It has to be said that the Illuminati mage made a bad decision, but even if he did not make that decision and just gave up controlling the ritual, Shado would still try his best to destroy the ritual in order to buy time.
In order to create a spellcasting environment that is unfavorable to both parties, he may even go further than the Illuminati mage, and the worst he can do is repair it later.
In the environment of magic network riots, the higher the magical attainments of elves, the greater the restrictions they will face.
A high mage, especially a high mage who has liberated the saint form, under normal circumstances, his influence on the magic network has almost formed an automatic spellcasting field that is unique to him.
But in the environment of magic network riots, his field is almost equivalent to calming down the magic network riots in an area and sorting them out properly, and this can only bring him a normal spell-casting experience.
If you want to go further, you need to pay a greater price, which is equivalent to carrying an entire rioting magic network to cast spells. The difficulty can be imagined.
As for the group of alliance mages commanded by Xia Duo, because they have less influence on the Magic Network, the Magic Network will also have less influence on them. When a riot occurs in the Magic Network, such related effects will also affect them.
Suppression is small.
In this environment, the arcanists of Netheril are more at ease, because their spellcasting does not or does not completely rely on the external magic network environment.
You only need to protect yourself and your spellcasting will be almost unaffected.
In terms of self-protection in the environment of magic network riots, elf magic is slightly better. Although the magic network does riot, the mutual influence between the magician and the magic network still exists, but it is more difficult to control.
It's not like he would be harmed by the rioting magic net, unless a spell had already emerged from the chaos and was affected by such an uncontrolled and targetless spell.
Generally speaking, there is no need to worry too much.
It can be understood that elf mages are immune to a certain degree of damage caused by magic network riots, while arcanists are not immune, but because their own spellcasting is not affected, it is not difficult to deal with it.
All in all, in the environment of magic network riots, compared with arcanists and elf (magic system) mages, arcanists still have the advantage.
Therefore, in addition to arcanists who will take the initiative to repair the magic weave because of divine grace, elf mages will also take the initiative to repair the magic weave. They are not doing it for divine grace, but for a better spellcasting environment.
From ancient times to the present, it is a recognized fact that the spellcasting environment has been deteriorating. In addition to the large-scale magic network riots or dead zones caused by previous wars, the magic network itself has also undergone changes.
It's not that the rules of the Magic Network have changed - the rules of the Magic Network are only related to the origin of the plane, but that the energy extraction efficiency of the Magic Network has changed, becoming slower and slower.
The same spell, such as fireball, may only require at least 3 points of arcane energy (equivalent to three thousandths of the energy contained in a standard arcane crystal). If the spell is cast now, it may take three to four seconds to complete the spell.
.
By optimizing the spell elements of energy acquisition, the process of absorbing energy can be moved to the entire process. That is, the spell is already absorbing energy from the beginning of casting, and it still takes three to four seconds to complete.
But in the past, almost a thousand years ago, excluding changes in the spell elements themselves, the fireball spell only took less than three seconds to complete the spell, and the only variable was the magic network environment.
Of course, the specific measurement and verification were not carried out through the fireball spell, but the conclusions drawn by the elves based on a large number of spellcasting details recorded in history.
Fortunately, elven magic has hardly developed after the Crown War, but has continued to decline. This also makes the current elven magic almost unchanged from the magic thousands of years ago.
After all, much of today's elven magic is obtained through archaeology.
It is equivalent to controlling variables, and the caster's casting process will hardly change. The only variable is the magic network environment.
That's why Cormanthor previously asked countries to limit the scale of magic activities in order to protect the Magic Network environment. Of course, in the end, because under the alliance state, countries began new developments, and development would inevitably violate the magic restriction treaty.
Later, this treaty was abrogated, and what is being discussed now is a simpler cooperation to protect the Magic Network. Compared with before, the attached political purpose is much less, and this also makes all countries more willing to participate.
At present, only a few details have not been discussed, but the big framework has been determined, and more and more direct actions will inevitably be taken to protect the Magic Network in the future.
In fact, this matter actually has a "contribution" to the Illuminati. If the Illuminati's attack had not created seven large-scale magic network decay areas, making all countries feel an obvious crisis, this matter may have been delayed.
It's not a short time.
After all, elves are known for their low efficiency - at least compared to humans, this is true. They have enough lives to deal with it slowly, while humans, or Netheril, and most Netherese mages are not actually interested in repairing the magic network.
Not much feeling.
Only those arcanists who pursue divine grace or simply do it for faith will do it. This is a minority among the entire group of Nese mages.
If the Illuminati hadn't created the Leyline decay area on Elam, Netheril might have been more willing to argue with the elves.
…
Teardrop Lake, shore.
As the intensity of the magic network riots continues to increase in the position of the alliance mages, the original spellcasting position is still declared to be disintegrated, but the high mages of the Illuminati are not doing well either.
He was originally "squeezed" out of the core of the Demon Network riot with heavy resistance. After staying away from the core of the riot, he did not become relaxed, but became more uncomfortable.
The core of the magic network riot caused by the destruction of the ritual, before the ritual was completely disintegrated, has become like the eye of a tornado. It is slightly calm inside, but becomes more and more violent as it goes outside.
Of course, the internal peace is not like the magic network in a normal environment, but the magic network is completely disabled, almost a magical vacuum version.
Even if there is no Alliance Mage to attract hatred outside, it is unlikely that the Illuminati's high mage will stay there to wait for death. Leaving is an inevitable choice, but the direction he chooses now happens to be towards the Alliance Mage.
However, the magic network environment in this area at this time is somewhat similar to the satellite orbit on the earth. The center of the ceremony is the earth, the source of gravity, and the alliance mages and the Illuminati mages are satellites in different orbits.
The Illuminati mage used his own domain's ability to control the magic network to forcefully cross the orbit. If he was allowed to do it, it might be the most time-saving, but only if the Alliance mage remained motionless.
But the alliance mage waits for the opponent to get close and deal a devastating blow. Is this possible?
