So, what is it that affects the success rate of making magic scrolls?
First of all, there is the problem of proficiency in drawing magic spell formations. The solution to this problem is very simple: repeated practice with a magic carving knife, but magicians without any carving skills who want to make a breakthrough in this area and want to make their drawn magic lines more fluent will not see any achievement without a year or two of hard practice. Such boring carving training and boring meditation training faintly clash very much in terms of time, without enough time to practice meditation, the magic pool in the body will not grow, and magic pool growth is related to the breakthrough of the magician's rank, so this is the fundamental of a magician, unless this magician gives up magic training and focuses on inscription, in that case! Well! You can only be a low-level inscriber, and you can't make high-level inscriptions without raising your magician level. Therefore, the problem of proficiency in drawing magic formations has always been the first stumbling block in the success rate of inscribers in making magic scrolls.
The next problem is the manipulation of magical power. The use and manipulation of magical power is also part of the magical practice class and can be remedied with a lot of practice, like when I gather three spheres of magical power between my fingers and make them move around my five fingers in a fast and traceless way, without the three spheres interfering with each other. This is the most basic training in magic manipulation. For magic manipulation, Kiger is very good at it, her magic bullet is strengthened by herself, that is, according to her magic manipulation power, Kiger condenses another layer of magic element on the exterior of the magic bullet, and makes this layer of magic element film run at high speed on the surface of the magic bullet, which greatly strengthens the destructive power and penetrating power of the magic bullet, this is typical of the skillful mastery of magic manipulation This is something that can be achieved.
This is a typical thing that can be achieved by mastering the magic manipulation ability. Secondly, there is the problem of defects on the magic parchment, which belongs to the category of materials. The average inscriber does not notice this, as they feel that if they pick the expensive one, they can do no wrong. Scratches on the surface can be seen, but darker marks on the inside of the leather are not so easily discernible. But often some wizards usually overlook the quality of magical parchment, which is why old Clu asked why he had always insisted that I learn leather-making under Uncle Fred.
Then there is the issue of the stability of the magical energy in the magical ink, which also belongs to the category of magical materials. The goodness or badness of a bottle of magical ink depends entirely on whether the magical energy inside the ink has been handled well during the process of configuring the magical ink. If the magical energy in the ink is like the water in a small pond rippling slightly or if the magical energy in the ink is like the waves in the sea, if the magical elements in the ink are too restless, it will test the inscriber's magical manipulation power. The reason why those students in Kiger's magic school questioned her magic potion was based on the fact that the magic ink she made was too unstable.
Last but not least is the issue of magical perception. Magical perception is a hard standard, and in the absence of a magician's own talent in this area, the strength of magical perception depends directly on the strength of mental power; the higher the mental power of a magician, the higher the magical perception. When drawing magical scrolls, magical ink seeps from the nib into the grain of the magical parchment, and the thickness and depth of the inscribed lines and the smoothness of the lines all depend on magical perception. This is the point of reference for avoiding all the dark wounds on high grade magical leather.
As long as these points are effectively controlled, the success rate of a magic scroll can be increased. Generally speaking a low-level magic scroll sells for five times the cost of the materials used to make it. This is where becoming a junior inscriber and making the lowest-level magic scrolls will give the inscriber a meagre income, when the junior inscriber will usually have a twenty-five per cent success rate and a magic scroll sells for five copies of the magic materials, just enough to allow the inscriber to break even.
But the above question of success rates in scroll making obviously doesn't apply to me. Who can use magic and be born with a magical talent like magical perception without having awakened a magic pool? I even had plenty of time to practice my magical manipulation skills, which became easy with a strong magical sense, and then I have to thank my previous life's gazpacho master, without him forcing me to carve all the platters for him all day long, my carving skills would not have been burned into my mind like learning to ride a bicycle in my lifetime, learned and never forgotten.
Now a scroll of gathering fire magic costs about a fifth of the cost of making a normal magic scroll, yes! This is because it is a simplified version of a magic spell. The great magician who created it has even eliminated all the complicated structures from the scroll, leaving it with its most basic function, which is to draw fire. While the paper of a normal scroll is about a foot square, this scroll is made from the palm of a magical antelope skin, one ninth the size of a normal scroll. The ink used is only a tenth the size of a normal scroll, and the cost of making it is nil, and it doesn't look like Kiger is going to pay me for any work. So the cost of the materials is nearly a tenth of the cost of a normal scroll, and my success rate in making such a simple scroll is extremely high. Kiger said that the market price for a beginner's scroll was around one gold coin, of which the materials would account for one-fifth, and that the materials for a beginner's scroll were worth about twenty silver dimes. Last night, I asked Kiger: How many dimes do our scrolls cost?
Kiger blinked and told me, somewhat embarrassed, that when I made the moonlight ink, the stabiliser in the ink, the Ningshenhua juice, which stabilised the magical elements, had been used up, so the ink I used to draw the magic scrolls was secondary ink without the stabiliser, which was cheaper than the real moonlight ink. Then Kiger swore to me that he thought I needed to practise with the ink, that he didn't expect me to be able to draw a spell scroll on the first night, so he didn't take the ink too seriously, and that he would put enough stabiliser in next time.
I said, "Missy, can you get to the point, how much would it cost us to make a scroll?
Slowly, Kiger stuck out a finger and said, "A silver dime!"
We were a bit uncomplimentary about the efficacy of the 'Fire Gathering' magic scroll, all right! I'll be straight with you, this thing doesn't seem to have found any use other than to make fire for warmth. Ordinary magic scrolls contain a primary magic skill that has some offensive or protective ability, so travellers carry them on their person as a means of saving their lives. This simplified version of the fire gathering spell would be of little use; no one could expect a magical beast or an enemy to foolishly jump into a campfire and wait quietly for the flames to burn them to death, no. In the early spring, the wilderness in the northern foothills of the Pai plateau is full of grass, but it is still a real problem for hunters who want to hunt magical antelope to gather a lot of grass to make a fire at night to keep warm, and sometimes they have to eat cold, dried meat when they chase their prey into areas where the grass is thin. With these 'fire-gathering techniques', it is still very difficult to keep warm at night. With these 'Fire Gathering' scrolls, these troubles will be solved.
Before we entered the auction house, we were met by the head of the auction house, an old orc in a dress who told us to call him Koro. The first time I saw Koro, I felt awkward because the old orc was wearing a black suit like a Zhongshan suit, with a pair of crystal rimless glasses on the bridge of his nose, and his hair and beard were neatly trimmed. The feeling is like an old man with a big braid, a shaved forehead and a pair of old Beijing shoes wearing a black tuxedo and a civilized staff in his hand, giving him an unexplainable awkwardness. But he could still talk to me in a serious manner, saying that because our goods had been delivered a little late, and furthermore they were not up to the grade of auction items, they could only be brought to the stage for display during the free trade time before the informal auction to see if anyone wanted to buy them.
Naturally, my opinion and Kiggy's was that we could sell them as long as they sold, regardless of whether it was a free-for-all or a formal auction! But we didn't want to show up in person and wanted the auction house to represent us, at best we would pay for the representation. So Kig and the old orc had another conversation about the details, and the final price was 20 silver dimes a scroll, and it seemed to me that unless someone had lost their mind, who would spend nearly a month's income on a magic scroll that could only be used to make a fire to keep warm?
But both the old orc and Kiger seemed very confident in peddling the fire-gathering scrolls at that price, so I didn't say anything more. As we handed over the pack of scrolls, the orc auctioneer, Koro, paused for a moment before rolling his eyes at a smug Kiger and saying, "I'm not sure I can sell all of these, after all, there are only a limited number of customers in the auction house and not everyone is interested in buying the scrolls!"
Kiger waved his hand indifferently and led us to say goodbye to the orc auctioneer Koro on that note before walking into the auction room.
"You think we can really sell those scrolls?" I asked Kiger suspiciously.
Kig turned her head to look at me and smiled, "We made a total of twenty-three fire gathering scrolls, if we can sell just one we can recoup the cost, so maybe someone will actually buy it!"
This was the reason why I insisted on entering the wilderness, I wanted to see the primary magic herbs growing in the wilderness, I wanted to hunt a magic antelope myself to see what kind of magical world it was, I was convinced that we had the power to defend ourselves. Seeing my insistence, Sister Gogo could only shut up with a sigh and asked Kiger, somewhat disgruntled, across the table, "You're fooling around with these two kids too?"
Kiger smiled and said, "Isn't life just one of the greatest adventures?"
Sister Gogo was furious at this, but couldn't refute it. These were the words of a once mighty wizard sage on the Roland continent, and were later taken as a life creed by many wizards.
