Chapter 9: prototype

　　 In this way, even though he was confused, Richard still stayed in this place as ordered. He found his own room under the guidance of the spirit body.
　　 The opportunity to be taught by a legendary wizard is more precious to wizards than any treasure. What's more, unlike the other four wizard leaders in the magic tower, Rasputin has never had a student. If the other wizards in the tower heard about it, he would probably sincerely feel envious or even jealous of him.
　　 But Richard did not think so. Compared to feeling happy about this, his heart is more nervous and uneasy. Rasputin said "I believe I can master it within three days", but...what if it doesn't work? He has no confidence in his abilities in the magic way, so far he has not learned any spell, because his magic level is not enough to support himself to try.
　　 Thinking of this, Richard couldn't help sighing. He saw an oil lamp on the table, so he snapped his fingers, and a small flame ignited, and the dim room was gradually saturated with light yellow light. This is the so-called "juggling", he can light candles or stacked leaves, but can not generate a ball of flame out of thin air, which is far from the real spell.
The spirit body following behind passed through his body-although it did not cause any discomfort, seeing the pale blue limbs emerging from his flesh and blood, Richard couldn't help but hit Shivering-the other party came to the table and made a silent gesture to him. He looked there and found scrolls and books on it.
　　 This is the information related to that spell. Although he was a little nervous, he sat down and opened the book. Since he has no confidence in himself, he can only hurry up and learn from the moment. The luminous human figure floating in the air bowed to him and disappeared outside the door.
　　
　　 Three days passed in a flash. During this period of time, through studying the contents of the books, Richard realized that many of his previous views on wizards were incorrect.
　　 For example, the ability of a wizard is closely related to the level of magic power, but the latter is not a sufficient condition. The assessment for determining the rank of a wizard seems very simple, as long as it can release a spell that reaches this rank, but it does not mean that as long as the magic power meets the requirements, the spell can be successfully cast. In addition to magic power, to master a spell, another necessary condition is needed: that is the "prototype" of the spell.
　　 The so-called prototype is composed of a series of complex symbols, graphics and numbers, including the internal structure of the spell, and the trajectory and speed of how the magic element works in it. The prototype cannot be recorded through language and text, because it is constantly changing, and it can only be mastered by deriving the middle law.
　　 This is why knowledge is extremely important for wizards. Wizards must use their predecessors' experience through learning and derive their own prototypes from fixed spells.
　　 There are two proverbs in the wizarding world. One is "There are no two identical archetypes in the world", and the other is "It is impossible for a man to construct the same archetype twice", which just explains its essence.
　　The spells that Rasputin taught him are only part of a large-scale ritual spell, and the requirements for magic are not high. It was just the first experience for Richard to derive the prototype itself. In the absence of no one to teach, there are still some difficulties in the beginning.
　　 But he was quickly surprised to find that his knowledge of his previous life came in handy, especially mathematics. The method of deriving prototypes through spells was similar to analytical equations. Richard sometimes feels that the work of wizards is somewhat similar to that of scientists or academics on earth, especially in research methods and exploration spirit.
　　 He often heard wizards put the word "pursuing the truth" on their lips. This is not baseless falsehood.
　　 Actually, it is about prototypes, which is the basic knowledge of apprentices, but no one has ever taught him. Through the study of this part of the content, some past puzzles will be easily solved: for example, why tricks such as lighting candles are not considered real spells, because they can be released without building prototypes; and why the level of wizards Divided into ten levels and five levels.
　　 He felt unreasonable before, because this division could be more simple and clear, but now he can understand it. The level of spells that mortals can master is divided into five stages, corresponding to five levels; but the gap between wizards at the same level is likely to be very obvious: only a wizard who can master a high-level spell can Known as high-level wizards, those who have mastered more than ten types are also high-level wizards, so it is necessary to divide each level into two levels based on the strength of magic power and the number of spells mastered.
　　 Late at night on the third day, when he completely immersed his consciousness in the starry sky during the meditation process, UU read www. The uukanshu.com apprentice saw the prototype reflected in my heart for the first time. He kept it firmly in his mind, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of accomplishment in his heart.
　　 The first-level magic prototype is only composed of simple and irregularly changing symbols, and the complexity of the prototype will increase geometrically as the level increases.
For example, a good official wizard can master dozens or even hundreds of spells of the same rank, but at the deepest legendary stage, even those famous and great wizards recorded in history generally do not master more than two to three legendary spells. . Of course, the above are all things that Richard cannot imagine now, and they are too far away from him.
　　 No matter what, he successfully learned the spell in three days and completed the task given him by the great magic tower leader.
　　 In the early morning of the fourth day, Richard opened his eyes. After three days of almost endless study, he fell asleep in bed shortly after completing the prototype. After waking up, he was refreshed, and when he was about to get out of bed and put on his shoes, his movements stiffened in place. The reason was the faintly glowing silhouette of someone standing beside the pillow.
　　 "I hope I can be reminded next time..."
　　 Richard couldn't help smiling wryly. The other party naturally did not respond.
　　 He knew the purpose of the spirit body coming, so he settled his mind and made sure that his state was okay before speaking.
　　 "Take me over."
　　
　　 He returned to the hall filled with the ocean of spirits, where he saw the true face of Noveh Rasputin for the first time.
　　 The wizard leader, wearing a black robe, holding a snake stick, and wearing a silver-white mask on his face, stood gloomy and silent in the middle of the hall. Richard had long heard that this legendary wizard in the psychic field was a secretist, but he never expected that he would never be seen by anyone.
