I, a cultivator, have ended up in the wizarding world.

Chapter 62 Difficulties
"Detective magic is divided into two types: blessing type and detection type..."

There's not much need for special research on the blessed type, since repeated blessing doesn't increase its effectiveness; just buy a few more corresponding magical artifacts.

The focus is on detective witchcraft.

"Most conventional detection-type reconnaissance spells work similarly to radar, returning a result each time they are used. Although the cost is very small, they do create gaps in the detection process."

While there are spells that can continuously release feedback results, compared to other spells of the same level, these spells have a much smaller effective range than detection-type reconnaissance spells that release feedback results all at once.

"This problem is solvable for me, but I can't handle another, more important problem."

Besides the issue of mental energy consumption, the most important aspect of reconnaissance magic is the wizard's information processing ability.

His talismanic artifacts were created based on the cultivation system's high-intensity absorption of external energy; they only needed to be activated and consumed very little energy.

If the detection ability is solidified in the rune artifact, the detection spell can be released continuously without worrying about consumption.

However, even if a talisman artifact were created using this method, the effect of using it would not be much different from that of an ordinary wizard casting spells, because his information processing ability could not keep up.

Too much information can impair thinking and even block one's thought process.

If he uses the talismanic artifacts to cast reconnaissance spells too frequently, Jemin will eventually destroy himself without the enemy even having to lift a finger.

This is why most exploratory witchcraft spells are designed to be a one-time effect rather than a continuous buff.

Given the wizards' research capabilities, it would be quite easy for them to develop a reconnaissance spell with the same range as a single-use reconnaissance spell of the same level, and one that can be used continuously, but it would be meaningless.

Wizards have limited information processing capabilities. Although their computing power increases rapidly with their level, the effective range of different levels of detection-type reconnaissance magic also increases exponentially, and the amount of feedback information grows even more dramatically.

To transform a detection-type scouting spell into a continuously cast effect, the detection range must be narrowed to reduce the amount of real-time feedback information.

In the past, people used computers to assist with radar detection, but most wizards in this world can only process information with their own brains and souls.

"...Huh? Now that you mention it, what if we created a computer-like auxiliary device to help process information?"

A sudden inspiration struck Jemin, and he activated the magic network to search it.

And the search results... well, how should I put it?

It's quite subtle.

The wizarding civilization does indeed have similar things, and they are all at a very high level.

Whether it's an artificial soul, runic artificial intelligence, or a living being that combines the advantages of both, all have the ability to assist in calculations.

The downside is... these things are too high-end!

There are two main problems.

One is the difficulty of production.

Artificial souls go without saying; this is the pinnacle of alchemy, and anyone below level six can't even begin to access it.

The difficulty of the Living Spirits and Rune AI is slightly lower, but only "slightly" lower.

The difficulty of creating rune AI is not much different from creating the AI ​​of the previous life, and may even be higher.

From algorithmic logic to response mechanisms and rune program compilation, each one is enough to take you from beginner to expert.

As we all know, some things you either know or you don't.

The wizards' training only improves their "hardware" skills, such as computing power and thinking speed; their "software" skills, such as logical thinking, remain completely unaffected. Just like how, no matter how powerful a supercomputer is, only humans can solve mathematical problems.

As for the "living spirit" technology, to put it nicely, it combines the advantages of runic artificial intelligence and artificial souls.

The problem is that this thing is difficult to make, combining the difficulties of both.

"With my current abilities, it's almost impossible to create a support character with my bare hands..."

Even if you buy the complete production method directly, it would take an unimaginable amount of time to fully understand it and completely manufacture it.

Instead of wasting that time, Jemin would be better off improving his own hard skills.

Only when his power reaches a certain bottleneck and requires a sufficiently long period of time to mature will he be able to turn back to study these things.

"The choice between increasing strength and growing knowledge? Worlds with extraordinary powers are prone to this kind of trouble..."

Another issue is adaptability.

Similar to the spatial ring, most of these man-made artifacts can only be used in one or a few specific planes. Once they arrive in a new plane, they may become ineffective due to differences in rules or certain constants.

The solution is the same as with the spatial ring: "just" find a level 6 wizard to help fix the rules.

"After going around in circles, the problem has come full circle."

Jemin scratched his head, thought for a moment, and then his consciousness sank into the depths of his soul to see if there was any solution to his cheat ability.

A moment later, Jemin opened his eyes with a frown:

"This matter is more complicated than I imagined..."

The Great Dao Library also provided many solutions, such as controlling souls or creating spirit arrays.

But the problem is similar to that in the Wizarding World—the power level is too low to do it.

For something as simple as manipulating the soul, if you want the soul to assist in calculations, you can't be as crude as when you forged the Myriad Soul Banner. Instead, you must preserve the soul as completely as possible.

For cultivators with low cultivation levels, even preserving their soul intact is a challenge.

"There is a solution, but I can't implement it with my current strength. It seems... I need to improve my cultivation."

While the idea of ​​enhancing detection-type reconnaissance magic is not feasible for the time being, we can first create reconnaissance rune artifacts.

For the next period of time, Jemin used the magic network to purchase knowledge of runes, alchemy, materials science, planarism, and perception magic, absorbing it voraciously.

However, even the research on simple reconnaissance-type talismanic artifacts has not been smooth sailing.

Detection runes are far more sophisticated and complex than attack or movement runes.

How can a talismanic artifact be made to "see" things instead of simply releasing energy?

How can we ensure that the information it "sees" is transmitted back to us?
How can we ensure that it does not emit energy fluctuations that are easily detected by enemies while it is in operation?

Jemin attempted to design various rune combinations, but he soon discovered that many detection runes in the wizarding system were based on the extension of the spellcaster's mental power.

Implanting this mechanism directly into external magical artifacts often results in a significantly reduced effect, or the consumption remains enormous.

Therefore, many reconnaissance artifacts only have effects similar to enhanced vision or life vision, or they can project light and shadow onto the target area in an alternative way, rather than directly releasing reconnaissance magic.
