024 Shelf life of spell scrolls

"That's a spell scroll!" The old priest standing with Lin Jia explained: "That's a spell item developed by the casters because they have extremely limited 'spoke positions' that can be used every day!"

"Can the caster also create scrolls? I'm talking about it!" Lin Jia suddenly realized that he suspected that the caster profession was a useless profession due to the limitation of the spell position. What's the use of a spell caster who can only put a few spells every day? If the spell position is exhausted at critical moments, wouldn't the caster become a waste?

After the old priest's explanation, he realized that under normal circumstances, the spells that an ordinary spell caster can cast every day are arranged from low to high according to his level:

primary:

At the time of level zero profession [apprenticeship]: 3 in level 0,

When you are in the first level of profession: 3 in level 0, 1 in level 1,

intermediate:

When you are in the second level of profession: 4 in level 0, 2 in level 1,

When you are in the third level of profession: 4 in Level 0, 2 in Level 1, 1 in Level 2,

advanced:

When you are in the fourth level of profession: 5 in level 0, 3 in level 1, 2 in level 2,

When you are in the fifth level of profession: 5 in level 0, 3 in level 1, 2 in level 2, 1 in level 3,

Advanced career:

During the sixth level profession: 5 in Level 0, 3 in Level 1, 3 in Level 2, 2 in Level 3,

At the seventh level of profession: 6 in Level 0, 4 in Level 1, 3 in Level 2, 2 in Level 3, 1 in Level 4,

Elite careers:

At the eighth level profession: 6 in Level 0, 4 in Level 1, 3 in Level 2, 3 in Level 3, 2 in Level 4,

At the ninth level profession: 6 in Level 0, 4 in Level 1, 4 in Level 2, 3 in Level 3, 2 in Level 4, 1 in Level 5

A brief introduction in the later period......

And so on, the higher the level of spells, the fewer the number of spells that can be cast per day. Usually, only one spell can be cast per day. The "number" of spells that the caster can cast per day is called the "spell position"!

Since the caster's daily energy value cannot be accumulated and superimposed, it will be wasted if it is not consumed. This is like a person's physical strength. Suppose a person's physical strength can run 100,000 meters per day, if he doesn't run today, will he run 200,000 meters tomorrow? Obviously it is impossible.

Many spellcasters are not in a dangerous environment where spells need to be used every day, so after countless years of research, spellcasters have developed a way to increase the spell positions they master every day, that is, "scroll"!

During the period when there is no need to use spells, the energy value that can be accumulated every day but not consumed is then "save" by the caster. By using special means, the spell seals the spells on the magic beast skin that can carry spell energy and creates a "spell scroll" to save them. When needed, take them out and unseal them.

Since the "scroll technique" method of creating reels has been promoted, spellcasters will save their remaining energy value through the method of creating spell scrolls when needed, as a combat power that can be relied on when taking risks.

"Then why not just make all the 'energy' into scrolls, and just take them out when needed!?" Lin Jia asked in confusion, and the old priest smiled bitterly. Making the scrolls not only honed its understanding and proficiency of spells, but also saved additional spells the next day, so why not do it?

But the reason why no one did this is that the cost of creating a reel first is quite amazing. Even if you are creating a level 0 spell scroll, the material cost is relatively expensive, let alone advanced spell scrolls.

A large amount of expensive spell casting materials and magical beast skins carrying spells require a lot of money to consume, so the spellcaster profession is a money-burning business, which again limits their number to not too much. Not everyone with the talent of spellcaster has the ability to bear the huge expenses.

Secondly, the power and effect of spells released by the caster themselves and those sealed in the magic animal skin are completely different. After all, in the process of sealing spells, the "energy" injected by the caster will be partially lost. Moreover, even if the sealed spells are placed for longer, the worse their power and effect will be. Therefore, in general, the scroll also has a "shelf life", and no one will spend money to make a large number of scrolls to put.

On the Star Continent, there are some spellcasters who rarely go out to take risks and sell scrolls. Some spellcasters apprentices will make scrolls and sell them to others in exchange for funds for continued study and research. However, because there is a chance of failure in making scrolls, it is actually not cost-effective.

To be honest, Lin Jia has never figured out the limitations of spell casting among the spellcasters in this world, such as "spell position", "energy", etc., which made him confused. Originally, he thought that if the old priest, a second-level priest, could use 4 level 0 magic and 2 level 1 magic every day, he would not use spells all day. At around 12 o'clock in the evening, does it mean that he could release 8 level 0 magic and 4 level 1 magic in succession? But now after listening to the old priest's explanation, he found that it was not the case at all.

Based on Lin Jia's rich experience in major online games over the years, he used his own methods to understand the spell rules of this world.

"Spell Position" can be regarded as a skill shortcut key in the game. You can set three of the many skills to f1, f2, f3, and then press the keys of f1, f2, and f3 directly to release these three spells.

The process of the caster in this world having to prepare spells in advance should be understood as the process of setting shortcut keys. You must set it first before you can use it at any time. If you want to use it, it will probably be too late.

The so-called "energy" probably means similar to the "mp, magic value, energy" in online games, but there is no so-called "magic medicine" to be used in this world. It can only be saved and restored by the caster himself. Once it is used up, he can only wait for his energy to recover before he can use it again.
