Arcane Lord

"This is impossible!"

Edrich was full of disbelief, "I have tried countless times, but I have never cast the exact same spell."

"are you serious?"

Now it was Xia Duo's turn not to believe it. If two different people could cast the same spell, there might be slight differences, but when it comes to a specific person, couldn't they still cast exactly the same spell?

"It's true!" Edrich said seriously.

He didn't seem to understand why Xia Duo was so surprised, but he had been away from magic for some time, and he didn't know how to refute Xia Duo's statement now.

"Dean! Tell me!"

Sha Duo suddenly clicked on Dean, which caught Dean off guard, "Me?!"

He pointed at himself in disbelief, and Shado confirmed again: "Yes, it's you! What do you think is Edrich's problem?"

"this--"

Dean's hesitation didn't seem like he didn't know, but rather like he was worried that Edrich wouldn't accept it. Edrich seemed to have seen Dean's thoughts. Maybe he was really wrong somewhere. This made him look forward to Dean's explanation.

He took the initiative to comfort Dean, "Don't have any psychological burden. Since you have joined the study group, communication is open. If you point out my mistakes, it's too late for me to be happy!"

Even the person involved said this, and Dean no longer hesitated, "Before I became a full-time professional, I was always stuck on [Repair Technique]. No matter how much I practiced, I could never succeed. Then I found a book called "Geometry Principles in Level 0 Spells" , I understood how to accurately control the spell structure."

"'Geometry Principles in Level 0 Spells'? Do you have this book?" Edrich looked confused.

But he didn't doubt Dean's words, because everyone except him nodded in unison.

Next it was Shado's time, "Edrich, did you feel it was easy when you were learning spells before, but then you found it inexplicably difficult?"

"Yes, that's it! How did you know?" Edrich asked quickly.

"This is the crux of the problem. Your talent is very good. In the beginning, your intuition alone allowed you to successfully cast spells. But later, your intuition was no longer enough to keep you from knowing all the details of spell casting. This is why you feel inexplicably difficult. In this case, you lack theoretical guidance.”

After finishing speaking, Sha Duo looked at the other three people again, "Your situation is slightly better than Edrich, but the essence is still the same. You only start to think of solutions when you encounter difficulties. Dean, if you have successfully learned [Prosthetics], will you still read that book "Principles of Geometry"?"

"I--"

Dean looked embarrassed, obviously because Sha Duo was right.

"Becoming a mage within one year may seem like a shortcut, but it is just a rigid mage trained through high-intensity training. However, the study plan can give you the ability to learn independently and even innovate independently."

"Xia Duo, are you really not an archmage in disguise? I feel like you know magic better than those official mages!"

"Okay, don't tell such jokes anymore. If it gets to the ears of those official mages, I will be in trouble!"

Although Xia Duo refused, he felt quite satisfied in his heart, and he also felt that at least in the apprenticeship stage, those formal mages might not be able to compare with him.

In the Mage Tower, Xia Duo discovered a phenomenon, that is, many people only pay attention to specific spells, but not to the principles of magic. The most borrowed books in the library are those about spell casting techniques, rather than explaining the essence of the magic network and the principles of magic. book of.

Of course, the most books in the library are about spell-casting techniques, followed by spell books that record specific spells, and there are very few that actually talk about theory.

Of course, this situation has practical factors. Mastering specific spells means mastering specific power, and even money and status; but if you master the theory, you still have to master power through spells.

However, learning spells does not necessarily require mastering the principles. As long as you know all the details of spell casting, you can learn the spell. This is the most direct reason why many people do not study the theory.

From apprentice to archmage, and even beyond, every step is traceable. As long as you master the spells at each stage, you will be a glamorous archmage!

And even the worst archmage is many times better than the most glorious apprentice!

How many people are willing to waste time studying the principles?

In fact, Xia Duo is not very willing, because there are too many things in this world that are more worthy of investment than the Haoshou Qiongjing, but he has no other choice. No one will provide him with the various spells needed for upgrading for free, and no one will Explain to him any knowledge required for upgrading for free.

Furthermore, he prefers to be the controller of magic than to be a magic user.

…

Spell Lab No. 15.

Nearing dinner, the first exchange activity of Sha Duo's mutual aid study group came to a successful conclusion. Although Sha Duo was mostly the speaker in this exchange, the other members basically opened their hearts.

The open and harmonious atmosphere lasted until the five people were "kicked" out of the spell laboratory by the tower spirit.

"Time flies by so fast!"

"Yes! I never thought that magic communication between apprentices could be so smooth!"

"However, Ta Ling is as punctual as ever! Just now I was wondering if the rental time was coming soon, but I didn't expect that I would be kicked out suddenly!"

Chateau's words also made Edrich and others complain, but the rules could not change because of them. Finally, Edrich made a suggestion:

"We can't ask you, team leader, to pay for the rental of the spell laboratory. I think the four of us can contribute some gold coins specifically for the cost of renting the spell laboratory."

"I think it's feasible!" The other three people agreed.

But Xia Duo objected, "I don't think it's appropriate for you to pay for it personally. The study group is everyone's study group. We can make money through the study group to maintain the cost of the magic laboratory."

"Xia Duo, what do you think?"

"Actually, I was just about to tell you before that there are many ordinary apprentices in the Arcane Garden, who can share our work. Now that the study group has been established, we can put the communication that does not require demonstrations in the Arcane Garden, and Allow them to ask us questions, and the income will be used to rent the spell laboratory, or for other purposes."

In fact, Xia Duo was about to say this when he was in the spell laboratory, but he was kicked out by the tower spirit before he could. Everyone worked together to answer the questions for ordinary apprentices in exchange for remuneration to pay for the spell laboratory expenses.

It can not only strengthen their collective attributes, but also select reserve team members, killing two birds with one stone.

On the contrary, if other team members pay for it, it will make Xia Duo's behavior of organizing the study group seem a bit transactional. Although it is indeed a transaction in essence, Xia Duo hopes that they will have more sense of belonging to the study group.

Only when you participate in the construction can you have a greater sense of belonging.

Perhaps so-called membership fees and group fees will be charged in the future, but not yet.
