Chapter 348
On one hand, this class ability would increase the casting time of all his spells.
swift action would automatically change to standard action, which would then change to a full round of casting. the original full round of casting would then change to two rounds of casting.
so, even if zhao xu added spontaneous casting to most of his spells, it would only make the casting time return to normal. if he wanted to continue compressing it, he would have to rely on the subsequent spells to expand it.
On the other hand,’mental protection’ was a contact spell, not a ‘fixed distance’ or ‘self’ spell, so it could not last long.
this meant that in the face of an emergency battle, zhao xu would have to first cast this spell that would last for every minute of the caster’s level.
at the same time, it was just like the lesser swift burst spell that zhao xu had used before. Before he really suffered the ” stun ” punishment, he could not cast this spell again, which saved him the trouble of using the ” advanced swiftness burst ” of ” infinite combo ” after he reached level eight.
as for the ‘mental protection’ spell, although it didn’t have the restriction of having to withstand attribute damage to continue its effect, it was still effective.
However, every time he cast mental protection, he could not choose the attribute target he wanted to sacrifice again after he was immune to it.
in other words, each time he cast ” mental protection “, he could use ” supreme magic control ” six times for six attributes.
then, he would have to refresh the ‘mental protection’ spell. Moreover, his strength was only 8 points. Even if he was immune, if he chose the strength attribute, he could only adjust it to seven rings at most.
Zhao Xu guessed that this was also a way for the will of the world to suppress the balance.
In fact, this was because he was the only one who had advanced to the ‘Supreme magic sculptor’ level. once it spread, the balance would continue to crush him, forcing him to only take effect with his real damage attribute.
But Zhao Xu wasn’t too worried about this. even if that was the case, he had a way to recover his attributes immediately after the attribute damage was done.
the strength of a mage was a dilemma he was facing. there were too many spells, advancements, specialties, and magic items that could be combined into new solutions to deal with it.
after checking out the powerful abilities of the super magic sculptor class, zhao xu turned his attention to the advanced level of the guardian of runes.
compared to classes like wizards and archivers, who only had d4 dice of hp (increasing 1 – 4 hp with every level).
the rune guardian was a d6 hit dice. its skills were based on knowledge (mys) level 8 and spellcraft level 8, which were the upper limits of a level 5 character.
In Arthur, if the players didn’t have Zhao Xu’s “cleric” knowledge as a backup plan, or if he really did manage to raise his intelligence to the upper limit of 22, then it was basically impossible for him to keep maxing out on his knowledge and skills. You couldn’t have both the speed of leveling up and the level of your skills at the same time.
the upper limit of a level 1 wizard’s knowledge skills could reach level 4, but most players were only at level 1 or 2.
This was something that even if one were to offer an advancement to him, he would not be able to enjoy it.
The requirements for these two talents were a metamagic talent and an item creation talent. The scribe Scroll in Zhao Xu’s scroll looked normal, but it was still considered an item creation talent, so it just so happened to meet the requirements.
the third requirement of the guardian of runes was that one had to be able to cast both divine spells and arcane spells at the same time, and it was also this requirement that stopped countless mages.
As for the fourth condition, it required the user to have a magical domain.
this point almost specified that only a priest of a god from the school of magic could do it.
Zhao Xu only understood this when he saw the requirements for The Guardian of runes from the Molin stone tablet.
why did his second career path not start from a level 1 scroll, but from a level 1 cleric, and especially from the variant ” cultivating cleric “?
it was to fulfill the prerequisite of advancing to the guardian of runes.
this was the gift that the goddess of magic had given him at that moment.
For example, when Reyan had cast a spell earlier, he had been blocked by the succubus’s spell resistance on the spot. once zhao xu had level 4 supernatural spells, he could turn his spells into supernatural powers and ignore any resistance to spells. he would be able to break through spells on the spot.
even the four level 7 spells such as blasphemy (evil), holy word (good), law (order), and chaos (chaos) were all spells that would ignore immunity and be directly obliterated if their levels were 10 levels lower than the life dice.
their only limitation was that they would be suppressed by ‘magic resistance’.
but after zhao xu’s supernatural spells were cast on it, it would become an instant death spell that ignored all resistance and spell resistance.
On top of that, Antonya herself could stack a level 30 wizard level up to a level 70 spellcaster level, so once Zhao Xu did the same thing, he would be able to level up as well.
If he was not careful, even an immemorial Dragon could be instantly killed by his ‘holy words’.
It was indeed a human killing weapon.
the only unfortunate thing was that supernatural spells were a level 4 class ability of the guardian of runes, and the only spell that zhao xu had at level 1 right now was an extended special spell.
this class ability allowed zhao xu to choose a spell to use as an extension spell. After that, he could transform the same or higher circle spell slots he had prepared into a designated ‘extension spell’.
It was similar to his priest’s ” spontaneous casting ” ability, which could turn all divine spells into ” healing divine spells ” of the same circle.
It didn’t mean much to Zhao Xu, who had both the ‘multi-talented spellcaster’ and the ‘bizarre forethought’.
This also made Zhao Xu understand that spell slots and the ability to prepare spells were methods that limited the majority of spell casters, including Wizards from earth to Wizards from Arthur.
However, he had already bypassed the restrictions by relying on the specialty chain, making this seemingly good ability useless to him.
zhao xu had just reached level 6. on one hand, he was experiencing how much stronger his character summon card had become. on the other hand, he estimated the time and realized that there was still quite a bit of time before his afternoon lecture.
He walked out of the Sacred Heart Cathedral and chose to go to some magic material stores to replenish his third-circle Divine Art materials.
After he reached Level 6, Zhao Xu could now cast Level 3 divine spells.
in addition to the priest’s level 3 divine spells, it also meant that the unique poet’s arcane spells, warlock’s arcane spells, ranger’s divine spells, paladin’s divine spells, and druid’s divine spells were all included in the level 3 spells he could cast.
After going around two intersections and walking into a narrow alley, Zhao Xu suddenly stopped in his tracks when he sensed something.
At this moment, his gaze followed the direction of the faith that he had sensed. It was a group of people gathered together, and he did not know what they were surrounding.
Zhao Xu knew that this was the direction of Zheng xinyun’s faith, so he immediately walked over.
in the course of this half a month, zhao xu had also taken on the role of teaching zheng xinyun and the other cleric apprentices, so he could be considered to be familiar with her class of players.
and during this period of time, zheng xinyun had not changed her faith towards the goddess of magic. the power of faith was still directed towards zhao xu.
it was just that he was busy with his own promotion at the time and did not pay much attention to the content of faith in divinity, so he did not interfere too much with zheng xinyun’s gaming life.
at this moment, he saw a group of people surrounding him. although he did not know if something had happened to zheng xinyun, he quickened his pace and went over.
he immediately saw a few cleric apprentices who had also received his training, standing there with anxious expressions.
Zhao Xu gently pushed the crowd aside and tried to squeeze his way in. To normal people, he didn’t need to use spells from the Bigby series to clear a path.
The crowd around them was initially a little angry, but when they saw the robe that Zhao Xu was wearing, they immediately fell silent.
in mystra, mages and priests could be said to be the dominant force in this large town, and ordinary people could not afford to offend them.
This was especially so when they saw the gold-rimmed silk emblazoned on Zhao Xu’s priest robe. They could tell that he had at least three rings.
In the blink of an eye, Zhao Xu managed to squeeze into the center of the circle. He saw a middle-aged woman. Her face was pale and her body was emaciated. She had already lost consciousness on the ground.
zheng xinyun and another cleric apprentice beside her were trying their best to use their ” medical ” skills in an attempt to restore the unconscious woman’s consciousness.
Zhao Xu heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that it wasn’t Zheng xinyun who was in trouble. last time, the succubus had killed all the cleric apprentices in the classroom with a blasphemy, including zheng xinyun.
when zhao xu saw that scene, it immediately made him think back to his previous life and he almost had a mental block over it.
Fortunately, in this life, he finally had the ability to turn the situation around.
this was also the reason why zhao xu had been working so hard for half a month to get to level 6. He needed power so badly that he would no longer regret his powerlessness.
“Ah, Mr. Lecturer.” at this moment, the girls standing behind zheng xinyun recognized zhao xu. they had also attended zhao xu’s class.
At this moment, Zheng xinyun looked up and saw that it was Zhao Xu. She also looked happy and felt a lot more at ease.
“What’s wrong?” Zhao Xu knelt down as well and asked the middle-aged woman who had fallen to the ground.
