointed, but he quickly remembered what he should do.
Still focusing on that end of the hair, when his eyes felt a little blurry, Xia Duo stabbed his thigh with the dagger again. This time he felt the magic net again, and it didn't stop...
The hair in front of his eyes actually shone with a little bit of fluorescence.
Xia Duo rubbed his eyes to make sure he was not dazzled. He was a little overjoyed and jumped up with excitement. He couldn't wait to find someone to share his joy. At this moment, Xia Duo thought of Mu Yan who was in the compartment on the other side of the tent.
.
"Mr. Muyan, I succeeded, Mr. Muyan, I succeeded!"
After opening the door curtain, Mu Yan was writing something on a piece of parchment. Seeing Xia Duo, his expression was a little startled. He had just been immersed in creation and did not sense such a weak fluctuation of the magic network. He did not expect that Xia Duo
Duo suddenly broke in and said he was successful.
"Mr. Mu Yan, look!" Xia Duo stretched out his hand in front of Mu Yan's eyes. The fluorescence of the hair on the back of his hand was so weak that it was almost invisible, but it did exist and was the power of magic.
When Mu Yan saw the glowing hair, his expression was very exciting, "Have you come into contact with the magic network?!"
The tone seemed a bit regretful, but also filled with relief.
"Yes, Mr. Muyan, is there anything wrong?" Xia Duo was a little worried, fearing that Muyan would say something he didn't want to hear.
"There's nothing wrong with that. You've done a good job, but you may not really be suitable to be a bard."
Later, Mu Yan explained: "Usually the first spell a bard obtains is [Phantom Sound] or [Light]. These spells also come from the magic network, but we don't need to understand it. It's just that the magic obeys us."
appear in the heart.
"But your first spell is [Magic Trick]. This spell is usually the first spell a mage obtains. This means that you chose rationality. Maybe you are really suitable to become a mage."
Xia Duo didn't understand why Mu Yan thought that making his hair shine was a [magic trick], and why he chose rationality, but he didn't need to know this for the time being, he just needed to confirm that he had reached the threshold of spell casting.
The long march of thousands of miles has just taken the first step, but it is a crucial step in starting from scratch. Originally, Xia Duo was still a little worried about whether the people on earth would have magic insulating constitution or something. Now this worry has been eliminated.
And empty.
Having just come into contact with the magic net and activating the power of the magic net, now his mood suddenly relaxed again. Xia Duo could no longer hold on and passed out.
Before passing out, Xia Duo only saw Mu Yan's mouth moving, as if he was saying something, but he could no longer hear it.
…
The next day, Xia Duo woke up from a simple folding bed, covered with a blanket. As soon as he got out of bed, he touched the wound on his thigh. Only then did he realize that the wound had been bandaged.
"Xia Duo, any spell caster needs to be cautious when dealing with magic. You are really too messy. If you cast too much spells as soon as you come into contact with the magic network, it will affect your soul. You'd better not try to cast spells in the past two days."
Mu Yan's voice of concern and reproach came from outside. Xia Duo stood up quickly. Mu Yan walked in, holding a lot of things in his hands, including feathers of unknown birds, dried feces, animal claws, and horns.
What.
Putting these groceries on the wooden table, Mu Yan began to take out things from the inner pocket of his robe, including shiny metals, powders of various colors, and a white crystal, and placed these things on another wooden table.
.
"As for the mage, I can't give you any training. It's a good choice for you to join Lord Savile's mage tower. After all, you are a descendant of the great arcanist, and you still have some background. Now, let me give you the last gift.
, I will leave here tomorrow."
Only then did Xia Duo remember that he had been staying at Mu Yan for two days. Today was the third day, and it was also the day when the Mage Tower assessment results came out. Mu Yan also knew this and hoped that Xia Duo would join the Mage Tower.
.
"Mr. Muyan, you really don't need to do anything else. I have gained enough in these two days."
Xia Duo knew very well that Mu Yan treated him like this because Mu Yan believed that Xia Duo was also a Karatu person, and the tradition of the Karatu people was that "all the people are brothers in the four seas." With so few Karatu people in Faerun, Mu Yan
As a senior, Yan Yan naturally has some responsibility to guide the younger generations.
