Chapter 460 Iteration of the Tree of Law

The Tree of Law and the Tower Spirit both grow stronger as the number of users increases. For the Tree of Law itself, the more nodes that are born, the higher its level in the symbolic world.

The tower spirits rely on computing cores, and there are no real computing machines at the "border". Either the tower spirits are connected to real machines running in the material world, or as the Tree of Law grows, fictional computing units are formed under the roots according to the "perfect blueprint".

In other words, the more prosperous the Tree of Law, the higher the performance of the Tower Spirit, which is natural. However, the growth gain of the Tree of Law by the users of "Spell Cloud" is limited, and the improvement of the performance of the Tower Spirit is also limited. The relationship between the user and the performance is both mutually reinforcing and mutually restrictive.

The best way to reduce the pressure on the "Tower Spirit" is to limit the number of times the user can cast spells. Currently, Rorschach has asked the Tower Spirit to set the standard that there is no limit on zero-level spells, and high-level spells provide a number of times for each level of use based on the level of the mage.

The Tree of Law can sense the energy level of the caster, which is divided into three stages from elementary to advanced. This is consistent with the magic level that the "Magic Guild Emblem" can sense, indicating that it is a universal rule that the caster's intrinsic magic has three stages.

Referring to the guild system, the three major levels of mages are divided into three minor levels to form a complete mage level. Each upgrade can gain a higher number of spellcasting times and unlock a higher ring level. Upgrading minor levels is also similar to the guild system. Submitting your own magic to the spell cloud or making other contributions can accumulate points and advance.

In other words, the opening of permissions depends on two dimensions: personal strength and contribution. The intention is the same as that of the guild, but compared to the guild's treatment of mages of different levels, which is only a division of treatment and honor, the Spell Cloud gives real improvements to those who have been promoted.

The use of spells is restricted according to the mysterious practice of Rorschach's previous life. The statistics of the number of spell castings are refreshed every 4 o'clock in the evening based on the time of the Bain Kempson area.

"A third-level wizard is allowed to use one fourth-level spell and three third-level spells. The number of casting times is quite generous." Feuerbach helped Rorschach evaluate the current system. For ordinary low-level spellcasters, casting spells of the third level and above is not easy. They usually need complicated incantations or gestures. Spells of this level generally require the assistance of casting materials.

The system provided by Rorschach is consistent from low level to high level. It only requires the use of endogenous magic power to construct and stimulate the magic frequency according to rules. As for how to induce environmental magic, most of the operations are actually replaced by the tower spirit.

After the two discussed, the preliminary rules were set. Since Feuerbach himself was a member of the Arcane Senate, he could provide Rorschach with a lot of references in evaluating the contributions of mages and designing promotion conditions, that is, drawing on the system of the Magic Guild.

For Andre, Hannah and others who have experienced free casting, the limit on the number of casting times is a reverse upgrade, but Rorschach also plans to launch a very useful feature, "spell chaining".

When the spell cloud was first created, the first magic uploaded, "Major Accident Reversal Spell", was a spell string composed of multiple spells. However, at that time, he constructed it entirely based on his own spellcasting habits, and there was no clear regulation on whether the various spells should be activated in parallel or in sequence.

Now the "spell chaining" function will be refined and standardized, allowing users to package multiple spells and give them a timeline - they can be activated in parallel, or in sequence according to the arrangement of the timeline, or in a loop within the timeline. The timing of spellcasting is not the time scale of the material world, but is divided according to the timing components in the fictional computing unit. The current time scale is 128 grids, named "spell ticks" by Rorschach. Most "entries", that is, the activation of nodes to the induction of environmental magic to produce effects, require 4-8 grids of spell ticks, and complex descriptors also take up more spell ticks.

In simple terms, the description of stipulating that [Light] emits blue light only requires 1 spell tick, but using the transformation magic of "mapping" to call up the image of the "cup" in your mind requires about 2 spell ticks; constructing a person's face from the caster's memory requires 7 spell ticks; to transform into an elemental creature or astral creature, and the prerequisite is that the caster already has enough understanding of the target, the tower spirit still needs to collect relevant information in its mind and obtain the essence of the target creature from the real original layer for matching. The final timeline occupied may be 10 ticks, 20 ticks, or even fail.

The construction of "spell chains" is also restricted according to the level of the mage. For low-level mages of level 3 and below, they can call all the magic in the spell cloud they have mastered and open a double timeline, which means that at most two spells can be used in parallel. However, even if the timeline is not full, the cumulative number of spells called cannot exceed three. Spell chains can only be used once a day.

Intermediate mages are allowed to build three-layer timelines, with a spell string that can call up to five spells, and the highest level of magic called up cannot exceed the fourth ring. There are two opportunities to use it every day.

As for the Archmage, the Archmage who still relies on the Spell Cloud to cast spells can be buried! The Spell String cannot accommodate high-level magic. The Archmage of normal level can naturally achieve the functions provided by the "Tower Spirit", so there is no need.

Every time a spell string is fixed, the tower spirit will generate a new string of frequencies, which is a simplified casting system, trying to make the time required to release the spell string and the casting difficulty close to that of a single spell.

According to Rorschach's idea, the construction of "spell strings" should also be shareable. For example, the builder can publish his own spell strings on the "spell cloud" or record them into scrolls so that others can "copy homework".

If you can publish and obtain spells on the "Spell Cloud", should it be called "Creative Workshop" or "Spell Chain Warehouse"? No, no, no, in that case, we have to find a way to develop a visual communication interface for each Spell Cloud user. Wouldn't that mean giving everyone a panel?
Will the tower spirit let the preserved egg spirit beat me up? After all, every time a function is added, its workload will increase dramatically.
When Rorschach told Feuerbach about the idea of ​​spell chains, the master was somewhat conflicted. It was foreseeable that "spell chains" could greatly enhance the transformation and combat power of low-level wizards, but at the same time, it was conceivable that with such a convenient aid, they might not study difficult spellcasting techniques anymore.

The Thirteen Magic Towers all knew deeply the nature of those apprentices and most low-level wizards - lazy dogs.

To use the words of Rorschach in his previous life: Just use it, why do you need a bicycle?

The master was a little uncomfortable. After helping Rorschach build and debug the new system that was about to change the Tree of Magic, he raised his doubts: "Master Rorschach, don't you think this new system is not very 'magical'?"
