"Mirror, candle" Negary was holding a mirror in his hand, standing in front of another mirror, with a single candle between him and the mirror.
The Droste effect was when a certain part of a picture was identical to the rest of the picture, creating an infinite loop.
In the mirror in front of Negri, there was a picture of Negri holding a mirror, but the mirror in Negri's hand was also reflecting everything, as long as one focused their attention on it, they would be able to see countless Negri holding a mirror.
The candle was flickering, and in this infinite loop of mirror images, it was as if there were countless candles flickering at the same time.
Of course, it was only as if. Light had its own speed, and it was difficult for two mirrors to be perfectly parallel, the intensity of light would also decrease as it traveled. Due to various factors, there was a limit to the number of images in a mirror.
Of course, this Droste effect was only created to put oneself in a certain state, making it easier to induce the existence of spirits.
Every living being was capable of producing spirits, but the majority of spirits would disappear as soon as they appeared. These spirits might be the inspiration of a certain person at a certain time.
For this reason, spirits here weren't simply referring to spirits, they were similar to souls, and could sometimes also be used as inspiration.
These spirits had almost no consciousness, they didn't have a personality of their own, they were merely the product of a person's thoughts becoming entangled with some sort of universal Principle. They were extremely unstable and could disappear almost instantaneously. There were similar entities in other worlds as well.
And the unique existence of spirits was a special product of the Moon Tree world, created because the seven Gods held the authority of the Moon Tree world, making it impossible for them to be used.
When a person's thoughts became entangled with a Principle, it would then fuse with the power of the world's Error, creating the spirits of this world.
The Evil Spirits of the Flame world were similar to the spirits of the Moon Tree world, both of them were born from the Error of the world, but there were also differences.
The Evil Spirits of the Flame world were born from remnant souls, while the spirits of this world were a bit stranger, as they were born from emotions and thoughts, which was why a living person could also give birth to spirits.
The reason why Evil Spirits obtained secondary abilities was because when a person died, their [Origin] left their body, leaving behind a portion of the [Origin]'s Principle and Principle due to their instability. As for the spirits of this world, they were born from entangling themselves with some sort of universal Principle in order to create unique abilities.
For example, when Ferde was born, it was entangled with the Laws of fear and truename, thus forming corresponding abilities.
Because of that, any type of Law that was entangled would form a corresponding ability. As Negary stared into the mirror, his thoughts were diverged from this near-infinite loop. At this very moment, every strand of his thought was constantly reflected in the mirror, receiving a false sense of magnification.
Most people could only place their hopes on luck. After all, the world's rules did not appear in the world. They could only rely on specific rituals to divert their thoughts to an unknown angle.
The candle in the mirror flickered crazily. The little dot of light seemed like it would be extinguished at any moment, but no matter how hard it shook, the candle did not go out.
Negri reached out his hand to feel the faint warmth of the candle. There was no wind, but the candle swayed even more exaggeratedly.
"Have you established a connection with a certain space?" Wind was not the only thing that could interfere with the burning of a candle, but when the candle flickered, it meant that the summoning ritual was close to success.
Negri's thoughts would follow the connection to an unknown place, entangling with the world's laws, and finally giving birth to a spirit.
Because of that, 'Negary' focused his attention even more on the reflections in the mirror. Their expressions were exactly the same as his, but all of a sudden, as if his vision was blurred, one of the reflections that had been circulating for who knew how many cycles suddenly changed.
The reflection was small to begin with. After a dozen or so cycles, a normal person would only be able to see a small black dot, but with the help of Mana, Negri could clearly see the slight change.
Then, the abnormal cycle continued, and the reflection became clearer and clearer. Finally, Negri saw himself in the mirror in front of him, and a strange smile appeared on his lips.
When Negri looked carefully, his reflection in the mirror returned to normal. Strangely, Negri felt that his body had become a little heavier.
Negri understood that the spirit had returned to his body.
According to the information in the Theory of Summoning Ritual, newly born spirits were weak. Even if they completed their entanglement with the laws, they could collapse at any time due to the unstable environment. They had to parasitize the body to obtain a certain degree of protection.
The Theory of Summoning Ritual clearly stated that it took time to give birth to a spirit. After the spirit was born, it had to be treated so that it could grow healthily. Apart from that, there was nothing else.
The book did not mention that spirits were the product of the world's errors. They had an innate hatred for life and would not care about the laws of the world. Most spirits did not do evil because they did not have the ability to do so.
That was why when they were weak, spirits would instinctively disguise themselves. They would be like docile little animals by your side, and when you provided them with power, the spirits would turn around and devour you. After all, replacing and guiding their true form was the most delightful thing for them.
Soon, Negri felt a child-like feeling. The little will seemed to be very dependent on Negri, living in Negri's body and constantly conveying to Negri that it needed to eat to grow.
"Spirits are the most beautiful things in the world." Thinking of a certain note in the Theory of Summoning Ritual, Negri shook his head. Spirits were born from one's own thoughts, so they had an instinctive understanding of themselves. They knew how to please you and how to make you like them.
Because it knew that Negri liked things that constantly grew stronger, this spirit also showed that it wanted to become stronger.
So it was not wrong to say that spirits were the most beautiful things in the world. Everyone had a different sense of beauty. Only you would understand your own appetite. Of course, this sentence had to be prefixed — when in disguise.
Only spirits in disguise were safe. Once they reached a certain level of strength, they would instantly turn hostile and kill you.
Negary's spirit sense quickly discovered the spirit residing in his body. At the moment, it was extremely weak, so it would take at least one to two years for it to fully mature. Of course, if it was placed in a unique environment, the spirit would grow exponentially.
For example, during the Mana Tide caused by the Mana Banquet, Ferde's spirit had grown strong enough that night, causing Ferde to fear it. It had killed Ferde and stolen its name.
Because of his relationship with the spirit, Negri easily knew the special ability it had obtained by entangling the world's laws. He could also use it.
