The Truth of Magic Chapter 258: Intellectual Turban
The Mage Association has no power to limit some widely spread spells, such as invisibility, flying, and other strategically valuable spells, which have long been widely known and cannot be banned from being passed down.
And one of the eight major factions, the "Fuzzy Control" system, involves spells that affect people's hearts, and they are very cautious in teaching.
Because it is possible to change the degree of favorability starting from the first part of "Charming Humans".
Zhao Xu is currently unable to cast the four-ring poet arcane magic, which can force simple control of the actions of "dominance of humanity."
But in the three-ring category, he can already cast the three-ring poet's arcane "second order spell", which can force people to execute orders. Once in the final scroll space, Zhao Xu got the trial of the "fragment of truth", he destroyed a family, and he used the eight-ring "family instruction technique" which was stronger than the six-ring "family instruction technique".
But this time, Zhao Xu didn't want to force Mrs. Betty to do something against her heart. He didn't even want to get lost in the other party and let the other party completely lose consciousness and be controlled by him.
He simply wanted to obtain information on "Frost Dew Town", so he directly used the "suggestion technique" that had been sealed before.
The suggestion spell allows the subject to follow the suggested action throughout the duration of the spell. If the goal is achieved early, the spell's effect will be terminated accordingly.
The only limitation is that this "implied" "requirement" must be reasonable and reasonable. For example, some behaviors that require self-harm will only make the spell directly invalid.
Even if Zhao Xu wants the charming lady Betty to go to bed, the content of the suggestion must also be described reasonably, such as adding the bed to let Zhao Xu help her.
When the subject’s Will saving throw fails, and the spell resistance does not take effect, his own will will be affected by the "suggestion technique", and many original insistences are easy to give up vaguely.
"suggestion" is a poet's second-level spell, and it is also a wizard's third-level arcane spell.
Zhao Xu was able to use the second-ring magic spell at level 4, but he hadn't acted much.
On the one hand, this spell is not effective for players who have been shielded during the year, and on the other hand, he is also cautious about his own behavior.
It’s okay that everyone is a projection now. Once you have passed through and become a real human being, any spell can manipulate humans and dominate others.
This kind of illusory illusion that ordinary people are powerless to resist can easily make people addicted to it. Zhao Xu has also heard many examples of this in his previous life.
Some even end up angering people and forcing local churches to take action against such mages who have fallen into evil.
And Zhao Xu just used the "cover-casting" technique, Zheng Xinyun and Elliton could not see it, they continued to chat with Mrs. Betty without realizing it.
Slowly, Mrs. Betty also began to confide in her next plan.
Ms. Betty’s family is in Frostdew Town, which can be regarded as a powerful family in the town.
She was here to arrange her youngest son to go home, and then she returned to Mystra with the power of the family to compete with her eldest son Harry for the ownership of the Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce.
With a few words, Mrs. Betty also found out that Zhao Xu and the others came to Shuanglu Town to settle a cause and effect for a certain believer.
"Mr. Midsummer, I think your two players are very good, I just have two scrolls here I want to give them, don’t you know it’s appropriate?" Mrs. Betty smiled at Zhao Xu at this time and said The gaze of giving away fell on him.
At this time, Zhao Xu has spread out a book borrowed from the legendary library and is watching it.
Actually, since Mrs. Betty got on the carriage from the beginning, Zhao Xu's performance has been very silent, and he didn't say much.
At this time, his eyebrows were raised slightly, and he said noncommittal: "You should ask them about this."
"That's right, my sister doesn't need these scrolls, and it's better to leave them to you." Then she took out the two magic scrolls from her pocket and passed them to them in turn.
Elliton opened the scroll at this time, and couldn't help but surprise and said: "It's the ‘Power of Bull’ scroll of the second ring."
"Why didn't you just use this scroll?" Elliton asked immediately.
In the situation just now, if it weren't for Zhao Xu's action, it can be said that Mrs. Betty has already been a prisoner at this time.
As for her, she can ignore the predecessors, and use the means instead. It is her personal ability to absorb the cavalry through Zhao Xu's tiger skin.
and Mrs. Betty smiled wryly, "It's because I can't do it."
When Zhao Xu saw this, he explained to the two by the way, "The power of the cow is a minute-level spell, which can increase the strength by 4 points. In theory, it is enough to make melee attacks stronger by two tiers. The power is not Small. It’s just that why didn’t you use the shield scroll in the first place, it’s the same reason."
Elliton then understood.
Using a magic scroll, or someone like Zhao Xu that can cast that spell by itself, using the scroll scroll, it’s all barrier-free.
If a non-caster wants to use the scroll, he needs to have been trained in the skill "using magic devices".
It’s not that difficult in itself to do this.
Just like the knowledge check, the use of a magic device requires the same difficulty as the check to be able to communicate the source of magic and activate its power.
simulates the difficulty of using a scroll, it is 20+ the spell's corresponding caster level.
is like the second-ring scroll caster level 3, then the use of the final skill must exceed the difficulty level of 23, in order to be able to smoothly connect to the source of magic and guide the effect of the scroll.
Even the second-ring magic requires 12 points of perception attribute to cast a spell. If the person who uses the scroll does not have this attribute, he must first use the skills of "Magic Device" to perform "simulation attribute".
Therefore, although the price of the scroll is much cheaper than the magic items that are not difficult to use, such as "staff" and "scepter", most of them are used by the caster themselves, or the rogues with enough skill points. Can barely bet on luck.
This also highlights the preciousness of the eternal wand in Zhao Xu's hand, which uses a fixed amount of two fireballs a day.
In the second-ring spell, there are a series of spells corresponding to the six attributes that can be increased, and they can also increase the enhancement bonus by 4 points.
They are also the source of the current enhanced attribute equipment, so the two cannot be superimposed.
is just that compared to a magical item with an intelligence headscarf that can last for 24 hours, the spell itself lasts for a few minutes, but it is short and meaningless.
Ordinary people really want to experience the pleasure of increasing their attributes by 4 in a short time, but potions are a faster and more convenient channel.
"But if you travel, even if you can't use it, you might as well bring a scroll like ‘Fireball’."
Zhao Xu didn't say the rest.
But the people present can understand what he meant, even if the spell of the power of the bull is blessed on the body of the strongest guard in Mrs. Betty's hands, it is nothing more than that.
A warrior or warrior of a similar level, can he face another fifty cavalry soldiers?
Unless he can raise his own defense to the point where it is difficult to break, there is hope of killing others.
"Sir, scrolls like fireball, unless the masters apply for purchase and buy to learn. Most people want to buy from the association, without a proper reason, it is not easy to achieve." Mrs. Betty explained.
The truth is correct, but Zhao Xu continues to stare at Mrs. Betty at this time, almost doubting the identity of the other party.
Mrs. Betty was just a little surprised. When she reacted, she immediately explained with a smile: "That’s right, the chamber of commerce manages magic scrolls. A few scrolls of'Fireball' are indeed affordable, but these things are all ha Lee can be seen very hard, so when I came out, I only brought along what I had accumulated over the years."
After hearing this, Zhao Xu also roughly understood the current market situation, and directly nodded to express his understanding.
At this time, Mrs. Betty watched Zhao Xu lowered her head to study the book again, and she would not be able to elicit the next request for a while.
Feeling the body temperature from the baby in her arms again, Mrs. Betty thought to herself that she would definitely fight for this foundation for him.
She also ignored the presence of women like Zheng Xinyun in the carriage, as if she felt a little hot, and regardless of the current cold winter, she gently unbuttoned her fur coat to reveal the graceful figure inside.
It was just that she felt a little strange right away, as if she had lost the charm of a mature woman and didn't have any eyes projected.
Zheng Xinyun didn’t squint her eyes. She understood how this young and healthy Elliton, and Mr. Zhongxia, who was the captain of this pastor’s team, were equally uninterested in her figure. , I'm lazy to even take a long look.
Ms. Betty, who has been frustrated from the reel to the moment of her appearance, knows that it is not that Mr. Midsummer is as solid as a rock, but that she did not serve her favor.
After turned her mind for a while, she continued to joke: "There happened to be an auction house in Shuanglu Town these days, which was excavated from a certain mage cemetery. Because it was sensitive, she didn’t dare to put it in Mystra. Go on. Don’t dare to go there in two days, many caring people will rush there."
"I also heard that a +6 intellectual turban seemed to have been unearthed. Unfortunately, several priests and adults don’t need it, otherwise the concubine will definitely pay more attention to it."
Intellectual turban?
Hearing something like this, Zhao Xu's fingers that were about to turn the pages of the book suddenly stopped.
The source of the spell of the intelligence headband is the "Fox's Cunning" spell that increases the intelligence attribute by 4 points.
mastered this spell and the expertise of "Making Wonderful Objects", plus the formula, you can successfully make this "little artifact" that can be called the key props of the mage.
Although Zhao Xu received a full 5 points of intelligence enhancement from the "Prayer Art", coupled with the 1 point attribute obtained from his upgrade, his own intelligence directly increased from 16 points to a full 22 points.
But the intelligence of the wizard has never been too much.
Intelligence determines the difficulty of saving throws, and it also determines the additional spell slots of the wizard.
The first hurdle to stop the Arthur people from becoming a mage is that 10 points of intelligence are not qualified to understand a spell.
To cast a circle of arcane magic, a wizard must have 11 intelligence points. Similarly, a priest Druid has 11 points of perception, and a warlock has 11 points of charm.
When Zhao Xu was 5th level, he went to find out that the magic item "Intellectual Turban" that was publicly sold on the bright side was not seen in the market of Mystra.
"Intellectual Turban" is too popular~IndoMTL.com~ is in short supply in the market.
is like a power belt with a power attribute and a charm cloak with a charm attribute, and it can also be seen in the market from time to time.
Most mages want to obtain the "intelligence turban". One is to make it by themselves. In addition to time-consuming, most people don't have the extra expertise to learn "making strange things".
Another way is to apply for quotas from the association and then queue up.
Relying on the intelligence turban to get extra spell slots, and then sell the obtained spell slots as a spellcasting service. It will definitely pay back in less than a year or a half, so this kind of queuing will basically be carried out manually.
is like the "car lottery" of the big cities on the earth.
Zhao Xu’s current quota allows him to subscribe to the Association for the "+2 Intelligence Headscarf" with a price of 4000 gold coins. If the "Mithril Badge" is added, the grade can be directly upgraded to the "+4 Intelligence Headscarf" worth 16,000 gold coins. ".
It’s just that after Zhao Xu had seen Antinoya’s "+12 Legendary Intelligence Headscarf", he was somewhat unwilling to let him waste his quota and choose the "+4 Intelligence Headscarf".
So he has been waiting for the opportunity, paying attention to the news of the market.
At this moment, hearing Mrs. Betty mention the unearthed "+6 intelligence headscarf", he was immediately interested.
Once he wears the +6 intelligence headscarf, his own intelligence directly soars to 28 points, and basically no player can catch up with his progress before crossing.
Even if it is Arthur Mage, if there is no special way, the advanced mage is at this level.
