Chapter 905 The difficulty of being a writer and new spells
Back in the study, Xia Duo took out his previous spell notes and began to study the level-up of various spells with great concentration.
However, the deeper the level of the magic network involved in the spell, the more difficult it will be to achieve a pure theoretical derivation of level promotion by relying solely on the equivalent conversion of the magic network strings.
Because at this level, the improvement of spells is no longer just an improvement in energy level, but an improvement in actual performance combined with stability.
Specifically, it is characterized by anti-interference, high penetration, easy deployment, and stable structure.
Of course, some spells can simply accumulate energy levels. For example, those spells that purely use elements and energy characteristics, such as fireball, can be burned and done.
But this cannot be done with other spells, such as [Flying].
If you simply accumulate energy, you may gain speed, but flight is not just about speed. Maneuverability and stability are also important.
In the same way, there is [Teleportation]. If you upgrade the level from the perspective of improving the spell level, the teleportation spell after the level is upgraded will be more of an increase in the teleportation distance.
This may be important, but what Xia Duo wants more is to improve the stability of the transmission and the anti-interference ability, so that it will no longer be affected by the general [Restriction Spell] and [Dimensional Anchor] spells.
This is the direction in which teleportation should really be improved, at least for Shado personally.
In addition, if a spell is promoted from a low level to a high level, it will lack some characteristics compared to other directly created high level spells.
This is actually inevitable. The process of level upgrading is actually to convert the core elements of a spell into equivalent high-level elements after repeated many times.
Essentially it means raising the energy level.
Of course, in this process, in order to adapt to such an increase in energy level, the spell structure will also be adjusted to a certain extent, which is a bit of a "make up for the situation".
but--
Everything has its own differences, and Sha Duo once mentioned in the book "Principles" that as long as you master the equivalent transformation of the String of the Magic Network, it will not be a problem to become a great mage.
But in fact, it’s more than that!
If an ordinary mage completes the level-up of every spell by himself, then he will definitely be far superior to other mages in terms of spell principles, and the chance of becoming an arcanist will be greater.
This is just like the question-answers in Xia Duo's hometown. Compared with those who don't do the questions, the chances of getting into college are obviously much higher.
Because the requirements for becoming an arcanist are like the syllabus for the college entrance examination. They have been clearly laid out for a long time. As long as they are all met, you will almost certainly be able to become an arcanist.
Moreover, becoming an arcanist is different from the college entrance examination, that is, there are almost no subjective questions in the arcanist exam, only objective questions. One is one, two is two. As long as you don't make mistakes, you will definitely get the right answer.
This is also an important reason why Xia Duo emphasized the [Level Promotion Trial] many times when he entered the academy.
…
But at Xia Duo's level, the ordinary method of increasing energy levels by accumulating energy levels could no longer meet his needs.
All I have to do in person is just to verify and familiarize myself with the transformation of some spell elements from level 6 to level 7. In this process, the string of the magic network is equivalent to the transformation.
What he really lacks is actually those more high-level spell samples, which can be used as a reference to master more spell characteristics, or to inspire thinking in order to discover the more essential combination rules of the Magic Network String.
In fact, it has been seven or eight years since Xia Duo entered the Tower of Time to learn magic. Counting the time spent in various projection planes, the total of zero and zero adds up.
The essence of magic is the combination of magic network strings, and more importantly, it is the special effects produced by the flow of energy in specific circuits.
There is no doubt about this, Xia Duo has known it for a long time.
Theoretically, as long as the strings of the magic network are combined at will, various magical effects will be triggered, which is equivalent to creating brand-new magic one after another.
But unfortunately, most of these random spells are manifested as the leakage of magic network energy, existing in the form of various elements and energy turbulence.
In addition to the equivalent conversion of the Magic Network String, predecessors also divided spells into different types based on specific spell effects, and analyzed specific element units with similar, progressive, cyclic and other relationships in different types of spells.
This will provide more sources of creativity in the future, otherwise you can only try your luck.
In the past, Xia Duo also tried to summarize the more essential rules, but apart from the rules of the magic network string conversion that his predecessors had already figured out, he did not find anything more.
To a large extent, we are still following the path of our predecessors, and at most we just do some integration based on our own ideas.
It wasn't until some time ago that he gained the ability to trace memories due to his bloodline awakening. By tracing back part of his memories before time travel, Sha Duo finally understood that it was almost impossible to discover the more essential laws of magic with his current abilities.
On Earth, there is a discipline called bioengineering, and one of the more interesting fields is the study of protein folding.
The structure of a protein determines its properties, and what scientists want to study is the correspondence between structure and properties, so as to create the specific protein they want.
When Chateau traced it back to this point, it was easy to connect protein folding and the string combinations of the Magic Web. Both structures determine their properties, and there are almost infinite structural combinations, but very few are useful.
Spellcasters want new spells with specific functions, just like geobiologists want proteins with specific properties.
It is necessary to look for a specific combination of magic web strings. Before the rules of the combination of magic web strings are understood, other than finding a needle in a haystack and trying your luck, the only way is to start from the specific element units of known spells and integrate them.
…
However, if you want to understand the string combination rules of the Magic Network, it is almost impossible to achieve it in the magic world without supercomputers, let alone Xia Duo can study it clearly in a short time.
From this perspective, it seems that great arcanists may not be much better than ordinary mages, but they have more knowledge accumulation, better external conditions, and can make more attempts.
Because of this, Xia Duo pays more attention to the popularization of magic. As long as there are more people participating, not to mention the wisdom of the participants themselves, just the spell samples they leak are worth looking forward to.
As a result, a relatively clear development path emerged - the spread of magic, the increase of mages, the increase of exchanges, the increase of samples, and the increase of researchable patterns.
…
As for the magic version of the supercomputer, although Sha Duo was looking forward to it, he also knew very well that just a supercomputer would not allow him to understand the string combination rules of the magic network.
In other words, the combination rules of the Magic Network's strings are actually the so-called "magic essence". Of course, the magic essence may also include the properties of the Magic Network's strings themselves and the characteristics of the Magic Network's environment.
But once you master the combination rules of the Magic Network's strings, you are almost omnipotent. Any spell you want can be obtained through the combination rules.
How could such a "godly realm" be achieved so easily?
After all, in his plan, it is not difficult for computers to realize it, but it is difficult to use limited computing power and wisdom to pursue infinite laws!
Even the goddess of magic may not be able to do this.
In other words, Xia Duo does not want such a powerful god to exist from the bottom of his heart. This is too much pressure for mortals who already know their own limits.
