Chapter 40 The Principle of Magic and the Way Forward  

As we all know, even in the era when everyone used a computer, only professional programmers understood programming languages.

The same is true of ancient Rune. In the wizarding world, only a small number of wizards can understand the principle of ancient Rune. Other wizards cannot learn complex ancient Rune, let alone use ancient Rune to cast spells.

However, even for a genius wizard who has learned ancient runes, it is very tedious to use ancient runes to cast spells. Even the strongest programmer can't send emails in a short period of time from a computer without any applications - he has to spend time writing the corresponding programs.

As a result, wizards who know ancient runes further combine and package ancient runes, simplifying them into spells - just like programmers edit programs and package them. Ordinary people can use the program with a mouse click, while ordinary wizards can use the program. Magic can be used simply by chanting the spell as required.

Ordinary spells, like packaged programs, cannot be further edited and combined. However, as long as you can learn ancient runes well, you can become a "programmer" among wizards, understand the principles of spells, and be able to create magical items or create new magic.

Through research, Jack discovered the essence of magic to a certain extent.

Assuming that the original physical rules of the universe are materialistic and follow logic, then the rules of magic are idealistic and anti-logical.

The difference between the two is that magic has a "purpose", but the rules of physics have no "purpose".

Whether there is "purpose" is the difference between "subjective" and "objective".

This is like a spell, "Fluorescent Flickering". From the perspective of physical rules, this is just a combination of sound waves or ink molecules. The difference between it and "Apparition" and "Shenfeng Wuying" is only in the arrangement. However, in subjects with "purpose", such as literature, the difference between these words is not only in spelling, but in subjective meanings, which are given by "people".

The same is true in magic, where the meaning of these spells is subjective and given by the rules of magic, so when the "rule" itself is subjective and purposeful, then it can be proven - either the rule is " Man" rather than naturally formed; or it can be proved that the system in which this rule exists, that is, the world, is not materialistic in itself, but ideal.

The controlling variables of physical rules do not work in all situations in magic.

Having said so much, in fact, it mainly expressed Jack's understanding of magic in "Harry Potter", and also revealed Jack's plans for his future.

That is, through the study of magic, to master the principles of magic, and then master the real laws.

This is Jack's plan for his path to becoming a strong man.

He has the talent of infinite progress, infinitely stronger, the talent of time and space, and the strong learning ability.

Originally, he could have specialized in physique cultivation.

Since he can make unlimited progress, as long as he focuses on this, he can become a warrior and a strong physique like Mr. Saitama or the protagonists in Dragon Ball.

He can also constantly explore his time and space talents, specialize in the two, take the power route, and eventually become a big man who can master the laws of time and space.

But out of his own interest and curiosity, Jack still embarked on the path of the mage - the most difficult path.

Unlike warriors, mages can do battles that don't require too much thinking, punch to the flesh, and fight with blood. The battle of the mage is all calculation, and the power of the mage all comes from knowledge.

Mage does not use talent to control elements, modify material, control spirit, and use his own abilities like an arm. If the psychic manipulates reality through the mouse, controller and touch screen, the mage will

It is to transform the world in the most complex way through code and keyboard.

However, the Mage is the most powerful, because he is a researcher - only the Mage can understand the reality of the world, and can browse the texture of the rules.

Mages are also creators - although Mages can cause destruction like warriors and power users, only Mages can truly create. They study the rules and use them to transform the world.

In the past life, whether reading novels, comics or playing games, Jack's favorite character was always the mage, and he disdained warriors, priests, etc. The former is a mindless savage, who can only cause destruction, but cannot create value; the latter is a licking dog of the gods, an unthinking fanatic who relies on the gifts of others to make a fortune.

And in this life, he finally almost became a real mage, and he already had the talent to become the strongest mage.

It is never magic that hinders the progress of the mage, but intelligence.

There is a limit to a person's ability to learn and remember, and this limit is the biggest shackle that restricts the progress of the Master.

The more knowledge one has, the more time it takes to review, and the slower the learning progress.

Because of this, mages have to choose a specialization, just like in a university, ordinary people can only choose one major - those who choose a minor and a double degree are all academic masters.

Even in the dnd world where magic is prosperous, in order to go further, the top mages either turn to the god of magic and become the chosen people of the gods; or they find a way to light the fire and hold the throne high; or they change their bloodlines and become lich, spirit Creatures with higher intelligence such as suckers, brain demons, etc.

Don't you see the dnd plane, the greatest human arcanist in the world of Toril, Eorem, the founder of the Netheril magic empire, and finally transformed himself into an elder master brain Lich (Illid monster boss + Lich) .

But Jack is different. His ability to learn and his talent for infinite progress allow him to dabble in a wide range of learning and memory.

Ultimately, he believes that he can fully grasp the rules of the world through the study of all kinds of magic.

By then, he will be able to surpass everything by intelligence alone.
