He sat on a chair in the inner room and quickly flipped through the posts recommending Longjing tea to him.
Today seems to be... an open beta? In short, it is the day when players log in in large numbers. He is just the first one to come.
Regarding "where is this" and "what are we going to do?", Longjing Tea and the others decided to wait until everyone is together to talk about it together. This will avoid everyone having to talk about it once when they come, which is very troublesome.
So Shi Sanxiang ran to the room, sat down to rest for a while...and drank some water or something. Dove said that snacks and fruits were OK, but he was too embarrassed to eat them.
According to the "initial spell" on the post, he can determine that he is a wizard who is inclined to the soul-stealing school.
Of course, this tendency is not 100% certain.
If you want to change your school, you can also change your school tendency through rituals and active mastery of spells from other schools. As long as the weight of the spells you master exceeds 50%, you will be classified into this school when you become a transcendent.
Generally speaking, you would only make this choice when it is clear that you are on the wrong path...for example, if the erosion is too high, you can only take the path of destroying the wizard.
One of the taboos of soul-stealing wizards is love.
Because it is too easy to control other people's minds with the soul-stealing spell.
The most basic soul-stealing spell can determine the intensity of "certain emotions" of everyone around you. For example, love, killing intent, fear... and this can not only be used to detect enemies, but also to judge.
What others think of you.
Because of this, you must have enough moral standards to control yourself and not steal other people's hearts indiscriminately. The bigger taboo is to use magic to gain personal gain for yourself.
There are only a few couples who do not quarrel or break up when they are in love. Once a relationship dispute occurs, or even when there is a crisis of breaking up... outsiders have no position at all to prevent the soul-stealing wizard from using spells to peek into each other's inner thoughts and determine
What the other person thinks can even directly change the other person's mind.
The other person will wonder whether he has been manipulated by the other person every time he quarrels or when he is in a bad mood. He even wonders if he will fall in love with the other person. Is this the effect of the spell?
This distrust will further deepen suspicion and create conflicts.
Basically, half of the eight major schools of wizards advocate "less use of spells" and the other half advocate "more use of spells." For example, the Prophet School, Idol School, and Transformation School are all the latter.
The destruction school and the soul-stealing school are both the former.
Moreover, Shisanxiang also noticed that in the wizard tower that teaches soul-stealing magic, almost all the teachers are Riddlers.
When they talk, they usually talk about "bring that book", "go to that classroom", "to achieve that goal", etc. In short, they don't speak human words.
This is to train soul-stealing wizards to have the ability to see into other people's minds and guess other people's intentions without using magic.
If they lack this ability, they will usually be persuaded by their teachers to quit. They will not be allowed to advance to become a soul-stealer.
Because if this kind of observation and analysis skills are insufficient, then a partial understanding of other people's minds is almost a disaster on a human level.
They may see a little hatred and regard them as enemies in their hearts; they may perceive the fleeting love and think that the other person is pursuing them.
They must have 100% confidence in the accuracy of their spells... But with low-level soul-stealing spells, it is impossible to search the other party's memory in detail, let alone detect all the emotional details of the other party with incomparable accuracy.
If they get some information and make mistakes in analyzing and judging, the problem will become more serious and difficult to self-examine.
After all, feelings are fleeting.
The emotion of that moment cannot be preserved forever, let alone freeze it, nor can we expect it to never deteriorate. This kind of fixing and permanently sealing slices of a certain emotion can only be mastered by gold-level wizards.
It is the most advanced soul-stealing spell, and it is also a ritual spell.
Destruction spells of the same level can easily destroy a city; transformation spells of the same level can exchange a piece of material with the flame in the center of the sun.
In this world where "the mind and thoughts themselves have power", the cost and difficulty of spells that manipulate the mind are much greater than other spells of the same level.
"A bit like Professor X, but not the same..."
Shi Sanxiang looked at the soul-stealing spell she would master, thinking hard and imagining its possible application directions.
For example, the main spell of the soul-stealing system is the "consciousness system".
This is something that all soul-stealing wizards must learn...its status is roughly equivalent to the fireball series of the Destruction Wizard.
Fireballs, super fireballs, high-temperature fireballs, sticky fireballs that burn continuously, fireballs with lightning, fireballs that can explode... If you ignore the original names of those spells, at least one-fifth of the spells of the Destruction School can be understood as...
A variant of fireball.
Looking at the introduction on the post... it seems that in the initial stage of land development, the first wave of SS that players encounter is a soul-stealing wizard.
He can use the "human heart control" spell to easily control the player's mind, just like Yuri. This spell also has an advanced version of "comprehensive control". According to the thoughts of the controlled player, it felt like
Just like a dream.
I can vaguely realize that my behavior is wrong, but a louder voice is telling me that "this is natural". It is not a complete fragmentation, the consciousness is so dark that I can't even remember what happened, nor is it a forceful control of my body.
After being controlled, if you suddenly encounter a serious injury or feel pain, you can instantly get rid of the control. It is like being in a dream and suddenly realizing that you are dreaming.
The point is, don't let the other person do something "they think they won't do". It's "they think", not what they really won't do...such as betraying a friend.
But for "wild monsters", this type of control spell is too difficult. And it requires adaptability.
Longjing tea recommends vigorous and simple consciousness-based spells.
For example, you can use "Consciousness Capture: Fear" to lock the enemy, and then use "Consciousness Enhancement" to control it in place; you can also lock your teammates who are afraid, and the enemies who are not afraid, and use "Consciousness Displacement: Fear"
Suddenly reverse their fears.
Alternatively, you can use "Consciousness Capture: Courage" to lock the enemy, and then use "Consciousness Loss" to drain the enemy's desire to fight. Or you can use "Consciousness Loss" to drive away the fear and despair of your teammates.
Can be controlled and assisted.
It can be called a universal magic.
Moreover, there are no prerequisite actions, and the casting range is not too small. As long as the opponent can see you, you can use this spell.
And after the soul-stealing wizard becomes a transcendent, as long as the opponent has a "strengthened" consciousness...or very intense feelings, he can use the [Soul Tear] spell to cause great harm to the enemy.
If there are two or more enhanced consciousnesses at the same time, the damage of soul tearing will also be doubled year-on-year. In Shisanxiang's opinion, this should be similar to the type of "adding additional damage according to the number of debuffs after stacking debuffs".
…Misfortune never comes singly?
Or is it an outbreak?
All in all, Shi Sanxiang still likes this profession.
Just like the psychological test we did at the beginning.
He is not a member of the Cult of Fire, but he likes a lot of control skills.
From this point of view, this psychological test is quite worthwhile...
Just when Shisanxiang was still rehearsing and thinking in her mind, "How will I fight the damage cycle in the future?", the door opened again and two girls came in.
Are there two new players coming in?
Shi Sanxiang was thinking about it in her mind.
One of the short-haired girls looked familiar... I think her name was Ah Dian. She was a Chinese voice actor, a horror game host, and she seemed to have a late-night radio station or something... She looked a bit clumsy.
But another girl with a silver ponytail whom she had never seen before suddenly looked at him blankly.
Then the other party exclaimed: "Wang Shouyi!"
Who are you?
I started beautifying my face by 30%, but you can still recognize me?!
Shisanxiang was shocked.
As if he had read Shi Sanxiang's inner thoughts, the other party said repeatedly: "I am Huo or... It's me, Husky!"
"What the hell?!"
Shisanxiang was stunned.
He was very familiar with this name. It was his professional friend.
