Ron looked intently at the magic wand in his hand.
Just holding it in his hand, Ron felt an amazing feeling. As if nothing in this world can replace it. Simply holding it in your hands, the surrounding natural elements seem clearer.
The magic pearl, shining with a soft colorful color, gives a feeling of constant flow of soft energy.
"Ordinary wand... is it just an ordinary magic wand?"
After a while, Ron came to his senses and couldn't help but mutter. If this wand in the hand is just ordinary, how will it feel more upscale?
Ron found it hard to imagine, he was already eager to try this stick, looked at the sea in front and gently waved.
Buzzing!
This time the rune was formed not in the spiritual world, instead inside the magic pearl at the top of the wand, there was a clear rune.
Immediately after that, the wind blade almost instantly condensed into the air and flew towards the sea.
"it's..."
Ron couldn't help but be surprised. How long has it been? Half a second? A quarter of a second?
No!
Even faster!
Moments after the thought appears, the rune begins to thicken inside the pearl and the wind blade appears. The whole process lasted about one tenth of a second!
Does this wand reduce the time it takes to release magic? No, it's not a cut!... it is better to say that the time of release of the wind blade is gone, almost turned into instant magic!
And what surprises Ron even more, after the release of this wind blade, his spiritual strength is exhausted minimally. Even less than a fifth of the previous consumption!
Do you call it a decrease in the consumption of spiritual power?
Where you have seen a decline in consumption, you become an eternal engine! Understand? Basic restoration of spiritual strength practically offsets the cost of the wind blade!
Ron sluggishly glanced at the stick in his hand: "A magician without a stick, you can say not a full-fledged magician..."
Ron's been thinking about this before. His spiritual characteristic exceeded 30 units, the speed of thinking and reaction is many times higher than that of the average person, but the delay due to the formation of the rune and the condensation of magic, hardly allow him to fully realize the advantage of his reaction....
If someone can still shorten the distance during the battle, this delay will be fatal...
And one more limitation. Even if it would have reached an almost instantaneous rate of rune formation, but the depletion of spiritual power makes it incapable of continuous caste spells. Even during training, you need to constantly interrupt for meditation. The training took an hour, but only ten minutes of full training. Efficiency is terrible.
But now Ron understood. All this time he lacked a magic wand. It was a critical flaw, the absence of the main and most important tool of the magician!
"Now I can really consider myself a full-fledged magician."
Unsurprisingly, he had previously suffered in more complex areas.
Before that, Ron was still trying to maximize the effectiveness of the workout and focus on studying the derivative sands. Now it seems that when trying to explore derivative runes without a stick, the time spent increases exponentially.
Ron gently swung the wand.
Fireball.
Multiple wind blade.
Multiple fireball.
One by one, the magic was released by Ron and fell into the sea.
"The rate of release of the magic of the 1st order has decreased to almost instantaneous, consumption is one tenth of the previous one."
"The speed of release of the reinforced magic of the 1st order is now less than half a second. Consumption has fallen to one-fifth of the previous one."
After several uses and a fuller understanding of the effect of the wand, Ron grinned bitterly. He understood why he used to feel so uncomfortable.
Why should the release of just a few spells deplete the magician? Why should a magician be afraid of the tactics of the human wave? On the contrary, a real magician should give the enemy a huge headache, when using such tactics.
"For the enhanced magic of the 1st order effect is reduced, most likely for the magic of the 2nd order the effect will be reduced even more, it will not get such a huge reduction in speed and consumption."
Ron continued to test the wand and made several judgments.
There's another good point. Ron chuckled looking at the sea.
Before, he even wondered whether he should do something to strengthen the body. After all, in the case of a sudden reduction of the distance or a simple exhaustion of spiritual power in the middle of a battle, the situation will be too deplorable.
Now it seems the magician can discard this undeniably stupid idea.
The spirit of the lord of everything!
With the current speed of reaction and the speed of release, he is not even afraid to enter into a melee. Not to mention the fact that getting closer to it is a very difficult task. If you later master protective or spatial magic, what is the significance of a weak body?
Powerful enough spirit to crush everything, no flaws, no dead corner!
That's what a true magician should be!
...
Somewhere on the beach.
Ron sits and looks at the rock in front.
"so..."
He easily waved a wand in his hand, in the pearl appeared lines, quickly thickening into a pattern of runes.
Bach!
The rune pattern has collapsed again.
Ron thought it out and again held out the magic wand. Another pattern was formed, it changed only one line.
Bach!
Another setback.
Ron was not upset and continued his attempts.
Earlier, after several such attempts, his spiritual strength was depleted, and it took a decent time to recover. But now with a magic wand, the formation of one array consumes only a tenth of the past.
At the same time, it is slowly fueled by the basic restoration of spiritual strength. As a result, there is a minimum consumption. You can make a lot more attempts in a row.
Within a few hours of training, Ron confirmed one of his judgments. The main rune area should not change.
The main area is about a third of the entire rune. Determining that the main area does not exactly need change, Ron is left to explore only two-thirds of the outer area.
At the moment, Ron can only use one method, trial and error.
He believes that there should be a more rational way to study runes derivatives, but he simply does not have enough experience and knowledge. It remains only the most archaic way, time after time to change the rune and try every opportunity.
Thanks to the magic wand, the formation of one rune consumes a little spiritual strength and the effectiveness of Ron's training is not comparable to the past. A dozen tries a minute.
Complete exhaustion of spiritual power will take at least half an hour. Then we still have to rely on meditation.
Half a day has passed, Ron has already tried thousands of combinations. The derivative rune has not yet been obtained.
Ron's not upset. His training became even more effective than he had hoped. You just have to keep trying. Sooner or later he will make the necessary changes.
One day...
Two days...
Three days...
On the fourth day.
In four days and tens of thousands of combinations, Ron finally managed to study the first derivative rune of wind magic!
At the time of completion of the formation, the rune no longer falls apart, does not disappear as before. Instead, it shone, from all directions blew out the sea breeze and formed a small vortex hurricane.
