Legend has it that in ancient times, the priests drew figures of the starry sky on precious natural materials for divination, and accidentally drew the first magical element on a magic crystal, obtaining artificial flames. For millions of years, people have regarded this flame as the sacred fire.
When the magic civilization was in its infancy, ancient alchemists discovered magical elements of water, wood, earth and wind. They no longer directly painted them on magic crystals, but used magic metal to draw them into magic items, and the crystals were used as replacement magic sources. This method greatly improves the efficiency of magic crystals.
After that, after tens of thousands of years of evolution and development, magicians can now draw complex magic arrays that are dazzling, but the five magical elements that have been passed down for a long time are composed of all these magic arrays.
When you focus on drawing magical elements, your mental power will undergo wonderful changes, which is the origin of the magician.
…
Magical primitives are the cornerstone of the entire human magic world.
——Excerpt from “Introduction to Magical Formation”
Wesley said that Professor Victor has been devoted to his various experiments recently and has no time to study in class. It seems that everyone has to rely on self-study for this year’s magical Formation courses. What he didn’t know was that the culprit was his cleaner partner.
Donner has been studying materials science with Victor every night. The composition and chemical properties of most substances in this world are very similar to those of the earth. However, Donner failed to try to synthesize gunpowder, which somewhat disappointed him. Starting from the previous few days, Victor began to organize and summarize the experimental data, and it is said that he wanted to write a long paper.
During the day, Donner read the book list that Wesley gave him in the library. The first-year courses in the college are very simple, including graphics, magic materials, pharmacy, etc., which are basically equivalent to the most basic geometry, physics, and chemistry courses. What attracted Donner was the two magic courses, “Introduction to Magic Formation” and “Introduction to Magic Model”.
Although the figures of the five magical primitives are very small but not complicated, the effect of a single magical primitive is so weak that it can only be effective directly on the magical crystal. At the moment when the magical primitives are so precious, this practice is undoubtedly a waste of resources. Magic arrays that are truly practical are very complex. For example, a small fireball magic array requires the use of flame gold to depict hundreds of fire-type magical primitives. These primitives are arranged according to special rules and their density must not be lower than a certain critical value.
Use various magic metals to repeatedly draw magical elements, and the most basic spiritual elements will naturally form in the spiritual world of a few people. These people are considered to have magical talents. However, the process of drawing elements is very mentally consuming, and ordinary people may lead to mental disorder if they are not careful; even magic apprentices cannot devote themselves to this for a long time, otherwise there will be a risk of mental power failure. So, the collegeFirst-year students must practice drawing five-type magical elements under the guidance of teachers. If no series of mental power has been condensed within a year, then dropping out of school is a wise choice.
The unconscious mental power element formed by the primitives is slowly accumulated, and the total amount of divine energy formed is called mental power. The individual divine energy is like the magic energy and has almost no effect. They must be combined into magic models in the spiritual world to have the possibility of casting magic. The ability to build complex models is closely related to the number of divine essences. Therefore, students in the second and third grades of the college spend their main energy on drawing elements and accumulating mental power, in order to advance to the primary magic apprentice as soon as possible.
The built magic model is the form of magic being stored in the spiritual world. Once it is exerted, the mental power is consumed and time is needed to recover.
“The shapes of water waves, flames, tree branches, hills, and abstract winds, these five basic magical elements are the key to opening the magic world.” Donna vaguely felt that these figures had a strange feeling, but they couldn’t explain the specific strangeness. Maybe this was the mystery of magic. However, he dared not take risks easily without teacher guidance, and, in addition, he had no magic metal to practice.
