Chapter 290 Arcane Matrix



Chapter 290 Arcane Matrix
It's getting late.

A crescent moon emerges from the dark clouds and hangs in the night sky. Against the background of the cruising light belt, it looks extremely beautiful and dazzling. The twinkling stars in the night sky embellish this beautiful picture like diamonds.

In the middle of the night, there was silence all around, but for Brian, this night was not peaceful either.

There is only a faint light white magic light by the table in the room, and the stars and moonlight outside the window pass through the floor-to-ceiling windows and open curtains, filling the dark room with silver frost.

In the silver-white light, Brian was sitting behind the desk at this moment, concentrating on the spell knowledge in his hands.

Finally, his frown slowly relaxed, showing a relieved expression.

Then, he couldn't wait to call up the system bar and check the new spell he had just researched.

Lesser Arcane Matrix
(conjuration, transformation)

Rating: 3
Components: Speech, Gesture, Material

Duration: Special

Saving Throws: None

Effect: The caster can store a spell in the arcane matrix, and then release it instantly when needed.

Explanation: During the preparation of the arcane matrix, the caster can store 3 spells with a third ring or below.When the matrix is ​​closed, if the caster has not yet stored spells, the spells can only be stored in the matrix after they are enhanced by the metamagic feat "Instant Spell". Any spells stored in the matrix are considered ready spells.

note:

1. Once the caster releases the stored spell from the matrix, the spell will completely disappear from the matrix.

2. When a counterspell counters the matrix, it will also cancel all the spells in the matrix.

3. If the caster is affected by the anti-magic field, the matrix will fail, but the spell will not be triggered. When the caster leaves the anti-magic field, the matrix will resume operation.

Material for Spell: A small piece of amber worth at least 500 gp.

…………

Looking at the detailed introduction of the spell, Brian couldn't help but smile.

From the introduction of the "Secondary Arcane Matrix", it can be seen that the main function of this spell is to store spells, and when facing the enemy or in other emergency situations, one or all of them can be released instantly.

There is no doubt that this spell belongs to the caster profession, and the effect is extremely significant.

This is the new result that Brian spent nearly a month researching on the demiplane where time flows slowly.

Moreover, through nearly a month of research, he has even speculated on the research directions of the Arcane Matrix, the Advanced Arcane Matrix, and the Legendary Arcane Matrix.

As long as there is enough time, he believes that one day, he will master all the remaining three levels of matrix.

In fact, he was able to research such practical spells mainly thanks to Simbu, another elector of the goddess of magic.

The reason why this wizard queen from Aglaron made the entire Red Robe Wizards of Searle fearful was not only because of her status as a voter of the goddess of magic, but also because of her strength.

Such as Simbu's spell sequence, Simbu's spell master, Simbu's spell instant, Simbu's spell super magic, etc., are all her most representative signature spells.

Although Brian is also a legendary professional, with his current strength, he can barely resist the opponent's set of spell sequences.

So, after finishing his plan for the floating city of Sacross, Brian started to think about this witch's magic knowledge, trying to learn a little bit about sequence spells from her.

Who would have thought that what surprised him was that Simbu's series of magic sequence packages were not independently researched by relying on her pure magic knowledge.

Just like Brian's Austrian Fire, Simbu's signature spells are all based on Silver Fire, which can only be activated successfully.

In this case, Brian's book of the Forsaken, known as the 'Book of Whores', has played its due value.

He took advantage of the prostitution characteristics of the Forsaken Book, through each set of spell sequences cast by Simbu, and included them all in the spell book.

Although he couldn't learn these spells directly because he didn't have silver fire, Brian was a legendary spellcaster and a great arcanist among spellcasters.

The Grand Arcanist's legendary professional feature "Legendary Master of Spells" allows him to directly reduce the time, resources and experience points consumed by 50% when researching new arcane spells. Simple.

After Brian carefully studied the sequential spell knowledge about Simbu included in the Book of the Forsaken, he suddenly discovered that these spell knowledge had many similarities with the advanced algebra in his previous life.

For example, "Arcane Geometry" in Magical Knowledge.

This is a kind of wizards who observe the spatial structure of the multiverse, and then describe a multi-dimensional three-dimensional figure similar to magic runes, which is called: arcane geometry.

Its main function is to perfectly integrate arcane geometry into it when setting runes, reliefs, seals or symbols to increase its power.

It is said that the main reason why the advanced ultra-long-distance teleportation circle can be so accurate is to use the spatial coordinates in arcane geometry, which are similar to the latitude and longitude of the real world.

"Arcane Geometry" is also one of the directions that Brian plans to study in the future.

Because in his opinion, most of the spell structures here can be based on the geometric models he has learned in the real world, and then integrate his own understanding of the magic construction process. In this way, it will be very easy to learn. Simple.

The reason why he was inspired by this was the sudden inspiration after reading the knowledge about Simbu's spell sequence in the book of the forgotten.

Simbu's sequence spell is actually very similar to the matrix in mathematics knowledge.

In the real world, matrices are a common tool in advanced algebra, as well as in applied mathematics such as statistical analysis.

In physics, matrices are used in circuits, mechanics, optics, and quantum physics. In computer science, matrices are also used in [-]D animation.

Matrix operations are still an important issue in the field of numerical analysis.

Decomposing a matrix into a combination of simple matrices can simplify matrix operations both theoretically and practically.

According to the knowledge in Simbu's spell sequence, Brian arranged all the spell circuits and spell nodes into a matrix that is easy to calculate, and then combined the complete spells together. After many attempts and improvements, this The spell he called "Secondary Arcane Matrix" was successfully born.

This simple attempt allowed him to directly take a big step in the field of arcane arts.

This made Brian realize that as long as he mastered the matrix knowledge, he could apply it to many magical fields through the matrix diagram method.

For example, use the matrix diagram method to match the materials of magic equipment with the magic runes that need to be engraved, and you can quickly find out the entry point for developing new magic equipment or improving the efficacy of equipment.

Although Brian has mastered the key points of analyzing spells, it is not as easy as imagined to quickly research higher-level spells in the "Secondary Arcane Matrix".

After all, no matter what kind of spell, the higher the ring number, the harder it is to understand.

Especially the spell model in the legendary spell, the number of spell circuits and spell nodes inside can even reach the level of superconductor dense circuits.

If the spell model is compared to a circuit board, then ordinary spells are computer-level difficulty, while legendary spells are computer-level difficulty.

This requires quite amazing memory and analytical skills.

To master this kind of spell, a wizard's brain must be as sophisticated as a supercomputer, possessing a terrifying ability to memorize and sort out thousands of circuits.

This is simply something that ordinary people can't imagine.

Although legendary spellcasters can do this, most of them need assistance similar to tower spirits, or other auxiliary items to help them improve their brain's computing power and memory ability.

Use a simple metaphor.

A top student who can't easily understand 'calculus' is basically unlikely to become an arcanist.

The reason why Bryan was able to become an arcanist was because of the assistance of the system on the one hand, and on the other hand, with the continuous improvement of his intelligence attributes, his brain, mental power, memory and computing power were also continuously strengthened.

Otherwise, based on the level of a scumbag in his previous life, how could he grow from having a headache when he saw matrix operations to the ability to instantly calculate and understand a series of simple matrices.

Even the knowledge of the Olympiad that confused him in his previous life, as long as he thinks carefully, he will instantly get the answer he wants in his mind.

Bryan was able to develop the "Secondary Arcane Matrix" mainly because he used the matrix diagram method to decompose complex things into many combinations of simple matrices, and then used theories and practical applications one by one, To simplify the operation of the matrix, and finally get the arcane matrix you want.

This allowed him to even speculate that if he were to study a legend-level arcane matrix, he would at least need to calculate an infinite-dimensional matrix with an infinite number of elements.

The magical comprehension and calculation ability required for this, I am afraid that even if he has the system assistance and the "Legendary Spell Master" specialty, it will be difficult to study thoroughly.

From here we can see the gap between mortals and gods.

The gods are often like a supercomputer.

Because they need the spiritual links of tens of thousands of believers. Although this is aided by the "faith network" inside the magic net, the foundation borne by the gods themselves is still very large.

And this also needs to take into account the promotion of believers, the granting of divine spells, the feedback of faith, etc. Every devout prayer of the priest seems to be a connection with the network of gods. Only through the sublimation of spirit and faith can the priest be able to accept the gods The more power bestowed, so as to master more advanced divine arts.

Therefore, if the spell-casting group based on intelligence attributes wants to go further and higher, they need to train their brains to function similar to biological computers, allowing them to calculate a large number of spell model structures in an instant.

It can be seen from this that what mortal wizards pursue is only the starting point for the gods, even the gods with weak (half-god) divine power.

The gap between the two is obvious.

Brian had a vague feeling that besides becoming a Grand Arcanist and gaining the ability to curse fire, the biggest gain this time in the Valley should be mastering the Arcane Matrix.

If he were to research the legendary arcane matrix, he could store legendary spells in the matrix in advance at will, and release them instantly when encountering an enemy. Just imagining it would be very scary.

After all, in the battle against the floating city of Sakros, whether it was the legendary spell "Collapse Singularity" he released on the second prince Yada, or the "Eternal Blazing Sun" that finally took the head of the demon lord, it was almost the final word. role.

What makes him regret the most is that in the battle with the great prince Rui Valan, Simbu released the legendary spell at the end. His Book of the Forgotten failed in the knowledge (mystery) test during the analysis process. up.

Although he had expected this kind of result long ago, but it really happened before his eyes, and he couldn't help but feel a little regretful, as if a [-] million gold coin passed him by.

However, it also made him realize his own shortcomings.

In the future, he must make good use of the time slowing ability of the demiplane of the beholder to supplement his knowledge and background.

Then, Brian took out a bottle of potion given to him by the harper leader Storm before leaving at the end of the dinner.

Since the amount of energy a cursefire manipulator stores depends on its own physique, with Brian's 16-point physique, he can only store up to 5 energy levels, which is 150 energy points.

This is not the most important thing, what makes him even more depressed is that with a constitution of 15 points, the level of the curse fire can only be raised to level 10.

In this case, he naturally needs to find a way to improve his attributes.

The fastest way to improve the physical attributes is to become the chosen one of the Goddess of Magic. The physical attributes can be directly increased by 10 points, which he naturally would not consider.

Even if he was willing, as a powerful goddess of magic, I'm afraid he might not be able to talk to him.

In Brian's current situation, the most effective way to improve attributes is the nine-ring spell "Wish".

"Prayer" can allow him to increase one of his attributes by 5 points at most.

Theoretically speaking, learning the "Prayer Technique" can increase all his attributes by 5 points.

But the problem is that Brian didn't learn.

Among the group of spellcasters, the nine-ring spell "Wish" is the most powerful spell, and it is also the most difficult spell to master. Even legendary spells stand aside in front of it.

This spell is very evil. For a spell caster, no one can learn to master the "wish spell". Whether you can learn it or not depends entirely on your nature.

There are only two types of nature: "able to learn" and "unable to learn". Just like the Olympiad, if you can't solve it, you can't solve it. It's useless if you smash your head.

It does not belong to the Eight Great Schools, nor does it belong to the three major domains of the Arcanist. Its only function is to change reality and fulfill your wish as long as you say your wish out loud.

It is said that even the dead can be brought back to life.

In Brian's memory, the only person he knew who had mastered the "Wishing Technique" was Iolum, known as the 'Father of Nether'.

Therefore, one of the main reasons why he was looking for Iolum was to obtain information about the "Prayer Technique".

He wanted to try his luck to see if he could have a chance to master this spell.

If he can master it, then at least adding 5 points to all attributes, for him, he can get it safely.

After all, the "wish technique" might be too expensive for others, but for him, it was just a matter of expending experience points.

However, he didn't dare to expect too much, so he planned to use the channel of Harper Leader Storm to ask her to help him inquire about some magic potions that can permanently increase the physical attributes.

Who would have thought that what made him unbelievable was that as soon as he finished speaking, the leader of the harp handed a bottle of potion into his hand as if he had already prepared it in advance.

The potion contained in this two-inch bottle looks ordinary on the surface, as if filled with a little clear water, but if you look closely, you can find a hint of emerald green that represents the breath of life.

In fact, this is a bottle of eaux-de-vie, containing very strong life energy.

It is not only the best healing wonder in the material world, but it can also completely change a person's physique.

With a thought in Brian's mind, a row of data appeared in his retina:

water of life
Type: Nature Giveaway

Quality: Special Oddity

effect:

1. Restore life: After taking the water of life, no matter how serious the trauma is, as long as there is still a breath, it can be healed instantly.

2. Strengthen constitution: After taking the water of life, you can permanently increase constitution by 2 points, and this effect can only be triggered once.

3. Eternal youth: the water of life can delay the aging of any living species, and any creature that drinks the water of life will greatly slow down the aging speed.

4. Extend lifespan: The water of life can delay the lifespan of any living species. Any creature that drinks the water of life will greatly increase its lifespan. This effect is triggered once.

Explanation: The water of life contains the vigorous power of life. It is the essence bred by nature and the treasure of the material plane. Many adventurers have never seen it in their entire lives. It is also called: the fountain of youth.

…………

About 1 years ago, the high elves of Arivanda discovered a Hall of Mists in the High Forest of the Northland, where they planted a seed of the Tree of Life.

After thousands of years, this seed grew into an oak tree that symbolized nature, and was called by the Druids: the tree of the ancestors.

Brian recalled the origin of the water of life.

Deep in the ground of the ancestral tree, there is a special pool left over from the era of the creator race, in which the essence of life will be bred. Outsiders are used to calling it: the water of life.

The ancestral tree of the highest forest in the Northland is also one of the goals that Brian must go to in the future.

His purpose of going to the Tree of Ancestors, besides obtaining the Water of Life, was to find one more important thing, which was to find the Nether Scroll.

During the time of Netheril, an unknown thief stole seven Netherese Scrolls.

Three of them are stored in the Hall of Mists, the Pool of Life located deep beneath the Primordial Tree in the High Forest.

Two more were placed in the tomb of the Warlock Hessak in the Ernook Desert.

The whereabouts of the last two Nether scrolls are unknown.

Brian swallowed the water of life in the vial, and a strong vitality flooded into his limbs and veins in an instant.

"Use nature's gift of "water of life"! "

"Trigger the effect "Restore Life"! ...Your health and stamina are restored to full state! ...Trigger the effect "strengthen the physique"! ...Your constitution attribute is permanently increased by 2 points! ...Trigger the effect "Forever Youth"! ... The aging speed of your appearance will be greatly reduced! ...Trigger the effect "Extended lifespan"! ...Your lifespan has been greatly improved! ..."

…………

Feeling the effect of the water of life, Brian nodded in satisfaction.

The physique attribute was improved by 2 points, and he immediately began to increase the level of the curse fire.

"Consume 140000 experience points."

"The level of the curse fire has been raised to level 11!"

"Consume 160000 experience points."

"The level of the curse fire has been raised to level 12!"

"Consume 195000 experience points."

"The level of the curse fire has been raised to level 13!"

"warn!"

"Physical attribute is too low, can't continue to upgrade the level!"

…………

Seeing this situation, Brian immediately stopped his plan to continue to improve, and then began to check the new ability of the curse fire.

At 11th level: The spellfire manipulator gains the ability to transform spellfire into a magic item to charge it without harming the item.

Note: Due to the nature of some magic items, certain types of magic items cannot be charged. This can only be checked by trial and error, and the energy of the wrong trial will be dissipated directly.

At this level, a spellfire manipulator can have up to two spellfire vortexes at a time.

At 12th level: The spellfire manipulator gains the ability to connect the created spellfire vortex to itself, in which case the magical energy absorbed by the spellfire vortex can be converted into its own stored spell fire energy.

Note: This ability does not increase the maximum amount of energy a spellfire manipulator can store, and may have harmful effects on a spellfire caster.

At this level, the manipulator of the spellfire masters the ability to adjust the light through the spellfire. When the light of the spellfire is adjusted to a dazzling state, all creatures that see the spellfire will make a blindness check. If they fail, they will become blind State, creatures that use gaze to attack—such as petrified lizards, beholders, and Cato swamp monsters, when the light of the cursed fire is adjusted to a dazzling state, they will lose all their abilities related to their eyes.

Note: Any spells of darkness, deep darkness, etc., caused by spells or divine spells, cannot affect the light emitted by the cursefire.

At 13th level: A spellfire manipulator gains the ability to control the transfer of energy from a distant spellfire vortex, so that it can absorb or deposit energy from it into its own at will.

At this level, the spellfire manipulator can have three spellfire vortexes at the same time.

At this level, a spellfire manipulator gains the ability to infuse spellfire energy to enhance her own spells or those of those with whom she is in physical contact.

Note: Certain spells cannot be enhanced, and abilities do not affect the spell's saving throw.

…………

Seeing these powerful abilities, Brian could only secretly lament the power of the cursed fire.

Upgrading the cursefire to level 13 means that he can release three cursefire vortexes at the same time, and use his own magic to charge the cursefire to keep it burning continuously.

Moreover, the ability of the curse fire to adjust the light independently allows him to directly destroy creatures such as beholders who rely on their eyes to cast spells.

With everything in place, Brian began to organize the books and scrolls on the table.

During this trip to the valley, he had successfully completed everything, and he also received the promise from the goddess of magic, Mystra, to help him repair the magic net of the small world.

In this case, within two years, he will be able to return to the small world.

As for how to save, he already had a rough idea in his mind.

It is obviously impossible to destroy the ancient evil, so the only thing left is to escape.

If you want to escape with the small world, you must have enough energy to shake this small celestial body.

The energy source is naturally the Mizusawa Fairy from the demiplane. Brian believes that as long as the Mizusawa Fairy grows up, it will not be difficult to escape with the small world.

But when Mizusawa Fairy grew up, the ancient evil might be able to destroy the small world at least twice.

In this case, he can only find a way to suppress it and buy time for himself.

As for how to suppress it, Brian already has a general idea in mind, as long as he finds the mysterious person who was knocked down from Sigil by the Lady of Pain to the world of Toril.

Perhaps, you can find out how to temporarily seal or suppress the ancient evil from him.

After packing up his belongings, Brian felt a little tired. He planned to stay here for one night and return to Mokou Town the next morning.

However, as soon as he walked to the bed, his expression suddenly became tense.

A figure quietly appeared in the room at some point, and he didn't even notice any movement, not even the slightest response from the security circle he had carefully arranged.

Brian broke out in a cold sweat. He was about to activate the spell to escape, but he immediately relaxed after seeing the figure clearly from the corner of his eye.

With the help of the moonlight filtering through the window, he recognized that the one sitting beside the bed was actually the leader of the Harper, Storm.

A rich lavender-like aroma filled the room, a mixture of deodorant and female hormones.

The long silver hair of the harpist leader hangs down in a mess, the star-like eyes are shining with a strange luster, and there is a blush on the noble and elegant face.

The ultra-thin transparent black silk pantyhose fit tightly on a pair of round and slender beautiful legs, giving people a silky and supple feeling just by looking at it.

The white tulle nightdress, paired with this high-end black silk pantyhose, seems to have a wonderful chemical reaction.

Under the moonlight, the white and tender skin is extraordinarily bright, and the transparent gauze skirt also creates a wonderful hazy feeling.

Seeing this, Brian, who was a little tired just now, immediately regained his energy, his eyes kept sweeping down, as if he was full of interest in the seductive attire of the storm.

... 2 words are omitted here...
