Chapter 3327: The Opportunity for Perfecting Mind Magic

Although the Twisted Phantom has many inconveniences, the fact that a unified consciousness can give birth to Psionic Ability is enough to make those sentient beings without Psionic Ability feel envious.

Xia Duo is one of them; although his original intention in integrating his subconscious and conscious mind was not to obtain Psionic Ability, after seeing such a magical creature as the Twisted Phantom, he developed a very strong premonition, which is—

Once he completes the integration of his subconscious and conscious mind, or even just reaches a certain degree of progress in the integration, there is a high probability that he will be able to obtain his own Psionic Ability!

Although such Psionic Ability is fundamentally different from that of a Psionic Mage, it is still Psionic Ability after all; if nothing else, possessing Psionic Ability would at least allow him to directly perceive some shallow thought activities of others, just like hearing a sound.

Or rather, the thought activities of sentient beings are inherently and continuously radiating outward, but under normal circumstances, no one can interpret the information from those radiating thought activities.

In addition, one can also refer to the Psionic Mage; although there are essential differences between the abilities of the two, their forms of expression are very similar, and the experience of Psionic Mages can be fully borrowed to develop Psionic Ability.

Netherese Mages generally divide spells into three major categories: Creation, Alteration, and Mind, but most Netherese Mages usually only come into contact with the first two categories, and rarely come into contact with Mind spells.

On one hand, it is true that Netherese Mages place great importance on individual privacy and will instinctively reject such spells; even if they happen to collect them, they usually will not disclose them to others.

The only Mind spells that Netherese Mages are willing to disclose to others are mostly Mind Protection Spells, and Mind Amulets developed based on such spells have almost become standard equipment for every Netherese Mage.

If one does not master Mind spells, buying a Mind Amulet can also be considered a form of comfort.

Of course, if there are spellcasters of this era who can live to the present, they would also know about Dragon Magic.

And Primitive Sorcery, which is an ancient magic system still used by human tribes on the Langas Plain today, is actually also Arcane Magic, or at most, it is developing toward Arcane Magic.

Nowadays, I am afraid that only in the Projection Plane or the Cloud City of Mu'er, which the Ancient Winged Elf crashed long ago, is it possible to preserve the Dragon Magic of the Dragon Era of the Main Plane.

……

In fact, if all mages on the Main Plane were given a choice to transform into a Golden Dragon and join the Holy Golden Dragon Empire, I am afraid that at least half of the mages would choose to join.

It is just that those immigrant Elves were refugees, and both their population scale and power were at their lowest point; they still needed to integrate with the native Elves to finally defeat the dragons and become the protagonists of the new era.

Since the Nether Scroll was completed before the Dragon Era, there is no Dragon Magic in the Nether Scroll, but Xia Duo has seen a true Ancient Elf who lived from the end of the Dragon Era to the present in the Feres Fortress in the far north.

Of course, because it possesses quite distinct Bloodline Magic characteristics, it is still regarded as an independent magic system, but in terms of broad categories, it can be classified as Arcane Magic just like Netheril Magic and Elven Magic.

This is perhaps the main reason why the Elves were able to defeat the dragons; there is no other reason, the immigrant, advanced, and perfected Elven Magic is simply like a cheat, and the dragon civilization that had just developed on this plane was, if not vulnerable, at least not as powerful as their physical manifestations suggested.

Of course, on the side of Arcane Magic, it is a process of integrating the advantages of other magic systems and constantly strengthening itself.

If Mind Magic can be perfected, it can also play a role in promoting the development of Arcane Magic, similar to the concept of integrating Arcane Magic proposed by Psionic Magic.

Netheril Magic and Elven Magic should be classified as Arcane Magic in a broad sense, or analogous to the Natural Magic of natural science; it is a type of magic that started from various natural phenomena in the natural world, studying natural laws and applying them.

And on the Elves' side, Mind spells are also a very niche category, and it goes without saying after being passed on to humans; they cannot even form a complete system.

Because what is being studied is the world itself, many magic systems were not Arcane Magic at first, but they would eventually turn to the field of Arcane Magic, such as the Bloodline Magic of Calimshan in the south.

As for whether to start a new era, Xia Duo himself feels it does not matter; if he had transmigrated into the Holy Golden Dragon Empire, then transforming into a Golden Dragon would not be a bad thing, but now that he has transmigrated to the Main Plane, he naturally feels that dragon rule is not good.

Another reason for the scarcity of Mind spells is that the human race does not possess innate talent for Psionic Ability, and almost all Mind spells come from the Elves or the innate spells of ancient special races recorded in the Nether Scroll.

If they had come to conquer during their prime, I am afraid there would be no need for any long-term war; perhaps one battle would have been enough to suppress the fledgling dragon civilization of this plane.

Rather than being classified into the Netheril Magic system and becoming an incongruous existence.

The dragon race of the Main Plane has already become almost like domesticated beasts; although they still possess wisdom, their magical inheritance has long been broken. If one insists on saying that Dragon Mages exist, they are 100% learning Elven Magic, or rather, it is intentionally strengthened by the Elves.

Of course, times have changed, and the Elves have long since integrated into the Main Plane and become true local Elves. Moreover, it is undeniable that the arrival of those immigrant Elves has also opened up an acceleration zone for the civilization development of the Main Plane.

In addition to the magic systems that still remain in the current era, the Nether Scroll also records more magic systems that are still in their infancy, more than half of which are Primitive Sorcery; only those special races would start from other magic.

Others, such as the Dragon Magic of the Holy Golden Dragon Empire, are also a type of Arcane Magic, while the magic used by the dragon race of the Main Plane still remains at the level of Bloodline Spell; the very few who might have learned Elven Magic do not count.

Through simple analysis, one can know that although the dragons of that period on the Main Plane had already formed a civilization, the development of magic still relied more on instinct and had not yet had time to develop into a perfect system.

With Psionic Magic as a reference, it is easy for Xia Duo to make an inference, which is that Mind spells, or Mind Magic, are also enough to form a system of their own and become an independent magic system.

And Psionic Magic is something completely different from Arcane Magic. Although the Psionic Magic of Zhamu Dasi has developed to this day and has begun to seek room for progress in the real world, its essence is still not reality.

Human mages would likely choose to join nine times out of ten; only Elven mages who have already formed a main ethnic consciousness might resist transforming into a Golden Dragon. Human mages really do not care.

And he also received a gift of part of the other party's memory; although it was mainly related to the Dragon Madness Mythallar, it also had information related to Dragon Magic, and even the coordinates of the Elves' old home.

Or rather, Psionic Mages prefer to use reality to fill their illusory Mental Image World, rather than completely integrating into reality.
