Chapter 730: Seeking Knowledge: Believers Have Broad Thoughts

The discovery of the "discrete arcane phenomenon" was a coincidence.

If it weren't for Yaan's brilliant idea, people would never consider what would happen if the charging array became unstable.

The reason is very simple.

Magic is a rare and expensive thing.

The same is true for the magic circles created by spellcasters.

Even wealthy businessmen and nobles, when hiring a wizard, wanted the wizard to set up a magic circle that was easy to use and durable enough for them.

If the charging array becomes unstable, it will be troublesome, because it means that other arrays that rely on the charging array for power will become ineffective.

In this situation, people's first reaction is to find a powerful wizard to fix it.

Therefore, even though magic was something that was natural to everyone, they had never considered using the "unstable charging array".

Yaan is a weirdo.

As he fiddled with it, he discovered the strange "discrete arcane phenomenon".

Discovery alone is not enough.

If the God of Knowledge and the Temple of Truth did not exist, Yan's discovery might only be known to him, or at most spread within a very small range.

do not forget.

Yaan used to have a huge debt of more than 500 gold coins.

Normally, he wouldn't be able to pay off the debt even if he worked illegally for the magic scroll shop for his entire life.

In that case, he probably wouldn't have the time to think about or tinker with any charging array.

After all, this phenomenon doesn't seem to have any value.

But the system that Nowen taught the believers, which used the dissipated arcane energy to connect to the magic network to complete spellcasting, made Yaan and even more people who saw the topic post in the Temple of Truth think about it as a matter of course.

The escaping arcane energy is not without value.

It can also be used to cast spells.

And this has nothing to do with the magic network, and theoretically speaking, it has nothing to do with the goddess of magic.

As long as one understands this knowledge and is someone who can sense the dissipated arcane energy, he can use the dissipated arcane energy as a medium to connect to the magic network and cast spells.

Just like the method that Nowen gave to the believers at the beginning.

The function of the scattered arcane energy is a "key".

It's like a key!
The key to mobilize the magic network!
It doesn’t matter who uses the key, what matters is that the key itself can mobilize the magic network!
After Yaan discovered the "Discrete Arcana".

As more discussants brainstormed, Nicole further pushed her observations of the phenomenon.

Countess Ceylon summarized the phenomenon of discrete arcane more accurately.

In multiples of 2, the stability increases sharply.

The believers soon found a way to enable the charging array to be activated at a "high frequency" even without a mage's control:

You just need to place the magic crystal into the charging array at a wrong angle, and it will immediately try to "reset" itself and shift to the correct position, because only in this way can it successfully activate the charging array.

Do the opposite.

Some believers in seeking knowledge deliberately take advantage of this feature. When the charging array is successfully activated by the magic crystal's "resettlement", the magic array of "activation tool" connected to it will be briefly activated for a moment.

The affected "tool" will immediately push the magic crystal in the charging array, causing the placement angle of the magic crystal to shift again.

The charging array failed.

The activated tool array also becomes ineffective without the supply of arcane energy.

Utilizing the torsion spring principle of the crossbow, the tool is instantly reset.

The whole process forms a closed loop!

A high-frequency charging magic circle that can be turned on and run without any intervention from a mage is complete!
The efficiency of the "reset process" will vary depending on the insertion angle and size of the magic crystal.

More importantly - because the magic circle of the activation tool connected to the charging circle will only be activated in a fleeting manner, there is no need to worry about the problem of "instability" because it will not have time to stabilize!

Just right for completing the "resetting" of the magic crystal!
The entire system is completely independent of the "caster"!

After joint observation, summary and heated discussion among the seekers of knowledge.

Finally, in his magic supply store, Yaan successfully used four unstable high-frequency charging arrays to release an [Arcane Missiles] magic out of thin air without a corresponding [Arcane Missiles] magic array and without the guidance of a wizard.

Although this magic could not lock onto any target because there was no wizard to guide it, it broke Yaan's window after it was released. Yaan was fined 50 destiny points for violating the "Safe Area Spellcasting Control Regulations" of the Western Territory.

But none of this can change a momentous event worth remembering:
The first "discrete arcane magic" in history - was born!

……

With the first one, there will be the second, third, fourth, and fifth.

The theoretical feasibility was successfully verified by Yaan.

After seeing the topic post posted by Yaan, some other people tried to reproduce it, while others turned their attention to other magic.

First, they temporarily ruled out magic like [Arcane Missiles].

The magic, which is performed automatically without any human caster and entirely by discrete arcane energy, cannot be corrected by itself.

Until the calibration issues are resolved, the effects of these magics are completely uncontrollable.

In comparison, magic such as [Weight Loss], [Slow Fall], etc. that are effective in a certain area or have an effect on the nearest object by default seem much more suitable!
One after another, discrete arcane magic that can be stably "produced" based on high-frequency charging arrays appeared.

The ideas of believers seeking knowledge are quite broad.

Among Nowen's believers, the proportion of wizards has always been high. If we leave out the dwarf believers, at least half of the human believers are pure wizards, and more than 9% have learned simple magic.

With so many wizards gathered together and inspired by the previous construction of Dawn City, ideas popped up one after another.

"Eh? If we combine discrete arcane magic with some things in life, then... everyone can have abilities similar to those of a mage?"

The person who first came up with this idea was a man from a carriage business.

With the help of Yaan, he completed the first "horseless carriage".

The carefully adjusted high-frequency charging magic array continuously released magic such as [Shock Absorption], [Slow Falling], and [Weight Reduction] towards the carriage;

When it needs power, the driver only needs to pull a rod on the "driving console" and the magic crystal prepared in advance will be mistakenly inserted into the charging array.

Another set of high-frequency activations, the [Resistance Field] magic began to be released repeatedly!
The effect of this magic is to push away enemies that are close to the mage.

From another angle, if used in reverse, it can also be used to provide thrust for the "carriage"!
"So, a horseless carriage is a reasonable thing now, isn't it?"

Nicole smiled sweetly and ended her story to Pete and the others.
