Chapter 650: Downgrade + longevity = unlimited upgrade

Xia Duo stayed in the territory for a day. Although he had gained a lot from the research of Feld's spellbook, he still did not make a decision on whether to upgrade.
Under the current conditions, it is really difficult for him to make such a decision that is likely to affect a lifetime.
However, Xia Duo's hesitation is not completely negative. As a traverser, he has never lacked transcendental thinking and vision.
The best time to create the Arcane Fire is at the 5 levels, which are woven by grabbing the strings of the magic net from the first five levels. This is personally verified by a large number of spellcasters in Netheril. This is based on the current recognition of Xia Duo. , And not sure to overthrow it.
But after the upgrade, it must not go back?
Xia Duo believes it is possible, not only from the game data on the earth, there are indeed spells such as [energy absorption] and [disability]. In this real magical world, it is not because of spells. Experiment errors lead to a reduction in the casting level, or even a case of total loss.
Extending a bit, isn't it such a downgrade spell?
This is equivalent to depriving the wizard of the magic net and lowering the caster's cast level. If it can be accurately downgraded to the 5th level, won't you be able to recreate the arcane fire!
As for the re-upgrade afterwards, it is enough to proceed step by step, unless the memory is also deprived of synchronization, otherwise it is really too easy to re-upgrade.
If there is such a spell, Xia Duo speculates that it should be a combat spell, temporarily lowering the enemy's spell casting level, even if it can be restored or cancelled, it is not an instant matter, and at this moment, it is likely to be dead. Up.
At the same time, if there is such a spell, it should also be a spell that ignores protection. If it is necessary to break the target's protection before using it, it is really better to use a direct killing spell.
If he can master this spell, it's like mastering the regret potion. The battle effect is second. The key is that it can be used as a strategic spell to facilitate the re-creation of the Arcane Fire by the Arcanist who has lost the Arcane Fire.
Even an archmage who missed the 10th level can go back and try it out to see if he can create his own arcane fire.
If such spells are combined with life-extending spells, the base of arcanists will be greatly expanded, and in the same way, those who can eventually become great arcanists will also be greatly improved.
...
After Xia Duo decided to wait for the dragon disaster or the threat of drow to be lifted, he went to visit a former mage who had lost all spell casting levels due to a spell experiment error. He was also a rather legendary mainland lord.
This was the only one who was able to determine the identity of Xia Duo among all the people whose casting level had been reduced.
Other cases are usually described as "a mage in a mage tower", and the conclusion is usually "depression, no news" or "recovery, no news".
It is possible to determine the information of the mage tower where it is located, but the specific name and identity are often hidden. After all, this is not a glorious thing.
Of course, Xia Duo also guessed that the recorder himself might have heard what someone said, and then he just took notes like this, and he didn't even want to determine the identity, name and other information in the past.
If you really want to inquire, you should be able to inquire, but going to an unfamiliar mage tower to inquire about the privacy of the mage is somewhat wrong, it is better to visit the legendary lord directly.
At least that person didn't shy away from talking about the experimental accident, but often took it out to warn others, which is why Xia Duo knew such specific information.
And the first time Chateau heard of the Lord Rason, it was not because of his experimental accident that the caster level was lost, but because of the miracle.
It is rumored that the Lord of Radiance once performed a miracle under the leader of Leyson, and the news was passed to Savile. It can be seen that the scope of the influence is large, but Xia Duo is very cautious in matters related to the gods, and does not have too much inquire about.
It was not until later that I heard the rumors about Lord Rason again, that the two news were linked together, and they knew that they were from the same place.
...
If everything goes well with Lei Sen and you can understand some of the details of Lord Le Sen's spell experiment, then Xia Duo will choose to upgrade; if it does not go well, Xia Duo will still postpone the upgrade.
Until he researched downgrading spells by himself, or inquired about the relevant details in other downgrading cases.
And his goal during the Dragon Disaster is to complete the decryption of Feld's spellbook as soon as possible, and at the same time design and manufacture his own spellbook. As for the research in the general direction of [plane], in fact, he waited until he became a senior arcanist. It's not too late to start again.
If you use the analogy of experience on earth, then--
In Xia Duo's view, before arcanists were high school students at most, advanced arcanists were admitted to college, and senior arcanists were considered graduate students and needed to choose a specific direction for research.
...
Back to Savile, there was no news from Orips from the Silver Leaf family, but the town hall was surrounded again, but this time it was not the elves, but the human merchants.
Most of them had escaped from the city of Conifer, but at the same time, some merchants originally led by Savile mixed in and surrounded the entrance of the town hall. The scene was so lively.
When Xia Duo arrived, he happened to see this scene, reminding him of the situation he accidentally heard when he was searching for traces of drow radiation in the trade zone the night before, and his heart suddenly became angry.
During the day before yesterday, these merchants saw a fleet coming from the north ~EbookFREE.me~ and started to connect in the evening. They wanted to unite and put pressure on the Savile leader and let the fleet take them back to the north.
If they didn't know that they were connected in advance, Xia Duo had planned to allocate some positions to these human businessmen. After all, these businessmen aside from the escorts, stewards, porters, etc., there are actually not many people.
Send the leader away, and the remaining people will be well arranged.
And now these people are connected in series, and they have made such a big momentum. Although in fact, it has intensified the desire of the elves to buy "ship tickets", Xia Duoke will not appreciate them at all.
On the contrary, they feel that this is a mob.
Is it not good to file a lawsuit normally? It was necessary to complete this set. Although Xia Duo promised to send all of them on the ship, although he normally filed a lawsuit, it was the rules and order.
Even if it was Chateau himself, he would respect and abide by any order he created. (A manifestation of order is law, and law is actually a tool to safeguard the interests of the ruling class)
...
Xia Duo descended from the sky and summoned a gust of wind to the crowd around the town hall. At the same time, he kept searching through the crowd. When he found the target, he immediately used the psychic spell [instruct] on it.
The day before yesterday’s failure to use mental spells on Drow did not reappear in this human merchant. Even without the [Shock] front, the simple [Instruction] quickly took effect.
The human businessman realized that he was under the control of the spell, his face turned pale in an instant, and at the same time, his eyes turned sharply, as if he wanted to find a way to get out.
But no matter what he thought in his heart, his body still couldn't help but walked out of the crowd under Xia Duo's order, and came to the gate of the town hall, in front of Xia Duo.
