The fact that there is no complete inheritance is really annoying.
Strictly speaking, Su Ziyu currently only possesses three specialized abilities to enhance his psychic powers, namely [Electromagnetic Induction], [Telekinesis Mastery], and [Telekinesis Burst].
The last of these, a specialty in enhancing psychic powers, was something he learned from his daughter.
This ability is a gift from the pan-consciousness of the wasteland plane.
After carefully reading the information sent to him by the space-time guardian named Stephen, Su Ziyu finally realized how incompetent he was as a demigod, because the expertise he possessed might not even be as good as that of an ordinary legendary spellcaster. The most fundamental factor that determines a spellcaster's ability is the ability to master various specialties. Some spellcasters don't even advance for decades, just to lay a solid foundation and master the expertise of advanced spells, such as instant and silent casting.
The same principle applies to melee professionals, who even need to master more expertise.
This is also the important reason why professionals who come from self-taught backgrounds are so much worse than those with formal inheritance.
"no."
"I must improve my own expertise." The more Su Ziyu read, the more he broke out in a cold sweat. After all, he had only been advanced for too short a time. He had no comparison before and thought that as long as his psychic level was high enough, his strength should not be too bad. However, after comparing with those who inherited the real arcanist heritage, he realized how far behind he was.
Take the skill of casting spells for example, Su Ziyu has always been accustomed to gathering huge amounts of energy to directly cause huge damage.
This is indeed true.
Psionic spells such as the lightning spear require enormous amounts of energy to cast, and the damage they cause is also very alarming. In many worlds, this is a habit of people, but in the arcanist's spellcasting system, this technique is a mistake, an extremely extravagant and wasteful behavior.
The arcanist's spellcasting skills place great emphasis on [Spell Penetration]!
In other words, they don't care about quantity, they only care about quality. As long as qualitative change can occur, the amount of energy is not important. The amount of energy itself provides support for qualitative change.
"A spellcaster without sufficient spell penetration is useless. - Stephen.)
Arcanists are extremely stingy with their own mana. If they were in a world without the Weave, they might relax their control over energy a little. But if they are in a world with the restrictions of the Weave and have to rely on spell slots to cast spells, Arcanists are extremely stingy with their own mana to an outrageous degree. They even remember the consumption required for a level 0 trick.
It's just that exaggerated.
They will never cast a 2nd level spell on an enemy that can be dealt with with a 1st level spell.
They don't care about the power of the spells, but rather whether their spells can effectively break through the enemy's defenses. Therefore, some powerful arcane masters have even developed special spells below level 4 that can break through the energy protection field of the gods' [Saint Form]. Theoretically, as long as there are enough casters who master these spells, even if their abilities are very low, they can still successfully kill gods under certain circumstances.
This is the difference in concept between Su Ziyu and them.
Su Ziyu pays the most attention to quantity, and hopes that quantitative change will lead to qualitative change, while arcanists care about quality, and hope to use the minimum amount of energy to cause qualitative change, save their own consumption, and maximize the power of spells.
Only when necessary will arcanists cast forbidden spells that require enormous amounts of energy to unleash.
For example, there is a forbidden spell called 'Eternal Blazing Sun'.
——"Spell Penetration [Psionic Energy]: A special ability transformed from the spellcasting techniques of the Arcane Empire. It uses one's own spirit to condense energy, improves the penetration of all types of spells, and adds extra damage to force field protection spells. Strengthening consumes 5 points of source power."
——"Psychic Energy Reshaping [Feat]: Reshape the external manifestation of psychic energy to perform manipulations such as gathering, diffusing, and compressing. This requires a certain amount of mental strength and analytical ability as support. Strengthening consumes 5 points of source power."
——"Spell Enhancement [Psychic Power]: Strengthens spells of the mind, element, sound wave, etc. to a certain extent, increases the energy consumed by 50%, and increases the power of the spell to a certain extent. Strengthening consumes 5 points of source power."
——"Spell Extreme Effect [Psychic Power]: Compress and expand spells of the mind, element, sound wave and other categories to the extreme, increase the energy consumed by 100%, and greatly increase the power of the spell. Strengthening consumes 5 points of source power."
——"Mind Penetration [Psychic Power]: Greatly improves the penetration ability of one's own mind-type spells, and gains additional power of one's own mental will when casting mind-type spells. Strengthening consumes 5 points of source power."
The source of energy stored by Su Ziyu was completely consumed in an instant.
At this time, in the cabin of the spacecraft, Su Ziyu's figure was floating in the air, and in his palm there was a ball of swirling golden lightning. The lightning began to gradually gather and slowly formed a spherical lightning. When the energy was further compressed, its essence seemed to be liquefied. It looked like a ball of highly concentrated golden plasma. Huge amounts of energy were gathered in it. As long as Su Ziyu was not careful, this golden sphere could instantly blow through the entire spacecraft.
"So that's it!" Su Ziyu slowly opened his eyes.
He was not in a hurry to look at the highly compressed psychic lightning in his hand, but turned to look at the spacecraft's electrical appliances on the side.
The biggest difference from the past is that in the past, whenever Su Ziyu used psychic lightning, it would cause huge damage to nearby circuits and electrical appliances. He even accidentally caused a blackout in Tokyo in the plane of the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons. Back then in the underground fortifications of the empire, his lightning spear almost paralyzed one-third of the base's circuits.
This certainly has some effect in combat, but it is an uncontrollable behavior.
This means that Su Ziyu's mastery of psychic lightning is not enough. Although the energy released is huge, he cannot accurately control it within the range he wants. The escaped lightning will inevitably cause other effects. Even in the state of psychic overload, anyone who touches him will suffer serious electric shock damage.
However, this situation has been effectively controlled now. The most intuitive manifestation is that Su Ziyu gathered a substantial ball of lightning, and the circuits and electrical appliances on the spacecraft were not affected at all. He strengthened five or six passive expertise abilities in one go, among which the expertise of psychic reshaping had the greatest impact on him, directly improving his ability to control spells by a large margin.
This is the arcanist's path to enhancement. They attach great importance to their own expertise. A qualified arcanist would be useless if he cannot master the abilities of instant casting of tier 1-9 spells, legendary spell penetration, legendary magic reshaping, high-level spell sequencing, etc.
Then he is not a true arcanist.
Although the psionic powers of the Suzi fish are slightly different from their arcane magic, the essence of spellcasting is still the same.
Why is the lightning spear of Sun King Gwyn so powerful?
It becomes much weaker when it comes to him?
I'm afraid it's not just because of the difference in divine power between the two sides, there's also a huge gap in their understanding and mastery of spells. In the words of the arcanist, that's because young man, you don't have enough expertise.
As long as you have enough expertise, not to mention making the lightning spear split into more than ten lightning spears when attacking, even making the lightning spear make eighteen bends on the mountain road after it leaves your hand will not be a problem.
Crackling.
Along with strands of jumping golden arcs, the spherical lightning in Su Ziyu's palm gradually floated up and began to fly slowly around him.
This is a special technique called [Ao Huo].
Arcane Fire is a supernatural ability, so it can penetrate all spell resistance.
Arcanists gather pure raw energy into a ball of crimson flame energy, and release it directly to cause huge damage. But arcane fire does not only refer to pure flame energy, any form of energy can be compressed and gathered in the form of arcane fire. In ancient times, arcane masters would use this method to practice their skills in controlling energy. Some great arcane masters even directly gather various forms of energy balls around their bodies, and they keep them running regardless of daily activities or battles. When necessary, they can activate the arcane fire to cause huge damage, or provide themselves with some kind of energy blessing.
This ball of golden lightning slowly rotated around the perilla fish at a distance of about twenty centimeters.
When Su Ziyu raised his palm and tried to gather the second golden ball of lightning, before the second ball of lightning took shape, the first ball of lightning already showed signs of instability. Scared, he quickly dissipated the energy and tried his best to maintain the operation of the first ball of lightning.
"Aohu?" The blonde angel Shar looked up with interest and exclaimed: "I didn't expect you to master it so quickly."
"Master Stephen's disciples also like to use this method to practice their skills."
While controlling the movement of the golden lightning ball, Su Ziyu turned around and said, "Really? This technique doesn't seem to be easy to master."
"You'll get used to it slowly." The blonde angel crossed her legs and looked Su Ziyu up and down. Her eyes fell on the golden lightning that gathered in his body. Her pupils shrank slightly. The energy gathered in it was a bit shocking. She said softly, "It's a pity that you are a psychic. It would be much easier if you could use ice and fire energy to train at the beginning."
Su Ziyu nodded slightly and asked curiously, "The information says that you must be able to control nine energy balls at the same time to be qualified."
"I wonder how many Sir Stephen can control?"
It's not that he is too ambitious, Su Ziyu is just simply curious about how powerful the Guardian of Time and Space is. This kind of arcane fire training technique can show the essence of a spellcaster's mastery of energy.
When one reaches the level of controlling nine energy balls simultaneously, the single elemental energy can be reorganized, split, gathered and compressed at will.
It can be said that arcanists at this level are already able to create their own spells.
"Sir Stephen?" The blond angel Shar closed his eyes and recalled for a moment, then raised his eyebrows and said, "Normally, there are probably only a little over a hundred, right? He rarely uses this technique himself, and only occasionally uses it when instructing his disciples."
"When necessary."
"Their number will probably be like the stars in the sky. He has only used this ability once when facing an ancient evil creature."
Su Ziyu suddenly fell silent.
He looked down at the golden lightning ball hovering in his palm, and suddenly didn't want to talk anymore.
"We're almost there." Queen Isabella's footsteps were heard.
She stepped gently into the cabin, glanced at the blond angel, and said to Su Ziyu, "I'm afraid this spaceship can't avoid radar. We have to find a place to land first."
