Chapter 37 New System
Seeing that I have met all the conditions.
Brian chose to advance without hesitation.
"Advanced Netherese Arcanist!"
"Try to contact the deep leyline structure."
"Attention! The magic network energy is interfering!"
"An unknown conflict has occurred!"
"The advancement of "Netheril Arcanist" failed! ”
…………
For a moment, Brian felt a sharp pain in his brain, as if he had inadvertently touched some kind of terrible high-voltage power grid when climbing over a wall.
He gritted his teeth and endured the sudden pain. He immediately concentrated and used the power "Mind Blank" as quickly as possible to get rid of this pain and force himself to calm down.
Rest for a while, and after he recovered, he began to recall why he failed to advance just now.
There is no doubt that what interfered with him just now was definitely the power from the magic network, which ruthlessly crushed his mental power to try to contact the magic network.
If he hadn't reacted quickly and recovered his mental power in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
It seemed a bit too hasty. How could he undo the waistband of the Magic Goddess so easily?
Brian wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and showed a wry smile.
I have to admit that it is very dangerous to contact the deep magic network rashly.
With insufficient mental strength, it is easy to be defeated by the power of the magic net itself.
This process will not only make him mentally depressed, but in severe cases, it may even permanently lose part of his mental power, or directly reduce his intelligence attributes.
At this time, he could only secretly rejoice that his mental power was still strong enough.
No wonder the spellcasters of Halua gave up their long-established arcanist profession, and instead took the most adaptable wizard as their starting profession.
Brian finally figured out the question that had puzzled him for a long time.
This made him sigh that practice is indeed the shortest way to explore the truth.
As far as he knows.
During the Netheril era, many spellcasters with powerful talents almost all started as arcanists. After level 20, they could directly advance to become great arcanists in the legendary realm.
The level of the Grand Arcanist can even be increased infinitely.
Those with less talent can only focus on wizards. When the wizard profession is raised to about level 10, they will continue to try to hit the arcanist profession, and finally embark on the path of the great arcanist.
Through his previous attempt, he understood that this path was obviously unworkable.
In other words, the goddess of magic limits the caster's abilities too much.
Otherwise, the wizard’s advanced profession, the legendary archmage, would not have lost the potential to continue to improve after it reaches level 5.
Brian's professional level in the game world is level 20 wizard/level 5 archmage.
After the total level is raised to level 25, although he can still gain experience points, his Archmage profession has been capped. If he wants to continue to improve his strength, he can only choose to work part-time or find a way to break through.
Obviously, this is caused by the restrictions on the Magic Network.
With his current strength, all abilities are in line with those of an advanced arcanist. However, when he touched the magic net, he was still strongly bounced back. Anyone who tried to 'open a back door' for him There is no room for it.
It is this restriction that completely blocks the potential for spellcasters to enter the field of arcanists and for other spellcaster professions to continue to improve.
It can be seen from this that the great arcanists of the Netheril era were also a spellcasting group that relied heavily on the magic web.
After thinking about this problem clearly, Brian finally understood why the wizards of Halrua could advance their profession to Grand Arcanist again when they reached the legendary realm.
Because the most critical factor in advancing to become a Grand Arcanist is: casting spells offline!
Unfortunately, with his rebirth, he did not see how the wizards of Halua solved this problem at all.
But he can at least infer that this is definitely related to 'casting spells off the grid'.
Thinking of this, his expression changed, and he immediately took out two blood jade gems from the dimensional bag and embedded them into the Netheril magic ritual array, preparing to try to advance again.
After preparing the magic circle, he thought, and a flame shining with blue-white light floated in front of him.
This is the arcane fire and the key to his off-grid casting.
It was his luck that he obtained the 'mysterious blue flame', the essential energy overflowing from the magic network, and extracted the white silk threads 'strings of the magic network' representing each ring number in the magic network, and integrated them into it. Using the Archmage's special ability 'Arcane Fire', he successfully created a miniature magic network of his own.
Its main function is to be able to cross the medium of the magic network and independently absorb the violent magical energy of nature, allowing him to cast spells even after breaking away from the magic network.
Since the goddess of magic won't open a 'back door' for him to come into contact with the advanced arcanist of the Demon Network, he can use his own way to try new advancements.
Brian no longer hesitated and directly activated the magic ritual circle, focusing all his mental power into the arcane fire.
"Advanced Netherese Arcanist!"
"Try to contact the deep ley line structure."
"Attention! The ley line energy is interfering!"
"An unknown conflict has occurred!"
"Forced interruption!"
"Replaceable found!"
"Attempting to merge!" "Fusion successful!"
"Advanced Netherese Arcanist failed!"
"Arcane Fire is replacing the new career system!"
"The replacement was successful!"
" Attention! The new career system failed to meet the advancement requirements!"
"The new career system failed!"
.........
Seeing this, Brian relaxed and immediately put the Austrian Fire away again.
Although this advancement still ended in failure, at least he found another feasible method.
Then, he immediately checked the conditions required for the new advanced profession to be successfully integrated with Arcane Fire.
New career system (unnamed)
Advanced requirements:
Race: Unlimited
Attributes: Intelligence 20 points
Skills: Knowledge (occult) level 25, Spell Recognition level 25
Spells: Able to cast arcane spells above level 5, Arcane Fire lv5
Special ability: must be able to cast spells off the grid
Special requirements: obtain or familiarize yourself with at least one Naise scroll
…………
“Although the advanced conditions have been improved Quite a few, but the restrictions on Netheril have been lifted and it has become a new arcanist career system," Brian muttered to himself as he looked at the attribute panel.
His attributes and skills have all met the standards. The only thing that cannot meet the requirements is the level of spells and arcane fire.
This means that his battle mage level needs to be raised to at least level 10, and arcane fire needs to be able to release fifth-ring spells.
This is not difficult for him.
If conditions permit, he can even complete career advancement directly in the Underdark.
Brian withdrew his gaze and began to think about some issues about his new career.
Obviously, this has broken away from the restrictions of the remnants of Netheril and has become an arcanist system in the true sense.
After all, this is based on the three major spellcasting areas of Netheril Arcanists, with new changes and enhancements.
And if you want to advance to the Arcanist profession that has been re-evolved by the system, you must first have 'off-network spellcasting'.
This also means that the future of this profession will be completely free from the shackles of the magic network.
Thinking of this, Brian felt a little hopeful.
Later, he looked at his experience points and found that he only had more than 15,000 experience points, which was still far from the 30,000 experience points required for a battle mage to reach level 7.
He thought about it and finally decided to upgrade the level of the psion first.
Upgrading a Psion to Level 5 means awakening the ability to release Level 3 powers.
This is a good enhancement for him.
The Underdark is a place with plenty of monsters. Among their players, a group of five people of at least level 10 is needed to ensure that they can return to the surface safely.
With his current ability, as long as his physical strength is too strong, he is naturally not afraid that there will be no monsters for him to level up.
"Promote the Psion profession level."
"Consume 13,000 experience points."
"Promote the Psion profession to level 5."
"Psionic points gained: 8 Points, additional power points: 3 points. "
"Acquire third-level abilities: Advanced Concealment Membrane, Astral Cocoon, and Psychic Explosion."
"The spiritual crystal servant has an intelligence attribute +1 and gains a special ability: telepathy."
…………
After the level was upgraded, Brian sorted out the items and put everything in the tomb into Putting everything in their original positions is a bit of apology and awe to the owner of the tomb.
After all, this exploration was very rewarding for him.
Not only did he get the Nese Scroll that he had longed for, as well as a legendary weapon, but he also unexpectedly got a legendary soul crystal that was used to make a tower spirit.
On the contrary, those dozens of valuable gems became the cheapest items.
However, this wealth will soon come in handy.
Because of the level up of his arcane fire, it is inevitable to purchase various precious materials.
Of course, Brian thinks that his biggest gain is actually finding the path to advancement as an arcanist and the direction of future development.
This made the stone hanging in his heart finally fall down safely.
After everything was prepared, he was not in a hurry to leave, but decided to rest here for a night to recuperate before continuing his journey to the surface.
