Lord of the Mysteries 2: Circle of Inevitability

Lumian looked at the spiritual creature that he couldn't see at all, thought about it and said:

“How complex can the most complicated thing be, and how powerful can the most powerful thing be?”

Haha, I thought you were going to ask how to summon and perform ritual magic, but you ended up wanting to know how to use it! Aurore then joked, This may be the characteristic of the 'Hunter' path, which does not require a thorough understanding. Principle, just consider how to use it.”

Without waiting for Lumian to answer, she considered it and said:

I've tried it. It can't be too complicated, which means it can only complete one action. It can't be too powerful, which means it can't exceed the measurement of one spell of 'Wizard', Sequence 7, of 'Peeper'.

It's good to talk to Aurore about these things. She has the habit of analyzing things qualitatively and quantitatively, unlike some people who like to describe things in vague and half-hidden words... Lumian was quite emotional when he heard this.

While thinking, he got up and helped his sister put all the food on the table, and then asked while eating:

But I remember that your spells often use materials. I can't carry 'white paper', right?

Yes, this is very embarrassing. Aurore forked a piece of fried trout and stuffed it into his mouth. After chewing and swallowing, he said, Besides, the wizard's spells cannot be completed in one action. The simplest one requires three steps. The first is to concentrate spirituality, the second is to outline the symbols of the corresponding spells in the mind, which can also be replaced by reciting mantras aloud, and the third is to use materials to cast spells. Some materials function as media, and some serve as spell components. part.

This does sound a bit complicated, and it's not like what the single-celled creature blank slate can accomplish... Lumian feels that he won't be able to do it for a while, and must go through a long period of training before he can skillfully cast spells.

Aurore raised her eyes and glanced at him:

Don't think about it, you can't be like me. Firstly, your sequence is limited and your spirituality is insufficient. Secondly, using materials to help cast spells is a unique ability that only 'wizards' have. Well, maybe a certain sequence in some ways can also Yes, I don't know enough to make a definite judgment.

However, when a 'Hunter' reaches Sequence 7, that is, when he becomes an 'Arsonist', he can use a lot of fire-related spells, and there is no need for materials, no need to outline symbols in his mind or recite incantations, and then he can actually fight. In other words, this is faster, more convenient, and maybe even more powerful. As a 'wizard', the main thing is to be more comprehensive. The more knowledge you have, the more comprehensive and powerful you will be.

Lumian said with great expectation:

I don't know when I will become an 'arsonist'...

He planned to explore the ruins of the dream again tonight, firstly to use the act of ‘hunting’ to help digest the potion, and secondly to look for clues to the main material of the Sequence 8 “Provocateur”.

As for the monsters corresponding to the Arsonist, he didn't dare to think about it for the time being, thinking that they would be sent to his door for barbecue. After all, those guys would definitely be able to attack from a distance, making it impossible for him to use his specialness.

He went on to say:

The spell of 'Arsonist' seems to have only one action. Can the 'white paper' carry it?

Theoretically, it's possible, but I'm not sure if the 'arsonist's' spells have more than one measure. Aurore's standard of reference is wizard.

Hearing this, Lumian was excited:

If I can, then can I simulate the floating cannon that my sister told me about?

Huh? Aurore was a little confused for a moment.

Lumian explained in detail:

I can summon a group of 'white papers', sign a contract with them, and then let each 'white paper' carry a fireball. When the time comes, they will float in mid-air and attack the target together. This is not the same as the description of the floating cannon. Is it similar?

It's a pity that you can't have a group of 'white papers' at the same time. Aurore laughed and said, After you sign a contract with a 'white paper', even if you summon it with the original description next time, the same white paper will come. Paper.

Can you summon one first, without signing a contract for the time being, and then summon another one, until you have summoned a satisfactory number, and then sign the contract together? Lumian did not receive an orthodox education, but Aurore added his own ideas. Personal customization, coupled with so many years of tempering in pranks, the thinking has always been broad.

... Aurore admitted that she was not such a rogue. She considered it and said, I haven't tried it. I don't know if it will work. I will try it myself when you reach Sequence 7. However, I think there is a 'blank slate'. In other circumstances, summoning other 'white papers' will probably conflict and it is unlikely to succeed. The only hope is to directly summon multiple 'white papers', but there is a high probability that only sequences that are good at summoning can do this.

Lumian made up his mind to give it a try when the time came, since he wouldn't lose anything anyway.

Aurore scooped up some mashed potatoes:

“Now let’s talk about how to summon spiritual creatures, and this is an application of ritual magic.

What is ritual magic? It is magic performed by selecting a date and time, preparing corresponding materials, and strictly following the format and process. It is often used for prayers and summonses.

Lumian nodded:

Is it a ritual to achieve some extraordinary effect?

He was thinking of the various rituals of the Eternal Sun Church and the process of the Lenten celebrations.

Yes. Aurore was very satisfied with her brother's understanding. To put it simply, ritual magic has an object of prayer. This can be the seven righteous gods, or other hidden existences, or even evil gods, demons, or even It can be yourself. When you pray to the righteous gods, you need to check or select the date and time they rule. For example, Tuesday is the symbol of the 'Eternal Sun', and there are corresponding solar hours every day. At these times Duan performs ritual magic to pray to the 'Eternal Blazing Sun', and the probability of success will be greatly increased.

But this is actually of little use. You are not an official Extraordinary. The probability of success in praying to the corresponding righteous god is very small. Even if you get a response, don't be happy. It may mean that you are being paid attention to by that person.

“Of course, we also have ways to bypass restrictions, such as obtaining an item that is closely related to the target god.

You don't need to choose a day or time to pray to hidden existences, evil gods and demons, but I don't need to tell you the dangers? Ninety-nine percent of people who do this will not end well.

Therefore, for wild extraordinary people, the most commonly used ritual magic is to pray to oneself to mobilize one's own spirituality and complete some more complicated things.

Creating spells and extraordinary weapons? Lumian thought of a knowledge point mentioned by the lady.

Aurore nodded:

Yes, some secret medicines also require ritual magic.

You didn't say enough about summoning spiritual creatures.

She ate some more food before saying:

The second step of ritual magic is to prepare the corresponding materials. If you want to pray to any being, prepare herbs, essential oils, powders, hydrosols, etc. from his domain or that can please him. Let's take the 'Eternal Fierce Sun' as an example and pray to him. You can use 'sun' essential oil, rosemary powder, bergamot, various sunflowers, etc. to pray. It doesn't take too much trouble to pray to yourself. Although it is said that it is best to use materials in your own field, but for a guy like you, let A glass of absinthe will do, it won't be a big problem if you leave it alone.

The third step is to arrange the altar, which can depend on the environment. It does not need to be particularly sacred and solemn. The main thing is that there should be no debris.

The most important thing on the altar is the candle...

Aurore said as she picked up her knife and fork.

She stretched out these two items and said:

“Pretend they are candles and make them out of the symbolic material corresponding to whichever deity you pray to.

Let's take the 'Eternal Fierce Sun' as an example. His honorable name has immortal light and the incarnation of order...

Being cautious, Aurore paused for a few seconds before continuing:

The God of Contracts and the Guardian of Commerce.

There should also be the honorific title 'Father of All Creatures', right? Lumian had heard many sermons.

Aurore shook her head:

This is just a title commonly used in the propaganda of the 'Eternal Fierce Sun' church. In terms of mysticism, 'Eternal Fierce Sun' is not enough to bear. If it really does exist, it may mean that something big has happened.

She didn't specify what the big deal was, and it seemed like she wasn't too clear about it.

She brought the topic back on track:

If you want to drive away the undead, you must pray to the symbol of 'Eternal Light', so you have to use various sunflowers to make candles. Correspondingly, if it involves a contract, use the honorific title 'God of Contract' to Bergamot and other materials are used to make candles. For more choices, see my witchcraft notes.

In a ritual magic, we only place a maximum of two candles corresponding to the positions of the gods, because in occultism, 0 represents the unknown and chaos, symbolizing the beginning of the world. Not placing candles means that there will be no effect. , 1 represents the beginning, represents the original creator, and also represents the existence that can be pointed accurately. 2 symbolizes the world and gods born from the original creator. Therefore, ritual magic can only use two candles to represent the gods. The specific use Which two symbolic candles correspond to each other depends on the effect you want to achieve.

3 means everything, so the third candle has to be left to ourselves.

“That is to say, the two candles on top represent the gods, and the one candle in front corresponds to yourself, a total of three.

“If you have an item that is closely related to a certain deity or hidden existence, you can remove the two upper candles and replace them with that item. This is called dualistic ritual.

“Pray to yourself and keep only the candle that represents you.”

Lumian listened very attentively.

According to the lady, as a wild hunter, before he knew the name of that great being, the only thing he could use was the ritual magic of praying to himself. After all, where could he find someone closely related to a certain god? thing.

Let me show you the next few steps using summoning spiritual creatures as an example. Aurore stood up and said when she saw that her brother had also finished his dinner.

The two quickly cleared the dining table.
