Chapter 112 – Volume 23 – Make Your Own Magic (2)
Looking through the book, I saw a lot of magic circles with mysterious designs in the module.
Occasionally, there were ordinary magic circles with modules inside, but most of them were more like geometric pictures mixed with magic letters.
Come to think of it, in order to handle magic really well, you have to draw well, and that’s because you can create such special magic.
‘The word is magic making, and it’s a way to make good use of magic that has already been created under the name of module.’
The reason why magic was shared in the form of a magic tower in the past was that people gathered to make the most of this system.
In the end, the Mage Tower disappeared and turned into an academy, but that was because communication became easier and the whole country became a single Mage Tower.
That’s why the magic tower was replaced with the academy, an institution capable of both mass production and research of wizards, in its current form.
The reason why this system was so effective is that after all, there are so many places where you can use just one magic.
On the contrary, it is easy to feel and find which module needs to be developed.
Rather than making magic as a whole, it was possible to develop magic in module units so that efficient research was possible.
Perhaps this is why the era has come when refrigerators and water supplies are all supplied with magic.
“Well, many wizards have been fighting over this method since ancient times. The act of seeing magic only as a tool, or a system like family magic that has been handed down like swordsmanship, requires a closed operation. Well, that’s what it is.”
Well, it can be seen that the creation itself is a property.
It must have felt unfair to have to share the magic he had created.
“Of course, as you may have heard, really difficult magic changes the magic circle in real time depending on the conditions. So it cannot be activated unless the person who devised it instinctively creates a line of magic.”
The level of using such unique magic was something that couldn’t be reached with this magic anyway.
It was said to be one of the factors that kept the mouths of those who insisted on closed magic back then.
Even in swordsmanship, the basic teachings are shared, and only in the final part they advance to family swordsmanship.
In magic, it was criticized that unique magic had already played the role of the final skill.
Even during the war, magic, one of the strategic weapons, was studied on a national basis.
It is said that all those who make such a claim have now been decapitated and no longer remain.
That’s a bit sad
“Some of the story has been omitted from the history explanation. Let’s learn how to properly use modules from now on.”
And the professor wrote down the numbers we know well from 0 to 9 in the air.
He pointed with his finger and asked.
“Have you ever used a number in a magic circle? Yes, no. Because those values always utilized the size of the magic letters in the magic circle.”
However, if you use that method, there is a problem of severely damaging the shape of the original every time you make a mistake.
There is a problem that it is difficult to easily modify or set an accurate value.
So, it is said that they have developed characters that can stably recognize numbers with the least conflict with magic characters.
“Since you’ve learned the letter of dots, you know. There’s no magic involved in putting a dot alone like this.”
So, with that dot in the middle, the number is recognized according to the number of strokes to the side.
Instead, the maximum number of strokes is 4, and if only dots are included, a total of 5 expressions are possible.
If you draw a circle outside in this state, the number is as high as 5.
Therefore, if the starting number is 0, then 10 numbers from 0 to 9 can be expressed.
“However, this was more convenient than the number technique of common languages, which used to distinguish numbers with existing pronunciation. It naturally spread to everyday life.”
The reason seemed to be that it was a simple letter that required only the number of strokes to be counted, without having to memorize specific meanings like magic letters.
So that number system, though it was created for magic.
It was the same as the number system we normally use, so there was no need to study additionally.
“Then, how do you utilize these numbers? The first thing that is used is the trigger of the module.”
The module consists of three components divided into trigger, main and return.
When the trigger condition is met and the pattern of magical energy is entered, the main registered number equal to the number registered in the trigger is activated.
And when all the tasks to be done are done, it goes to the return task and returns all the magic power used by the module and the magic is turned off.
‘As expected, isn’t this just coding with pictures?’
I think I could make a simple game with this magic.
While thinking about that, on the contrary, I thought that if you are familiar with this system, if you make a computer, the wizards will write the program for you.
It should be possible to make the language as similar to the magic circle’s module system as possible.
“So, if you fire the trigger with number 7 on it, the main with number 7 on it will fire?”
“Uh, you can put the trigger multiple times. Instead, if the main is already running, it will wait until it returns.”
Function names used in coding are distinguished by numbers here.
This definitely gave me a bit of a headache.
If it’s coding that I know, it’s easy to see if it’s organized by name, but here it’s just numbers.
“And this number is used in other ways besides that.”
When activating a module as a trigger, you can specify a specific value.
Through this, it is often designed so that the module can select the firepower or options that are activated.
It is said that this allows the same module to be used in multiple forms.
“For example, this module is a module that causes fire. You can designate a number from 0 to 9. If it is 0, only a slight warmth remains, and if it is 9, it burns with such a powerful flame because it has maximum firepower.”
Of course, even if you do this, the size of the magic letters is still an important factor because the maximum firepower is controlled by the size of the magic letters.
Anyway, after listening to the explanation, it didn’t seem that difficult to me, even if it was someone else.
When I was in college, I learned about the basics of coding, but it was at that level.
“Oh, it really works.”
After the lecture, I decided that I should practice.
Nia and I went back to the dormitory and started actually testing how this module magic worked.
Honestly, I feel like I’m practicing ‘Hello, world!’ Right now…
‘Still, there is the biggest difference from coding.’
Honestly, it’s a system that doesn’t even bother with complex coding.
Because every time you activate it, you have to redraw everything you made.
Increasing the amount of drawing for the sake of slight improvement is itself leading to the deterioration of magic.
It feels more like an ejection system that efficiently ejects specific magic.
“…This looks like a module that checks whether an egg has ovulated. Let’s try it.”
“Hey, hey!”
In a way, it provides practical information.
Anyway, it feels strange that magic like that is listed in Kang’s book.
However, because of Nia’s remark just now, the goal changed from practicing simple magic to discovering unusual magic.
“Was there any magic like this?”
It seems to be a magic that cleanses people’s skin very cleanly.
I wondered why I had to activate such a difficult module when I could just use water.
I nodded my head after seeing the advantage of not having soap in the explanation, cleaner than soap, and not even messing around like water.
‘Do wizards use it to clean their hands in secret?’
To be honest, I was a bit curious, so I tried using magic, but a transparent liquid appeared in the air.
He wrapped his hand around it and wriggled it away, wiping it away and disappearing in an instant.
Even though my hands were soft as if I had wiped them with a soapy towel, it was comfortable because there was no irritation to my skin much more than that.
“It’s good.”
The magic circle is quite complex, except that washing your hands at times like this is much faster.
To be honest, it’s economical to just draw one character of water and wipe your hands.
When are you drawing this?
“Hmm, that’s why you can’t even use record magic? The minimum firepower slightly exceeds what record magic can cover.”
“I see. Well, no matter how complex the magic circle is. If it had this function, it would have come out as a magic tool, but I wondered why it didn’t exist.”
First of all, I started thinking about using it on areas that are difficult to wash other than my hands.
The first thing that came to my mind was to clean my mouth with this, but when I actually tried it, the liquid tasted nasty as soon as it touched my tongue, and I almost vomited.
There was no residue left on the area after washing, so when I licked my hands, there was no taste or smell, so I thought it would be okay…
The next thing I came up with was to use it to wash my hair.
This has the disadvantage that the range supported by the module is so narrow that you have to repeat it while changing the location well several times.
I was still a man, so I somehow succeeded, but it was a difficulty that I would have given up immediately if it had been a woman with long hair.
It is difficult for long-haired women to wash and dry their hair, so using it on their hair would not make much sense.
“It’s a good place if you can clean it really clean without soapy water and irritation…”
A thought came to my mind, and I stared at Nia’s cute butt and thought of her.
…Does this sound like it?
