The Mage Tower is where mages live and practice, but it has more than just these two functions.
In addition to being the residence of mages, a wizard's tower often also has many functions such as attack, defense, library, laboratory, etc. It is not just a building built by mages, but more like a large-scale magic prop.
Generally speaking, mages will carve different magic patterns on various parts of the mage tower to give it special abilities.
Magic patterns refer to various special symbols with different effects. Combining these symbols forms common magic circles, and the act of engraving these magic patterns on weapons or props is called enchantment.
The location of the mage tower is also very particular. For example, a mage who specializes in fire will build a mage tower in a place with abundant fire elements. This is not only beneficial to cultivation, but also the fire magic will be amplified in such an area.
Most mages would choose to build their own mage towers in open and uninhabited places. If the selected location is within the territory of a certain lord, the mage must first obtain the approval of the local lord, otherwise the lord has the right to order the tower to be demolished.
Of course, considering that the mages who have the ability to build a mage tower are all very powerful, unless the location of the mage tower is special, the lords will generally not reject the construction application.
They would even be happy that a powerful wizard would settle in their territory, because once the wizard tower was built, it meant that the wizard would reside there permanently. If the territory encountered any danger, the owner of the wizard tower would definitely help.
The shapes of wizard towers vary from one to another. Their appearance and functions depend on various factors, such as building materials, floor area, internal facilities, etc. Different wizards have different ideas about their own wizard towers.
If you want to build a powerful wizard tower, first of all, money is indispensable, and secondly, the wizard's own knowledge and ability.
As the mage's future home, it would be best if it could be built entirely by oneself. If help from others is needed, the design of the mage tower will undoubtedly be partially exposed.

Field took Gu Shi out of the college and came to a house in the city.
Gu Shi looked at the surroundings in confusion. Although the decoration of this house was extremely exquisite, it obviously did not match Gu Shi's understanding of the Mage Tower.
After walking for a while in the house, Gu Shi finally couldn't help asking, "Teacher, where is this place?"
Field introduced Gu Shi, "This is my property in Congleton. There's a teleportation array inside that takes you directly to my Mage Tower. I usually stay in the Mage Tower except when I have classes."
As a ninth-rank mage, Field did not teach in the academy for a long time. Except for an elective course he took in the first year he entered the academy, he only gave lectures in the academy when he was free.
The frequency has been maintained at about once a month recently. Sometimes when he is in seclusion, he may not show up in the academy for a whole year.
Field continued, "You will be able to use this house as you wish, and the same goes for my other properties. I will have told the others about this."
"Okay, thank you, teacher."
Gu Shi did not refuse. It would be more accurate to say that refusing would have been the wrong thing to do. After he and Field became master and apprentice, their relationship would naturally become closer. Field was expressing his closeness to him.
"We're here."
Field led Gu Shi to the innermost room of the house, where a teleportation array was drawn on the ground.
"Have you memorized the route we took? Your classes at the academy haven't finished yet, so stay there for now and come back to my place when you're free. Oh, and remember to give me a copy of your class schedule next time you come."
Gu Shi nodded, "I remember. Got it. I'll bring my class schedule next time."
Field handed Gu Shi a silver-white rectangular token, "Keep this. This token is like an identity identifier. Only when you carry it with you and activate the teleportation array will you be transported to the Mage Tower.
Without it, your landing point is completely random, anywhere in the sky or on the sea, and whether you can survive depends on luck."
Gu Shi played with the token for a while and asked, "Can I put it in the space?"
Field replied: "No one has ever tried this before. You'd better take it with you."
Seeing Field walk into the teleportation array, Gu Shi also stood up.
Field asked Gu Shi to pay attention to his movements. "As long as you step down hard on the middle part of the teleportation array, you can successfully activate it."
A flash of white light and they appeared in a spacious hall.
Gu Shi looked around curiously. The decoration style of the Mage Tower was always luxurious and exquisite, and the space here was much larger than he had imagined.
"This is the fifth floor, the resting place. Your room is over there, do you want to go and take a look?" Field pointed to a door on Gu Shi's left.
Gu Shi didn't expect that Field had already prepared a room for him in the Mage Tower, "Okay."
The room inside the door is spacious and simple, with everything already prepared. The tables, chairs, beds and cabinets are all brand new, just waiting for the owner of the room to move in.
Field asked, "How is it? If there's anything you don't like, just tell me."
Gu Shi looked at the things in the room and replied with a smile: "No, thank you, teacher, I like it very much."
"That's good."
Field continued to introduce the Mage Tower to him, "The second floor is the library, the fourth floor is the training room, and the sixth floor is the research room. As for other places, you can learn more about them later.
In this tower, you can walk freely except for the rooms I sealed with magic. There are many of my experimental subjects in the laboratory, so you'd better not touch them..."
Gu Shi listened carefully to Field's words and kept them in mind to prevent himself from having any accidents in the Mage Tower in the future.
After briefly introducing the internal structure of the Mage Tower, Field looked at Gu Shi and said, "Okay, the main purpose of today is to show you the way, so I won't assign you any additional tasks.
But starting next month, I will arrange some things for you to do. I am telling you in advance so that you can be mentally prepared. Remember to come to my place when you are on vacation this month."
Gu Shi replied: "Okay, teacher, I will try my best."
Gu Shi did not object to Field assigning him tasks. As long as it was beneficial to him, he would accept it.
Field was very satisfied with Gu Shi's answer. Then he took Gu Shi to the place where they had just been teleported and introduced to him how to use the teleportation array.
Because this teleportation array is connected not only to the teleportation point in Congleton, but also to several points in other cities, its activation mechanism is different from the other side.
It needs to select the desired teleportation point on the teleportation array console in order to go to the correct place, otherwise it will be teleported to the last teleportation location by default.
