In the first meditation class, they could begin to sketch out the basic runes in their minds. This wasn't difficult; the difficult part was making the basic runes more and more solid in the later stages of meditation.
Only an extremely solid basic rune prototype could help the magic user find a suitable carrier after the weight core was broken. Because everyone's basic rune prototype was different, the more they understood it, the more they could find a suitable carrier among the many carriers that were suitable for them.
Professor Odam was full of energy, especially when it came to the topic of meditation. He could talk for a long time, but even though the content was boring, no one slacked off in the slightest.
After two hours of lectures, the freshmen sat cross-legged in their seats and began their first meditation.
They closed their eyes and relaxed their bodies, then allowed the magic particles in the weight core to move freely, slowly guiding them into their minds.
This process sounded simple, but it was incredibly difficult in practice.
The first challenge was to overcome the loneliness that came after falling into deep meditation. It was the strange feeling of being the only one left in the world.
Li Xiang held his breath as he tried his best to recall the bits and pieces of Professor Odam's class. When he felt the magic particles surge into his mind, he began to try to sketch out the first basic rune. Sketching a rune required six types of magic particles, so magic users who hadn't awakened all six magic circuits and didn't have the potential to become magicians couldn't meditate.
As time passed, a blurry rune slowly appeared in his mind. Realizing that he had finally taken his first step towards becoming a magician, Li Xiang was incredibly excited.
It was just like when he first entered the Origin Substance Decomposition Room.
He practiced both breathing techniques and meditation at the same time, and only then did he realize that the rhythm of his breathing would be forcefully interrupted when he meditated. No wonder it was so difficult to practice both.
When breathing techniques became part of one's life and became a habit, suddenly interrupting them was like being seriously injured. It was very uncomfortable.
Li Xiang quickly adjusted his state of mind, ignoring the sounds around him. He was fully focused on the basic rune that was slowly taking shape.
After an indeterminate amount of time, he finally completed the initial outline.
It was a dark purple basic rune. There were still many lines that weren't complete, and he could only make out a rough outline. However, it was enough to tell which of the six major elements it belonged to.
"This … this is Occult magic?" Li Xiang was very surprised. According to Professor Odum, among the six categories, the support and general types in the middle were the two categories with the most matches. Then, the probability decreased from the sides.
Offensive Magic, Strengthening Domain, Auxiliary Magic, Universal Magic, Summoning Magic, and Mystical Magic. Among the six major categories, Offensive Magic and Mystical Magic were the least used. Due to the low number of people who were matched with them, he did not expect to be matched with Mystical Magic, which had the lowest probability of success.
When he opened his eyes, the classroom was filled with various sounds of disappointment and joy. Most of the freshmen had completed their first meditation and learned the types of magic they could practice in the future.
"Looks like all of you have successfully completed your first meditation. Now, sit in groups according to the six major categories. From left to right, Offensive Magic, Strengthening Domain, Auxiliary Magic, Universal Magic, Summoning Magic, and Mystical Magic. Students with student numbers in front will sit in the front row. Get up and move." Professor Odum clapped his hands, and the freshmen immediately got up and sat in groups.
After their awakening, their information would be recorded in their student cards. When they were in their second year, they would be divided into specializations according to the six major categories. Every category had its own advantages and disadvantages. After the information was made public, it would be easier for the outside world to choose and support them.
After the groups were divided, the middle had the most people. There were very few people on the sides. Li Xiang was the only Mystical Mage!
And there were only a few people who were Offensive Magic.
This was an entire class of students from the Mage Faculty.
Everyone's gaze immediately fell on Li Xiang. Some were confused, some were surprised, some were emotional, but most of them were sympathetic.
Li Xiang looked at them in confusion.
After discovering that Li Xiang was the Mystical Mage, Professor Odum was also shocked.
He walked towards Li Xiang and asked, "Are you sure that your basic rune is the Mystical Mage? Are you sure? "
Li Xiang had already confirmed it several times. There was no way he was wrong.
"Mystical Mage, huh. How rare. I haven't seen a student of this category in a long time. You really are full of variables." Professor Odum laughed and turned to the screen. He used his staff to rotate a few pictures and began a new explanation.
"Very good. From today onwards, you must remember your own magic category and determine your direction of study. You should all know about the Truth of Magic Restriction, right?" Professor Odum pulled out a picture from the screen. It was the ranking of the six major categories. "Offensive Magic, Strengthening Domain, Auxiliary Magic, Universal Magic, Summoning Magic, Mystical Mage. This is the ranking. For a mage, in theory, they can learn all six major categories of magic, but if they don't have the corresponding basic runes, the effect of the magic they cast will be greatly reduced.
"Take the most common auxiliary magic, for example. If you're an auxiliary mage, then when you cast auxiliary magic, the effect will be 100%, and then the other spells will be reduced by 20%. For example, Universal Magic and Strengthening Domain will be 80%, Summoning Magic and Offensive Magic 60%, and Mystical 40%."
A series of data appeared on the screen. Li Xiang understood. No wonder mages specialized in one category of magic. Even if they occasionally learned other categories, they didn't dabble too deeply into them. It was fine as long as they had enough.
After all, this decreasing effect was too damaging. If you put in the same amount of effort, or even more, the effect would be greatly reduced.
The time you wasted on other categories of magic could be used on your main category.
After all, for a mage, time was everything.
Li Xiang immediately realized that magic-type mages couldn't learn offensive magic!
Seeing the change in his expression, Professor Odum nodded and continued, "Just as the Truth of Magic Restriction says, magic-type and offensive mages can't learn each other's magic. In the world of mages, the common explanation is that these two types of magic are the most variable and have the highest upper and lower limits. Thus, the truth restricts them. Otherwise, there would be a serious imbalance. For example, in Mystical Magic, there is black magic that forcibly increases the power of magic. When a Mystical Mage can simultaneously explode with power not weaker than that of an offensive mage, it's abnormally terrifying! "
Offensive magic meant the strongest combat power, and Mystical magic meant the greatest variable.
Li Xiang's biggest impression of mages was that they each had their own role, and each had their own advantages and disadvantages.
"Since we're talking about this, I'll just briefly introduce the six major categories of magic." Professor Odum coughed. This was supposed to be the content of future classes for mages, but it was fine to mention it in advance.
"Offensive magic, as the name suggests, increases the offensive attribute of all magic, and offensive mages are also known as the strongest combat power among players. Strengthening magic can abnormally strengthen all kinds of things, with outstanding buffs and debuffs. It's very powerful when used in conjunction with offensive mages. Support magic is the upgraded version of many support magic, and those who understand support magic should be familiar with this category. General-Purpose magic is the same. General-Purpose magic isn't used much in actual combat, but it's very widespread in other fields. These mages are commonly known as' human engineers. 'Summoning-Type magic doesn't need much explanation. Lastly, Mystical magic …"
At this point, Professor Odum glanced at Li Xiang.
