V2C21-What is magic? Can it be eaten? (6)
We followed her to the outside.
She knelt down on the open space in front of the dormitory, from the robes she took out a glass tube filled with viscous blue liquid, opened it, poured it out a little, picked up a branch, stained it, and began to draw on the ground skillfully: “this type of magic basically uses ancient elvish runes instead of incantation. During the exam, a fixed preparation time will be given to drawing runes. The interrelated rune has a fixed template, and each form has a corresponding template. In this circumstance, you guys should just focus on a suitable form. The general process is to create a form by using specific materials to depict a specific rune and magic circle, and then resonating with the spirit, pour magic power into it. The construction of form is a very rigorous process, and any mistake in the part could lead to magic failure. If the magic performance is compared to casting, then the magic power is considered as raw iron and the rune as the mold for casting. The mold determines whether the finished product is a hammer or a sword, that is, the shape of the finished product and the material determines the size and completion of the finished product. If the mold is defective, or the material is not enough, it will lead to problems in the finished product. That is to say, when the rune is drawn, neither the material nor the style of the rune can be wrong, and the level of the form chosen should be within the tolerance range of the caster’s magic power.”
Soon a neat and complex pattern was finished drawing by her, then she raised her head towards us and suddenly frowned, “what is that expression?”
“Nothing….” I shook my head quickly.
However, Angelica blabbered: “A brain like you…. Is unexpectedly so good at this—uh! ”
I covered her mouth.
“D*mn girl, come here!” Felina gritted her teeth and got up, and the poor branch got snapped in her clenched fist.
“Don’t get annoyed, don’t get annoyed! She is still young and naive …” I quickly raised my other hand to persuade.
Angelica brushed off my hand from her mouth: “I just… told the truth, Brock also… think like this—uh!”
I quickly covered her mouth again.
Though Felina gritted her teeth with anger, she restrained herself and didn’t rush over here. It seems she has finally realized she couldn’t beat Angelica.
“Huh! I’m too lazy to argue with you guys!” she knelt down angrily and resumed her demonstration. She placed her hand on top of the circle and began to concentrate.
Quickly the pattern drawn with blue liquid glowed brightly, and countless shimmering dust particles rose up from there and gathered over her arm to create a form, then gradually the outline became clear.
Finally, an eagle appeared on Felina’s arm and flapped its wings. Although the translucent, faint gesture gives a kind of illusory feeling, the vigorous form and movement still make people feel that it is alive.
“Wow!” angelica exclaimed.
“It’s really amazing” I also sincerely admired.
“Hump, now do you understand how powerful this eldest lady is?” Felina stood up with the eagle and gave a smug smile.
“One more!” Angelica clapped her hand excitedly “can you…change it to a kitten?”
“Do you think I’m a roadside performer?” Felina’s nerves were stirred up by her again.
“Don’t get angry. The lecture is important!” I quickly brought the topic to the main subject to stop the quarrel.
The relationship between the two is really not good.
Felina snorted and began to explain to us: “the general process is like this. In fact, most mages do not use the basic method to create constructs. This kind of construct which is purely made by magic consumes magic power and lacks self-consciousness, so it can be called a caster’s clone. However, on the other hand, it is also very easy to manipulate. Whether controlling or retracting, is at the whim of the caster.”
Felina waved her hand, and the eagle, like a sand sculpture, dispersed into countless shimmering dust particles and disappeared into the air.
“What should we do now? Should we try it by ourselves?” I raised my hand.
“How can that be possible? You two rookies don’t even have the ability to perceive magic power.” Felina gave me a blank look, “I’ll have to check you guys’ magic level first.”
