Richard has a clearer understanding of the Ignis School's teaching style after some time.
For a first-level wizard apprentice, it is a lenient admission but difficult graduation policy. The school does not care whether you attend classes or what classes you attend. There are only assessments every six months that you must pass.
Otherwise, no matter how many classes you attend or how hard you listen, it will all be zero.
Richard really appreciated this point. It was a respect for the students' freedom of choice!
You can study the school's courses in any combination you want. You only need to study what you want to learn!
With the incident at Spider Trail over, the teachers in charge of the basic courses for freshmen had already resumed their normal classes.
As Richard had enough points, he took several additional paid courses during this period of time and completed the prerequisite courses for three other level-0 witchcrafts: bone armor, slowness, and dark element shield.
This was different from what he had planned at the beginning!
Richard's original idea was that it was better to master one thing than to be proficient in all things, so he could master a powerful witchcraft and kill the opponent instantly at the beginning.
This was also the reason why he chose to learn Shadow Grip first at the beginning!
But after taking a paid course "The Essentials of Combat for Wizard Apprentices", Richard changed his mind.
In the course, the instructor said, "Wizard apprentices, especially those at level one and two, have limited mental power and can only use a limited number of spells, so they must fully balance offense and defense and not leave any shortcomings."
Indeed, when faced with a battle that could not be resolved quickly, Richard's shortcomings were exposed; he did not have any sustained defensive magic.
Although Shadow Grip can change its form to protect itself, it can only block one attack from the opponent.
If faced with multiple attacks from the enemy, Richard can only choose to dodge.
Thinking of this, Richard recalled the battle between himself and Shadow Stalker, and he still felt a lingering fear!
If he hadn't bought the Grace of Wind potion at that time, if he hadn't drunk the potion without hesitation before fighting Shadow Stalker.
Then there is a great possibility that he himself had been killed instantly by the opponent's arrow in that battle!
Therefore, this time he chose to learn bone armor, dark element shield, and slowness, which basically made up for his shortcomings.
That's right!
Richard's next plan is that as his mental strength gradually improves, he can now afford to use two or three levels of zero-level witchcraft.
So, he redefined his fighting mode.
Richard did not choose the more powerful level zero attack spells again, such as Death Bite, Secondary Shadow Arrow, etc., but first chose two continuous defensive spells [Bone Armor] and [Dark Element Shield] to make up for his defensive shortcomings.
[Bone Armor] Continuously consumes mental power, draws on dark element energy and bone powder to form multiple white bones that rotate at high speed around the body. Casting the spell requires a witchcraft medium: bone powder.
One of the prerequisite courses for bone armor is to manipulate skeletons, which Richard has already mastered.
[Dark Element Shield] consumes about three points of mental power and draws dark element energy to wrap the entire body in a bubble shape.
Although both are defensive witchcraft, there are still big differences between them. Bone armor is more suitable for resisting physical attacks, such as sword slashing, etc., while dark element shield is more suitable for resisting witchcraft attacks of all elements.
Then, Richard chose a more common zero-level sorcery [Slowness]. The reason for choosing it was very simple. As a turret profession, the wizard must keep as much distance as possible from the opponent, especially when Richard himself is a master of bows and crossbows.
[Slowness]: Consumes about two points of mental energy, draws on the power of dark elements, inflicts a slowness curse, and reduces the enemy's movement and attack speed.
Speaking of slowness, the White Wizard's slowness is to draw on the power of the earth element, exert the influence of gravity, and reduce the movement speed and attack speed.
The essence of the dark wizard's slow spell is a curse that triggers the power of dark elements!
If Richard hadn't taken the paid course, he really wouldn't have understood the difference.
Today, Richard would start to learn these three witchcrafts, and he planned to start with the simplest one, the slowness spell.
[I discovered that the host was performing the Zero-level Slowing Magic. Do you want to consume energy and gain inspiration for the Zero-level Slowing Magic? ]
This time, looking at the numbers 1 and 8200 at the two ends of the slider, Richard thought for a moment and decided to drag the slider to 1000 and selected "Yes!"
After a while of dizziness, Richard's soul came to the dream space again. This time he came to an empty wasteland. He possessed a vague figure wearing a hood.
As soon as he possessed the body, he saw the first rune of the slow spell in his mind, being slowly outlined by his mental power, but it soon failed.
Slowness is composed of three runes in total, and once outlined, it can form a witchcraft model.
Since Richard had many experiences in drawing runes, especially the experience of Rodrigo's meditation method and one of the most difficult zero-level witchcrafts, Shadow Grip, after several attempts, Richard had slowly grasped the trick. With the
blessing of his inspiration, Richard successfully drew the first rune in his mind soon after only trying more than ten times!
After the first rune was quickly sketched out, Richard continued to sketch the second rune in his mind.
This time, it took much longer and he tried nearly a hundred times before he succeeded!
After a long time, the third rune was also successfully sketched out by Richard!
At this point, the witchcraft model of the slow spell has taken shape in his mind. What Richard needs to do now is to find a living creature, cast the slow spell on it, and evaluate the effect of the spell.
But when Richard looked around, it was empty and lonely, without a single living thing.
Just as Richard was thinking how nice it would be if a few wolves could come and let him try out the slowing technique, suddenly, the scene in front of him became blurred.
When the scene became clear again, he could only see the shadows of three prairie wolves, grinning at him from dozens of meters away.
Hiss! The dream space actually has this function!
But that's true, in a dream, of course you can have whatever you want, but I don't know if it will consume more energy points.
Immediately, Richard used the slowness spell on the prairie wolf closest to him.
When I first started using the slowness technique, I often failed. After finally performing one, I saw a ball of black mist quickly covering the prairie wolf.
The prairie wolf's running speed was seen to decrease at a speed visible to the naked eye, but the increase was not very large. Richard estimated that the entry-level slowing technique only reduced the opponent's speed by about 20% to 30%.
So, this time, in the dream, he still couldn't outrun the prairie wolf, failed!
He fell down and got up again, and kept trying!
Finally, after thousands of failures, Richard did it!
Before the three prairie wolves pounced on him, he cast Slowness on them all, then dragged them into his own fighting rhythm!
When Richard returned to his body, he checked the panel and saw [Witchcraft] Slow (58% proficiency)!
Richard was very satisfied with this. Although 1,000 energy points was not a small amount, it was still beyond his expectation that he could push Slow to the proficient level.
It seems that the commonality of witchcraft has helped him save a lot of energy points!
Next comes the next witchcraft.
[I discovered that the host was performing the Zero-level Witchcraft Bone Armor Technique. Do you want to consume energy and gain inspiration for the Zero-level Witchcraft Bone Armor Technique? ]
[I found that the host was casting the zero-level witchcraft dark element shield. Yes/No, consume energy to gain inspiration for the zero-level witchcraft dark element shield? ]
After a long time, Richard stared at the information on the panel and fell into deep thought.
