Pioneer Wizard's Notebook

Chapter 77 The Sun Spear

More than three hundred years have passed since the celestial bodies met.

During this period, the influx of magical energy transformed the environment, giving birth to powerful monsters and professionals.

Intelligent races from other dimensions have perfected their heritage and guided professionals to advance their skills.

This includes the lineage of the monks.

Based on the intensity of the magic released, spells are classified into ten energy levels by mages.

Level 0 spells, also known as magic tricks, are the adaptation stage for apprentices before they become professionals.

1-3级法术由正式法师掌握，4-6级为超凡法术，7-8级为高阶法术，9级为极限法术。

Going further up, one has already broken through the limits of the current world and belongs to the legendary realm that is integrated into the rules.

After learning about the mage's general situation, Linde continued to study the records of the White Frost spell in the crystal.

The crystal recorded two frost spells: Frost Missile and Ice Breath.

All of them are elemental spells of the Evocation school. Among them, White Frost Missile is a level 4 spell, which is superior to level 3 Ice Missile.

Ice Mist Breath is a level 5 spell, with greater power and a wider area of ​​effect.

However, the release condition requires possessing dragon blood.

Otherwise, the frost magic condensed in the throat pouch would freeze the caster first.

Lind didn't care much about the two spells themselves.

What he truly valued was the energy manipulation technique during the spellcasting process.

By drawing inferences from this example, he could develop unique spells based on the various runes at hand.

There are actually similar techniques for turning fossils into mud.

Unfortunately, the pioneering witchcraft belongs to another system, which is too different from the magic of this world. The techniques are not compatible and will require time to adjust.

Linde took out a blank sheet of paper and began to record the techniques of manipulating magic in the White Frost spell.

The content wasn't obscure; he already knew many of the things, and was just waiting for that final spark of inspiration.

His knowledge of magic filled in the last piece of the puzzle.

The next morning.

Linde left the laboratory and went to an open space in a nearby quarry.

He raised his hand, and fist-sized, transparent ice missiles condensed behind him.

Level 3 spell: Ice Block Missile.

Don't be fooled by their ordinary appearance; each piece, once fired, possesses the power of a longbow arrow, enough to pierce a soldier's leather armor.

Upon advancing to the transcendent level 4, the Ice Missile has two branches.

The first is like the White Frost Missile, which condenses cold air inside and rapidly cools down upon hitting the enemy, freezing them.

Secondly, it increases penetrating damage, changing from a missile to an ice spear, significantly increasing its lethality.

The Ancestral Crystal only contains the first Frost Missile technique, but that doesn't prevent Lind from using the second one.

He clenched his fist, and the ice missiles behind him gathered together.

Under the influence of the Evocation Technique and the Frost Rune, it transformed into a three-meter-long ice crystal spear.

Next, it needs to be thrown.

The magic release of White Frost Missiles is not suitable for heavy ice spears.

Linde directly incorporated the Power Projection Rune into the spell.

With the runes he mastered, he could modify spells at will according to his needs.

The next second, the ice spear pierced the mountain surface, and a series of rocks tumbled down.

Linde looked at the results, not very satisfied.

The power of frost was still a bit too weak, so he decided to switch to fire.

The solar energy rune condensed in his palm.

This time, however, it's not about directly summoning flames, but rather guiding runes to unleash power within the framework of evocation magic.

A fireball the size of a washbasin emerged from his palm.

Then, with a bang, it split into more than a dozen fist-sized fireballs, which floated around Linde.

"The power of a level 3 spell is far from enough. Let's increase the heat and try switching to Solar Fire."

Linde tried to increase the temperature.

The surrounding flames deepened in color, turning into the crimson of the sun's fire.

But what follows is a high degree of instability, as if it could explode at any moment.

"No, there are too many; we can't condense them all at once."

Linde stopped channeling magic and began extinguishing the surrounding fireballs of the sun, leaving only the last one.

He released his magic again, focusing all his attention on the fireball above.

The sun's fire burns fiercely.

Under continuous pressure and shaping, the fireball was gradually stretched into a spear.

The intense concentration of magic surged within, emanating a chilling sense of dread.

Having confirmed that it had been compressed to its limit, Linde no longer hesitated and threw it forward.

boom!

In an instant, the solar spear spanned three hundred meters, struck the mountain surface, and exploded into a dazzling burst of flames.

Like a falling meteor, after a violent roar, everything around fell silent.

The intense heat distorted vision, the flames dissipated, and the released torrents of heat melted the rocks, flowing layer upon layer of scorching lava beneath the mountain.

More than an hour later, the magma mass solidified, and a layer of crystalline material formed on its surface.

Linde relaxed his tense nerves, feeling satisfied with the horrific destruction he had caused.

The combination of the Sunfire and Power Projection ultimately did not disappoint him.

This spell, called the Sun Spear, has probably reached level 6.

A direct hit could instantly kill the mighty King of the White Bears.

Of course, there are many problems at this stage.

The first thing is the consumption of magic power.

A single shot of the Sun Spear drained most of Lind's magic power.

This is during the day when the sun is out; once it gets dark at night, the spell goes out immediately.

Secondly, the casting time is too long.

In order to condense and compress the fire of the sun, he needed to spend a full three minutes focusing on magical energy shaping.

In the heat of battle, this would be unacceptable.

Linde doesn't intend to be a glass cannon.

Like the Dragonborn Axe Warrior, unparalleled in close combat and capable of casting spells to assist others, that is the fighting style he idealizes.

This is not a difficult problem.

The most troublesome energy manipulation technique has been resolved. Now, all that's needed is to practice more and improve the casting proficiency of the Sun Spear.

Linde was confident he could reduce the three-minute casting time to ten seconds.

Complete the study of the Evocation spell.

Linde returned to the laboratory.

I can't learn Ice Mist Breath, and I lack the rune foundation for the Charm-type Mind Control.

The simple introduction in the crystal is not enough; you must find a specific lineage of magic.

He looked at the two divine spells.

"The Call of the Ancestors" is essentially a way to communicate with the spirit world through crystals to bring the dragonborn warriors to their deaths, but it's not very useful to him.

"White Dragon's Protection" can strengthen the body and grant the user the power of a dragon for a short period of time.

After learning about it, Linde discovered that it was similar to the Frost Enhancement Rune, only more refined.

There are prerequisites for unleashing divine magic: one must possess the corresponding bloodline.

Linde looked at himself.

Forget about the dragon bloodline; Lucas's body had already been drained by the axe warrior and was of no value as material.

He does possess some wolf blood; through his spiritual contract with the Frostfang Wolf, he gained the enhancement of a wolf's physique. He'll study it...

I'll make do with this for now.

It's not too late to transform into a dragon after signing a contract with the dragon.
