Chapter 32: Commonality of Witchcraft (seeking for further reading)
Richard felt that although he only spent 500 points of energy this time, he felt that his level of control over the Grasp of Shadow should be beyond the entry level.
I immediately called up the panel and saw that, sure enough, it was clearly displayed in the witchcraft column:
[Witchcraft]: Rodrigo Meditation (roughly 3%, Secret Technique: Secondary Spiritual Impact), Grasp of Shadow (roughly 2%), Manipulation of Skeletons (Skill 16%)
This suddenly surprised Richard. You must know that Shadow Grasp is one of the strongest shadow-based zero-level witchcrafts. Originally, he expected that after consuming 500 points of energy to trigger inspiration, he could It was good enough for him to successfully enter the Grasp of Shadows, but unexpectedly, he was directly promoted to the superficial level.
To achieve this effect in reality, it would take at least half a year of hard work day and night! Moreover, there will be no backlash if a witchcraft model fails to be built in a dream, but in the real world, there will be a slight mental backlash if a model fails to be built, and it requires a half-day of rest or meditation to alleviate the problem before it can be built again.
This effect was a bit unreasonably powerful. Richard was pacing back and forth, frowning!
After thinking hard for a long time, Richard seemed to be able to think of only one more reasonable explanation, which was the commonality of witchcraft.
If he had not practiced the Rodrigue Meditation Method before and had no experience in mentally sketching runes in his mind, then when he learned the Grasp of Shadow this time, he would have to spend a lot more energy points!
This time, he had a high success rate when outlining the runes in his dream. This had something to do with the fact that he had first practiced the Rodrigo Meditation Method!
Richard figured this out and was immediately overjoyed. If this was the case, it meant that when he learned other zero-level witchcraft, triggering inspiration would consume only a small amount of energy, which would make his subsequent witchcraft learning plan more feasible. Much in advance.
However, this is just a conjecture at the moment and needs to be verified!
Richard thought for a long time, glanced at the last 500 points of energy left on the panel, and had a preliminary idea in his mind to verify it, so he immediately continued to practice.
[It was discovered that the host is practicing the zero-level witchcraft Shadow Grip. Did/do you consume energy to gain inspiration for practicing the zero-level witchcraft Shadow Grip? 】
This time, Richard moved the slider to 500 on the far right without hesitation, and selected "Yes!"
This time, Richard seemed to have transformed into a figure again, and began to work day and night in the empty wilderness. He chanted a spell and cast the witchcraft of Shadow Grasp.
Since he already knew some of the witchcraft details of the Shadow Grasp last time, he had mastered some tricks. So this time in the dream, he was able to skillfully control the big shadow hand to perform different operations such as stopping, clenching, and punching hard.
As various insights came to mind, Richard finally understood why the Grasp of Shadow witchcraft required a skilled level of skeleton manipulation.
For example, Richard is now able to freely separate his mental power and extend five tentacles, connecting them to the Shadow Grip witchcraft, which means that he can freely control every finger of the shadow hand. Naturally You can change your palm into a fist and your fist into a fist at will.
After the soul returned to the body, Richard called up the panel and took a look.
[Witchcraft]: Rodrigo Meditation (rough 3%, Secret Technique: Secondary Spiritual Impact), Shadow Grasp (skilled 34%), Skeleton Control (skilled 16%) "Hey, not bad, I actually broke through the rough level
. , directly entered the proficient level, I thought it would stay at the superficial level!" Li Cha was stunned and immediately overjoyed.
Richard couldn't restrain his excitement, and immediately in his dormitory, he carefully used the witchcraft of Shadow Grip. His goal was to grab the chair with his big shadow hand and take it over.
As Richard's spell sounded, a big black hand with a diameter of about two meters appeared out of thin air and quickly grasped the wooden chair. The moment he grabbed it, the chair was crushed to pieces with a "click"!
That's right, it means smashing, not falling apart!
While marveling at the power, Richard also felt that he was still unable to control the strength of the Shadow Grip at a proficient level. It seemed that if he wanted to use his arms and fingers like an arm, he must at least reach the proficiency level.
Now, he is at the stage where he can hit wherever he wants.
Just when Richard was about to try it again, he suddenly felt a stinging pain in his head and hot liquid flowing out of his nose. He touched it casually and hissed! It was actually a nosebleed! This is a sign that your mental energy is about to be exhausted!
Richard was shocked!
After a long period of relief, Richard finally felt better. He thought about it carefully, and in the final analysis, it might be a problem with his total mental power. At present, the multiple changes in the Grasp of Shadow witchcraft will consume additional mental power, so he almost used up his little mental power just now. Once drained.
It seems that the next step is to find ways to improve your mental strength!
After going around and around, we still come back to the issue of mental talent.
In addition to running the Rodrigo meditation method once a day, be sure to find ways to find some potions or rare herbs that can enhance your mental power.
But obviously, even if these things are sold in the school, they will definitely be at a sky-high price!
So the problem actually turns into how to earn magic stones efficiently.
To earn magic stones, the first-level wizard apprenticeship stage is nothing more than either doing a side job or going out to complete tasks!
For Richard, the most cost-effective thing is definitely to hunt monsters, earning both magic stones and energy points.
Early the next morning, Richard took all the books he borrowed last time and hurried to the library.
The administrator on duty today in the library happens to be the old man who handled the books that Richard borrowed half a month ago. When he saw Richard coming to return "The Grasp of Shadows", he immediately recalled the scene that day, so he said with a smile: " How about it, young man, it's hard to get started with the Grasp of Shadow, and now you've wasted the magic stone!"
Well. Richard was stunned and didn't know how to answer.
Seeing the stunned Richard, the old man thought that Richard was a little embarrassed, and said with relief: "Fortunately, I only wasted half a month. It's not too late to choose other witchcraft now." "Thank you for reminding me, sir." Administrator
. It was a kind intention after all, so Richard didn't say much, just expressed his gratitude.
"Go, young man!" The old man waved his hand, and Richard came to the second floor in a familiar way.
As a result, to the old man's surprise, Richard did not go to the second floor at all. Instead, he came out after rummaging through the bookshelves on the first floor.
The old man was immediately surprised to know that there were no witchcraft books on the first floor. The bookshelves on the first floor were filled with common sense books.
After Richard came out, the old man took a closer look at the books that Richard had borrowed. They turned out to be five common sense books including "List of Common Herbs in Silt Swamps", "Illustrated Manual of Common Monsters in Silt Swamps", and "Wild Survival Guide".
The old man suddenly shook his head and thought, "Oh! I thought I was a persevering young man, but I didn't expect to give up when I encountered setbacks!" But after a while, the old man couldn't help but persuaded: "Young man, no more Have you chosen other witchcraft books? If you can’t learn Grasp of Shadows, you can learn sleight of hand first.”
