When Andrew was flipping through the books earlier, he remembered it was mentioned that after completing the resonance of the elements in his body, he could learn spells that had similar effects to the laws. Through studying these spells and gaining insights, the frequency of the resonance of the magic power in his body would improve from the original imitation of the law to the true law of resonance, which could only be understood without words.
It was precisely this process that formed the half-step great mages like Valle. They were already approaching that special resonance, and although there was still a long way to go, they could already partially mobilize the law. Compared to the true power of the law, it was much weaker, but it far surpassed the power of an ordinary mage!
'The attached flame just now mainly emphasized the character of the burning law that, under the burning effect, turns all the material on the target's body into fuel.'
'Even the non-flammable fire jade was affected.'
'And it was precise because I had some understanding of this characteristic that I increased my ability to release the fire attached to the target for the second time, allowing it to remain on the fire jade for a longer period.'
Andrew pondered. At this moment, in a short half a day, he had completed decades' worth of advanced mages' exploration and accumulation.
Other fire spells that involve combustion reactions will focus on other aspects. For example, when burning, it will release a large amount of heat as damage. When burning, the flames will attack nearby substances.'
'When I master all the characteristics of these spells, it also means that the resonance frequency of the elements in my body will get closer to the true law of combustion.'
'Only when I have reached a certain level of comprehension can I truly realize the evolution of the elemental domain!'
Andrew made his deductions. Many of them had not been mentioned in the book that he had found previously about the arcane. If others had known that he had made many deductions, they would have found this quite absurd. For in the normal course of history, the development of theories from nothing to something would have taken the mage civilization on Blue Planet hundreds of years!
'Next, let's try other spells.'
'Regardless of whether that Valle was sent by the Headquarters or if he stood up for Faerun City, if I'm stronger, I'll be able to solve the problem better.'
Andrew felt that he had found the solution, and his train of thought excited him.
He first left the magic crystal training room and returned home, and greeted Tim and Mary. After all, Andrew still had to hide his strength from the two of them. There was no reason why he would disappear for such a long time.
"Dad? You need to go on a business trip?"
"Yes, I've received a mission. The Association needs me to help them investigate something, this will help me recover my strength."
"Haven't you noticed that my injuries have been gradually recovering recently? I'll be able to return to being a beginner mage very soon."
"This...Dad, you don't have to take such a risk."
Tim's expression was a little hesitant, but under Andrew's determined gaze, he couldn't say anything. He could only shut his mouth dejectedly. He knew his father's stubborn personality.
Instead, it was Mary who was heartless.
"Really? Dad!"
"If you can recover your strength, that would be great. My older brother wouldn't have to worry about finding elixirs for you every day!"
"You!"
Andrew patted her head affectionately, then left under the puzzled gazes of his children. The reason he made up was also traceable. After all, the news of the beast tide outside the City would be leaked out sooner or later. At that time, he could completely mislead Tim and Mary, telling them he had participated in the investigation of the beast tide.
As for the people from the Magic Association, there was no need for Andrew to personally inform them. They all knew very well. If that Valle was sent by the Headquarters, then the most important thing in Rafax City right now was to let Mr. Smith's strength rise to another level! Once there was a great mage on Faerun City's side, even if they massacred the entire Faerun City--not to mention just destroying the stands of the Faerun City Academy during the battle and causing heavy casualties to their students--it would not have much of an impact. The friction between the Moore Republic and the surrounding countries was endless. The value of a great mage was much more valuable than the people of a city!
...
'First, the burning sword.'
Andrew quickly drew out a few runes in his mind. Then, he picked up an iron sword that he had prepared. As he gently swiped it, flames rapidly rose from it.
'Compared to the flame enchantment of low-level spells, the intermediate spell version has added effect that when the blade strikes the enemy, it will cause the fire element to be retained within and burn the opponent's body.'
'This should also be considered a spell related to burning.'
What surprised Andrew was that he had repeatedly cast the 'burning sword' nearly a hundred times. The insights he had obtained from the burning law helped to maintain the burning flame under strong wind and other harsh environments.
After Andrew had a new insight, he could feel he had a slight adjustment in the elemental vibrations of his body, so he began to practice the next spell with satisfaction.
'But it's still a little slow. I have to cast the same spell over a hundred times.'
Andrew was a little helpless. He was not simply casting a spell. He still had to carefully comprehend it. But the burning sword spell had taken him an entire afternoon, which made him a little impatient.
However, if the other mages knew what Andrew was thinking, they would be furious. This was because they knew that even if they cast the same spell thousands of times, they won't necessarily have any knowledge of the law! Even if they had gained insight, they could not be sure if the resonance frequency of the magic power in their bodies had changed! After all, the talent and mind power of an ordinary mage was not enough to support him to sense this extremely weak elemental vibration frequency.
'Red lotus fire.'
Andrew held a ball of flame in his palm. This spell was quite familiar to him. After all, it had been upgraded using arcane runes. However, after repeatedly casting the non-upgraded version, Andrew gradually understood how to use the burning law to increase the amount of energy consumed by the flame, resulting in an even higher temperature.
'The elemental vibration in my body has become much more accurate again.'
Andrew closed his eyes and thought for a while, revealing a smile.
'Next is the poisonous fire.'
'This can be considered a special spell.'
'I still need some materials.'
Andrew quickly drew out the specific runes in his mind and took out the prepared toad.
As he continued to cast and study fire spells that were related to the burning characteristics, Andrew could feel that the elemental resonance in his body was becoming more accurate and precise. Moreover, every time he cast a new spell, he realized that even if he was using these ordinary spells, their power would continue to rise.
In the magic crystal training room, time passed by minute by minute. Andrew had stayed in there for more than a week, but there were still no signs of him wanting to leave. This was because as his understanding of the burning law improved, Andrew needed more and more spells to improve, advance, and study to obtain a hint of new understanding and improvement of the law. However, he was very sure that when he did leave, his grasp of the arcane would be very accurate.
