The Truth of Magic

64 the origin

Most of these mages had prepared a few fixed spells so that they could shoot at the fixed targets in the underground square.

the rays of ice and magic bullets that they cast were basically all spells that zhao xu was familiar with.

this made him a little confused. he could barely recognize it without using the spell recognition skill.

“Teacher, I feel that something is wrong.” Zhao Xu couldn’t help but ask.

“what?”

“for example, i heard a spell that i know. Then I would also know what spell the other party was going to use. To put it bluntly, if the other party were to loudly chant an incantation in front of me, such as the appraisal technique, which requires an hour to cast, there’s no way I wouldn’t recognize it. ”

He had learned magic before, so he had more or less been trained in the ability of ” spell identification. however, didn’t this mean that he could identify spells without even throwing a shot?

“naive.” Antonya said mockingly, ” don’t use your 16 points of intelligence to challenge the countless people who have tried to test you over the past thousands of years.

“That’s called knowing, not identifying. only after you’ve condensed your spell identification to level 1 will you know that spell identification is an instinctive, passive action.”

turning from active to passive?

When Zhao Xu heard this, he suddenly felt something stir in his heart.

“it’s easy for one mage to cast a spell, but what about seven or eight mages casting at the same time? I can control it with my intelligence, but can you handle it with your current intelligence?”

they asked you to come here to train in spell identification because you’ve basically mastered all the spells they cast. You’re equivalent to the ability of spell identification. The progress bar for Level 1 is already at 90%.

“let’s see when you can break through the last 10%. Otherwise, you can’t compare to someone else’s real Level 1 spell identification ability with your 90% progress at level 0.”

When he heard this, Zhao Xu felt as if the string in his heart had snapped.

All of a sudden, everyone on the field was abstract into a coordinate system in his eyes, and the spells were the curves of each coordinate system.

zhao xu’s entire body fell into a daze.

“what?” Antonya could feel that there was something off about Zhao Xu.

she gently waved her hand and set up the ‘rainbow magic ball’, which isolated all interference from the outside world.

compared to the rainbow ball that reyan had cast earlier, antonya’s spell left no trace at all. it was as if she had become invisible.

No one present noticed that there was a completely invisible Rainbow Ball spell in the corner of the square that enveloped the two of them.

Even the security personnel who were in charge of keeping an eye on the novice mages did not notice the commotion here.

it was a good thing that antonya and zhao xu had picked the right spot on the stage from the start. otherwise, if the new wizard had accidentally touched the rainbow ball’s barrier, he would have definitely been killed by the seven different powers of the barrier.

zhao xu, who was in the middle of the fight, felt as if the three main areas of a cleric were slowly lighting up in his mind.

The power of the magical domain slowly emerged and poured into his body. Even the power of the other two domains seeped out and poured into his body.

looking at the scene in front of her, antonya immediately activated her mystical and religious knowledge skills and started to make an association check.

her knowledge level, which was far beyond that of ordinary people and had been enhanced by magic equipment, was directly connected to the deepest part of the “source of knowledge.”

no matter how difficult the test was, with antonya’s huge amount of luck points and insight, it was like a drop of rain under the hot sun. it would be dispelled as soon as it was exposed.

In the end, Zhao Xu slowly came back to his senses.

on his information panel, as long as he heard or saw a spell cast, it would automatically turn into an identification check.

[casting a spell on a wizard 10 meters in front of you. check result: 7 + d20 = 7 + 10 = 17. if it exceeds dc16, identify spell slot “magic missile “.]

[casting a spell on a Wizard 7 meters in front and left, check result 7 + d20 = 7 + 2 = 9. Check failed if the difficulty is lower than the exemption difficulty.]

Zhao Xu didn’t have the time to look at the rest of them.

This was because he noticed that in his character card, in the skill list, the level of Spellcraft was Level 4, which was the upper limit of the skill level of a level 1 character.

he looked at antonya with a blank expression. “teacher, my spell identification has reached level 4.”

Even though Antonya already knew most of what had happened, she was still a little touched when she heard Zhao Xu’s confirmation.

She nodded. then did you see the check on your information panel? ”

“Yes, my skill bonus for Spellcraft is 7, of which 4 points come from Level 4 skills and 3 points come from intelligence. Why is it like this?” zhao xu asked in disbelief.

why did his spell identification level directly rise to level 4?

normally, shouldn’t he be at level 1 and slowly train up?

Why did his information panel automatically recognize other people’s spells?

knowledge and spell identification are the few abilities that are connected to the origin. Antonya said in a soft voice, “after you have reached the level of being able to identify spells, your Character Card system will be connected to the source of magic in this world.

“You can see other people’s spells based on your experience, that’s what you know. however, your understanding of each spell is different, so it’s very abstract.”

“However, after you obtain the ‘spell identification’ level, you can rely on the power of the origin to automatically identify the spells around you. Even if you haven’t learned or heard of the spell.”

when he heard antonya’s words, zhao xu finally understood. the spell recognition that she had been talking about so mysteriously turned out to be an ability like this.

It was just that most of the time, he had to make do with the system and didn’t know the details like Antonya did.

“then what are the criteria for identification failure?” Zhao Xu asked.

“the spell level plus 15 points is the difficulty of identification. if the test result exceeds the difficulty, it can be identified.”

Zhao Xu turned his gaze to the mages who were casting their spells in the arena.

he had a 7 point bonus to his spellcraft, while the difficulty of these mages casting level 1 spells was dc 16.

as long as his identification check’s d20 was greater than 16, he would automatically see through the true nature of those level 1 spells.

to him, the origin of magic had a 55% chance of automatically recognizing level 1 spells.

the higher his skill level and intelligence, the higher the probability of him automatically recognizing these spells.

it was no wonder that professionals had an overwhelming advantage over commoners, from attribute points to the character card system, and then to the existence of the source.

thinking about this, zhao xu looked at antonya and said, ” mentor, so my knowledge skills and the fact that i can get additional background knowledge after a successful check are also because of this connection? ”

“That’s for sure. The result of the test is the feedback from the ‘knowledge source’. Every test you make is a connection attempt. I only found out about your situation through the knowledge check.”

It was only then that Zhao Xu realized that he still had a question he hadn’t asked Antonya. How did his identification skill level up to Level 4?

But Antonya grabbed him by the collar and brought him into the field in a flash.

The two of them appeared next to the administrator. At the same time, there were a few new Wizards training in spell recognition around them.

“You, cast ‘magic bullet’ at him.” antonya instructed a new female wizard.

“To me?” Zhao Xu looked at Antonya and the female wizard that she had ordered around in surprise and didn’t know how to react.
