Arcane Linguist

Chapter 217 Playing cards and storytelling are more suitable
Roland was greatly inspired and continued to read.

It reviews and summarizes the history of the development of magic spells in Alterain, involving multiple eras, as well as the spells of various planes and worlds, and tries to summarize its laws from the perspective of phonetics and phonology, and further explores and Achievements related to spells.

For a long time, there has been a common topic in the arcane world.

It is, the so-called incantation, the so-called point of magic meaning...

Does it have anything to do with "soul"?

If you chant like this, you have no soul!

You're a parrot, not magic!

You speak to mana with emotion...

From the perspective of the alchemy school or the magic school, it is "whether you need to be emotionally involved in chanting a spell", or "playing audio", "artificially synthesized voice", whether it can imitate human spells.

From the point of view of the school of magic, it is spells and magic power (formed by mixing mana with spiritual power), which one is the essential element of spells.

"Why, language has magic power, and you can cast spells by chanting a spell?
According to the general saying, it is to communicate with the source of magic power and arouse the resonance of mana.

However, this merely illustrates the phenomenon.

It doesn't get to the essence.

Apprentices are taking exams in the Academy of Magic, and when they encounter fill-in-the-blank questions, they can answer them without thinking.

As arcanists, we can't help but ask.

why?
Why can mantras resonate in mana?
How exactly did it resonate?

What is its essence?
These are the most fundamental questions of spell learning. "

Lunephth said so in the book.

"Based on these issues, I tried to trace the history of the development of magic spells, combined with previous works of the elves such as "Song of the Elves", "Aria of the Dragon", "Song of the Fairy", and "Poetry of the Wind", Divide it, divide it...

In general, it can be considered that magic spells have five modes, aria, chant, recitative, cue, and chorus.

First, the aria, also known as the salute, is the original mode.

Almost all ancient magics start with chant and praise.

People regard mana as the mighty power of the gods, and they chant passionately in an almost prayerful way.

Second, the chant tune, which is formed after people discover the basic laws of magic spells, and further standardize and summarize them, has a certain literary quality.

Both have some common features, I'll list a few examples here:
Wind spirit flying high in the sky, please obey my orders... (Bala, blah, blah...)
(Note: What I’m talking about here is actually the early online novels, very, very long spells like long poems, some of which are hundreds of thousands of syllables long, and need to be sung for days and nights, usually used for forbidden spells.)
Third, the recitative, relatively speaking, is a pragmatic, concise incantation, a product of the magical age.

Listed as follows:

The howling wind gushes out from my fingers, listen to my orders, and turn everything into ashes in an instant.

Whirlwind Dance, listen to my orders.The air gathers in my hand, forming a powerful storm that engulfs everything around it.

Fourth, the hint tone is further simplified, the tone after the initial formation of the magic net.

such as:

Frozen Ball!
Frost Blade!

(Note: It is the kind of major film and television, animation, and the name of the move that needs to be called.)
Fifth, the re-singing tune is sung by many people, or multiple modes are used in combination.

……

To sum up, it can basically be considered that the essence of magic spells is to encourage one's own spiritual power to rely on, and is essentially a suggestion to move oneself and adjust one's own tonality.

It is not directly related to the source of magic power, but more like a regulator of the spiritual frequency of creatures with souls and spirituality.

In other words, the mantra is chanted to oneself! "

Roland didn't have a deep study of spells, but he could see that Lunifuss was a supporter of the source of magic power school.

She also believes that magic power (formed by mixing spiritual power with mana) is the essential element of spells.

This is actually the result of modern arcane arts, and it is the conclusion drawn from scientific analysis after the disenchantment of magic.

The conclusion itself is no different from the mainstream view.

It provides theoretical support for a series of magic improvements and super magic skills such as spell simplification, silent spell casting, and instant spell casting.

But the greater contribution of this book is that she analyzes it from the perspective of historical research, which provides a lot of reference value for the research on the history of magic of other schools of thought.

Taking history as a mirror, we can see many essential things.

This actually reveals the law of language expression and the evolution of various literary genres.

Poems and songs are, in essence, the "mantra" of literature, the power to mobilize people's emotions and will.

Songs are used to sing aspirations, and texts are used to express Taoism!
He immediately connected it with changes in literary genres.

It is easy to draw the conclusion that vernacular and prompt tone are more suitable, and it should be in this form:

~*~~~~……

And I saw the teacher chanting before, and the teacher wanted to memorize the spell for summoning the succubus:

"Μεγλοκριοτηκολσεω..."

and the spell for Greater Teleportation:
"~~~~~..."

It is a typical chant.

This may provide a theoretical basis for some things in Siris magic, and it can also guide the improvement direction of simplification, silent casting, and instant casting.

Even, create something new.

For example, the poems and articles of Confucianism and Taoism have strange powers, which can also be compared to the spells of chant tunes.

And the power word of Siris, "fixation", "vibration", "retreat", "cutting", are typical reminders...

"Is it possible that I can also copy poems to prove the Tao in the future? Poetry can kill the enemy, words can defeat the army, cultivate 'literary spirit', 'literary palace', and follow the words?"

Roland's expression at the moment was "old man, subway, mobile phone.jpg".

I'm obviously a linguist, God, you want me to be a literati?
I just want to copy linguistic theories, literary theories, various standards, schemes, not literary works.

After thinking about it, he sent this outline, together with some of his reflections after reading it, to his teacher Orvisto, the backbone of the school, Lei and others, and discussed with them.

"By the way, there are also Poytes and Armand!

Bards also have some experts in spells who might be interested in these things. "

Thinking of this, Roland made another copy of the email and sent it to his bard friend.

……

"History of the Development of Magic Spells" (Outline)?
Lena World, in a medieval city.

After a day's travel, Poytes and Armand gathered in a restaurant for a drink.

Accompanied by the aura of magic, Poytes cast the "screen casting technique" to receive the mail, and saw Roland's letter with a prominent reminder among the many letters at a glance.

He opened it with some curiosity, and when he looked at it, the expression on his face changed several times.

"What is this?" Armand asked casually, and took a sip while speaking.

Poytes pondered for a moment and told him.

"What, Your Excellency Lunifus's new work, another proof of the source of magic power school?

To be honest, I am a believer in the theory of the essence of mantras, I believe that mantras themselves have spirituality, and I don't really like this kind of thing..."

Armand shook his head in disappointment.

It seems that Roland is also a supporter of the Source of Magic School.

Poytes laughed: "The theory of the essence of spells does not support the silent casting of spells, and casting spells without spells should have been eliminated a long time ago.

If it weren't for me as a bard, I would also support the theory of the source of magic power. "

After all, in the context of modern arcane arts, it is inevitable for some ancient theories to become history.

Even Armand himself claimed to be a believer.

This shows that it has nothing to do with arcane arts, it is purely a preference and tendency.

At this point, most people are rational.

In addition, as the archmage, Lunifus has extremely high authority.

The two bards didn't dare to say more about it.

So I focused on Roland's post-reading impressions and read it.

"Seres' poems, songs and magic? The direction of the adaptation of the "Book of Songs" war song?"

Poytes quickly understood why Roland sent these things to himself.

"From a linguistic point of view, the colloquialization of written language is indeed a major trend.

The ancient text and characters are separate, and the written language and the spoken language of daily communication are also two completely different systems.

But with the changes of the times and the popularization of literature and articles, the characteristics of colloquial language are constantly reflected in written language, and vice versa.

The blending and unification of the two is actually an inevitable trend, which can be regarded as the rise and fall of literature. "

Ammand's face was rosy, and he said excitedly: "I'll just say it, before some people criticized me for being too popular and colloquial, but in fact, this is a big trend!

Poems, songs, novels and articles are originally written from complex to simple, from obscure to straightforward, from elites to ordinary people!

Mr. Roland also praised my "Song of the Five Emperors"..."

Poytes covered his forehead, he didn't fully agree with Armand's point of view.

But I have to admit that there are indeed some such trends.

Alas, in modern times, literature is dead, poetry is dead.

If we say, this is the inevitable trend of language development.

Then he could only look forward to whether a language like Siris could bring surprises to himself and the world of bards.

For some reason, Poytes always had an intuition.

The Seres language is definitely more than literary works like The Book of Songs.

……

"Incantation support for vernacular Chinese?"

"The development trend of the vernacular mantra..."

"New prospects for Siris magic spells..."

With the introduction of the relevant theories of Roland and Lunifuss, discussions in the arcane world have become more and more heated.

Some magic research institutions and individuals followed up and explored one after another.

For example, the supporters of the school, Bu Nuo, Pano and others, immediately explored the improvement of using simplified characters and vernacular Chinese.

Related runes and spells are also being demonstrated.

"Simplified characters, the magic resonance rate of vernacular is still as high as 95%, and it is still in the super magic range!"

"In a sense, it is indeed not as refined and powerful as classical Chinese, but it still has obvious advantages over other phonetic languages."

"What's more, we can use various techniques such as repetition, re-singing, harmony, etc. to deepen the resonance..."

(Note: Similar to the transformation of "Fan No-Have you eaten", it also expresses a meaning, and using more words to describe it is nothing more than a longer and more verbose mantra, but the meaning is still accurate.

Word resonance rate and overall resonance rate are different concepts. )
At this time, Roland was no longer alone.

After he laid the foundation of the theory, many people inside and outside the school followed up, and soon conducted a series of deduction and demonstrations to help him explore the direction and illuminate the future.

In just half a month, the topic intensified and became a new hot spot in the arcane world once again.

Dogula City, in the branch of the Autodox School.

"There is still a backer? It develops so fast..."

Gallo and Oxea also learned the ins and outs of the matter, and couldn't help but feel secretly annoyed.

Lunifers was originally a collaborator of the Siris Pinyin project. The relationship between her and Roland, even if outsiders don't know it, will feel very close.

This can be regarded as an indirect endorsement of the vernacular and once again provides assistance.

What the two of them didn't know was that Moreira, who was in the same city at the moment and came to develop in Sirena, had a new idea.

"Seres phantom magic cards, skill descriptions, vernacular text...

Why do I think that playing cards should be more compatible with storytelling?
Blaise, do you think so? "

The two card players discussed related topics.

Compared with the pair of Poist and Armand, their professionalism is higher, and they are both high-level mages.

So it soon entered the stage of demonstration and made new attempts.

I saw Moreira injecting his magic power into the card, trying to erase the text in it, and rewriting it in a way he understood.

This is a function of the phantom magic card, but not all cards can do this.

Because only mythical or epic level cards are made of materials such as magic crystals or mithril, and have real strange properties.

Ordinary wooden cards or playing cards can only be formed at one time.

What Moreira had in his hands was the limited edition mythical card "Zhu Rong" presented by Roland to make friends with them when he came to Lena World.

According to the open source agreement, he followed the rules of card production and translated the magic words on the card.

Immediately, the text introduction on the card was combined with the magic spell.

Some kind of mysterious connection is established.

"Appearance effect: Mythical Zhurong is the god of fire in the mythology of Siris. When this card appears on the stage, it will bring a flame and lava environment to the audience. All units of the enemy and us will lose their life continuously every round..."

"Activation effect: When Zhu Rong attacks, all attack damage is regarded as fire attribute, even if it is a specially blessed weapon or prop effect."

"Passive effect: When Zhu Rong is attacked, it will cause 90% fire damage to the attacker; Zhu Rong is immune to all types of fire damage, including but not limited to arcane side plasma Yuanyang cannon and other fire damage..."

(omit hundreds of words)

……

"Hahahaha, I'm such a genius!
Using this kind of vernacular, you can fully combine the relevant spells and card descriptions, further deepening the resonance rate.

In this way, the "magic card scrolling" that the card world has always advocated is completed!This can also be regarded as an innovation in scroll technology! "

Moreira laughed wildly, smug.

　Storytelling spell!
