Chapter 461 Future Possibilities

At first Rorschach did not understand what the master meant, but after communication he understood.

Magic should be mysterious and unfathomable. The principles and mechanisms behind it are worth the caster's exhausting intelligence and life to study, and it can even be called art. Regardless of whether this concept is correct or not, it is the pride of the Tower of Secrets and even the entire wizard group.

But the system that Rorschach had given was too clear. Even though there were two systems, "descriptors" and "signatures", in the eyes of the great wizard, it was as simple as speaking. The most complicated step had already been completed by the uploader and the tower spirit, and all those who subsequently released that magic were just "users".

In other words, the cost of learning magic will be greatly reduced. More importantly, the so-called "veil of mystery" will not disappear, but will be stuffed into a simpler and clearer system by Rorschach, making it invisible to most people.

There are benefits, such as lowering the learning threshold and the difficulty of casting spells. On the other hand, mages who only know the magic of the new system will lose the opportunity to see the essence and mechanism of magic, as well as the motivation to delve into it.

"Although I can't know what you're worried about, I can probably understand your views on the new system. To me, primitive magic is not that mysterious. The new system is also based on primitive magic. Its effectiveness can only prove that primitive magic is not chaotic. It also has rules and can be re-edited.

"On the other hand, I admit that the new system, in addition to being more convenient, also has negative aspects. It can be tampered with and is participated in by the tower spirits. In other words, compared to the uncertainty and infinite possibilities of the original magic, it is more rigid and mechanical.

“However, even so, for most people, they just want to use magic faster and better, and don’t care about the principles and mechanisms behind it. In the past, they had no choice but to start from the most basic concepts and learn little by little, and Spell Cloud can help them.

"There is also a small group of people who may have extraordinary talents and endless energy to explore and devote themselves to magic. Even if these people start out leaning on the 'Spell Cloud' as a crutch, they will eventually reach the limits of the new system and break through to the unknown and impossible. At that time, they will naturally return to the original magic and even become improvers and maintainers of the 'Spell Cloud'.

"We are just the first generation." Now Rorschach himself, Caroline and Feuerbach are involved, and there will definitely be more spellcasters in the future. Of course, the "ancient sage" can also be counted. The knowledge he bestowed and Rorschach's memory are integrated in the tower spirit, giving the spell cloud a unique and powerful processing function.

Feuerbach nodded slowly, tentatively agreeing with Rorschach's statement, but his "torture" was not over yet: "One more thing. The 'Tree of Law' you call it has a will, right? Why do you keep calling it 'Tower Spirit'?"

From the beginning, the master had a problem with the oversized "pickled egg spirit". Rorschach only vaguely said that it was the guardian of this place. Feuerbach clearly saw that the light in its body was linked to the Tree of Law and could understand what they were saying. And when Rorschach and he compiled a new system, Rorschach was more like communicating with the Tree of Law.

The well-informed wizard soon became convinced that the Tree of Dharma had its own will.

This was the biggest hidden danger and danger signal. For him, who did not understand the Tower Spirit, it was very dangerous for a thinking intelligent being to take over the spellcasting of countless mages.

"But it is really a tower spirit." Rorschach spread his hands, saying that he just found a steward for the Tree of Law to facilitate their handling of various systems: "It was created using [Enlightenment] and artificial souls."

"Have you ever thought about it gaining divinity?" Feuerbach reminded: "If it can call upon all spells cast by spellcasters in the future, can witness and interfere with the spellcasting situation in the world, and can influence all mages who use the new system to cast spells, it will be no different from a god."

It seems to be true. Rorschach also thought about the growth of the tower spirit, but he was just a pure performance party, focusing on whether the magic cloud could add more users and launch more functions. "The system is still very immature now, but it is limited to low- and medium-level magic, and it is far from the 'Tree of Truth' that covers the original layer. But one day, it and your so-called 'tower spirit' will grow to a critical value, or undergo a qualitative change. At that time, it is not impossible to give birth to a real god of magic.

"Either, strip away its mind, make it completely dead and mechanical, and make it a universal machine instead of a thinking being. Only then can the user of the spell cloud ensure that everything is under control. Or, transfer all this authority and burden to yourself. Perhaps that will be a miracle, a way for you to ascend to godhood."

"That's too far away." Rorschach had seen the real thing, and his current Tree of Law was not even a branch compared to the real thing.

Rorschach's unmoved attitude made Feuerbach feel relieved: "Yes, that is too far in the future. But anyway, you are the creator and owner of all this. The future is up to you, Rorschach."

His eyes were scrutinizing: "Fortunately, up to now you have not been a 'monopolist', and you are willing to work hard to lower the threshold for casting magic, and are willing to bring me here to participate in the construction of the system.

"But what about the future? I'm not sure what you will choose, and the Spell Cloud is still in its infancy, so please allow the Tower of Mysticism to continue observing."

Feuerbach once expressed during a discussion with Rorschach that he hated it most when gods monopolized a concept and turned it into their own authority. If a magic god like the gods of the past were born, it would undoubtedly be the biggest disaster for a magician like Feuerbach. Fortunately, the "spell cloud" has always been an option besides primitive magic, and Rorschach currently shares miracles with an open attitude.

The master would not deny the ownership of everything in the "junction" (he had not yet discovered why this space gave him a familiar feeling), and he acknowledged that Rorschach had absolute dominance. Since Rorschach was willing to open up to more people and promote the growth of the tree, it was not unacceptable.

However, you still need to accumulate credit and maintain an open attitude, and then you will have more and more credit. If you rely on your authority to interfere with others in a rude manner, your credit will be destroyed.

At least while the mages still have a choice, let us see your true face and your true heart. Feuerbach thought so.

In the end, the Tower of Mysticism and Rorschach reached a compromise. The Special Zone not only paid to save the bank, but also obtained shares of the three major banks. Although the Kingdom was not very happy, there was nothing it could do.

What Rorschach was really concerned about was that his own mage tower had accepted a large number of spellcasters. The fate of these apprentices had been permanently changed, and they had actually been separated from the old system, whether it was the "Tower of Mysticism" or the original magic.

As for the idea of ​​adding a spell cloud course to this department, it was rejected by Feuerbach, but he promised to organize professors to participate in the research and promote its continued iteration and upgrading.

In early July, Carolyn returned to the podium after a long absence. The students in this class had all struggled in the Tower of Mysticism.

After introducing herself, she took out a piece of paper and read: "Before class, I'll make an announcement. The following new ways to earn points for advancement have been added: registering for the first Magic Apprentice Spell Design Competition and winning a place; optimizing the descriptors of existing spells and getting approval from the Tower Spirit; and teaching at Kempson Elementary and Middle School."
