"So, if mana and power are different things, and mana is the energy that supports the operation of magic, then what is power?"
Lin's question, and judging from the looks in Halumi's and Kaya's eyes, was also a question for the two girls. Fen didn't intend to sell it off, and said directly: "The so-called power, in my era, is the qualification to use words to command everything in the world. Only when the qualifications are not enough, you need to pay other prices in exchange."
This is so concise and clear that it cannot be said more concisely.
Just like an official, as long as the official position is high enough and the power is strong enough, if you want to do something, with an order or even a look, someone will naturally handle it well without having to pay the price. If the official is not high enough and the power is not powerful enough, of course he has to pay people to do things. How much or how little money you spend is of course related to whether things are done properly or not.
Since when does playing magic mean the same thing as being an official?
But if you think about it seriously, this is really the case. Because of the magic that has been passed down for a long time, although the pronunciation of the spell is difficult to pronounce, the content translated into vernacular is nothing more than:
I am very awesome, so using my name as an order, so-and-so will immediately come under my command and follow my instructions. What I want you to do includes bang bang bang, and the method is bang bang bang. After listening to my instructions, give me instructions immediately, or execute them when or after certain conditions are met. If I want you to go east, if you dare to go west, I will make you look good, and so on.
Of course, in today's era, that me is no longer me, so most of the content has been changed to:
Because someone is awesome, I give orders in his name, and blah blah blah. The last sentence became: If I want you to go east, if you dare to go west, I will let him give you a good look, and so on.
Simply put, after the content of the spell is translated, it is nothing more than words such as command, coercion, inducement, etc. It is very strange that these words can form a certain pattern, a certain rule, so that future generations can accomplish the same thing as long as they follow the rules.
If you do this, there is no way to succeed. Most of the seniors on the magic path will tell you that this is a lack of accumulation of your magic power, so please work harder.
Perhaps in this era, they were referring to the ancient times before the Dark Ages created by Yongfen, although the amount of payment was insufficient. This sentence is also applicable, but it refers to a different direction.
If you think about it carefully, there are so many different flavors to using magic. ,
However, although what Fen said is understandable, there are still many things that are unclear. Ignore the two apprentices for now. Their level is too low to think carefully about the factors behind it from the existing clues. Of course Lin asked about the things he didn't understand one by one:
"Then what kind of energy is accumulated through our daily meditation? It doesn't seem right. Mana is okay, but what should power be?"
"What you have accumulated through that god's meditation ritual, based on my observations during this period, should be a medium that has both power characteristics and mana characteristics, or a mixture of two different but similar powers. In the body. When used, it is still converted into mana for output, but it still has the power to accumulate in your body bit by bit."
From a certain perspective, Fen's statement also explains why after irritating the god, they were unable to use the nbn under their control to directly set a fire in the magician's body. Just like the gods deal with the traitors in the church, they directly burn the divine power borrowed and accumulated by the traitors from past prayers. They can only prevent the Masters from further accumulation.
Seeing that Lin was still thinking carefully, Fen added some opinions of his own and said: "From my perspective, using meditation rituals to gain more power now is faster and more convenient than in the past. Many. But shortcuts always come with a price, and what is obtained through those gods will also be controlled by the gods. But the magicians of this era don't seem to care about such things."
"In other words, everyone just has too low a vision and doesn't realize that they need to care about such things." Lin sighed with a bitter smile. But there is no need to think too much, Lin still has more questions that he wants answered. "Then how do you use the power and mana you mentioned? It must be somewhat different from the current method of casting spells."
"There is a difference, but it's not big. There is no question of whether to use power or not. You have said it. As long as you are qualified, things will come true. And mana, that is, the energy stored in the magic stone, was in the past. In its era, it was used on fixed magic circles, or on some runes and scrolls. For some magic traps and long prayers, it is quite annoying to repeat them every time, so I will use External objects can easily achieve the desired purpose. This is also what I think about the purple star."
