Lumian looked at the spirit creature he couldn't see at all, and thought for a moment:
"How complex can the most complex be, how powerful can it be?"
"Oh, I thought you would ask how to summon and how to perform ritual magic, but you want to know exactly how to use it!" Aurore immediately joked, "This may be the characteristic of the 'hunter' path, you don't need to understand the principle thoroughly, just consider how to use it."
Without waiting for Lumian to answer, she considered it and said:
"I tried, not too complicated, meaning it can only complete one action, not too powerful, meaning it does not exceed the measure of one spell of 'Wizard' in the sequence of 'Peeping'."
It's good to talk to Aurore about this, she has a habit of analyzing things qualitatively and quantitatively, unlike some people who like to describe things in vague and half-hidden language...... Lumian was quite emotional when he heard this.
Thinking about it, he got up and helped his sister get all the food to the table, and then asked while eating:
"But I remember that your spells often use materials, so you shouldn't be able to carry 'white paper', right?"
"Yes, this is very embarrassing." Aurore forked a piece of fried trout into his mouth, and waited for him to chew and swallow before saying, "Moreover, the spells of the 'wizard' are not completed by one action, the simplest is three, one is to concentrate on spirituality, the other is to outline the symbols of the corresponding spell in your mind, which can also be replaced by chanting spells aloud, and the third is to use materials to cast spells.
This does sound a bit complicated, unlike the "blank slate" of a single-celled organism...... Lumian felt that he couldn't do it for a while, and he had to go through a long period of training to become proficient in casting spells.
Aurore raised her eyes and swept him:
"Don't think about it, you can't be like me, one is that your sequence is limited and your spirituality is insufficient, and the other is that using materials to help cast spells is a unique ability that only 'wizards' have.
"However, when the 'hunter' reaches sequence 7, that is, becomes an 'arsonist', he can use a lot of fire-related spells, and he doesn't need materials, he doesn't need to outline symbols or chant spells in his mind, in terms of actual combat, this is faster, more convenient, and maybe even more powerful.
Lumian said expectantly:
"I don't know when I will become an 'arsonist'......"
He plans to explore the Dream Ruins again tonight, one is to use the act of "hunting" to help the magic potion digest, and the other is to find clues to the main material of Sequence 8 "Provocateur".
As for the monster corresponding to the "arsonist", he didn't dare to think about it for the time being, thinking that he was sending himself to the door as a barbecue, after all, those guys would definitely be able to attack from a distance, making his "special" unable to be used.
He went on to say:
"The spell of 'Arsonist' seems to have only one action, so can the 'white paper' carry it?"
"Theoretically, yes, but I'm not sure if the 'Arsonist' spell has more than one measure." Auror's reference standard is "wizard".
Hearing this, Lumian was excited:
"If I can, then wouldn't I be able to simulate the floating cannon you mentioned, sister?"
"Huh?" Aurore was a little dazed for a moment.
Lumian explained in detail:
"I can summon a group of 'white papers', sign a contract with them, and then let each 'white paper' carry a fireball, and when the time comes, they will float in mid-air and attack the target together, isn't this very similar to the description of the floating cannon?"
"It's a pity that you can't have a group of 'blank papers' at the same time." Aurore laughed and said, "After signing a contract with a 'white paper', even if you use the original description summon next time, it will be the same blank paper."
"Can you summon one first, not sign a contract for the time being, and then summon another one until you summon a satisfactory number, and then sign a contract uniformly?" Lumian did not receive an orthodox education, but Aurore's private customization of his own ideas, coupled with the "tempering" of so many years of pranks, has always been open-minded.
"......" Aurore admitted that she was not such a scoundrel, she said after consideration, "I haven't tried it, I don't know if it's okay, try it yourself when you have sequence 7, but I think if there is a 'white paper' next to it, there should be a conflict when summoning other 'white papers', and it is unlikely to succeed.
Lumian made up his mind that he would definitely try it then, and he wouldn't lose anything anyway.
Aurore scooped up a little mashed potatoes:
"Now let's talk about how to summon spirit creatures, and this is an application of ritual magic.
"What is ritual magic? It is the magic that is performed by choosing the date and time, preparing the corresponding materials, and strictly following the format and process, which is often used in prayers and invocations."
Lumian nodded:
"Is it in the form of a ritual to achieve some kind of transcendent effect?"
He thought of the various ceremonies of the "Eternal Sun" church and the process of Lent celebrations.
"Yes." Aurore was very satisfied with his brother's ability to understand, "To put it simply, ritual magic has an object of prayer, which can be seven righteous gods, other hidden beings, even evil gods, demons, and even yourself. When you pray to the gods, you need to consult or choose the date and time they dominate, for example, when Tuesday is the symbol of the "Eternal Sun" and there is a corresponding sun every day, the ritual magic of praying to the "Eternal Sun" during these times will increase the probability of success a lot.
"But this is of little use, it is not an official extraordinary person, the probability of success in praying to the corresponding righteous god is very small, even if you get a response, don't be happy, it may mean that you are noticed by that person.
"Of course, we also have ways to bypass restrictions, for example, by obtaining an item that is closely related to the target deity.
"Praying to hidden beings, evil gods and demons doesn't require much time and day, but I don't need to say anything about the danger, right? Ninety-nine percent of people who do this don't end well.
"Therefore, for wild extraordinary people, the most commonly used ritual magic is to ask themselves to mobilize their spirituality to accomplish something more complicated."
"Making charms and extraordinary weapons?" Lumian thought of a knowledge point that the lady had mentioned.
Aurore nodded:
"Yes, some secret medicines also need ritual magic to cooperate.
"You said a little less, summon creatures in the spirit world."
She ate some more food before saying:
"The second step of ritual magic is to prepare the corresponding materials, and if you want to pray to any being, you can prepare herbs, essential oils, powders, hydrosols, etc. that can please him or her, or take the 'eternal sun' as an example, pray to him with 'sun' essential oil, rosemary powder, bergamot, various sunflowers, etc., and pray to yourself does not need to be too troublesome, although it is best to use materials from your own field, but a guy like you, you can put a glass of absinthe, and it is not a big problem not to put it.
"The third step is to arrange the altar, which can be determined by the circumstances, does not require special sacred solemnity, mainly no clutter.
"The most important thing on the altar is the candle......"
Aurore said as he picked up his knife and fork.
She stretched out the two items and said:
"Pretend they are candles, and make them with the corresponding symbolic materials if you pray to any god.
"Take 'Eternal Sun' as an example, His name has immortal light and order embodiment......"
Caution was the key, and Aurore paused for a few seconds before continuing:
"The god of contracts, the guardian of commerce."
"There should be the honorific title of 'Father of All Living Beings', right?" Lumian had heard many sermons.
Aurore shook her head:
"This is just a title commonly used in the propaganda of the 'Eternal Sun' church, and in the occult, 'Eternal Sun' is not enough to bear it.
She didn't say anything specific about what the big deal was, and it didn't seem to be too clear.
She brought the topic back on track:
"If you want to exorcise the undead, you must pray to the symbol of 'Unquenchable Light', so you have to make candles with various sunflowers, and correspondingly, if it involves a contract, use the honorific title 'God of Contracts' to make candles from materials such as bergamot, and more options can be found in my witchcraft notes.
"In a ritual magic, we only place two candles at most, because in the occult, 0 represents the unknown and chaos, symbolizing the beginning of the birth of the world, and not putting candles means that there will be no effect, 1 means the beginning, representing the original creator, and also representing the existence that can be accurately pointed to, 2 symbolizing the world and the gods born from the original creator, so ritual magic can only use two candles to represent the gods, which two symbols are used to symbolize the corresponding candles, It is decided based on the effect you want to achieve.
"3 indicates all things, so the third candle must be left to ourselves.
"In other words, the two candles on the upper level represent the gods, and the one candle in front of them corresponds to themselves, a total of three.
"If you have a certain god or an object that is closely related to a hidden existence, you can remove the two candles on the upper level and replace them with that one, which is called dualistic rituals.
"Pray to yourself and leave only the candle that represents yourself."
Lumian listened intently.
According to the woman, as a wild "hunter", the only thing he could use before knowing the great being was ritual magic that he could pray to himself, after all, he could not find items closely related to a certain god.
"Let me use summoning creatures in the spirit world as an example to demonstrate the next few steps to you." Aurore saw that his brother had also run out of dinner, so he stood up and said.
The two quickly cleaned up the dining table.
