Above the mage!

Chapter 347 Direction and Guidance

First clarify the needs, and then make specific designs based on the needs.

This is the design idea for most products, and rune construction is usually also carried out according to this idea.

Based on this idea, Gaode first listed its basic situation:
Mage level: 1st level mage

Mental Power: 186
Mana: 26 drops of liquid

Spells: Cantrip 44, 23st-level spell
Expertise: [Adaptive] (Intermediate Ice Blessing Body, Dharma Ninja Body)
Additional: Mandorla's Eyes Level 1 (72/) - Farsightedness, Insight, Delusion Breaking

Obviously, his strength is his outstanding mental power. He also masters many spells. Combined with his specialty [Adaptation], he can be said to have comprehensive means and is basically capable of dealing with most special situations.

The disadvantage is that the total amount of mana is too small to support him to cast spells to his heart's content.

In addition, there is a big mana consumer called the "Third-Level Mandorla's Eye", which requires you to be frugal when using it normally.

Another problem is that the first ring of attack spells is relatively scarce, with only one [Frozen Blade+].

Although the strength of [Frozen Blade+] is high enough, even super strong, but because of this, it is generally used as a trump card and is not cast easily, and it is a single-target spell.

As a result, most of Gaode’s current battle scenes are based on magic tricks.

What rune construction needs to do is to play to one's strengths and avoid one's weaknesses.

After analyzing its strengths and weaknesses, Amap quickly determined its needs:
Improve endurance and increase damage.

The design of the former can be completely referenced from [Breath of the Wild] created by mentor He Xi.

This set of rune construction can be said to have achieved the ultimate in improving endurance.

As for the latter, AutoNavi needs to design it independently.

After determining the needs and direction, Gaode immediately began the formal design of the rune construction.

That is, the drawing of the rune construction design.

Magic circles have array diagrams, and runes have rune diagrams. Both are common in the field of runes.

But for rune construction, blueprints are a completely new concept.

The reason is very simple. In the existing rune system, "rune adjustment rate" is a threshold that cannot be avoided.

Through rune adjustment, the rune master can confirm whether the runes can form a magic circle, whether they can take effect, and whether they can be successfully drawn on the selected magic conductive material. Based on the results of the rune adjustment, the rune composition, arrangement pattern, position and connection method can be adjusted.

When it comes to rune construction, the complexity of this matter has been raised to the extreme, so much so that there is no room for construction design drawings at all - each set of rune construction is customized by the rune constructor through little adjustments made through rune adjustment rates.

Of course, for Gaode, this is already an old-fashioned method of making rune constructs.

He studied the new rune system created by He Xi, the core of which was no longer the "rune adjustment rate" of the extraordinary side, but the "calculation" of the mathematical side.

With the help of the six basic rules of runes, he can first design the magic circle, and then through calculation, determine whether the magic circle can be successfully drawn with magic conductive materials.

"Four first-level magic gathering runes, separated by four diffusion runes, and then embedded with a first-level storage rune."

As for improving the endurance, with [Breath of the Wild] as a reference, Gaode quickly finalized the design ideas and made a preliminary design drawing.

But when it comes to increasing the means of damage, Gaode ran into difficulties.

This was not because of his lack of creativity or his weak foundation. The biggest reason was that He Xi passed away too early and taught him too little, and Gao De had seen too few rune constructions, or only the [Breath of the Wild] set, so he didn't know where to start.

Just like writing, no matter how talented an author is, he or she needs to read enough works before he or she can write his or her own work.

Gao De put down his writing and fell into deep thought.

Anna, who had been watching Gode quietly, curiously stretched her head over and looked at what Gode wrote on the parchment. After looking at it for a while, she asked, "Brother, what are you thinking about?"

"I'm thinking about designing a rune construct that can increase the means of attack. Where should I start?" Gao De, who was in a state of concentration, did not realize who the question came from, but answered instinctively and subconsciously.

Anna noticed Goder's distress and contemplation, pouted her lips, thought seriously, and reminded him in a baby voice: "With so many magic gathering runes and storage runes, why not add some conversion and output runes?"

Gao De was stunned for a moment, then clapped his hands, "Yes!"

With an idea in mind, Gao De immediately started writing again, excitedly and attentively perfecting the design.

Anna, who had already stretched out her little head, did not retract it. Instead, she just opened her eyes wide and watched Gode's every move carefully.

Once the idea is opened up, it is not that difficult for Gaode to implement it.

After only about ten minutes, a preliminary set of rune construction blueprints had been designed.

Of course, it's really very preliminary.

Because calculations must be performed to verify whether the magic array is established, and then corresponding adjustments must be made based on the calculation results until it is completely established.

Before that, the specific size of the magic-conducting materials used to construct the rune must be determined.

The latter is not difficult. Gaode designed it for himself and he knows his own body data very well.

As for the magic-conducting materials, he thought deeply about it and decided to use bronze, which is extremely commonly used in making first-level rune constructs and has a very high cost-effectiveness, as the main material.

Chalcanthite is a variant of brass, and its magic resistance is similar to that of brass. After testing by Ho Xi, it is 0.456%, that is, R=.

Its magic conductivity is not outstanding among all the extraordinary materials, but it has two major advantages: it is extremely easy to shape and relatively cheap.

Once the magic conducting material is determined, the magic resistance rate will also be determined.

In this case, we can calculate the robustness value through the six basic rules of runes.

"No, the first rune array is not valid. The actual robustness value exceeds the theoretical robustness value of 9.52. We need to reduce the actual robustness value or increase the theoretical maximum robustness value."

"To increase the theoretical robustness value, either increase the number of runes and the number of rune pairs, or choose a magic-conducting material with a low magic resistance rate. The latter is not considered for now, but the former."

"My current rune process number has reached the second level, which is 7, but the second-level rune construction is too much for me. I can't wear it for the time being, so I can only make rune construction according to the first-level rune process number, which is 5."

"Based on the area, this area can have up to 31 basic runes drawn on it. Currently, there are 28, and 3 more can be added."

"Add two level one magic gathering runes and one diffusion rune."

"It's still exceeded. Then we have to reduce the actual robustness value and change the four first-level magic gathering runes into lower-energy secondary runes, that is, zero-level magic gathering runes."

"This is now established. Let's proceed with the calculation and adjustment of the next rune array."
