Ethan has mentioned it more than once in his current books. When a magician absorbs energy for the first time and transforms it into magic power that he can drive, he must be cautious, especially when it comes to the choice of energy, never make casual decisions.
For example, in elemental energy, the wizard who generally speaking just entered must select a certain element. This energy will not only give the magician better control over the element, but it will also affect the wizard himself.
Spirit strength is assimilated in reverse, and attributes with some of this kind of energy are still light. Extreme energies such as evil energy can even affect the character and thinking of the mage. Over time Even become another person completely.
This is why all energy can be used as magic power for the wizard, but most wizards are very taboo against some extreme energies.
Ethan initially set his goal on the energy of Water Element, except that the first magic he learned was water making (however, making water is not at all using the magic power of Water Element attribute, it is simply spirit The application of strength, strictly speaking, does not count as Water Attribute magic), the most important reason is that the calm sea is a world full of water, and Water Attribute magic can be greatly enhanced in this environment.
At the same time, Ice Attribute, a variant of Water Attribute, is equally versatile and it is also handsome to use!
Of course, for a real magician, it's not like the setting in the game. After choosing certain element energy as your magic power, you can't use magic other than that element. It's just that, relatively speaking, the speed of magic power and the consumption of energy will vary according to the degree of conflict between your magic and your own magic.
Relatively speaking, the pure element magician based on the Water Element energy is somewhat half the results for twice the effort when using Fire Attribute magic.
Of course, there are many mages like Ishandrola who are proficient in the three elements, but either they have completely controlled the elemental energy, and the magical power contains more than one elemental energy. Another kind of energy serves as the basis of its own magic power, and this kind of energy has strong plasticity and can be transformed at will-such as Arcane energy.
"If I guess right, you at first want to absorb the energy of the Water Element, and start your own path of the mage from the control of the element attribute."
Actually, in magician In the world, there are not that many miscellaneous classifications. There is no difference between Arcanist or even the blue stripe of the magic net system. The real magician simply won't let himself have shortcomings in magic knowledge. They know almost all the relevant knowledge. You can freely switch the casting method and the attributes of your own magic power'.
But in the pursuit of this goal, the influence of magic attributes on the mage will determine how long he walks on this road, and even determine where a mage ends.
"Yes."
Ethan has been living here in Merlin for two days. During these two days, Merlin was not at all teaching, but he has conducted all aspects of Ethan's abilities. Assessment, until now he started to prepare for teaching.
"Actually, what is wrong with your choice not at all? If I were in your situation, I might also make such a decision." Merlin considered his words: "However, if I have a path that suits you well, but it will be more difficult to walk, but the future achievements will be extremely great, then are you interested?"
Ethan is a little puzzled because Merlin said this It's too general.
"A huge achievement? How huge is it?"
Merlin thought for a while, maybe he is choosing a reference that Ethan can understand straightforwardly and clearly? Finally, he thought about making a comparison directly with himself.
"I don't know how strong it will be in the end. It depends on you, not something else... But if you can continue this path firmly, then your ultimate achievement is at least It won't be lower than I am now."
Ethan's heartbeat became uncontrollable a little faster. Fortunately, he was also a person who had seen the "big world face". After a while, he had regained his calmness, not at all lost self-control in front of Merlin.
"Able to observe the endless plane, and be able to break the plane barrier, and even have the strength to completely destroy a plane?"
The first point Ethan is sure that Merlin can do it; The probability of the second point is also great! As for destroying a plane, this is hard to say, but the most conservative estimate is that it should not be difficult for Merlin to destroy a planet-Gu Yi who protects Earth from being invaded by the multiverse if you let go of your hands, Earth It is estimated that it is not enough for her to toss.
This does not mean that these two wizards can smash the world with a punch or a forbidden spell, but that these two wizards have countless hole cards. For example, Gu Yi, if she is willing to plunge into the darkness and release Domain...
This is where the mage's terrifying is, no one knows what they can or even do? This unknown is also one of the reasons why people are jealous and fearful.
Ethan also wants to become such a mage, so he is very interested in the path Merlin proposed.
"You should know that mages are based on powerful spirit strength, controlling energy, and achieving their own goals. Whether it is Fireball Technique or more profound magic, it is essentially the same."
Ethan nodded, wait for the following.
"Therefore, spirit strength is the foundation of wizards. The improvement of spirit strength means being able to manipulate more energy, which is equivalent to being able to perform more powerful magic and achieve higher goals."
Ethan is not qualified for spiritual strength, so he has been working hard to cultivate to improve spirit strength, and since the moment the time-space pointer appeared, he has also exercised his spirit strength more or less for more than seven years. Only have the current level-the the last point is to be able to start to become a mage.
"In fact, the power of spiritual strength is not only to allow the mage to use more energy but also more benefits."
Spirit strength is the foundation of the mage, The degree of its importance is naturally beyond doubt, and the extent to which the mages' research and treatment of spiritual strength are beyond Ethan's previous imagination.
In contrast, the secret of spiritual strength has also been studied by mages. As a top magician, Merlin has reached a considerable level of understanding of spiritual strength.
"In addition to the control of energy, the strength of spirit strength also determines the primary and secondary position between you and magic."
"What does this mean?"
Merlin explained it in detail before Ethan understood. The relationship between magician and magic energy is not so simple a master-slave relationship.
To put it simply, the magician must be able to figure out his own limits when raising his spirit strength, to avoid absorbing too much magic energy and being invaded by energy.
As Ethan saw in the book before, the energy absorbed by the magician's spirit is conversely 'polluted' which is the mildest symptom, and the more serious it is that the character is affected.
For example, some Fire Attribute mages start to become irritable after cultivation to a certain extent, because they have ingested Fire Element energy beyond their control.
"For example, if the spiritual strength is one, then these spirit strengths can perfectly control ten units of magic power. Once this value is exceeded, there will be a danger."
Of course, this is not absolute, spirit. The amount of strength can be the same, but the quality is different, so Merlin's words are just to facilitate understanding.
When Ethan heard this, he seemed to understand what Merlin meant: "You mean, let me continue to focus on cultivation spirit strength, instead of absorbing energy early to transform it into magic?"
Merlin laughed and shook his head directly to deny Ethan's guess: "Actually, the path I suggest to you requires you not to take in external energy to transform it into magic."
Ethan was stunned, unable to guess exactly what path Merlin had designed for himself.
"You should know that in addition to absorbing external energy, the wizards themselves can also nurture magic."
He shook his head, Ethan hasn't touched this yet, but according to the introduction in the books he read, after the wizards consume and transform energy into magic power, and then consume their own stored magic power, in addition to absorbing the same attribute energy from the outside world again, they can indeed restore consumption by themselves.
From this point, we can know that the wizards themselves can produce magic power.
"The magic power generated by the wizards is different from the energy absorbed by the outside world. It has stronger plasticity. It can even be said to be the purest magical energy, and its plasticity is the strongest."
Merlin said here helplessly sighed: "Unfortunately when many wizards are aware of this, their spirit strength has been more or less contaminated by external energy. The magical attribute bred in this situation is inevitable. Will get closer to the energy attribute he had previously absorbed. The specific amount depends on the degree to which the mage's spirit is contaminated."
It is for this reason that the mage calls the invasion of external energy into their own spiritual strength. As 'pollution'. The mages also have many different ways to deal with this situation. But no matter how they respond, they will waste more time and energy before reaching the end.
Ethan heard this and made up a good professional class. He remembered his previous decision. With his own spiritual strength, he would almost inevitably be polluted by the energy of Water Attribute. Don't talk about what he wants in the future. Learning to absorb other attribute energies, just after the spiritual strength is contaminated, there is a risk of decreasing the strength control of space-time energy-no, it should definitely decrease.
Ethan, who suddenly consciously avoided a hardship, gradually understood the path Merlin wanted to take by himself.
"The path you arranged for me, is it to continue to focus on cultivation spirit strength, and then rely solely on your own spiritual strength to nurture magical energy?"
Merlin nodded with a smile, Ethan this Guessed correctly this time, he did suggest that Ethan take this path.
It's just that the difficulty of this road is countless times more difficult than the path of an ordinary wizard, especially in Early-Stage, where almost the inability to use any magic will make Ethan not much better than an ordinary person. Therefore, he feels that Ethan may need a period of careful consideration before deciding whether or not to take this path.
What didn't expect was that Ethan made a decision much faster than he thought, and gave him the answer on the spot.
"Don't think about it, I will choose this way."
