Magic, essentially, is the power to control nature.
Since the human genius learned to control the power of nature 13,000 years ago, the application of magic by humans has become increasingly frequent. The essence of magic has been thoroughly analyzed by many scholars, and various elements of the power of nature have also been precisely classified.
In simple terms, magical elements are divided into seven categories: water, fire, electricity, earth, wind, darkness, light, and space.
These are the Seven Elements of Magic.
Of course, the nature that encompasses all things does not only include these elements. Therefore, these seven elements are also called the basic elements. And through the interaction of the basic elements, brand-new magical elements can also be generated.
For example, when the element of water and the element of wind are combined, the "ice element" will be formed. When the element of water and the element of earth are combined, the "wood element" or the "swamp element" can be formed. When the element of earth and the element of fire are fused, it will become the "molten slurry element"...
It is said that if these seven elements can be completely integrated, the "elements of time" that split the sky will be formed.
In the 13,000 years since the birth of magic, only the original genius of the human race has successfully released the time magic once, defeating the terrifying invaders from the north of the continent. But this is just a legend. Whether the seven magical elements can be fused has always been a matter of debate and doubt among magic scholars in modern times.
Among the seven magical elements, water, fire, electricity, earth and wind are the most fundamental of the fundamental and also the magical elements that junior mages must master. Among the five magical characters that junior mages must master, there is one that is specifically responsible for deconstructing these five magical elements.
As for the three magical elements of space, darkness and light, they are relatively much more difficult.
During the three months in the small dark room, Stephen, through continuous experiments, mastered a total of eighteen magical characters. Adding the five he had originally learned, he now has a total of twenty-three magical characters. There are still nine magical characters he has not mastered, and those nine magical characters are related to the three magical elements of space, darkness, and light. These three are too profound. So much so that neither the elements themselves nor the magical characters related to them can be easily comprehended.
Of course, to fully understand these three magical elements is something that only advanced magicians need to master.
Only advanced magicians can use the spatial magic matrix.
Only advanced magicians can make magical items like the Space Ring.
But to open the master recognition limit in the Space ring, one doesn't necessarily have to be a high-level magician - at least, Stephen doesn't think he can't open the door in the ring.
The master recognition restriction in the ring is like an electronic door that can only be opened with a password. The master recognition restriction system is a complex magic matrix, much like a computer system. If I want to enter the door, I have to break the operating rules of this computer system and infer the password of the electronic door. If I directly use brute force to crack it, this computer system will be destroyed. The Space ring will also cease to exist...
Stephen, following the computer theory of his previous life, was exploring how to invade the space ring in his hand. As a peak hacker, isn't it an easy thing to break a space ring? However... Facts, however, prove that this is really not an easy thing.
When Stephen came out of the room the next day with a pair of dark panda eyes, he felt extremely helpless. Many of the magic matrices for recognizing the master of the Space ring were set based on the Space matrix, and many of the magic characters in the space matrix were those nine magic characters that Stephen had not mastered at all, wanting to crack the master recognition system. It's as difficult as Stephen's attempt to break the banking system after just learning a little bit of programming languages. In many places, it can't be completely feasible just by experience.
It seems that to break this space ring, one must first master the remaining nine magic characters. Stephen thought so in his somewhat tired heart.
"Hammerhead, what's wrong with you?" In the small courtyard, Debbie had just finished a round of the huge sword dance. Seeing that Stephen was not feeling well, she hurriedly asked in surprise, "This girl used to like sleeping in, but in the past three months, she has developed the habit of getting up early to practice swordsmanship."
I had a bit of insomnia last night... Stephen shook his head, went to the well, fetched a basin of water with the magic automatic pump and washed his face. When he turned to look at Debbie, he asked with a smile, "What would you like for breakfast?"
"Stop cooking. I'll just make some porridge later. You'd better have a good rest today." Debbie said with a hint of concern on her face.
It's okay. I just didn't sleep well at night. Stephen shook his head and walked into the kitchen. His voice came from inside the kitchen, "I'll come out for another door later."
"Go out?" Debbie became nervous at once. "What are you going to do?"
"Go to the Magic guild." Stephen replied, "My wand was burned by Busca. Without a wand, I can do nothing. I have to go to the Magic guild and get a new one."
"Oh, then I'll go with you later." Debbie hurriedly smiled and said that her hammer had suddenly come back yesterday. Of course, she felt indescribable happiness and joy in her heart, but at the same time, she was a little worried, fearing that Hammer would suddenly disappear and only send back a note saying that he needed to maintain world peace. So she decided to stay by Hammer's side at her home all the time from now on.
Stephen had already begun to cook skillfully. When he thought of something again, his voice continued to come out: "Oh, by the way, we'll have to go to Carla's Magic Bookstore later. I need to buy a few books."
Hearing that Stephen was going to buy books, Debbie obviously thought of those two magic language books and became nervous immediately: "Buying books again?" What books are you going to buy?
The little girl still remembers vividly the last time she was cheated out of nine gold coins.
"About enchantment." Stephen thought of the long sword that Efia had given him.
"Enchantment?" Debbie also thought of the long sword Stephen brought back yesterday. "Hammerhead, I was about to ask you, why did you bring back Efia's long sword yesterday? It seems my dad doesn't understand enchantry at all. How could you understand this?"
"I don't understand." Stephen said matter-of-fact, "That's why I went to buy a few books to study on the spot."
Debbie: "..."
Enchantment, a forging technique that only dwarves and mages can use and is extremely profound, how could Stephen still plan to learn it right now?
"But Hammer Head, it seems that enchantment is very difficult." Debbie said carefully.
How difficult could it be? Stephen said with a carefree look on his face, "There is nothing that students with excellent grades can't learn in their world!"
After being imprisoned for three months, Stephen mastered eighteen magical characters through his own exploration and even created a set of magical armor to kill the four people who imprisoned him. So now, Stephen feels that as an outstanding student, there is no problem at all...
