Mage Joan

If the improved version of "Plant Withering" can kill supernatural plants, what is the specific lethality?

Since there is no reference indicator for the original spell, Qiao An could not answer the above questions, so he could only seek answers in experiments.

The "killer vine" that was driven away by Qiao'an just now was about to move around, waving a thorn-streaked thorn to surround Qiao'an.

"Ambar!"

Qiao An once again resorted to "Plant Withering", but this time it was an improved version of the Eoh rune, and turned on "Advanced Inner Vision" in advance to closely monitor the vitality changes of "Killer Vine".

The process of life to death is "destruction", and this meaning is presented in front of Qiao An in the most intuitive way.

The moment the spell exploded, more than a dozen "killer vines" withered collectively, their vitality plummeted, and after just three seconds, they all stopped creeping, turning from emerald bushes into piles of dehydrated dry wood.

Through the monitoring of "Advanced Internal Vision", Qiao An found that the improved version of "Plant Withering" caused an average of 10 levels of damage to the "Killer Vine"-this damage value has exceeded the "Killer Vine" life limit, the result is Suddenly died out.

As a 3rd-level spell, the destructive power of 10 levels seems quite satisfactory, but considering the large and abnormal attack range of "Plant Withering", it is enough to reflect how remarkable the Eoh rune is to its strengthening effect!

Looking at the corpse of the "killer vine" turned into waste wood, Qiao An nodded in satisfaction, and took a pen to record the experimental data.

"Plant withering" can be used in two ways, to cause a plant to wither quickly, or to curse a larger crop to reduce its yield. Qiao An only tested the former usage, and then plans to conduct comparative experiments on the latter usage.

The yield reduction effect caused by the curse will not be reflected until the harvest season. The crop growth cycle is too long, and Qiao Ann cannot stay on the island for two or three months. It is best to adopt a workaround to artificially shorten the crop from germination to maturity. Growth cycle.

In order to design the production reduction experiment, Joan specially used the 3rd-level spell "Sands of Time" as a blueprint and invented a 6th-level spell-"Sands of Time".

The original "Sand of Time" is only effective on a single target touched by the caster, accelerating maturity and aging.

Qiao An’s "Sand of Time in the Mass" expands the basic range of the spell to 100 feet, and the range of influence is expanded from a single unit to all creatures within a 20-foot radius, and the subject’s aging speed can be fine-tuned for experimental observation. .

Qiao An stepped on the dead branches and heard a crackling sound under his feet. He crossed the abandoned campsite and came to the wild sugarcane field growing near the stream. He circled three experimental fields with similar areas, which were marked as "Experiment Group No. 1". , "No. 2 Experimental Group" and "Control Group".

Qiao An first casts an improved version of "Plant Withering" on the "Experimental Group No. 1", cursing the wild sugarcane field covering an area of ​​about 1,000 square feet, and then casts the original version of "Plant Withering" on the field where the "Experimental Group No. 2" is located, and chooses the same "Production curse" mode.

As for the "control group", Joan did not cast a curse.

Next, Qiao An extracted 3 "mythical powers" and cast "Sands of Time in Groups" on the three test plots respectively to accelerate the growth and development of wild sugarcane, and fully mature in just a few seconds.

Joan stopped the spell to prevent the sugar cane from aging.

The conditions of the three experimental plots are clear at a glance. Taking the "control group" without the curse of yield reduction as a benchmark, the "experimental group No. 2" with the original version of "plant withering" is obviously stunted, and the sugarcane output is only two-thirds of the "control group"; As for the "Experimental Group No. 1" with an improved version of "Plant Withering", sugarcane is generally short and weak, growing sparsely, and the output is only one-third of the "control group".

Three plots with the same water, heat and soil conditions are planted with the same crop. The original version of "Withering Plants" can reduce the yield of cursed wild sugarcane by one third, while the improved version of "Withering Plants" has a stronger curse effect than the original version. If it is doubled, the theoretical output reduction should be two-thirds, which is also proved in experiments.

Qiao An was very satisfied with this set of experimental data, and took a pen to record it, but unfortunately the content of the experiment involved the rune of Rune, which made it inconvenient to publish research papers publicly.

In the sparse sugarcane bushes, there seems to be metal reflecting light.

Qiao An rubbed his stinged eyes and walked over to take a look. He unexpectedly found that there was a skeleton lying across the sugarcane bush. It was twelve feet long from head to toe. The figure should be a giant, wearing a thick body. The knight's armor, holding a broad sword to death.

The bones of this giant warrior have been asleep on the banks of the stream for many years, hidden by weeds and sand. If Joan hadn't used a spell to eliminate the bushes and "killer vines" that originally entrenched this generation, and used curses to make this wild The sugar cane bush was stunted and sparsely developed, and the bones could not be exposed in front of him.

Qiao An approached to observe and found that the armor worn on the giant's bones and the broadsword in his hand were all rusty. Using the "Hand of the Mage", he lifted the helmet visor, revealing the pale skull, and his mouth opened wide, as if he was still roaring unwillingly before he died.

Looking at the bones of this giant warrior, Qiao An had an idea and decided to use this ready-made material to test the recently learned 6th-level spell to "evoke the dead" and create an immortal servant.

The original example of "Arousing the Necromancer" was to create a "Ghoul", but a wretched ghoul could not satisfy the appetite of a genius mage. When studying "Arousing the Necromancer", Qiao An wrote himself based on the example. Several new modules can be replaced to create other types of undead.

There is no limit to the types of undead creatures that can be created in "Awakening the Undead", but the ceiling of the magic power level is objective. A simple conversion can tell that using this spell to create a single undead creature has a maximum level of 15.

Contrast with the "Bound of Otherworldly", which is also a 6th-level spell. There are no restrictions on the types of otherworldly creatures that can be called, but the maximum creature level is only 15-this is not a coincidence. The schools of spells may be different, but as long as It is a 6th-level spell, usually subject to the same upper limit of magic power.

Of course, by adding special casting materials or fusing Rune runes and other means, the upper limit of the spell slot's magic power can also be broken, but this does not have universal significance, and Qiao An will not consider it for the time being.

When Qiao Ann created the Constructed Servant, he thought that he would either not do it, or do the best. The final magic pilot was a mid-level construct in name, but its comprehensive performance was beyond that. High-end constructs such as "Iron Golem".

At this moment, he intends to create an undead servant, and he is also adhering to the same concept-under the constraints of the current conditions, he will try to create an undead servant with the best overall performance.
