The Truth of Magic

Chapter 180 Midsummer's Spell Notes (24)

After hearing Zhao Xu's request, Andy, the tall and thin man, woke up like a dream. He hurriedly reached out and fumbled on the ground, but because of nervousness, he found nothing.

Then let me do it. Seeing that the man named Andy was so nervous, Zhao Xu simply cast the Mage's Hand and let the black classic fly into his hands.

At this time, those young men and women also watched this scene silently. Even if they lived in Mystra, every time they saw these spells, they could recall the sighs in their parents' eyes when they found out that they had not become a mage or a priest.

After Zhao Xu controlled the book to fly to his hands and clenched it tightly, he did not open it in a hurry, but looked at the man Andy with questioning eyes.

Waiting for the other party to add some information to him.

For example, there is a magic tome in the legendary library, which itself is also a magic item called Scroll of Unknown Origin.

Reading it also grants a +5 competence bonus on Knowledge checks, as long as the alignment matches.

Read that scroll, and as time increases, you can get corresponding improvements. But when you read a scroll, you are also taking an adventure. Every hour can be countered by the scrolls, with consequences ranging from insanity, to being cursed, to becoming a ghost.

So for books of unknown origin, Zhao Xu would not open them immediately.

But Andy looked at Zhao Xu's bright eyes falling on him, and then thought of the terrifying identity of the other party, he couldn't help but panic, and quickly explained: I don't know the name of this book, I found it from the family's possessions. I only know that my ancestors ventured to obtain it from a mysterious tomb a long time ago. It's just that the ancestors died of serious injuries soon after returning from the adventure, so This tome has also been sealed away.”

Is there any special effect? Zhao Xu then asked.

These primitive rituals are recorded in mysterious books in ancient tombs, which sounds plausible.

At this time, Andy sat up cross-legged, ignoring the impact of the gravel on the ground, and began to recall: My ancestors took it to the mages for identification, and confirmed that it was actually a magic item. As for the effect——

At this time, Andy couldn't help looking at the classic book with a look of fear, and said, The words recorded on it will have spirituality.

Zhao Xu's heart moved after hearing this, You mean that the summoning ceremony just now was copied by you yourself?

Andy's face became paler, and he nodded, We saw that ceremony in a mysterious shop selling ancient relics on Mistra Central Street. Out of curiosity, I copied the content of the ceremony on the stone slab After Lisa’s accident, I wanted to really carry out this ceremony, and I went to that store on purpose, but the stone slab was bought by the mage long ago.”

The first requirement for the performance of the ceremony is to make the incantation that was transcribed into the ceremony spiritual. I also thought of this, so I deliberately dug out this classic from the family's collection.

Zhao Xu listened to the other party's description, which was basically logical.

As for possessing spirituality, he probably understood what it meant. When they transcribed spells, they required spirituality in the text, that is, they had to use ink and quill pens specially used for transcribing spells, and at the same time use arcane text.

He didn't expect that the ancient book in his hand would have the same effect. Wouldn't it be equivalent to a different kind of blessing book?

Can spells be transcribed without materials?

It's just that this book doesn't seem to be able to withstand copying. A ninth-level spell will take up nine pages of space, which is much lower than the legendary 1,000-page blessing book.

There is no difference at all from the ordinary 100-page spell book, except that the material cost is saved.

However, Zhao Xu also made up his mind. Later, he would copy some core spells that the association was open to purchase and learn, and then sell the copied books.

After thinking about it, Zhao Xu directly took out the organist goggles that Antinoya had given him before, and cast detection magic on the classic on the spot.

Immediately detects the light of magic through the transformation of the goggles, and the energy of the spell is integrated into the interior of the tome.
