Mage? Spell Engineer!.

Chapter 616 Preliminary Test
Richard, who was about to leave the station, was seen by Rorschach and Humboldt.

It is also possible that they did not see any specific people, and their field of vision was the entire Dalburg.

After the two men arrived at their destination ahead of time, they first made an aerial survey to determine the location and size of the main settlement of the Earldom, and also rescued several farmers in the suburbs whose houses were crushed by the heaviest snowfall in a century.

Those who were still breathing had been pulled back from the brink of hell by two or three people. Some were not so lucky, and when Rorschach and Humboldt came to inspect, they saw only wreckage buried in snow, earth, rocks and rubble.

"It's not bad." Humboldt confided, "I was able to save some lives. I was worried before the treatment. I was afraid that the healing spell would be distorted by the influence of the Mother Goddess and create monsters or make them grow weird flesh and blood."

"This proves that this place is still a certain distance away from the source of climate change and is not shrouded by any power." Rorschach's perception of the magic of the environment also confirmed this.

The two chose to go to a fir forest in the northwest of the territory. Looking down, they saw a vast expanse of white, with few people. Humboldt called on nature, and the feedback he received showed that there were no intelligent creatures active here.

"Right here, what do you think is the minimum range of the spell?"

"The maximum radius of a spell cast can be 100 kilometers. The minimum radius... I haven't thought about this question yet." Rorschach could only analyze and deduce from the underlying principles he had mastered: "It can't be too small, otherwise it won't be able to form a stable climate environment and will be wiped out by the surrounding extreme cold weather."

The effect of one shot can cover a small country. Humboldt sighed in his heart, and said: "It doesn't matter if it can't be maintained. Limit the scope and do the test first. Of course, this is just my suggestion."

"You are right. Let's test and make sure the process works first."

Having said that, Rorschach began his attempt.

In the past, when casting spells, especially high-level magic, he would always start by absorbing enough magic power from the environment, then transforming it according to his own will and the needs of the spell, and then outputting it.

It was powerful, but not efficient enough, especially at this moment, if he continued to use the old method, the space that Rorschach could change would be too narrow. He wanted to directly change the relationship between magic power and material energy.

For most spellcasters today, this is an incredible thing, because the effects of magic and divine arts of level nine and below all rely on magic power, which is the absolute intermediary through which the caster's will affects reality. Because magic power can be manipulated, it can change matter and affect the spirit, which is an iron rule that does not change in theory.

College teachers often say to freshmen, "The xx theorem you learned in high school is wrong. We need to add premises/consider conditions/supplement special cases." The same is true for the so-called iron rules in the other world.

Magic is the medium between the real world and the symbolic world, and all intelligent creatures with spirit and flesh occupy positions in both the real world and the symbolic world. Compared with other mages, they use magic as a medium and use their spirit to guide the symbolic world to project into the real world.

At this time, Rorschach already had enough influence in the symbolic world. The Tree of Law and the borderland were his grips, and all the spellcasters and alchemical equipment that used the spell cloud were like muscle fibers in his grips. Every time they used it, Rorschach's power in the symbolic world grew. Now this influence has reached a critical point, and it can be used to become the cornerstone of super-level magic, allowing Rorschach to directly exert his will on the symbolic world, rather than the magic itself.

Humboldt remained in the air, while Rorschach slowly descended. The moment he touched the ground, the concentration of magic power in the cedar forest area dropped drastically.

At this time, the great wizard who was watching thought that the caster had just mobilized and consumed a lot of magic power to prepare for the magic. At first glance, the so-called super-level magic was no different from the initiation of other spells. Humboldt's exclamation was only that Rorschach could draw so much energy in an instant, which was so terrifying.

However, if he knew the essence behind the drop in magic concentration, he would take a deep breath - at this time, within the casting range, the perceptible "reality" has begun to shift towards the coordinates of the symbolic world, and the form and absolute amount of magic existence have also changed accordingly.

The slight difference in magic concentration before and after, multiplied by the width of the area, results in a huge total amount of energy, which becomes the margin that Rorschach can control and use to transform it into light, heat and kinetic energy of air, water and other substances, or even abstract vitality according to his wishes.

The corresponding effect is a warmer climate, gentler winds, and water no longer in the form of ice crystals, but in the form of white clouds in the sky and trickling streams in the forest. After the vitality is full, microorganisms and plants are the first to reproduce and recover rapidly.

How to regulate light, water and heat, and how to use vitality to achieve resuscitation are operations at the execution level. Fortunately, Rorschach's previous experience and the wisdom of ancient sages can play a role at this time. The results are very harmonious and natural, without deformed animals and plants, excessive sun and violent floods.

This is just an adjustment and utilization of the world's "energy parameters". If Rorschach is willing to draw out some more magic power and include ordinary magic below level nine in the process of super-level magic, he will be able to see something similar to what the ancient sages did: yellow sand turns into soil, tree species from other places grow from it, and creatures that have never appeared before are given birth to. Mountains, rivers, and rivers can all be outlined on the ground according to his will.

Humboldt only saw the somewhat dim sky become brighter, the knife-like snowstorm became milder, and finally subsided completely. In the fir forest that he sensed, the spirit of nature regained its vitality.

He also landed beside Rorschach: "Is it over?"

"Yes." Rorschach felt his own achievements and evaluated: "If there is no human interference and the extremely cold weather in the surrounding environment no longer intensifies, the climate here can be maintained for a few years at most. Slowly, it will return to being cold and no different from other places." This artificially changed area will not only gradually homogenize the real climate, but more importantly, the corresponding "symbolic realm" area will also be homogenized, and the corresponding magic concentration will also rise.

Humboldt secretly felt that the whole process was not at all grand and earth-shattering, and the caster himself did not seem to have consumed much energy: "Cast the spell gently and gracefully. If it can really be expanded to a radius of 100 miles, the effect will still be very impressive."

At least for now, Humboldt believed that many great wizards, including himself, could achieve the current effect, but it was just to change the microclimate of a forest. Rorschach could shape an entire area with one spell, so if they tried hard, it would not be impossible to transform it in a month.

Are you still emphasizing the difference in quantity? Rorschach just smiled at his senior and didn't explain anything more: "Since the small-scale attempt was successful, I can prepare to expand the spell. As you said, the process is gentle and no one will be hurt."

But he knew in his heart that there was a world of difference between "Let there be light, and there was light" and "Let there be light, and use [illumination]".
