458 The growing Netheril (2)
“I’m very interested in Arcana.”
it’s similar to the spell-casting system I’ve mastered, but it’s also different.
Garen and éolme were exchanging arcane spells and the spells that garen had mastered.
protection, curses, evocation … Eight big sects.”
“A very fine division of spells.”
After hearing about the different schools of magic, ioram’s eyes brightened slightly, and he was also very interested in the magic system that garen was learning.
in comparison, there is no clear division of Arcana here. There are roughly three types.
Éolmer talked about Arcana.
energy creation, spirit, transformation.
creation and destruction, control of the mind and will, and transform different substances.
powerful Arcanists will dabble in these three types of Arcana at the same time, just like me.
Garen listened quietly.
Arcane spells were powerful, and their effects were purer and more powerful than ordinary spells. Since he had come to this world that was dominated by arcane spells, he intended to study arcane spells and increase his understanding of the essence of spells.
Ioram gave garen some basic Arcanist spell books.
In return, garen also gave a portion of the basic spellbooks of the eight major guilds to ioram.
Both of them were powerful spell casters, and the knowledge of spells from different systems could allow one to draw parallels from them. Even if one did not study them, just understanding them could increase one’s spell attainments.
compared to the spells in your world, arcane spells seem to be more … Primitive.”
While communicating with garen, iolham muttered softly.
Garen was deep in thought, and nodded, ” “Your description is very appropriate.”
Primitive.
Arcane arts did give garen this feeling.
Not only that, but Aladia’s Wind and Fire spell also had a primitive feeling.
This kind of primitive spell had unquestionable power.
The spells of the eight major schools were more precise and detailed, and had more diverse uses. They could do almost anything, but compared to the primitive and somewhat crude arcane spells, garen felt that their power had dropped by more than one level.
Each had its own advantages and disadvantages.
Garen stretched out his Dragon Claw and gently brushed it, causing the air to flow at a steady pace.
without the weave, how would arcane spells be affected? ”
In garen’s field of vision, the elemental energy interweaved into a fine network, covering the sky and the earth. Although he could not touch it directly, the magic net really existed.
we’ll cast arcane spells through the magic net.
without the magic net, a low-level Arcanist might not be able to cast a single arcane spell.
but an Arcanist of my level can still use some arcane spells when prepared, but the power will be reduced and the difficulty will be much higher.
Arcanists were too reliant on the weave … Garen thought to himself.
Or rather …
It was not that Arcanists relied on the magic net, but rather the Arcanists of Faerun. The magic net had existed since they had an understanding of the world. When they studied Arcana, they were used to relying on the power of the magic net to make their research easier.
if something happens to the weave, these Arcanists might suffer a huge loss.
Garen had already learned from éolme that the magic net was not naturally born in Faerun continent. It was a creation of the goddess of magic.
The goddess of magic was a pure and powerful God.
He believed that mortals also had the right to cast powerful magic.
Garen could tell from ioram’s tone that this Grand Arcanist did not have much respect for the gods. He only had a certain amount of respect for the goddess of magic, because the magic net was not an extremely stable structure. Powerful spells would destroy the stability of the magic net, and the goddess of magic was always paying attention to the magic net, quietly repairing the damage to the magic net.
Garen came from a world without the magic net.
The assistance of the magic net was certainly worth rejoicing.
However, if the existence of the magic web became a necessity, it would be a fatal potential threat to garen.
Ioram was very well organized. In the exchange of knowledge between spell casters, he had shown his sincerity and answered almost all of garen’s questions. Hence, garen decided to give this Grand Arcanist a reminder.
ioram, the magic net is fast and convenient to cast, but it can’t be eternal.
even gods have times when they fall, not to mention their creations.
I think you can study more arcane spells that don’t need the help of the weave in case you need it.
A sincere smile appeared on the Grand Arcanist’s old face. when I first became a Grand Arcanist, I understood that Arcana that relies on the magic net has certain hidden dangers.
“However, our magic system is built on the soil of the magic net.”
it’s not easy to leave the magic net. People are already used to orderly elemental energy.
“But …”
Ioram waved the spellbook of the school of curses in his hand and said, ” but I saw a new path from the magic knowledge you brought.
Because there was no magic net, the spells on the Noah continent were all about the control of chaotic elemental energy. They did not need the help of the magic net. The basic framework was very different from arcane spells, and the foundation, which never existed, was the most difficult step.
the knowledge I obtained from you is more precious to me than the knowledge I gave you.
“I owe you a favor.”
if you need my help, I won’t refuse if it’s within my ability.
