Chapter 150 I can’t continue with this lesson
The spell model of [Insect Swarm Rebirth] is a standard ten-node magic model.
Gaode took out a pen and paper, spent a few minutes establishing a coordinate system, and converted the ten nodes into corresponding triplet array coordinates.
After spending some more time and memorizing these ten triplet arrays, he began to try to build the [Insect Swarm Rebirth] spell model.
"Spell Application and Combat" is one of the three required courses at Sires Academy, and it is extremely rich in content and form.
The first few courses are purely theoretical courses.
After the theoretical class ended, the teaching venue changed from the classroom to an outdoor magic experimental field.
The Spell Experimental Field is a place established by the academy specifically for students and instructors to experiment with the power of spells.
After all, spells are generally very destructive and have various additional special effects, such as the corrosiveness of acid splash, etc.
If a special venue is not set up for the mages to try out spells, and the mages are allowed to cast spells wherever they want, the academy will be demolished sooner or later
As a magic experiment site, it is naturally established in the most remote location of the academy, far away from the crowd, so as not to disturb the people.
It also occupies a large area and is surrounded by a circle of gray and solid granite. Some complex compound runes are also painted on the walls.
Having studied runes for more than a month, Gaode can recognize the zero-level basic runes such as "solidification", "gathering demons", and "isolation".
This is to prevent some mage whose accuracy is questionable from blasting their spells out of the field, and some powerful mage who temporarily fails to stop, causing the aftermath of the spell's power to rush out of the experimental site and inadvertently injure passers-by.
The Spell Experimental Field has a large public venue and individual private rooms.
The advantage of a large public venue is that the usage fee is cheap. The disadvantage is that you have to use it with others, which may cause interruptions and expose the spells you master.
Most mages attach great importance to the three principles of mages and do not want their spells to be exposed.
Hence, the usage fee is expensive, and private rooms with smaller venues are more popular.
Of course, since it is a class, it can only be held in a large public venue.
Plus, it’s free.
Maybe the course fee includes the cost of using the spell experimental field.
The large public venue is very spacious, about the same size as a comprehensive track and field field in Gothe's previous life.
In the center of the venue are dozens of trial puppets made by the alchemy department.
Yes, it is a trial puppet made from the hydrogold ore mined in the freshman admission mission.
The whole body of the puppet is the pale gold color of water gold ore, and its surface is also carved with fine lines.
The eyes inlaid on the left and right are black modules like electronic displays, but the surface is not completely smooth, but is covered with small runes and grooves. It is currently unknown what their purpose is.
"The same spell has a huge difference in power between the hands of a mage apprentice and a first-level mage. Even in the hands of mages of the same level, there will be a huge difference."
"The use, control and understanding of spells can make the same spell completely different in the hands of different mages."
"Mastering a spell does not mean just building a spell model. The successful construction of the spell model is only the starting point for mastering the spell. How to use it specifically is a more profound and long-term knowledge."
Falon, the instructor of "Spell Application and Combat", spoke with spittle.
Gaode listened very carefully and agreed quite a bit.
Just like the same Tai Chi, in the hands of Zhang Sanfeng, it is to use four ounces to hit one, and to hit one pair.
In the hands of the old man of the park, you will be asked to pay thousands of gold if you dare to come.
Of course, this analogy is extreme, but that’s what it means.
"You may not understand yet, let me give you an example." Seeing that everyone was listening attentively, Falon nodded with satisfaction.
He decided to give everyone a live demonstration to deepen the students' impression and make them more attentive to the next practical operation.
"Mage's Hand should be a trick that all of you have mastered." As he said this, Falon was already performing Mage's Hand.
He controlled the mage's hand to approach one of the spell-testing puppets.
"As you know, the Mage's Hand can replace our hands to manipulate, carry or move objects in most cases. It is a very frequently used trick."
"However, the Mage's Hand also has limitations. One is that it cannot carry objects exceeding 10 pounds."
"Of course, this limitation can be increased as your mage level increases, such as My current mage's hand can carry more than 30 pounds of objects. "
"Another limitation is that the mage's hand can only perform some simple actions, and it cannot complete complex instructions."
"This limitation can be broken through practice and as the understanding and mastery of it improves."
"Look at it."
Under the gaze of everyone, Falon controlled the mage's hand to operate on the chest of the puppet.
It is a few metal parts, connected together in a very clever way, so that a thin shell similar to a crab shell can be seamlessly attached to the puppet's chest.
What Falon has to do now is to dismantle these metal parts.
This work is not difficult, but it is very delicate.
The mage's hands can perform operations to a certain extent, but they are not capable of such highly delicate operations.
After some hard work, Falon actually controlled the mage's hands to really dismantle the metal parts.
Then, he took off the shell on the puppet's chest, revealing a groove on the chest of the puppet.
There is a magic crystal placed in the groove, but it has turned gray, which means that the energy in it has been exhausted.
Faron temporarily placed the metal parts on the ground, and then took out the energy-drained magic crystal from the groove.
Immediately afterwards, Falon controlled the mage's hand to take out a brand new standard magic crystal from the box on the side and put it into the groove.
"The use of the trial puppet requires the consumption of magic crystals for energy." While demonstrating, Falon also introduced the trial puppet to everyone.
Seeing that the magic crystal has been installed, Falon nodded with satisfaction and released the mage's hand. "When will you be able to use the mage's hand to replace the magic crystal for the spell-testing puppet like me, then you will have gained control over the mage's hand. "Of course, it is impossible for you to reach my level in a short time, but don't be discouraged." As he said this, Falon's eyes swept over the faces of the students, and finally stopped on the face of one student.
"Come and give it a try."
"Me?" Gothe, who was randomly selected by Falon, was a little confused.
"Yes, you use the mage's hand to try what I just did." Falon nodded and pointed to another puppet on the side.
Let the student experience it for himself and then compare it with the demonstration he just gave, so that he can better reflect that "the use, control and understanding of spells can make the same spell completely different in the hands of different mages."
Gaode was slightly embarrassed. He hesitated for a moment, then nodded and stood up.
With a thought in his mind, he activated the [Mage's Hand+] spell model in the sea of spells, summoned an invisible ghost hand, and moved it to the chest of the spell-testing puppet.
Faron smiled slightly, already anticipating what would happen next.
He calmly bent down to pick up the metal parts on the ground, and assembled them on the chest of the trial puppet with both hands.
——Compared with disassembly, assembly is more delicate and is no longer something that a mage can do. You must do it yourself.
Just as Falon put the shell in place, he heard a crisp click.
This is the sound of the trap on the chest of the trial puppet being opened. Huh? !
Faron's eyes widened and he turned his head to look in the direction of the source of the sound.
It was the experimental puppet that he designated for Gothe to try. The shell on its chest had been opened.
Under Falon's stunned eyes, Gothe controlled the mage's hand as he just demonstrated, taking out the energy-depleted magic crystal and replacing it with a new one.
"How did he dismantle the metal parts of the trial puppet?" Falon, who missed the previous disassembly process because he was busy assembling the parts, couldn't help but wonder.
But Gaode is not done yet.
After replacing the magic crystal for the puppet, he controlled the mage's hand with concentration, picked up the metal parts temporarily placed on the ground, and began to operate on the chest of the puppet unfamiliarly.
Assembling is far more difficult than disassembling.
Gothe was not prepared to reveal that he had two mage hands, and could only operate one mage hand, so he also felt a bit difficult.
But fortunately, after a lot of hard work, he was able to cover the "shell" on the chest of the trial puppet with difficulty.
Seeing that everything was over, Gothe breathed out a sigh of relief, raised his head and wiped the sweat on his forehead, and came back from his state of concentration.
"Teacher Falon, is that so?" He looked at Falon and asked.
