"The essence of magic is to use the free energy in the air, at least most of it. We can call this energy magic. The principle of magicians using magic is to use their own mental power to manipulate the magic in the air. There is one thing.

Remember, mental power and magic power are interlinked. At certain special moments, if you cannot connect to magic power, you can also directly consume mental power and forcefully use magic. But this is only a final resort, and it is best not to do it easily.

Use it. Then again, your mental power is amazingly strong, so it’s not a big problem.”

In the antique shop, Balsa was giving Lin Xuan his first lesson, about the nature of magic and its basic principles.

"Teacher, you just said that most magic is achieved by using magic power. Does that mean that some magic is achieved by using other energies?"

Balsa hesitated for a moment and then said: "Yes, in addition, there are other ways to use magic. But most of them are black magic. The use of blood, sacrifice, and contact with some alien planes

They trade with creatures to cast magic. Earlier, some devout clergy could also use magic-like abilities, but I haven't seen that for many years."

"Does blood also contain energy?"

"This is the category of black magic. Black magic is generally believed to contain the vitality of the human body in the blood. They extract this energy to obtain magical effects. These are very evil methods. What you have to do now is to be serious.

Learn the magic of our line."

"Yes, teacher. So, what about the spell? Since we use mental power to perform magic, what role does the spell play in this process?"

"The fact that you can think of this question at this time shows that you are very talented. We do use mental power to manipulate magic to perform magic. But magic is not so easy to control. They may not be alive, but they will resist your call. This

It requires us to use stronger mental power to control them. But some powerful magics have too strict requirements for the manipulation of magic power. As long as there is any slight mistake during the operation of a complex magic power, the entire magic will fail, or even

It will cause backlash. At this time we need spells. Most of the spells are very obscure and difficult to read, and there is no logic. This is because we do not need any logical sentences, what we need is the subtle nuances produced when chanting the spell.

vibration to fine-tune the operation of magic power."

"That means the spell itself is meaningless, right?"

"Yes, all spells are just auxiliary things for a certain magic. In a sense, if your mental power is strong enough and your control is precise enough, you can cast all the spells without any spells.

Magic. In fact, your mental strength can be said to be the only one who can possibly do it."

"You always say that I have strong mental power, but how strong is it?"

"In terms of mental power, magicians do not have a real unit to describe it. Simply put, your mental power is the strongest I have ever seen, several times stronger than me. At the beginning, I could hardly believe the world.

There is someone with such strong spiritual power in the world. It’s a pity that the Ring of Merlin didn’t recognize you, otherwise you might have become the strongest descendant of Merlin.”

Lin Xuan settled in an antique shop and began his life of learning magic. Balsa had a complete magic inheritance and cherished this disciple very much. He even slowed down his search for Merlin's successor and concentrated on teaching Lin Xuan

.

Unlike the magic courses in Harry Potter and other worlds, Balthasar's first lesson is combat magic. In his words, magicians are born to walk on the edge of danger. We must fight against black magicians and those supernatural disasters.

, and the invasion of alien planes. So the first thing every magician must learn is to fight.

A ball of blue flame ignited in Balthazar's hand, and then he waved his hands, and a magic circle burning with blue flame appeared on the ground.

"This is the Merlin Circle. It can help you gather magic power better and perceive it more effectively. Now, stand inside."

Lin Xuan followed his words and walked into the Plum Grove Circle. The blue flames did not bring any burning sensation. There was just a warm feeling surrounding him.

"Now close your eyes and slowly release your mental power to sense your surroundings."

Lin Xuan concentrated, released his mental power, and entered an extremely ethereal state. Suddenly, he found that a completely different picture appeared around his body.

They were elves-like lights that were beating around him. Lin Xuan could easily feel the power contained in them. It was pure energy, and it was in an extremely unstable state.

This is probably the reason why it can be shaped into magic with various attributes. Lin Xuan could even feel that he could easily gather this energy using his mental power. But he thought twice and held back. There was no preparation.

Under such circumstances, the greatest possibility of forcibly gathering magical elements is to cause an explosion.

He exited that strange state and told Balthazar his feelings in detail.

"You are the first person to be able to describe the magic elements so clearly when you first perceive the magic. Very good, remember this feeling. You have to do it so that you can clearly perceive the magic even without using the Merlin Circle.

.This shouldn’t be a problem for you.”

"Yes, I can do it now." Lin Xuan said, and a crooked ball of light appeared in his hand.

Balsa suddenly felt shocked. Back then, the three of them were able to be guarded by Merlin as disciples, which shows that the magic talent must be first-class. But now the disciple in front of him is simply a monster. If he knew that Lin Xuan had been trying not to scare him

I don’t know how I feel when I hide most of my mental power.

Balsa calmed down and said, "In this case, let's start the first magic connection. Particle balls are a common attack method for magicians. We gather magic elements and shape them. Through the guidance of mental power,

And the combination of spells will transform it into a particle ball. Then release it to attack the opponent. It can produce a certain impact effect and electric shock effect. If a large amount of magic elements are gathered, it can also produce a certain explosion and high temperature effect. Now follow me

Do as you say.”

Following Balthazar's guidance, Lin Xuan gathered the magic elements and recited the spell. A blue ball of beating particles gradually took shape in his hand.

"Stay steady and remember. The moment when the particle ball is about to take shape, it is most likely to make mistakes."

Following Balthazar's words, Lin Xuan could indeed feel that the particle ball in his hand had a tendency to go berserk. He quickly concentrated and chanted the spell over and over again. Finally, he successfully stabilized the particle ball. Then

He pushed his hand forward, and a fist-sized particle ball passed through a blue light and hit the target in front of him. Because his mental power was too strong, the particle ball was unexpectedly powerful. It directly hit the target in front of him.

The target exploded into pieces.
