Arcane Lord

"It's not difficult to store spells for the first time!"

Next, Xia Duo deposited four [Steam Rays] in the magic network in one breath, and when he wanted to deposit the fifth one, he could not succeed.

Xia Duo knew that this was the limit of his current spell slots - four level 1 spell slots.

What he knew from the book was that most new mages only had one or two level 1 spell slots, but he had four, which was enough to prove his potential.

Generally speaking, the number of the highest-level spell slots currently possessed is approximately equal to the spellcasting level.

That is, a level 1 mage has one 1st level spell slot and level 2 has two; a level 3 mage has three 2nd level spell slots and level 4 has four.

Of course, there are not only the highest level spell slots, high-level spell slots can be converted into low-level spell slots.

For example, a 2nd level spell slot can be converted into two 1st level spell slots; a 3rd level spell slot can be converted into one 1st level spell slot + one 2nd level spell slot.

Currently, Xia Duo's highest spell level is level 1. This cannot be verified, but something like this that can be written in black and white in a book and is easy to verify should not be fake.

And you only need to wait until his spellcasting level reaches level 3 to verify this.

The so-called spell casting level is also very interesting. It has little to do with the caster's personal strength, but is based on the spells he masters.

Mastering one 1st level spell counts as level 1; mastering multiple 1st level spells counts as level 2, but even if you master 10 million 1st level spells, it is the same as a caster who masters two 1st level spells——

It’s still level 2!

Only when you have mastered level 2 spells will your spellcasting level be considered level 3, and so on.

Since Xia Duo now has both the ordinary spell [Steam Ray] and the blood spell, he can actually be regarded as a level 2 mage.

But there is actually not much point in worrying about these. All low-level mages below level 5 have no welfare differences between low-level mages, and only those who have reached the intermediate level can become a master.

This is the rule of the Tower of Time. If you are a student of some famous great arcanist, maybe you have to become a great arcanist to be considered as a master, or maybe you are not qualified to be an apprentice if you are not an arcanist?

Regarding these, Xia Duo can only think about it for the time being, and continuing the experiment is what he has to do.

He has now completed the spell storage part, and the results were surprisingly smooth. He succeeded without a single failure, and Sha Duo was overjoyed to have four level 1 spell slots.

The next release of the storage spell will surely not disappoint him!

…

The fact is - he was not disappointed!

With just a thought, the [steam ray] stored in the magic network was released. A finger-thick high-temperature steam ray shot out from Xia Duo's fingertips and impacted the target dummy.

It made a sizzling sound and at the same time a puff of water mist rose.

When the water mist dissipated, the dummy was not damaged at all. This is normal. The real target of [steam ray] is living creatures, not targets.

It carries high temperature, as well as the temperature emitted when the steam condenses. A momentary contact is enough to burn or even cook the hit area. It is an efficient non-fatal incapacitation spell.

The instant cast is indeed instant, but in terms of operability, the stored spell is more mechanical. Basically, it will be in the same state when it is stored in it, and it will be in the same state when it is released.

Spells like [Steam Ray] that take effect immediately are okay, just release it and forget about it. If it is a spell that requires continuous guidance, then this kind of stored spell is not as flexible as manual casting.

But no matter what, instant casting is an unparalleled advantage.

…

After releasing the first storage spell, Xia Duo immediately released the rest. For a moment, this small magic laboratory was filled with warm water vapor.

Xia Duo felt a little uncomfortable, so he subconsciously used his bloodline ability to gather them together, and finally formed a water ball the size of a fist, which Xia Duo dispersed.

The water created by this spell, although drinkable, is easily dispersed by the spell.

After doing all this, Xia Duo realized that his current spell-casting ability was not only four 1-level spells, but he had not tested how many he had.

All I know is that during a normal rest period, there is no chance to use up all the spells.

It happened to be night now and he could rest soon. Xia Duo decided to test his limits.

Of course, the first step is to use up the spell slots, otherwise tomorrow's spell casting times will be wasted again.

But this time, Shado did not store all the [Steam Ray] in all the spell slots. Instead, he used his bloodline ability to create an [Ice Blade] spell, and then stored this spell in the spell slots.

Although Xia Duo cannot cast [Steam Ray] instantly, spells from his bloodline can be cast instantly, and even bloodline spells can be stored in the magic network.

It's just that the stored blood spells have become ordinary spells and have lost their changeable and easy-to-control characteristics. If you want to control it flexibly, you still need to understand its principles like ordinary spells and practice more.

Simply casting spells with bloodline abilities does not require understanding of the principles, or even practice. The proficiency level has reached "full", allowing him to master spells of level 1 so easily.

Of course, for now, it is limited to spells related to "water", and the specific effect of this spell depends largely on his imagination.

To sum it up in one sentence, warlocks are born with the ability to cast spells, but the specific effects depend on imagination.

This is the ability of a warlock. Such a simple and crude way to obtain power almost made Sha Duo waver in his path as a mage.

But Xia Duo also knew that his warlock ability would probably always stay at level 1, while the power of the mage was traceable and had almost no restrictions.

It is impossible for him to give up the path of a mage for the sake of the illusory bloodline ability.

If his warlock abilities can also be upgraded in sequence, then Xia Duo will have to think carefully about whether it is worth wasting so much time on studying spells.

Xia Duo was not a natural seeker of truth. His original intention in learning magic was very simple, that is, to gain strength, the power to protect himself, and even the power to obtain some kind of benefit.

Of course, in the process of learning magic, he also experienced fun. If the warlock's ability can really be improved, he may not give up the path of the mage, but it is very possible to relax.

Having been in the Mage Tower for so long, he is relatively familiar with the profession of mage. I say profession because some people really regard him as a profession, similar to butchers and craftsmen.

As long as you can make money.

But there are also some people who sincerely pursue the ultimate in magic, but there are just very few of them. Xia Duo considers himself not that kind of person.

There is 1 [Ice Blade] spell and 3 [Steam Rays] stored in the spell slot. The [Ice Blade] is also stored with the thought of when it might be used.

In fact, the power of this [ice blade] may not be as powerful as his knife! His one-handed strength now exceeds 100 pounds, and his old fists can crush people to death.

The 100 pounds here is not Xia Duo's ultimate strength, it just means that holding something around 100 pounds does not feel too strenuous.

In other words, he can use weapons weighing about 100 pounds flexibly, and other people's heavy weapons become light weapons for him.

Once he put on the armor, he felt that he could challenge high-level warriors, and his lack of skills could be made up for with strength.

Who wants to be a "diaosi war" if he can only be a "Master"!

And even with Xia Duo's physique and strength, as long as he can't fly or teleport, he will eventually fall in the crowd tactics.

Xia Duo always adheres to the magic line and remains unwavering!
