Chapter 124 Every Day Becomes More 'Fulfilling'
Different spells have different characteristics—but even if a wizard learns a spell, he can only guarantee that he has a basic understanding of the characteristics of the spell.
For example, Loon knows that the missile spell has a tracking and locking effect.
But more specific information, such as the specific damage capabilities of the missile spell, and the priority of tracking and locking, requires other testing methods.
As for the testing method, Luo Ang only knows of one so far.
That was when he was practicing the Boiling spell, casting it on the Crimson Wizard and himself, and then observing the effects of the spell.
Boiling is only an auxiliary spell. Even if it is cast with hostility, it is only a disruptive spell and will not cause any real harm to the wizard.
But this missile technique is completely different.
This is a truly offensive spell that can cause considerable damage to wizards—even if Loon compresses its power to the limit, it will still cause damage.
Loang could never bring himself to test damage on his own companions.
"It seems we can only hope that among the wizards of the central kingdoms, there will be a few lucky ones."
"Hopefully, we can test this missile technique during our battle with them."
Luo Ang shook his head.
Real-world testing is a rather dangerous testing method—but he did not choose it.
Ultimately, it comes down to a lack of knowledge.
"It's impossible for everyone in the wizarding community to test spell information through actual combat."
"Therefore, there must be a more normal method for testing spells."
"school!"
"There must be such a method within any school of thought!"
Loon recalled his conversation with the Orchid Wizard... or more precisely, the teachings he received from the Orchid Wizard.
The vast majority of the knowledge possessed by the Orchid Wizard came from exchanges with wizards of various schools during the war.
According to the Orchid Wizard, the wizarding schools of the Central Kingdoms all originated from the Central Continent—they can not only open teleportation arrays leading to the Central Continent, but also communicate and exchange ideas with the native schools of the Central Continent when opening the teleportation arrays.
Therefore, although the wizards in those schools also grew up in this barren plane, the knowledge they possessed and the system of knowledge they formed far surpassed that of wild wizards.
The wizard war two hundred years ago was full of ups and downs.
In order to achieve ultimate victory, both conservative and unorthodox wizards imparted their knowledge to the wild wizards.
In this way, the monopoly of the schools of wizards on 'wizard knowledge' was finally broken.
Otherwise, given the limited connections between the school of wizards and the Central Continent, even if their interactions were infrequent, the sheer power of the Central Continent would have allowed the wizards of this barren plane to surpass those of the wild wizards by several generations within the framework of wizarding knowledge.
"I wonder if, after the war two hundred years ago, these conservative schools of wizards in the central kingdoms are still blocking the knowledge they gained from the central continent."
According to the information Loon currently has, knowledge from the Central Continent went through two major changes, from being "monopolized" by schools of thought to being opened to those wild wizards.
The first major upheaval was the war between the Bird School and the Spiral of Life School. The Bird School, which was initially at a disadvantage, gained more support from wild wizards by sharing knowledge, and then decisively defeated the Spiral of Life School, causing it to decline from its peak and now only able to "lie dormant underground".
The second major upheaval was the war of change initiated by the Orchid Wizard and his followers two hundred years ago.
"After these two upheavals, no school of thought can afford to ignore the number and power of wild wizards anymore."
"They are even wary of the existence of nobles, and they will create a sense of security for those nobles."
"There's no reason for them to ignore the existence and demands of wild wizards."
"It's a pity that before Ralph was taken away by Kiris, I forgot to ask him how those schools of thought made wild wizards do things for them."
Most wizards are selfish; they won't do anything without a reason, especially wild wizards.
The wizarding schools of the central kingdoms were able to suppress those wild wizards and make them abide by their "rules" not only because of the deterrent effect of power, but also because of the irresistible lure of profit!
Loon guessed that what the schools of thought were using to lure wild wizards was most likely 'knowledge'.
"If only I had asked Ralph for this information when he was still here," Loen thought to himself, shaking his head.
The capture of Ralph Wizard was ultimately done somewhat hastily—although he and Scarlet Wizard discussed many issues when questioning Ralph Wizard, the haste made it impossible to clarify all the questions.
For example, they only knew that Wizard Ralph had been sent to Forked Ridge on a "mission" from the school, but they forgot to ask what "benefits" he could get from the school.
"It seems that if an unavoidable conflict really occurs and it really comes to the point of war, we should pay more attention to the wizards of the Flying Bird School."
If what Loen guessed was true, and the academic wizards were using knowledge to lure the wild wizards, even though his current stance differed from that of the central kingdoms, he still had a great chance and opportunity to acquire the relevant knowledge from the academics.
Especially the Asuka school!
As the most powerful wizarding school among the central kingdoms, the Asuka School possesses the most extensive and "newest" knowledge.
"Kiris was right. We should stock up on more of that sleep dust."
"And then there's the missile attack and the acid splash."
"The former needs to be tested with actual combat to verify the specific data."
"The latter also needs to be examined to see if it will cause additional damage to 'Wizard Equipment'."
"It seems I should put some effort into these two spells and practice them when I have some free time."
"Otherwise, when it really comes to battle, no one will give me enough time to slowly prepare my spells."
After that fleeting thought, Luo Ang's brows furrowed even more deeply, and his entire face practically collapsed.
The time between learning a spell and using it can be quite long—just like the Boiling spell.
Loon has been learning this spell for over a month now.
After he learned the spell, he would cast the Boiling spell twice a day.
Even so, he still needs the help of the bell when he casts the Boiling spell. Without the help of the bell, he would have to fail several times before he could successfully cast the Boiling spell.
Such a level of proficiency is clearly unsuitable for actual combat.
It's easy to imagine how far it is from learning a spell to being able to use it in combat.
You can imagine how many times this must have been practiced.
The Boiling Technique is still in the practice stage.
The Messenger Summoning Technique is still in the learning stage, and its underlying principles haven't even been fully understood yet.
And this acid splashing and missile technique.
And then there's the 'Thunderclap Technique' that has to be performed every day amidst the clouds and mist...
Just thinking about it made Luo Ang's scalp tingle, giving him a feeling of preparing for the college entrance exam in his previous life.
