Above the mage!

Chapter 150 I can't continue this class

The spell model of [Insect Spawn] is a standard ten-node cantrip model.

Gaode took a pen and paper and spent several minutes to establish a coordinate system, converting the ten nodes into corresponding three-element array coordinates.

After spending some time memorizing the ten ternary groups, he began to attempt to construct the [Insect Spawn] spell model.

"Spell Application and Combat" is one of the three compulsory courses in Seres College, and its content and form are extremely rich.

The first few classes are purely theoretical classes.

After the theoretical class, the teaching venue changed from the classroom to an outdoor magic experiment field.

The spell experiment field was established by the academy specifically for students and instructors to experiment with the power of spells.

After all, spells generally have great destructive power and come with various additional special effects, such as the corrosiveness of acid splashes and so on.

Otherwise, we should set up a special place for mages to practice their magic. If we allow mages to cast spells anywhere, the academy will be demolished sooner or later.
As a magic experiment field, it was naturally built in the most remote location of the academy, far away from the crowd to avoid disturbing others.

It covers a large area and is surrounded by a circle of gray and solid granite, with some complicated complex runes painted on the walls.

Gaode, who has been studying runes for more than a month, can recognize the basic zero-level runes such as "solidification", "magic gathering", and "isolation".

This is to prevent some mages with questionable accuracy from casting spells out of the venue, as well as some powerful mages who fail to control their spells and cause the aftermath of the spell to rush out of the experimental field and accidentally injure passers-by.

The magic experiment field has a large public area and separate private rooms.

The advantage of large public venues is that they are cheap to use, but the disadvantage is that you have to use them with others, which may not only disturb others but also expose the magic you have mastered.

Most mages attach great importance to the three major principles of mages and are unwilling to expose their spells.

Therefore, private rooms with high usage fees and smaller space are more popular.

Of course, since it is a class, it can only be conducted in a large public venue.

Plus, it's free.

It is possible that the course fee includes the cost of using the spell experiment field.

The large public venue was very spacious, and its area was about the same size as a comprehensive athletic field in Gaode’s previous life.

Dozens of trial puppets made by the alchemy department were placed in the center of the venue.

Yes, it is a trial puppet made from the water-gold ore mined during the freshman admission mission.

The puppet's entire body is light gold in color, and its surface is carved with fine patterns.

The eyes embedded on the left and right are black modules like electronic display screens, but the surface is not completely smooth. Instead, it is covered with tiny runes and grooves. It is currently unknown what their function is.

"The same spell, not to mention the huge difference in power between a mage apprentice and a first-level mage, can also be very different even if it is in the hands of mages of the same level."

"The use, control and understanding of magic can make the same spell completely different in the hands of different mages."

"Mastering a spell is not just about building a spell model. Successfully building a spell model is only the starting point for mastering the spell. How to use it specifically is a more profound and long-term subject."

Faron, the instructor of "Magic Application and Combat", was talking with saliva flying.

Gao De listened carefully and agreed with it.

It's like the same Tai Chi, but in the hands of Zhang Sanfeng, it's a small force to move a large object, come at one to beat one, come in pairs to beat in pairs.

In the hands of the old man in the park, if you dare to come, you will be required to pay a huge sum of money.

Of course, this category is quite extreme, but that’s what it means.

"You may not understand yet. Let me give you an example." Seeing that everyone was listening attentively, Fallon nodded with satisfaction.

He decided to give everyone a live demonstration to deepen the students' impression and make them pay more attention to the subsequent practical operations.

"The Hand of the Mage should be a trick that all of you have mastered." As he spoke, Faron performed the Hand of the Mage.

He controlled the wizard's hand and moved it closer to one of the trial puppets.

"As you all 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 weighing more than 10 pounds."

"Of course, this limitation can be increased as your wizard level increases. For example, my current wizard hand can carry objects over 30 pounds."

"Another limitation is that the Mage's Hand can only perform simple actions. It cannot complete complex instructions." "But this limitation can be overcome through practice, as your understanding and mastery of it improves."

"You guys watch carefully"

Under the gaze of everyone, Faron manipulated the wizard's hand to operate on the chest of the trial puppet.

It was several metal parts connected together in a very clever way, so that a thin shell similar to a crab shell was seamlessly fitted onto the puppet's chest.

What Fallon has to do now is to disassemble these metal parts.

This job is not difficult, but it is very delicate.

The Mage's Hand can perform a certain degree of manipulation, but it is not capable of such highly delicate manipulations.

But after some effort, Faron actually controlled the wizard's hands and disassembled those metal parts.

Then, he removed the outer shell on the puppet's chest, revealing a groove on the puppet's chest.

There is a magic crystal 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 magic crystal with all its energy consumed from the groove.

Then, Faron controlled the wizard's hand to take out a brand new standard magic crystal from a box nearby and put it into the groove.

"The use of the trial puppet requires the consumption of magic crystals for energy." While demonstrating, Faron also introduced the trial puppet to everyone.

Seeing that the magic crystal had been installed, Faron nodded with satisfaction and released the Mage's Hand. "When you can use the Mage's Hand to replace the magic crystal for the trial puppet like I do, then you will have mastered the Mage's Hand."

"Of course, it is unlikely for you to reach my level in a short period of time, but don't be discouraged." As he spoke, Fallon's eyes swept across the faces of the students, finally stopping on the face of one student.

"You try it."

"Me?" Goder, who was randomly picked by Faron, was a little confused.

"Yes, use the Mage's Hand to try what I just did." Faron nodded and pointed to another puppet that was testing the magic on the side.

Allowing students to experience it firsthand and then compare it with his demonstration just now can better demonstrate that "the use, control and understanding of magic can make the same spell completely different in the hands of different wizards."

Gao De was a little embarrassed and hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded and stood up.

With a thought in his mind, he activated the [Mage's Hand +] spell model in the sea of ​​spells, summoning an invisible ghost hand and moving it to the chest of the trial puppet.

Faron smiled slightly, already anticipating what was going to happen next.

He calmly bent down, picked up the metal parts on the ground, and assembled them on the chest of the trial puppet with his hands.

——Compared to disassembly, assembly is more delicate and is no longer something that a wizard can do alone. It must be done personally.

Just as Faron had put the outer shell in place, he heard a crisp click.

This is the sound of the mechanism on the puppet's chest being unlocked. Huh?!

Faron's eyes widened and he turned to look in the direction of the sound.

It was the trial puppet that he had designated for Gao De to try. The outer shell on its chest had been opened.

Under Faron's astonished gaze, Gode controlled the mage's hand as he had just demonstrated, taking out the magic crystal with exhausted energy and replacing it with a new one.

"How did he disassemble the metal parts of the trial puppet?" Faron, who missed the previous disassembly process because he was busy assembling the parts, couldn't help but wonder.

But Gord wasn’t done yet.

After replacing the magic crystal for the test puppet, he controlled the mage's hand with a focused expression, picked up the metal parts temporarily placed on the ground, and operated them on the puppet's chest awkwardly.

Assembly is much more difficult than disassembly.

And Gaode was not prepared to reveal that he had two mage hands, and could only control one mage hand to perform operations, so he also felt a little difficult.

Fortunately, after some effort, he managed to cover the "shell" on the chest of the trial puppet.

Seeing that everything was done, Gao De breathed a sigh of relief, raised his head to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and came back to his senses from his state of concentration.

"Master Faron, is this right?" he asked, looking at Faron.
