Chapter 53: Magic theory.
Whew boy... holy shit.
Let's get this over with. Mordova have mercy on my soul.
- " Alright, so the basis of Magithread theory is the concept of Mana as a fluid within our world. "
Alexander - " Hmm, that's an interesting theory in it's own right. "
- " Yes, so Magic as a liquid as a few different hypothetical applications, Mana saturation was my first confirmed theory.
So, think of the system like a completely flat surface, and spell constructs are different walls you create on that surface.
Depending on the type of walls you create, and their shapes... you get different outputs with what you pour out.
- "The best example is basic wind magic, do you use chant or circle magic? "
A - " I prefer to use circle magic. "
- " Alright then, so create a magic circle for the basic gust spell. "
* zing *
- " Alright, now make the same gust spell while keeping the other one intact. "
* Zing - Zwip! *
- " So, when you use both of these at the same time, it creates two sources of the air with equal power. But, if you were to layer the circles on top of each other... "
A - " Layering the Circles? "
- " Yes, this will help you see. "
A - " Alright... "
* Zing -zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz pop! *
- " Alright, the circles are now within the same plane right? They line up exactly... but that isn't truely the case. You've heard of the 4 dimension theory correct? "
A - " Yes, we use that concept sometimes with space magic. "
- " Yes, you see the magic is lined up perfectly from our perspective... but in 4d it's not perfect at all. In order to perfect this, try and use these Mana vision lenses I have. "
-
A - " ah, I see... the Mana that's leaking out naturally over time is in different directions... "
- " Yes, try and rotate both of them untill they line up. "
| Warning: You are about to create a dangerous spell capable of a hurricane. |
System, just nullify the effects somewhat... I got a magic null skill right?
| Confirmed... |
- " Alright, since your done with that now, I'm activating a magic nullification ability. Try and fire the magic. "
A - " Huh it couldn't be th- "
The effects of the simple gust spell was muitiplied by 16 times with magic null active. Simply to say it was no small wind... unfortunately since I'm not a full caster I won't be able to pull that off.
- " This is the effect of making the walls on the Mana plane stronger, you get a more accurate result in what the spell is truly designed to do with the magic power it holds. The liquid is only and dangerous as it's containment. "
A - " Just this alone... imagine an advanced spell layer on top of each other like that... especially without Magic null... "
- " Yes, but that isn't the only way to mess with spells. For example, spells can interact with each other... such as wind magic boosting fire type magic. "
A - " How is that so? "
- " To understand the full complexities of magic combinations, you must understand the elements it's derived from. Fire, how does it burn? "
A - " Fuel, right? "
- " Yes, but what happens when you dump water into a fire? "
A - " It gets put out? "
- " Of course, now why does that happen? "
A - " Is it something related to Mana? "
- " No, actually. You see, fire needs three things to be in existence. Fuel, Air, and heat.
A heat source is responsible for the initial ignition of fire, and is also needed maintain fire and enable it's spread, Heat allows fire to spread by drying out and preheating nearby fuel and warming surrounding air.
Fire is a result of combustion, which is a rapid exothermic reaction. This reaction requires oxygen in absence of which, combustion cannot occur. That's why the fire doesn't burn in absence of oxygen.
Fuel is self explanatory. "
A - " So much complexity, just in normal fire alone! "
- " Yes, quite. So, the way fire spells work is that Mana is substitute for fuel, Wich is also used to provide friction for heat. But the way that it creates friction Is a bit weird. You see, it doesn't use normal Mana for this, but rather a flavoured " Fire " Mana Wich produces heat when gathered.
For other forms of Magic, similar methods are used. Ice is the result in a low temperature in water, so the Mana created for that is an Anti-Heat Mana Wich destroys heat. This allows the creation of Ice and also is why fire mages and ice mages counter each other. Neither can use spells properly if they are of the same power. "
A - " Ahh, so for more complex spells... you mix these types of Mana in a way that provides a better result? "
- " Yes, to do so... you must align different spells on top of each other, such as the simple blaze spell and the gust spell. The complexity lies in the merging of such, as different Mana types have different ways of combining. Wind has one output, but fire outputs in all directions at the same time. "
A - " Alright... so like that... and that.... ah! Done ! "
- " Good job, eventually you'll be able to combine high level spells together, like Typhoon and Buster Blaze. But just before that, I'll teach you one simple trick that I love to use when making fire magic. "
A - " Another trick of yours? "
- " Yep, this one is tricky though. Fire likes to move around alot, when an area is full of dust it likes to leap between the dust particles... causing an explosion. Try and combine the weakest Earth magic you can possibly make and fire, specifically try and make the Earth magic form into dust. "
A - " Dust? That's simple for an ArchMage!"
...
A - " So, I guess it wasn't. Making it into a specific form is quite hard, but eventually I did it. I have it all combined and ready! "
- " Alright, I'm going to quickly warp you out of here so you can unleash it. "
Warp to Ruby's house!
| Confirmed |
| Warping... complete |
- " Alright, see that house? Blow it up. "
A - " Alright! "
* Boom *
Instantly, a large explosion destroyed the simple modern house on the plains... leaving a crater behind and a very angry Ruby.
- "Take that Ruby you manipulating bitch!"
Warp us back.
| Warping... |
| Warp complete. |
A - " Who was that women Teacher? "
- " Ruby, the chick that mind controlled me for a couple of decades. "
A - " Ah, I see why you had me blow up her house."
- " Yeah Yeah, anyways... have you seen the periodic table of elements? "
A - " You mean the one from the Players world? Yes. I've studied it quite the bit, I even have a micro scope! "
- " Alright, here is a list of instructions on making fire blue. "
| Add a small amount of water to copper (I) chloride to dissolve the salt.
Copy the material to Earth magic
When you light it or add it to a normal fire you will get blue fire. |
- " Anyways, that's all for now. With this amount of info you'll be able to fully complete magic thread theory. I hope to see you master it like I have. "
...
Unblock the dude I did a few hours ago.
| Of course, reminder it's now 3am... sleep recommend |
No problem system, after this I'm going to sleep for an entire day.
- " Alright, Crunch. You ready to learn how to make a car? "
C - " Hell yeah! "
" Alright, first off you need Mana Crystals. Mana Crystals can be programmed to emit a certain type of Mana in a certain way. "
C - " So... how does that make a car? "
- " The main idea, since we aren't allowed to make actual cars... is to instead create makeshift hover cars using Mana Crystals, using wind crystals to push it upwards and wind to push forwards and steer. "
C - " Got it, thanks! "
... He disappeared.
I wasn't finished but... whatever. It's late, I should get some sleep...system, warp me into my bed...
