Tricks are actually a transition to true magic. Before the magic circuit is fully constructed, what is activated by the incomplete magic circuit is a trick.
Its effect is roughly equivalent to a momentary flash of light from a flashlight, a small flame ignited by a lighter, or moving a one-kilogram object out of thin air. The effect is pitifully weak, and its coolness is not even as good as magic.
Wu Yu definitely wouldn't be interested in magic tricks. As a genuine first-tier mage, Wu Yu wouldn't painstakingly inscribe magic circuits in his brain step by step; he planned to complete the inscription today.
The book "Tricks Explained" also contains complete magic circuits, though not many, but enough for Wu Yu to choose from.
It's worth noting that a person's inherent attributes will limit the choice of magic circuits, but Wu Yu has an all-attribute constitution, so he doesn't need to worry about being restricted.
Wu Yu guessed that some large families must have their own unique magic circuits, which they use as a secret passed down within the family. Wu Yu said he was not envious at all.
Choosing the first magic circuit is actually very important. According to the book, a first-tier mage can only have one magic circuit. The number of magic circuits doubles with each tier increase, which means that a first-tier mage can only cast one spell at a time.
However, magic circuits are not immutable. As long as you have money, you can buy special potions to reset your skill points. Therefore, at low levels, some people even set up specific skills to win one-on-one battles, often catching their opponents off guard. However, this tactic is not something that ordinary people can afford to play.
The mage was indeed pitifully weak in the early game, but Wu Yu didn't intend to fight with magic. After prioritizing "coolness," Wu Yu quickly chose the magic circuit he wanted.
It's you I've decided on—[Fixed].
Having memorized the structure of the magic circuit, Wu Yu once again entered a meditative state.
As long as he doesn't absorb external magic for cultivation, his spiritual sea will always remain calm and undisturbed. Immersing his mind in it, Wu Yu tried to manipulate the spiritual energy in the pool as described in the book.
"Coo, coo."
Bubbles began to rise from the water, and then Wu Yu moved his mind, and a column of water shot into the sky, which was then condensed by Wu Yu into a fountain pen.
I tried it out first, just waving it around in the air.
The pen automatically absorbed the water from the pool, and the liquid flowed from the nib, leaving a crystal-clear trail in the air. However, the trail did not stay for long, as it did not form a perfect cycle. It quickly turned into drops of water and flowed back into the sea of the mind.
Wu Yu drew a few more strokes in the air, and when he felt he was familiar with it, he finally began to draw the magic circuit.
In fact, magic circuits are just three-dimensional images. The geometric shapes and lines are not too complicated. If Wu Yu were given a computer and a program to create 3D models, he would be able to arrange them clearly. But now he is required to draw purely by feeling, and even drawing a straight line is quite troublesome.
Each stroke, each line, is a process of building up proficiency.
Wu Yu devoted all his energy to painting. After an unknown amount of time, Wu Yu went from being able to draw a straight line crookedly to being able to draw a circle at will. This was a completely leap forward.
However, this could not continue any longer. Wu Yu looked at the spiritual energy in the pool with distress. So far, the water level in the pool had dropped by half. Although this water could be recycled, there would inevitably be some loss each time it was used. If this continued, once his spiritual energy was exhausted, he might even be in mortal danger.
Being a mage is indeed not easy. My initial plan to master magic circuits in one go was far too naive.
With a thought, Wu Yu broke out of his meditative state, and a feeling of fatigue immediately welled up inside him. However, he was going to rest soon anyway, so Wu Yu didn't care about it.
Wu Yu slowly opened his eyes.
"Hi."
A pretty face was almost pressed against his, coupled with this sudden scream.
Wu Yu was quite certain that he wasn't scared, but his body betrayed him by pulling back and lying down.
"Hehe, I've finally gotten my revenge." Violet clenched her little fist, revealing a wicked grin of triumph.
Wu Yu wasn't angry. He asked in a very casual tone, "How long have you been waiting for me?"
"It only took about half an hour. Hard work pays off, and my brother really didn't lie to me," Violet said proudly.
"Hey, your brother definitely didn't expect you to waste your patience on such trivial matters," Wu Yu muttered under his breath, then sat up straight. "Why did you come back? Didn't you say you were going to stay in the dormitory?"
"Because I need your help with something," Violet replied.
"What is it?" Wu Yu asked.
"Come on, let's eat first. You must be starving. Let's talk while we eat." Violet grabbed Wu Yu's arm and dragged him outside, not giving him a chance to ask any questions.
The tender, juicy meat is roasted to a golden brown and crispy perfection, coated with rich, fragrant juices that glisten under the light, releasing an irresistible aroma.
The vegetables are vibrant, red and green, shredded and arranged on the plate, looking exquisite and delicious.
I took a quick sip, and the juice seeped into my mouth, leaving a lingering fragrance.
The food was delicious and visually appealing; Wu Yu hadn't tasted such a sumptuous meal since he left Violet's castle.
What kind of day is it today that Violet would go out and buy such delicious food?
