Chapter 508: The Closing Magic String
The spherical mechanism at the core of the machine began to glow dim, and its rotation went from high speed to slow, and finally stopped.

Rorschach's figure also stabilized as his magic power stopped being violent.

He appeared with a smile. Caroline frowned: "You are too risky. Although it is very powerful to cast a spell under such conditions, what if you use yourself as the target of the spell and it fails?"

"Well, strictly speaking, I didn't cast a spell at the time. I just verified a phenomenon." Rorschach tried to explain what had just happened and why he couldn't hold back his smile:

"The device developed by the Empire can prohibit the advent of magic power and even miracles. Its basic principle is that high-frequency disordered magic pulses interrupt any process that requires the mobilization of magic power."

“We all know this.”

"But the Imperial researchers and we have overlooked a problem. We have focused too much on magic itself and have not realized that magic will naturally transform the material world. How can a device that stirs up the magic power of the environment not also have an effect on the material world?"

Rorschach captured that little bit of blur in his observation: "In the center of the device, even the existence of entities is not so stable. They are also trembling with the output of the device, and reality has produced subtle confusion. Please allow me to say an unverified theory.
"Everything in the material world has its own frequency and wavelength, which can also be described as waves. However, in the past, these waves were very small. If we regard matter as being distributed in space with a certain probability, in most cases the distribution of probability is very concentrated, giving us a definite position and shape.

"This device has shaken the probability distribution. It makes the probability distribution of magic power extreme, while making the probability distribution of matter more uniform. Although this trend is very, very small, we spellcasters can amplify this tendency.

"By the way, this means that this is an unstable crack in the real world. While preventing the Mother Goddess from invading, it is also opening a window for Her. I hope She doesn't wake up and discover this." People closed a door for the old god and unconsciously opened a window for Him, but it seems that neither side noticed.

Rorschach had experienced this several times before without noticing it. The reason was that the anti-magic devices in the past emitted instantaneous pulses, which achieved their purpose through the first wave of overclocked tsunami and the subsequent short-term magic vacuum. The current "persistent type" finally exposed this special phenomenon.

Andre's brain was as dizzy as when the device was running. Caroline, who had studied time and space, barely followed Rorschach's thoughts: "You mean, the reason you disappeared just now was to disperse the probability of your distribution in space?"

"Yes, this 'self' is, to be precise, the constituent substances of my physical body. What is dispersed are the two elements of momentum and mass. But we are spellcasters, with a powerful soul. I did not dissipate, but broke free from the constraints of my old organs and gained a more wonderful perspective."

In that magical, enhanced version of [Arcane Vision], he lost his perception of matter, but that did not mean that Rorschach became blind. On the contrary, he was now in complete interaction with magic. The base was the dark space, and the magic was materialized as a bright tide.

The tides were not the raging waves imagined. In Rorschach's eyes, their distribution probability was concentrated, arranged in stripes, and rotated alternately with the device as the center. Normally, spellcasters would be helpless in this death vortex, but with the vision and state that were in sync with it, Rorschach felt that it was not impossible to control them.

He started by capturing a "stripe". The magic on the stripe was interfered by Rorschach, changing its spatial position and form, and further concentrated and compressed into a fine thread. He also saw that the two spiritual lights in "Storm and Wind" were the strongest, and he knew it was Caroline and his founding disciple Andre.

Rorschach twisted the thread, separated the two ends and placed them on them. If you make a cross-section of the "thread", you can see that the magic power rushing through it is still frantically casting spells, but manipulating the thread itself seems to be effective and will not be disturbed by other turbulence.

This is how he performed the [Communication] in the forbidden magic device. This was an innovation in casting spells. He still used the vibration frequency of magic power, but Rorschach used the device to polarize the probability of their distribution, further pushing it to the state of a "string", and then plucking it to "play".

Although what was completed was only a simple zero-ring spell, it was the first step taken by Rorschach.

Of course, if he was the only one who could succeed, then this spellcasting would be meaningless.

However, a bold idea entered Rorschach's mind again. It seemed that on the basis of this "anti-magic device", a new magic polarization device could be added. No, it should be a stringing device. In summary, it could be called a "magic weaver"?
If successful, the machine will achieve a very disgusting effect - the old spellcasting system will be ineffective, and it must be completed by plucking the "magic string". The device can also be linked with the tower spirit on the golden tree to achieve more sophisticated background control and assistance.

The assistance of the Golden Tree Tower Spirit should be very important, because Rorschach found this way of casting spells extremely difficult, or it may be that he is not yet proficient in it.

If Rorschach could become more evil, the era of privatization of spellcasting would be just around the corner. In the future, there would be no need for several levels of magic, only VIP 1 and 29 level magicians.

No, no, no. This device cannot cover the entire continent, but it can replace the Empire's plan, from a one-size-fits-all ban on mages casting spells in the city to only allowing mages to cast spells in the city using the new system, and even blacklisting and whitelisting.
If the technology is realized, it will make the most sense for the magic guild.

If Rorschach's idea is implemented and the Magic Guild deploys it in major cities, they will be able to take the initiative on this issue relative to the Empire, and the Guild will take the initiative to operate the device. In addition, Master Kano's dream of a "powerful guild" can be realized in the city first. Most importantly, if the mages are dissatisfied, the Guild can shirk responsibility: Controlling magic is not my wish, it's the Empire that forces me! They didn't want you to cast spells in the city at first, so be content with a compromise!
Well, Rorschach was happy for the Magic Guild.

"Hmm, Mr. Rorschach?" Andre saw that Rorschach had a sinister smile on his face after finishing the first experiment, and he was a little worried that the teacher might have just had an accident and was mentally ill.
"Ah? Oh." Rorschach came out of his fantasy of the future and ordered Martin to distribute energy potions to the mages and apprentices who were in poor condition to calm them down. He shouted, "No one who has not fainted is allowed to leave! No work will be carried out today. You all have to do desensitization training to adapt to the forbidden magic area!" How can we carry out subsequent experiments without desensitization when these people are so desperate as soon as they turn on the computer?

Caroline was still a little suspicious: "Rorschach, what were you thinking just now?"

"I'm wondering if I can use this as a bargaining chip to join the Arcane Senate." Rorschach is now working as hard for the entire guild as the elders, but he does not have an equal position. He also has to ask Master Humboldt to pass on a message to Master Kober, or Rorschach himself has to communicate with Kano and Feuerbach. It's all in the way. What kind of thing is this?
