Chapter 254: The Path of a Mage
“Like I just said, temperature is a manifestation of the fire element.
We use spell models to create high temperatures, and we use fire elements to release high temperatures. In essence, we are all utilizing the fire element, and temperature is the fire element.
All temperature overflow is caused by the outflow of fire element.
Think about it, when you cast a fireball spell and hold the fireball in your hand, do you feel it is hot and will it burn you?"
Lin Wo suddenly realized and shook his head.
"Won't."
"Why? Because the spell model helps you to restrain the fire element, which naturally restrains the temperature and prevents it from leaking out."
Mo Lan kneaded the fireball in his hand, raised the core temperature a little bit again, and then continued.
“In the past, you relied on spell models to cast spells, and you had little experience in controlling the fire element and spells.
That's why you ask this question now, because you are unable to master the element of fire proficiently.
This is one of your weaknesses, or the weaknesses of most professional mages, because it is not used at the professional level, so naturally no one will practice it. "
The bright red black iron stone turned red in Mo Lan's hand and gradually softened.
"Now that you are aware of it, you can practice and strengthen it in a targeted manner.
Because this will be the way a fourth-ring mage casts spells. Mastering this faster will allow you to adapt to the fourth-ring mage faster and complete the transition period. You are almost a fourth-ring mage now, right?"
Lin Wo nodded upon hearing this.
"Originally it might have taken a long time, but now we have a meditation room, the speed of meditation has increased a lot, it should be this week."
"Yeah, okay."
Mo Lan controlled the fireball in his hand while explaining to Lin Wo.
“I just explained why, now let’s talk about how to do it.
There are many ways to improve your control ability.
Taking the fire element as an example, if you want to control the fire element more delicately, I suggest you meditate on the fire element, first increase your affinity with the fire element, and gain a certain ability to control the fire element.
Secondly, constantly control the fire element. When casting the fourth ring spell in the future, don't cast it roughly. Try to maximize the power and control as much as possible, and micro-manage as much as possible."
Lin Wo was taking notes quickly in his notebook, but Mo Lan's next sentence instantly stunned him.
“The above two methods are the least efficient. It is recommended that you use them in combination with other methods.
Because everyone does this, it is an inevitable and necessary step, just like the nine-year compulsory education, everyone is studying, everyone has to study, but if you want to be better than others, you have to secretly make up for it! "
Lin Wo was stunned.
“There are many ways to make up for the lessons, and there are more effective ways to exercise. I haven’t spent time to figure this out, but you can try to be creative and give some benefits to the brothers below.
As for you, if you open the gate to the Fire Elemental Realm later, I suggest you go to the Fire Elemental Realm and catch a fire spirit.
Catch a fire spirit, spend a spell slot to permanently control it, then you can use the fire spirit to indirectly... oh no, the fire spirit will become one with you, it should be said directly.
You will be able to directly gain powerful control over the fire element. I will put the specific control methods in the technical library, and you can change them when the time comes."
Lin Wo nodded upon hearing this.
"There are many ways to make up for the loss. Other natural treasures that can enhance elemental affinity can also be used. They are not limited to fire spirits."
Mo Lan pondered for a moment.
" Since we're talking about this, let me say a few more words. I've been studying mages for a long time, and I've seen spell models of all levels. So I've roughly seen the path of the entire mage system, and I've also vaguely gained some understanding of my own.
Professional level, spell casting is completely borrowed from the spell model bred by World of Warcraft, it is simple and easy to learn. You can become a mage by drawing the spell model. No element control is required, and no learning is required. The threshold is very low, and the same is true for combat effectiveness. There are few spell slots, and the power of spells is strictly limited by the number of rings of the spell model. Slightly better mages can improve and create some spell models, but that's it.
This is the entry level, if given a proper name, it can be called an apprentice mage."
Lin Wo who was standing next to him heard this.
"Ababa."
"Going up, elite-level spells, using all kinds of natural treasures, methods and techniques, constantly improve one's affinity with the elements and control capabilities.
In other words, at this stage we need to have real control over the elements, rather than simply using mental power to move the elements. This is the foundation.
After completing this step, independent spell casting is still difficult, but you can initially move away from the stage of using the entire spell model to cast spells.
Only some core components of spell models are used to assist in casting spells. The entire casting process is roughly half controlled by the mage and half by the spell model.
At this point, the power of the spell is no longer completely limited by the number of rings. We can fully enhance the power of the spell through preparation and various means.
Just like me, although I am still a fourth-ring mage, I can accumulate power over a certain period of time..."
"Release a six-ring spell?"
Lin Wo asked suddenly, causing Mo Lan to choke.
"What the hell are you dreaming of? You're talking about a sixth-ring spell. By charging the spell for a certain period of time, a spell below the fourth ring can release the power of a sixth-ring spell.
Simply put, at this point, the power of a mage's spellcasting is no longer determined by the spell model, but by the mage's strength.
Even if it is just a first-level spell, in the hands of a powerful wizard it can unleash the power of a sixth-level spell."
"In other words, there won't be a situation where a fourth-level wizard casts a first-level spell but still can't kill a first-level warrior?"
"Yes, the power of the spells cast by the mage is no longer measured by the number of rings, but directly measured by the mage's strength."
"Awesome! This is a real magician."
“Yeah, so the elite level are basically considered official mages.
I dare not say what the higher level is, but I have a vague guess about the master level magician."
"Master, Master, you are no longer bound by spell models, you can cast spells completely on your own, as you please, and cast spells at your fingertips?"
Mo Lan nodded upon hearing this.
“Yes, but it is very difficult to complete this step because our spells are all based on the essence of elements.
The reason why professional mages need to use certain spell models when casting spells is because we are unable to grasp the essence of things, and our control over the elements remains at the surface level. "
There seemed to be a hint of yearning in Mo Lan's calm tone.
"So if you want to reach the master level, if you want to do whatever you want and cast spells at will, you must study the nature of elements and initially master a certain amount of the nature of elements."
Mo Lan said .
"I can't imagine how terrifying a spell that has already made initial use of the essence of elements would be."
"The mountains collapsed and the earth split, burning the mountains and boiling the sea."
"Yes, the mountains collapsed and the earth split, and the mountains were burned and the sea boiled!"
