Bizarre Realm-Chapter 186 - 20: The Practitioner—Shawn! Reshaping the Self_3
Wizards rely on activated knowledge, Mages rely on the Magic Net of the Forgotten Realm, and Arcanists rely entirely on their own abilities.
It’s just that simple!
The threshold for advancement to Arcanists among these three paths is the highest, requiring the most rationality. However, the mastery of spells is the same; it’s just that Arcanists do not rely on external aids to grasp the Law.
If it works, it works. If it doesn’t, it doesn’t. This is the Arcanist Path.
"Is it because there is no Magic Net to assist in casting that Mage legacies in the Bizarre Realm have transformed into the Wizard Path?"
"Activated knowledge is a tool that adapts to the Twisted Law, assisting in casting spells."
Shawn once again felt the tremor of knowledge.
He stopped writing, noting that the Extraordinary Essence in his mind was further transforming. Rational thinking was reshaping the Extraordinary Essence in his brain, turning the once chaotic and unordered mysterious knowledge into a gradually orderly way of operation.
"Useful."
"The Extraordinary Level of Wizards is transitioning to the Extraordinary Level of Arcanists."
"Then continue with the initial research."
"To dominate Primitive Magic Power with rational thinking, it’s natural to also fight with rational thinking."
"The Mana Pool is the root of everything."
"Casters are not Warriors; a Warrior can strike with strength, but if a Caster exhausts their Mana Pool, they are entirely at others’ mercy."
"This essentially is a more efficient use and allocation of one’s resources."
"To fight with absolute rationality, I need to have a very strong computational ability. In past battles, I hardly considered these, but tonight’s events were all within my detailed calculations. I even calculated in advance how to respond to the enemy when the Mana Pool is depleted."
"Arcanists do not believe in tears!"
"Every battle must be under the dominion and deduction of absolute rationality. My calculation of my own Mana Pool must be precise to the level of a 0-level cantrip; only then can I truly master the combat skills of an Arcanist."
"Always maintain relatively abundant resources; in the Bizarre Realm, sudden incidents are far too many."
"I have the Death Retrospect ability to preserve life."
"As long as I still have resources to respond, there is always a chance to turn the tables!"
The knowledge in his brain was gently trembling.
Unmoved, Shawn continued with his research notes. Today’s battle summary was just the beginning. He would always maintain rational thinking, practice his Path of Destiny in his own way, the way of an Earth person.
Aemon might not necessarily be right.
"I need not only the honing of battle but also vast research, to internally reshape cognition, analyze myself, and enhance capabilities, to externally hone skills, understand the world, and acquire more resources."
"I want to reshape my Casting Ability in the way of an Arcanist."
"I must master the vast majority of mysterious runes in the Bizarre Realm and cannot rely on activated knowledge to assist in casting at all." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞
"Arcanists only believe in their own abilities!"
The mind trembled.
Uncertain how long had passed.
When Shawn awoke from contemplation, mysterious knowledge had further reshaped, possessing more orderly rules—Level 2 Arcanist/Level 3 Wizard/Level 5 Mind Warlock.
The abilities gained from the Wizard Path are further transforming into the Arcanist Path.
The Law source of Extraordinary Essence is the same.
The biggest difference is the method of using this source of Law. Shawn knows he is on the right path.
