The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

Chapter 68 The Tinkling of a Clear Spring
This time, Moran learned her lesson and was determined to follow every word in the book strictly, without making any assumptions.

Every step in learning magic must be taken with a firm footing.

In order not to miss any information, she not only read through this part of the Clear Spring Technique, but also took out "Clear Spring Tinkling" to read.

The preface to the book "Clear Spring Tinkling" states that it discusses the magical principles, common forms, control techniques, practice directions, and casting efficiency of the Clear Spring spell, making it suitable for witches who can already cast the Clear Spring spell and wish to further improve it.

Once Moran was certain that not reading the book wouldn't affect his initial learning of the Clear Spring Technique, he put the book aside and began to try it out according to what was described in "Ignition, Illumination, and Water Making."

The first step is to experience the spring water and get an accurate impression of it.

Moran placed her left hand in the basin of water.

This step was not difficult; whether in her past life or this one, she was no stranger to water.

In the memories of Blue Star, all kinds of water have appeared endlessly.

When recalling her memories of water, Moran couldn't help but let her thoughts wander again.

The seventh volume of "Valen Continent" states that witches use their will and emotions to drive the magical power in their blood to cast spells.

I wonder if, when she casts a spell, she thinks of sewage, mineral water, or even alcohol, the magic she unleashes might produce sewage, alcohol, or mineral water instead?

If that were possible, wouldn't the witch have her wishes fulfilled in a certain sense?
But before the appearance of witches, the status of sorceresses was not likely to reach this level.

Moran was curious, but he didn't dare to try it. He decided to ask Ms. Amisha about these questions first.

What she needs now is completely pure spring water that she can drink directly.

Clear your mind, recall all your memories of pure water, and deepen your impression.

Holding the wand in his right hand, with the tip pointing at the empty basin of water at his feet, he channeled a tiny bit of magic power, less than half a mana.

Something burst out of the wand!

A stream of water as thick as a thigh poured down from the tip of the staff, submerging the bottom of the basin in seconds.

Water splashed onto her feet.

It worked?!
In his excitement, the water flowed even stronger and overflowed.

"Stop, stop, stop!" Moran quickly withdrew his magic, and the water stopped.

The dormitory was almost flooded, but luckily she had practiced magic infiltration a lot and was much better at controlling magic than before, so she stopped it in time.

She patted her chest, still shaken.

"Don't get excited, don't get excited!"

Emotions have a huge impact on the effectiveness of spellcasting.

She curiously touched the tip of the cane, and found it was still dry: "Isn't that amazing!"

After calming herself down, Moran ran straight to the water tower in the backyard, pointed her wand at the tower, and used half the magic power she had before to try the Clear Spring spell again. Water as thick as her calves poured down.

This time she controlled her emotions, continued to halve her magic output, and produced less spring water, only as thick as her forearm.

She increased her magical output, and the water flow became stronger.

The water tower was filled in no time.

It consumed less than 20 mana of magic power.

I wanted to practice more, but there was nowhere to put the water, so I had to give up.

It was getting late, but Moran lay in bed unable to fall asleep.

She summoned the Book of Cards and took out her character cards.

I stroked the newly appeared "Clear Spring Spell (Apprentice)" on the magic bar, finding it all incredibly novel.

This was the first magic she had ever truly learned on her own!
Apprentice-level Clear Spring Technique!

How are witch magic levels classified again?

By the way, it's based on the maximum percentage of magical power/mana that can be fully utilized when casting this spell. Less than 2% of one's own total magical power/mana is considered Apprentice level.

A score of 2% or higher is considered a beginner level.

A score of 4% or higher is considered intermediate.

A score of 6% or higher is considered advanced.

Reaching 8% is considered the pinnacle.

10% is above the peak.

Moran's current total magic power is 970 Mana.

In other words, if she can cast Clear Spring spell with 19.4 mana of magic power at once, and there is no loss of magic power other than casting, then her Clear Spring spell can be considered to be at the beginner level.

Unfortunately, the water tower wasn't big enough to fully test it. Even when she was able to mobilize the most magic power normally, she only managed to use 2 mana.

It accounts for 0.2% of the total magic power, which is still a long way from 2%.

However, when she increased her magic output later, she clearly felt that it wasn't as easy as when she reduced her magic output.

Although the water flow also increased with the amount of magic output, it was clearly not proportional.

When she outputs half of her mana magic, it's a stream of water as thick as her thigh; when she reduces it by half again, it's a stream of water as thick as her calf.

The water flow rate decreases almost exponentially with the amount of magic output.

However, when she outputs 1 Mana of magic, the water flow is only about one finger's width thicker than when she outputs half Mana. When she outputs 2 Mana of magic, it only increases by half a finger's width.

The more magic power was used, the faster the water flow increased; it was completely disproportionate.

Looking back now, it's possible that the magic was lost during use. But what caused that?

Moran moved her fingers, and the Book of Witches on the bedside table flew over.

Recalling the experience of being hit in the face last time, she sat up and started flipping through the book "The Clear Spring is Tinkling".

"...

One of the factors that affects the effectiveness of the Clear Spring spell is water magic talent.

The Pure Spring Technique is essentially the manifestation of the purest water element.

The higher one's talent in water magic, the higher the efficiency of converting magical power into water elemental power, making it easier to cast the Clear Spring spell by converting magical power into water element.

If one's water magic talent is at the apprentice level, it means that one can only convert less than 1% of their magic power into water elemental power at a time to cast water magic.

Therefore, at most, one can only mobilize less than 1% of their total magical power to cast the Clear Spring spell.

With limited natural talent in water magic, the effectiveness of Clear Spring is largely influenced by one's total magical power; there's not much improvement from practice alone, so it's not recommended to spend too much time and energy on Clear Spring…

Moran is a witch with unlimited magical talent in all elements; the issue of talent does not exist for her.

She continued to look behind her.

"The second factor affecting the effectiveness of the Clear Spring Technique: willpower and command."

Only a precise and clear command of will can direct magical power in one direction.

Any distracting thoughts during spellcasting will lead to unclear instructions, insufficient targeting of magical power, and waste.

Without the guidance and assistance of a wand, the body's self-protection mechanism might directly cause the magic to fail.

Beginners can design specific incantations and gestures to assist in casting spells and make the instructions clearer.

Repeated practice, constant adjustments, and reinforcement can also familiarize your magic with the state you are in when casting the Clear Spring spell.

Once a certain level of proficiency is achieved, it can become a habit, at which point even if the mind wanders while casting the spell, it will not affect the effect of the Clear Spring Spell…
