Chapter 25 25: Study! The upper limit of magic!
The bookstore owner may be weak.
But this does not affect his professionalism in choosing books.
In fact, being able to take over a bookstore in Hogsmeade Village is enough to prove that the boss may not have any business acumen, but he must have a pure love for books and knowledge.
The three textbooks he selected for Ian are all very suitable for beginners. From simple to less simple, beginners can quickly cross the threshold of learning.
"Magic Phonetic Table": This is a phonetic table of ancient runes. It contains the text, meaning and standard and correct pronunciation of ancient runes.
"A Simple Introduction to Ancient Runes": As the name suggests, after learning how to read ancient runes, if you want to further understand the basic knowledge of runes, it is right to read it.
"Advanced Magic Text Translation": This should be a compilation of knowledge that truly involves the use of ancient magic texts in rune learning. It can truly allow learners to understand how to understand texts compiled by runes.
……
Three step-by-step textbooks.
It was enough for Ian to gradually step into the threshold of learning ancient magic texts.
Of course.
Even if there are reasonable learning steps, the learning threshold for knowledge such as ancient magic texts is definitely not low. Indeed, as the bookstore owner said, it is difficult for most people to learn it.
“His! It’s really difficult!”
Ian held the "Magic Phonetic Chart" and sat in front of the window of the cabin to read.
Golden sunlight penetrated the gauze curtains.
It was sprinkled in every corner of the room, covering this quiet space with a layer of golden gauze, but it failed to change Ian's somewhat depressed mood.
He has been studying it carefully for a while, but it is still difficult to learn the simplest magic text pronunciation, which also results in his personal panel never being able to add a new skill.
How to say it.
It’s really difficult.
In fact, if you think about it, you can understand that if the ancient magic script was not too complicated and difficult to learn, how could it be so quickly replaced by the magic spells of modern wizards as a medium for magic release?
That’s right.
Ancient magic text.
As well as today's magic spells such as "fluorescence" and "forgetfulness".
In fact, they are just media for the release of magic.
Wizards went from choosing ancient magic texts as the medium of magic to using easy-to-understand magic spells as the medium. During this period, they must have gone through a process of "survival of the fittest".
To be honest, the upper limit of ancient magic texts is actually much higher than that of magic spells. This is why many powerful wizards will be exposed to it as they grow up.
However.
The upper limit of the ancient magic text will only open the door to outstanding people. For those mediocre people, the lower limit given by the ancient magic text is also shockingly low.
Ancient times.
Many young wizards have died due to the instability of magic.
Similarly.
There are also many wizards like Ian now, who have been stuck in the stage of not getting started for a long time, resulting in wasted time, and it may be difficult to release a few decent magics even when they are old.
Early years.
Many witches and wizards were sent to the stake by ordinary people. This was probably due to the fact that the popular magic medium of that period was still dominated by ancient magic texts.
The emergence of the curse.
Improved the learning difficulty for mid-level and lower-level wizards.
This is the most important reason why magic spells replaced ancient magic texts.
After all.
They are the largest group among wizards. Comparing ancient magic texts with modern magic spells is actually equivalent to the relationship between automatic transmission cars and manual transmission cars.
"I hope the magic given by Teacher Mara is a powerful one, otherwise my suffering will be in vain!" Ian's tongue is not particularly flexible.
But runes are among the earliest creations that evolved based on the characteristics of magical creatures and plants. They naturally contain many syllables that are difficult for human vocal cords to imitate.
This makes Ian feel bad.
However.
He did not give up learning.
This also made Huang Tian finally live up to his intentions.
[Successfully understand the spelling and spelling of runes, and gain +1 proficiency in rune proficiency]
Ancient magic texts are difficult to learn.
Fortunately, Ian's talent may not be among the best, but he can still be regarded as the best, so he won't waste his life unable to learn a few runes. character. After a lot of hard work.
He gained something.
As Ian learned to spell the first rune character, a new skill appeared on his personal panel, and the "epiphany" feature given by the panel began to play a role.
[Successfully understand the spelling and pronunciation of runes, and obtain rune proficiency +1]
[Language proficiency and proficiency +12]
[Successfully understand the spelling and pronunciation. Runes, gain Rune Mastery proficiency +1】
[Successfully understand spelling and spelling runes, gain rune proficiency +1]
[Language proficiency +12]
……
Some things .
When the first step is taken.
The rest will be much simpler because of the existence of plug-ins. At least for Ian, this principle is very correct, and he can understand it every time his proficiency improves.
However.
Compared with the improvement progress of other skills, the proficiency of [Rune Mastery] obviously increases much more slowly. Fortunately, learning this ancient rune seems to also improve the proficiency of [Language Mastery]. .
The numerical value has been improved quite a lot.
It probably has something to do with the fact that ancient magic text is also a language, and it is the most difficult language to learn. It will present a separate skill state, probably because it is not just a language.
Ancient magic text.
The most common is ancient runes.
This is the secret that human wizards dug out from various magical creatures and plants when they first explored the mysteries of magic. It is the earliest bridge for human wizards to come into contact with and control magic.
Most ancient magic and ancient alchemy were created on this basis. In the barbaric period of the Magic Age, magic text was the best carrier to carry and release magic.
It can be regarded as a special circuit. When magic flows along this circuit, it can form ancient magic that is quite unfamiliar to today's wizards.
Same reason.
When it is engraved on ancient alchemical creations, the alchemical creations will naturally be endowed with this property, so that ancient wizards can even capture time with alchemical creations.
With the evolution of magic text.
This kind of magical medium, which is very difficult to learn and may cause deviations and unstable disasters if you are not careful, has fallen into disrepair because of two creations that have evolved over time.
First item.
Naturally, in order to stabilize the release of magic, change the difficulty of learning magic, and reduce the danger, people created the [Wand], a cross-generational product of the wizard's "wheelchair."
It is like a magic stabilizer.
Can make spell casting more stable and easier.
With the development of the times again.
The emergence of wand cores has enhanced the importance of [magic wands] and added something else to the magic used by wizards. Each wand core has unique characteristics and effects.
Such a situation.
Increased the power of magic.
Similarly.
Also increases the danger of magic.
A variety of catastrophic magic accidents increased rapidly... As a result, modern magic spells simplified from ancient magic texts were born in the research of wizards due to the needs of the times.
It simplifies the magic circuit, which naturally greatly reduces the power of magic. However, its easier to learn and safer features make it the darling of the times.
With the existence of the Ministry of Magic.
Most wizards have no use for powerful magic at all. Therefore, when you think about it, it is not that the magic spells that lack the ability to protect themselves have gradually replaced the role of magic texts.
Of course.
For those wizards who pursue higher magical attainments, the learning and application of runes is still an unavoidable process, but what was once the pillar of the magical world has finally become a carnival for a small number of talented people. .
No one can tell whether this is good or bad.
No one can say clearly whether with the development of the times, magic spells will gradually follow the old path of ancient magic texts. Perhaps, some parts of history have actually been advancing for a long time but no one noticed it.
After all.
Change always begins quietly.
