Since he had successfully sensed the "starry sky" when he was just an apprentice, Lucien immediately suppressed all his doubts and started to search for his "Host Star of Destiny" according to the Astrology Meditation Method.
The starry sky was vast and boundless, and there were countless stars. But after combining his soul and spiritual power, Lucien soon sensed a familiar feeling from the countless stars, a feeling that belonged to him. So Lucien started to move his spiritual power and slowly approached the still weak star.
After a long time, his spiritual power finally touched the illusory star. Then, according to the Astrology Meditation Method, Lucien merged his spiritual power with the star bit by bit and connected with it.
Suddenly, Lucien's spiritual power started to shake violently like a string being hit, and his soul also started to shake.
Knowing that this was a necessary process and a critical moment, Lucien kept extending the rest of his spiritual power to stabilize the spiritual power line that was shaking violently.
This spiritual power line was gradually covered with a layer of bright starlight and slowly stabilized. And Lucien's soul shook, and there was a reflection of a star in it.
Greedily absorbing the power of the "star" from the thin starlight spiritual power line to refine his soul and spiritual power, Lucien was immersed in the Astrology Meditation Method until his soul felt full. Then he stopped and switched to the Element Meditation Method.
This time, Lucien did not use the power of "earth, fire, wind, and water" to refine his soul and spiritual power. Instead, he used the Element Meditation Method to strengthen the connection between his spiritual power and the "elements". The stronger the connection, the faster he could cast the Element Spells in the future. Even if it was a spell with a mark model, it could also shorten the casting time.
When Lucien felt the tiredness from the bottom of his soul, he finished his first meditation and opened his eyes. His deep black pupils were brimming with excitement and joy.
"Even in my normal state, I can sense the reflection of my Host Star of Destiny in my soul. If I concentrate, I can even vaguely sense that in the distant sky, there is a star that has a mysterious connection with me, and I can borrow a tiny bit of its power. However, that line of spiritual power doesn't seem to exist. It seems to be in another time and space."
Lucien thought happily, but soon he noticed something strange. Wait, I came from another world, so why is there my "Host Star of Destiny" in this world? According to the theory of astrology, when the old Lucien died, his Host Star of Destiny would dim, slide, or disappear. Also, the familiar feeling just now was indeed the smell of Lucien's Host Star of Destiny. What's the reason?
Lucien could not think of an explanation, so he could only put his doubts aside for the time being.
At the same time, after this meditation and thoroughly reading the witch's notes, Lucien understood that if he wanted to feel the spiritual power of others, he had to use the corresponding magic, unless he had just broken through not long ago and his spiritual power was still unstable, then it could be directly discovered. Back then, Benjamin must have judged that his spiritual power was slightly higher than that of ordinary people through the sound of crying, and it was not the magic trap that the witch left behind that targeted only a few people.
Of course, there was also the corresponding magic to restrain or hide one's spiritual power.
After a short rest, Lucien excitedly opened the witch's notes to see what kind of apprentice-level magic he could currently learn.
With the "Host Star of Destiny", Lucien could now learn the only three apprentice-level magic in the Astrology Magic, which could only be learned after the witch became a senior apprentice. Among the apprentice-level magic, it was a very powerful type, but due to the lack of spiritual power, Lucien could not use it as effectively, and after two or three times, his spiritual power would dry up.
The standard for the classification of apprentices was how many apprentice-level magic spells they could use when their spiritual power was in a perfect state to a dry state. Apprentices could use five apprentice-level magic spells, apprentices could use ten apprentice-level magic spells, and senior apprentices could use twenty. In other words, Lucien could only use five apprentice-level magic spells consecutively, and if he wanted to use more, he would have to rest or take a magic potion to recover his spiritual power. But if he used the apprentice-level magic spells of the Astrology Department, Lucien could only use three of them consecutively.
The three apprentice-level magic spells of the Astrology Department were "Elementary Astrology", "Eyes of the Stars", and "Ring of Madness".
Among them, Astrology was the signature magic of the Astrology Department. According to the witch, even elementary Astrology required a lot of knowledge, such as the rules of the movement of some stars, how to choose the right combination with the other stars of the Host Star of Destiny, and so on. It was very complicated, and it took her several years to learn how to use it, but due to her lack of knowledge, the results of her astrology were basically inaccurate.
In Lucien's eyes, the most troublesome thing about elementary Astrology was that it required the help of a pure and rare magic crystal ball made of the Morning Light Crystal, which he did not know where to find. After all, the witch's family only had one magic crystal ball for generations. Unfortunately, she always carried it with her, and it was taken away by the Church.
On the other hand, Lucien found elementary Astrology, which was complicated and troublesome for the witch, to be quite easy for him. Most of it was a messy description of celestial mechanics at the high school level, and a hand-drawn astrological chart based on his memory.
Of course, Lucien still had to learn how to choose the right combination with the stars of the Host Star, because it was something that he could not understand, just like how he could not understand why the stars represented destiny.
However, thinking that he would have to use a magic crystal ball to cast Astrology in the future, Lucien had a subtle feeling. If he were to wear a black magic robe, he would look more like an evil sorcerer.
"Eyes of the Stars" was a kind of hypnotic and trance magic, which required the target to look at his pupils. Lucien did not know why it was classified in the Astrology Department.
In Lucien's eyes, "Ring of Madness" was a three-dimensional ring about 20 centimeters thick, which could be slightly changed by the gravity of the stars. It was mainly used for defense.
After a short rest, Lucien decided to learn the first magic of his life, and his goal was to learn "Ring of Madness".
This was because "Eyes of the Stars" required the casting material "Night Star Grass" powder, and the other apprentice-level spells in the Elemental Department were also similar. For example, "Frost Ray" required "Ice Stone" powder, "Acid Sputtering" required "Sulfur", and so on.
Currently, there were very few spells that did not require casting materials. Most of them were from other departments, such as "Hand of Magic" from the Transmutation Department.
Although Lucien could also learn other kinds of magic, it was relatively easier for him to learn Astrology and Elemental Meditation since he was an apprentice.
According to the spellcasting concentration training recorded in the witch's notes, Lucien focused his mind and sensed the almost imperceptible power of the Star of Destiny in the night sky through the "Star of Destiny" in his soul. Then he whispered the spell in a low voice, which was difficult to pronounce.
This time, after Lucien whispered the spell, he clearly sensed that as his voice vibrated, his spiritual power fluctuated and began to combine with the gravity of the Star of Destiny.
Therefore, Lucien hurriedly changed his spiritual power according to the simple rune pattern of "Ring of Madness".
Unfortunately, because he was not familiar with it, the combination of his spiritual power and the gravity of the Star of Destiny was interrupted before Lucien could change the rune pattern.
After two breaks to recover his spiritual power, Lucien finally succeeded in changing the pattern of the rune pattern after five failures.
Under the control of Lucien's will, an invisible light appeared on the repaired wooden table, and the candlestick was within the range of the spell.
Under the control of Lucien, the flame on the candlestick was suppressed and then suddenly jumped up, and the room was constantly changing, creating a gloomy and scary feeling. It was not until two minutes later that the flame returned to normal.
Lucien clasped his hands and pondered, "The range of the gravity change is too small. It can only make the attacker lose control of the weapon, but it can't make the weapon fall to the ground or fly up in the air. It's really just an apprentice-level spell, and I still have to use it to dodge and defend myself."
"And the casting time is too long. It took me five seconds, but after I practice it, I should be able to shorten it to three seconds."
"Anyway, this is the first spell I've learned." Lucien did not expect that he could learn "Ring of Madness" so quickly. When the witch first learned this spell, it took her a whole month, so he was quite happy. "According to the witch's own records, she couldn't understand why the Star of Destiny could cause the chaos of the Earth Element, so she couldn't analyze the structure of this spell in a short time. So she had to practice again and again to analyze it and accept the fact that it worked. But I'm the opposite. It seems that in this world, sometimes knowledge equals power."
While feeling happy, Lucien carefully recalled the process of casting the spell just now, trying to find a way to shorten the casting time. "The spell seems to be used to generate a specific frequency and make the spiritual power vibrate. If I control the vibration of my spiritual power at the beginning, I wonder if it will work? If it works, I can save the time of reciting the spell and keep the casting time to about two seconds. But it seems that the requirement for spiritual power control is higher. "
With this idea in mind, Lucien started to practice "Ring of Madness" again. After many times, when Lucien felt that he could no longer recover his spiritual power with a short rest, the casting time of "Ring of Madness" had been reduced to three seconds, and he roughly recorded the specific frequency of the spell.
"Tomorrow morning, I'll try to cast a spell without a spell, and then I'll go buy some common, non-suspicious casting materials and magic potion materials." Before the exhausted Lucien fell asleep, he thought in a daze. For a sorcerer, magic experiments could help him to analyze the structure of spells and master spells, so they were indispensable, even if he was not going to be an alchemist in the future.
