Bloodline Wizard's Dragon Transformation Diary

Chapter 210 The Strange Resonance Between Spell Environment, Spell Structure, and Spell Units

But this time, when that feeling surged up, Loon suppressed the urge to cast the spell. Instead, he maintained the state of the spell's preparation and focused his attention on the spell model, carefully observing and feeling its changes.

Upon this observation, Loon immediately noticed the difference between the spell model of Thunderclap and the previous one.

Currently, the spell model of Thunderclap is a basic spell unit. Although basic, it is also a complete model, complete and closed, just like a complete circuit diagram, without any breaks or gaps.

Just like a complete circuit diagram, there are no breaks or gaps in the lines where the current flows.

But now, although the spell model still retains the basic unit's appearance, several breakpoints and gaps have suddenly appeared on the paths that guide the spiritual energy.

However, this gap did not cause Luo Ang's mental energy to be lost, nor did it, like a real circuit diagram, damage the integrity of the spell unit or render it ineffective.

It simply gave Loon the feeling that "the spell unit is not complete" when he was observing the spell model.

It's like suddenly having a parallel line appear on a circuit diagram, making you feel like you could add an extra parallel or series circuit to the diagram.

It's like playing a jigsaw puzzle. In the puzzle, what appears in another direction is not a straight line, but a smooth, uneven curve waiting for other pieces to connect.

Anyone who has played with jigsaw puzzles doesn't need to look at the whole puzzle; just by looking at the uneven curves, they know that the puzzle is incomplete and missing another part. Furthermore, more complex patterns can be added to the puzzle, making it even more elaborate.

At this moment, looking at the spell model of the Thunderclap spell, which had accumulated enough mystery and was ready to be unleashed, Luo Ang had this feeling.

"No, it's not incomplete." Luo Ang directly dispelled the spell model, letting the mysterious and unhappy energy that had been gathered dissipate.

"The Thunderclap spell that I currently possess is more of a spell unit than a spell model."

"A spell unit is the smallest unit of spell structure; in essence, it is a complete minimal structure."

"Therefore, the gaps appearing in the spell unit are not traces of an incomplete spell model, nor are they true 'gaps' in the real sense."

"It's just a feeling, a trace."

"It's a point of connection within a spell unit that can couple with another spell unit!"

Once he realized this, Luo Ang became even more concerned about the universal unit within that incomplete architecture.

"I've already salvaged quite a few of the fragments that make up the universal unit of the Thunder Spell."

"Among the fragments I salvaged, there are many overlaps and complementarities with the spell framework I copied."

"If these pieces of information complement each other, then the possibility of me obtaining a complete universal spell unit from this Roaring Swamp is extremely high!" As he pondered, Loon's desire grew stronger.

Upon realizing that there was a universal unit among all spell units, Loen knew that the universal unit was the most valuable among all spell units!

Even if the level of that general unit is only at the level of a spell-like spell, its value must still exceed that of a spell unit at the level of a zero-level spell.

The reason is simple: when spell units are combined to form a real spell model, a specific spell unit is only effective for a certain type of spell or a few types of spells.

The universal spell unit, however, applies to an entire series of spells!

In terms of adaptability, the latter is ten or even a hundred times better than the former, and naturally, its value is also ten or even a hundred times greater!

In Luo Ang's view, the most valuable part of the inheritance from the White Eagle that flows in his bloodline is not the three lightning spells, but the universal unit of spells that is revealed by the overlapping of the three lightning spells.

"Thunderclap is the spell I am most proficient in among all the spells I have mastered."

"Although it is neither a fixed innate spell nor a temporary spell linked to the soul, the time I spend practicing Thunderclap Spell and the number of times I practice Thunderclap Spell every day are no less than those of temporary spells."

"My understanding of the Thunderclap spell is also among the best of all the spells I have mastered."

"Even when I was aware of the existence of the universal spell unit, the structure of this Thunderclap spell didn't show any connection points linking other spell units."

"But it was precisely in this valley that, when I cast the Thunderclap spell, a connection point appeared within this spell unit that was intertwined with another spell unit."

This is enough to prove—

"No, we need to do a comparative experiment." After a moment, Luo Ang suddenly got up and left the valley, stepping into the swamp outside.

Then, he once again built a spell model for the Thunderclap spell, or more accurately, a spell unit.

When this spell unit was constructed, it did not show any connection points with other spell units.

"No problem!"

"It's a problem with the valley environment!"

"There is a force in that environment influencing the spell unit of the Thunderclap spell."

"It's also possible that it's affecting the spell unit of all thunder spells, but since I only know how to cast Thunderclap at the moment, I can't verify that."

"In short, due to the influence of the valley environment, the spell units on the Thunderclap spell developed junctions that connected with other spell units."

"Therefore, there must exist another spell unit in this valley environment that can be intertwined with the spell unit of Thunderclap through this junction point."

"And this spell unit is very likely the universal spell unit for thunder spells." After returning to the valley, Loon's thoughts became more stable, and his determination grew stronger.

"Even though the nodes within this incomplete spell structure have changed, they only fluctuate between thirty-one and thirty-two."

"I'll just assume that the structures that I and Wizard Greer copied were both flawed."

"In this architecture, the maximum number of nodes is no more than fifty!"

As for why it's five thousand—that's actually quite easy to figure out.

A spell unit is the smallest complete structural unit in a spell model—the number of nodes within it is capped.

Although Loon is not yet clear on what the upper limit is, judging from the nodes of the level zero spells he has mastered, when the number of nodes in a spell unit exceeds twenty, the difficulty of the spell will increase exponentially.

Based on Loon's own experience: spell-like abilities can be learned almost instantly.

With a little thought, one can grasp the key points of a spell with a dozen or so nodes.

Starting from the 20th node, the difficulty of learning a spell increases, and the essence contained within the spell unit becomes increasingly elusive.

Just like the messenger summoning technique with twenty-eight nodes, even now, Luo Ang still hasn't grasped the intricacies of it.

If we go further up, to thirty or forty spell units, the difficulty is already beyond imagination. Even if it is still just one spell unit, its power should have exceeded the limit of a level zero spell.

Therefore, in an incomplete spell structure, the number of spell nodes within it, no matter how you look at the upper limit, cannot exceed fifty nodes—once this number is exceeded, the incomplete structure will inevitably be unable to guarantee its integrity and will break into many smaller incomplete structures.

And a maximum of fifty nodes.

Even if the number of nodes that Luo Ang imprints each time is different, it is still only fifty imprints!

Even if we add the time it takes for Luo Ang to forget the incomplete structure, it will only take a month!

A mere month!

Of course, if there were more than fifty nodes in this incomplete spell structure, Loon would be even more delighted!

After all, the more nodes there are, the more information is contained in this incomplete architecture, and the more spell units can be extracted from it.

The greater the value of this incomplete magical framework, the more valuable it becomes.

With these thoughts in mind, Loong's attention returned to the valley.
