Lord of Spells from Faerûn

Imrik, who had just arrived, found himself in the body of a second-level mage. He followed the Romans and adopted his original name. After accepting the memory and professional level of his original body, Imrik huddled in this small mage tower and lived an isolated life.

This is also related to his own personality. After all, before time travel, he was a cautious or "goo" person, so after coming to this world, he did not dare to travel at all based on his original memory.

He was originally a poor mage, which is also the norm for most low-level mage in Faerun. As a second-level mage, he only copied eight tricks, three first-level spells, and one second-level spell. They are:

Tricks: Detect Magic, Read Magic, Shocking Shock, Dancing Lights, Mage's Hand, Frost Ray, Communication, Increase Resistance.

First-level spells: Shield, Magic Missile, Charm Human

Second-level spell: wind creation

In this universe called Kingdom Tianyu, the magic net of the goddess of magic covers most places, and mages release spells by touching the memory of the magic net.

Spell levels are divided into nine levels. A first-level mage can memorize and release 6 tricks and two first-level spells every day. Starting from the first level, each even-numbered level increases the spell slots of the current level, and each odd-numbered level can learn spells of a higher level.

Therefore, as a small second-level mage, Imric only has 6 tricks and 3 first-level spell slots.

Fortunately, Imrik's intelligence attribute is 16, so with the bonus of intelligence, Imrik can have more in-depth research in arcane magic and has 5 first-level spell slots. As for that second-level spell, Imric has no ability to release memory at all.

"Fortunately, I own this Endless Book, which allows me to have unlimited spell slots." Imrik gently stroked the cover of the containment.

The third ability of the Endless Book allows Imrik to use the abilities copied in the book unlimitedly without having to memorize them in advance.

For example, an ordinary mage needs to choose to memorize the spells he needs to use today after getting up every day, and spell slots are limited, so if a mage has the ability to learn spells that exceed the number of his spell slots, then he He must carefully choose which spells he wants to memorize today.

After a spell is released, it needs to be memorized before it can be used, and the mage needs to rest for eight hours to restore his spell slot.

Therefore, for most mages in Faerûn, insufficient spell slots and the need to memorize spells every day have always been their biggest problems.

Fortunately, for Imrik, these problems do not exist. As long as he copies the spells in his endless book, all spells can be used infinitely!

Therefore, after understanding all the abilities of the mage, he immediately copied all the tricks and first-level spells he had mastered. The only second-level spell was not high enough, so he could only give up copying it temporarily and save it. In the old spell book of the predecessor.

In the past two years, caravans from Buck City would pass by every month. Whenever they arrived, Imric would sell them the one-ring spell scroll he made, magic missiles and charm humans, and Purchase the experimental materials you need.

Because he was worried about the caravan becoming suspicious, Imric would only sell 150 scrolls every month. Each scroll was sold for 10 gold coins and the scroll cost 5 gold coins. Therefore, Imric could save 750 gold coins every month. For daily expenses.

In the world of Faerûn, the world of civilians and spellcasters is separated. The 750 gold coins may cost more than half of it to buy experimental materials, but the amount spent on food every month is only about 20 gold coins. And this is the expense that Imrik is used to spending a lot of money on.

Today is the time when the caravan passes by on the first day of the month. After a day of meditation and exposure to the magic network, Imrik moved out his small bench and sat at the wooden door of the mage tower, blowing in the hot and humid sea breeze. Waiting for the arrival of people from afar.

When the sun was about to set, the silhouette of the caravan in the distance was finally revealed under the afterglow of the setting sun. Imrik stood up to greet them: "Hi, my friend, has the malachite I ordered last week been found?"

The caravan in the distance came to the front, and the leader, a mighty and strong man wearing heavy armor, waved and said: "Old John has kept it for you, you can ask him for it."

An old man wearing a blue robe walked out of the caravan. He pushed up his glasses and said with a smile: "Oh, Imrik, this is the malachite you want, a total of 800 gold coins."

"Here, here are the scrolls for this month. There are 150 scrolls in total. After deducting the malachite, there are still 700 gold coins left. I will give you another 50 gold coins, and I still need 150 scroll materials."

Imric chanted a few spells in his mouth and made the magic hand gesture. A large transparent blue hand appeared instantly, grabbed a sack full of spell scrolls and carried it to the ground in front of Old John.

Old John lowered his head and counted the number of scrolls. After a long time, he raised his head and sighed: "You are working too hard, Imric. As a level 4 mage, I have to give you a suggestion. You must play a full number of one-level spell slots every month." There are only 150, and you have used them all to make scrolls. How should you practice on a daily basis? As a mage, gold coins are important, but you must always reserve your own spell slots for unknown situations."

Imrik smiled softly and thought: It only took me three days to complete these scrolls. If I weren't afraid that you would find something wrong, I could be a ruthless scroll production machine.

For ordinary mages, copying scrolls not only consumes effort and time to draw spell models, but more importantly, each time a spell scroll is produced, a spell slot for that spell is consumed.

Therefore, if Imrik does not use the Endless Book and all five first-level spell slots are used to memorize magic missiles and charm humans every day, he can only produce 150 scrolls in a month.

Old John's suggestion is of course correct for a normal mage, but for Imrik, a mage who cheats by relying on contained objects, it can only be said that it is very irritating.

Old John sent someone to put away the scroll, stopped to exchange some magic experiences with Imric, and then left with the caravan.

Imric happily returned to his small home with malachite and other purchased spellcasting and experimental materials.

Malachite is a treasure that can stimulate the mental power of low-level mages to penetrate deeply into the magic network. The advancement of mages can usually only be achieved through meditation day after day and year after year.

Whenever you meditate, the mage will use his mental power to touch the magic network. This is a tempering process. When your mental power is enough to withstand a deeper magic network, you will be able to release more powerful spells.

Of course, the advancement of mages on the path of arcane magic is not that simple. The intelligence of all mages is far higher than that of ordinary people. This is precisely because not only memorizing spells every day is a very laborious task, but also the level of studying arcane magic has reached a medium to high level. When leveling up, the pressure of the magic network will be qualitatively strengthened.

At that time, if the mage wants to advance as quickly as when he was at a low level, he will need to rely on his advanced intelligence to analyze the spell models floating in each layer of the magic network, or even create his own spells. This can greatly enhance the mage's ability to master the magic network. understanding and promote the sublimation of spiritual power.

However, even in the low-level period from the first to the third level, many mages will be unable to upgrade for life due to insufficient intelligence. Or if they want to advance faster, they need the support of some external objects, such as malachite.

Malachite is like a catalyst, which can provide a layer of protection for the mage when diving into deeper magic nets, allowing the mage to make his mental power reach the deep magic nets more permanently, so that his mental power can be tempered for a longer period of time.

You must know that the time and effect of mental power in the magic network increase exponentially. After two years of meditation, Imrik has been exposed to the second-level magic net area many times, but he has been unable to persist.

"But this time with malachite, it's different." Imrik calmed down, took out the malachite and held it in his hand, calmly, and fell into dark meditation.

As usual, the mental power encountered resistance when it reached the boundary of the second-ring magic network. With a little effort from Imrik, the tentacles of mental power broke through the deep area of ​​the first ring and reached the surface area of ​​the second-ring magic network.

But usually, Imrik would quit meditation in less than an hour. This time with the help of malachite, as soon as his spiritual tentacles reached the second-ring magic network, Imric felt that his spirit was wrapped around him. layer of green shimmer.

This shimmer made him feel no pressure at all in the second-ring magic network area, so Imrik relaxed and allowed his mental power to continuously adapt to the surrounding environment in the second-ring magic network.

Two hours later, the malachite in Imrik's hand turned into a pile of powder, and his mental power in the magic network also lost the protection of the green shimmer. However, after two hours of hard work, Imrik's mental power has been strengthened. To be able to continue to exist freely in the second-ring magic network is the proof of advancing to the third level.

Imric opened his eyes and felt his own spell slots, including 7 (5+2) cantrips, 6 first-level spell slots (4+2), and 3 second-level spell slots (2+1). )indivual.

Opening his spell book, Imric copied his only second-level spell, Wind Creation, into the Book of Endlessness. In an instant, he felt that he had unlimited authority to use Wind Creation. Imric recited a spell and made several spell gestures.

Second-level spell - wind creation.

Instantly, a strong wind blew in the bedroom, like a typhoon passing by. All the sheets on the bed and the table were blown to the wall. After the spell effect passed, Imrik looked at the bedroom with a headache on his face: "It's over. , I forgot to go out and experiment with spells."

About settings. Because I was too lazy to look up various information, I just created many settings and place names myself. Of course, various spells will still strictly follow the settings. After all, the core content of this book is various spells.
