Ethan’s Fantasy Drift

Ethan has mentioned it more than once in the books currently in his hand. When a magician absorbs energy for the first time and converts it into magic power that he can drive, he must be cautious, especially when it comes to the choice of energy, never make a random decision.

For example, elemental energy, generally speaking, a new mage must choose a certain element. This energy not only gives the mage better control over the element, but also affects the mage himself.

Spiritual power is inversely assimilated, and the attributes with some such energy are still light. Extreme energy such as fel energy can even affect the character and thinking of the mage. After a long time, it will even completely become another one. people.

This is why for mages, all energy can be used as magic, but most mages are very taboo about some extreme energies.

Ethan initially set his goal on the energy of the water element, except that the first magic he learned was water creation (however, the water creation did not use the magic of the water element attribute, it was simply the application of spiritual power, strictly speaking Not counting water attribute magic), the most important reason is that the Sea of ​​Tranquility is a world full of water, and water attribute magic can be greatly enhanced in this environment.

At the same time, the water-type variant of the ice-type attribute is also extremely versatile - and it is handsome enough to use!

Of course, for a real magician, it is not like the setting in the game. After choosing a certain elemental energy as his magic power, he cannot use other magics other than that element. In terms of the speed of operation and the consumption of energy, it will vary according to the degree of conflict between the nature of the magic you use and the degree of conflict with your own magic power.

Relatively speaking, pure element magicians who use water element energy as their basic magic power will be somewhat less effective when using fire attribute magic.

Of course, there are many mages like Isandra who are proficient in the three elements, but either they have completely controlled the elemental energy, and their magic contains more than one elemental energy, or they use another energy as their own magic. The basis of , and this energy is extremely malleable and can be transformed at will - such as arcane energy.

"If I guessed correctly, you initially wanted to absorb the energy of the water element and start your own mage journey from the control of element attributes."

In fact, in the magician's world, there are far less miscellaneous classifications. There is no difference between any elementalist, arcanist, or even the magic net-based blue-striped system. The real great magician will not let himself have magic knowledge at all. The short board is that they know almost all the relevant knowledge, and can 'freely switch the spellcasting method and the attributes of their own magic'.

But on the road of pursuing this goal, the influence of magic attributes on the mage will determine how long he walks on this road, and even decide where a mage will end up.

"Yes."

Ethan has been living with Merlin for two days. During these two days, Merlin did not teach, but conducted a comprehensive assessment of Ethan's abilities. It was only now that he began to prepare for teaching.

"Actually, there is nothing wrong with your choice. If I were in your situation, I might have made such a decision." Merlin considered his words: "However, if I have one that is very suitable You, but it is more difficult to walk, but the future achievements will be huge, so are you interested?"

Ethan was a little puzzled, because Merlin's words were too general.

"A huge achievement? How huge?"

Merlin thought for a while, maybe he was choosing a reference that Ethan could understand directly and clearly? Finally, I thought about making a comparison directly with myself.

"I don't know how strong it will be in the end, it's up to you, not anything else... But if you can follow this path firmly, then your final achievement will at least not be lower than what I am now. ."

Ethan's heartbeat couldn't be suppressed a little faster. Fortunately, he had seen the "big world". After a while, he had regained his composure, and he did not lose his temper in front of Merlin.

"Can observe the endless plane, and can break the plane barrier, and even have the strength to completely destroy a plane?"

The first point Ethan is sure Merlin can do; the second point is also very likely! As for destroying a plane, it's hard to say, but the most conservative estimate is that it should not be difficult for Merlin to destroy a planet - the ancient one who protects the earth from being invaded by the multiverse, if you let go of your hands and feet, the earth It's probably not enough for her to toss.

This does not mean that these two mages can smash the world with one punch or a forbidden spell, but that these two mages have countless tricks. For example, Gu Yi, if she is willing to plunge into the darkness, release Dormammu...

That's the scary thing about mages, who doesn't know what they can do or even do? This unknown is also one of the reasons why people are afraid and feared.

Ethan also wants to become such a mage, so he is very interested in the path proposed by Merlin.

"You should know that mages are a group of people based on powerful spiritual power, manipulating energy and achieving their own goals, whether it is fireball or more advanced magic, it is essentially the same."

Ethan nodded and waited for the next.

"So, spiritual power is the foundation of mages. The improvement of spiritual power means that they can control more energy, which is equivalent to being able to cast more powerful magic and achieve higher goals."

Ethan is just not qualified for his mental power, so he has been working hard to improve his mental power. In addition, from the moment the time-space pointer appeared, he has more or less exercised his mental power. He has practiced for more than seven years. The current level - the last point from being able to get started and become a mage.

"Actually, the power of spiritual power not only allows the mage to use more energy, but also has more benefits."

As the foundation of the mages, the importance of spiritual power is naturally unquestionable. The degree of research and careful treatment of spiritual power by the mages is beyond Ethan's previous imagination.

In contrast, the 'secret' of spiritual power has also been studied by mages. Merlin, as a top magician, has a very high understanding of spiritual power.

"In addition to the control of energy, the strength of mental power also determines the priority between you and magic."

"What does it mean?"

Merlin explained it in detail, and Ethan understood. The relationship between magicians and magical energy is not so simple as a master-slave relationship.

To put it simply, the magician must be able to understand his 'limit' when improving his spiritual power, so as to avoid absorbing too much magical energy and being invaded by the energy in turn.

As Ethan saw in the book before, the energy absorbed by the magician's spirit is "contaminated" in turn, which is the lightest symptom, and the worst is that the character is affected.

For example, some fire-attribute mages, after cultivating to a certain level, become irritable, all because they have absorbed fire-element energy beyond their control.

"For example, if the mental power is one, then these mental powers can perfectly control ten units of magic power, so once this value is exceeded, there will be danger." This is of course not absolute, the amount of mental power can be the same, but The quality is different, so Merlin said it just for convenience.

Hearing this, Ethan seemed to understand what Merlin meant: "What do you mean, let me continue to focus on cultivating spiritual power, instead of absorbing energy early to convert it into magic power?"

Merlin smiled and directly shook his head to deny Ethan's guess: "Actually, the path I suggest you take requires you not to absorb external energy to convert it into magic power."

Ethan was stunned for a moment, completely unable to guess what kind of path Merlin had designed for him.

"You should know that in addition to absorbing external energy, mages themselves can also breed magic power."

Shaking his head, Ethan hasn't come across this yet, but according to the introduction in the books he read, the mages convert energy into magic power, and then consume the magic power stored by themselves, in addition to absorbing the energy of the same attribute from the outside world again. , can indeed recover consumption by itself.

From this, we can see that the mages themselves can generate magic power.

"The magic power generated by the mages is different from the energy absorbed by the outside world. It has stronger plasticity. It can even be said to be the purest magical energy, and its plasticity is the strongest."

Merlin sighed helplessly when he said this: "Unfortunately, when many mages realized this, their spiritual power had been more or less polluted by external energy, and the magical attributes bred in this situation would inevitably go to him. The energy attributes absorbed before are close. The specific amount depends on the degree of spiritual pollution of the mage."

It is for this reason that mages refer to the invasion of their own spiritual power by external energy as 'pollution'. There are many different ways that mages deal with this situation. But no matter how they deal with it, they will waste more time and energy before reaching the finish line.

Hearing this, Ethan has made up a good professional class, remembering his previous decision, with his little mental power, it is almost unavoidable that he will be polluted by water attribute energy, not to mention that he wants to learn to absorb other attribute energy in the future, Just after the mental power is polluted, there is a risk of a decline in the control of space-time energy - no, it should definitely decline.

Ethan, who suddenly consciously avoided a difficulty, gradually understood the path Merlin wanted to take by himself.

"Is the path you arranged for me to continue to focus on cultivating spiritual power, and then rely entirely on my own spiritual power to nurture magical energy?"

Merlin smiled and nodded, Ethan guessed right this time, he really suggested Ethan to go this way.

However, the difficulty of this road is countless times more difficult than the ordinary mage road, especially in the early days, when almost no magic can be used, Ethan will not be much stronger than ordinary people. So, he felt that Ethan might take a while to think carefully before deciding whether to go this route.

Unexpectedly, Ethan made a decision far faster than he imagined, and gave him the answer on the spot.

"Don't think about it, I'll choose this path."
