This question is not actually about how to transform, but how to keep the properties unchanged.
To convert the three-dimensional spell structure into a figure that can be drawn on parchment, in Sha Duo's opinion, it is a three-dimensional conversion into two dimensions, and something must have been lost.
But the reality is that mages generally believe that this is an equivalent transformation, and judging from the actual example of the [Light Spell] scroll, this is indeed the case.
This almost subverted Xia Duo's cognition.
Subverting cognition will certainly not lead to a headshot for Xia Duo, but during subsequent research, I always feel that there is an inexplicable resistance, a feeling of a psychological hurdle that I cannot overcome.
Sha Duo himself speculated that this may be because the process of making the scroll itself is a process of casting spells, and the flat graphics are essentially magic nets, so nothing is lost.
But if this question cannot be answered, Xia Duo will feel uncomfortable.
Niya was very surprised when she heard this question. It was only after she became an intermediate mage that she began to consider these seemingly useless issues, but in fact they were close to the essence of magic.
Ganard on the side was completely confused. He had no one to lend him a magic book. The "Arcane Geometry" he read was just an ordinary text book, and his foundation in the apprenticeship stage was not as good as Chateau's.
It is still far from the level of thinking outside the book.
This unclear and serious question made Ganal prick up his ears, wanting to hear what was going on.
"Xia Duo, this question is very meaningful." Niya praised her first, while Xia Duo tried hard not to pay attention to the crumbs at the corner of her mouth, but looked into her eyes, looking forward to her answer.
"You should be preparing to make a magic scroll. Saving the magic on a piece of parchment seems to be converting the spell into a flat graphic, but it is essentially a solidified spell casting process. Without a spellcaster, the graphic alone is useless.
How to turn a piece of parchment into a magic scroll."
Xia Duo immediately asked, "Does that mean that not all magic can be written in scrolls?"
"Yes, you have to treat the process of making magic scrolls as making magic items, not just drawing a simple graphic. You need to pay attention to everything from materials to techniques. Some spells can never find the corresponding ink. Then this kind of spell
It cannot be made into a scroll."
Sha Duo wanted to ask again, but Niya had stopped, "It's Ganal's turn!"
"yes."
Xia Duo could now understand the feeling of having several apprentices under the same mentor.
That's it for two people, wouldn't it be even worse if there were a few more?
Fortunately, except for the lord, no one in the Tower of Time can take four or five apprentices at the same time, usually one, and at most two.
Of course, the apprentices here all refer to formal mages, and mage apprentices are essentially servants who maintain the operation of the mage tower. Sha Duo is increasingly aware of this.
It's just that some smart servants can continuously upgrade and jump out of the original class.
…
Ganard's questions are all on the application level, while Chateau's questions mostly go back to theory and principles, and of course occasionally ask some common sense questions.
This is caused by Sha Duo's exposure to magic being too short.
At present, the latest people in the Mage Tower are the same batch as Xia Duo, but these people are all indigenous people. Although they have not really been exposed to magic for more than ten years before reaching adulthood, they are influenced by what they hear and see, and they know better than an outsider like Xia Duo.
Much more.
Naturally, the whole morning's question-and-answer time must be fully utilized. Although these questions made Ganal and Niya look at him a little strangely, Sha Duo has long passed the age of dignity.
The real benefits are real when it falls into your hands.
Besides, this is not a loss of face, at least Xia Duo himself does not feel it is a loss of face. After all, being able to become an official mage within a year is a very positive image in itself.
…
Unknowingly, the entire morning was gone forever in a room of questions and answers between the three of them. At noon, Niya stopped answering questions, but did not let Xia Duo and others leave immediately.
"I have something to inform you in advance. Mage Aibo from the Mage Tower has successfully advanced to become an arcanist. A big celebration will be held in the territory. There will be an arcane competition at that time, and you will all participate."
"Arcane Games?!"
Ganal and Chateau exclaimed at the same time. Both of them were familiar with arcane competitions. Chateau had seen it in many mage biographies.
Generally speaking, such competitions are completely a place for the protagonists of biographies to become famous. Almost every mage who has published a biography has the experience of participating in arcane competitions.
Nese people especially like this kind of activity!
Not only mages like it, but ordinary people also like it. This is one of the few opportunities for them to see magic with their own eyes. It will be a good source of conversation in the future.
But that is in the core area of the empire!
Savile Territory is just a small town in the south. Although it has a good geographical advantage, the lord's spellcasting level is only level 12. How many talented mages can it attract to participate?
Sha Duo didn't quite understand why it was worth holding an arcane competition just for a mage to become an arcanist.
The empire's famous arcane competitions generally have traditions. They were originally either to commemorate a certain victory, or were initiated by a certain great arcanist.
What's in Savileland?
Unless it was to end the wave of orcs, but half a year has passed since that incident, and the arcane competition should have been held long ago.
You must know that if you want to attract people to participate, you must provide tangible benefits. If only some crooked people come to participate, it is not only a waste of money, but more importantly -
Will become a laughing stock in the caster's circle.
"Teacher Niya, is the territory really going to hold an arcane competition? When?"
"On the first day of June."
The first day of June? Xia Duo counted the days and found that it was mid-May, which meant that there was only about half a month left before the Arcane Competition.
Xia Duo was eager to give it a try, but when he thought that it had only been less than half a month since he became an official mage, he felt a little discouraged.
"Teacher Niya, who can participate? Tutor, will you participate?"
No matter what form of competition it is, if Niya participates, unless it's an arm wrestling competition with someone who is stronger, otherwise, Chateau will definitely not get a good ranking.
Niya glanced at Xia Duo and dispelled his concerns, "Only those who have become official mages within one year can participate. You don't need to worry too much. I'm optimistic about you."
"Yeah!"
Xia Duo was a little scared. There were only four official mages promoted in the Mage Tower in the past year. Xia Duo was confident of winning, but it was not necessarily true if people from outside were included.
God knows how many talented mages there are out there. In the background of the game that Sha Duo played before time travel, it was clearly recorded that there were great arcanists in their early 20s or early 30s.
Although the real magical world will not follow the game settings, everything is possible, and who can tell the story of genius!
Xia Duo remembered that just the day before the time travel, he saw a piece of news saying that a 9-year-old child had completed all the university courses in less than 10 months.
This can no longer be described as a genius, it is simply a monster.
The world is full of wonders, and Xia Duo's magical journey has just begun. How could he not be frightened!
However, although he was not confident of achieving the final victory, Xia Duo was still full of fighting spirit and wanted to have a good fight with the people outside.
Although it is possible that the quality of the visitors in the end may not satisfy Xia Duo, being able to communicate with outside mages is enough to make him happy!
"Teacher Niya, we will be well prepared!" Shado and Ganal said at the same time.
"Well, Ganal can go, Xia will stay a little longer."
