Chapter 3328: The Final Probing

————It will be later~~

Although the Twisted Phantom has many inconveniences, the unified consciousness can give birth to Psionic Ability, which is enough to make those Wisdom-possessing creatures without Psionic Ability feel envious.

Xia Duo is one of them; although his original intention for Integrated Subconscious and Conscious was not to obtain Psionic Ability, after seeing such a magical creature as the Twisted Phantom, he had a very strong premonition, which is—

Once he completes the integration of the subconscious and conscious, or even just reaches a certain degree of progress in the integration, he will highly likely be able to obtain his own Psionic Ability!

Although such Psionic Ability is essentially different from that of a Psionic Mage, it is still Psionic Ability after all. To say 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 Wisdom-possessing creatures are inherently and continuously radiating outward; it is just that under normal circumstances, no one can interpret the information of those radiating thought activities.

In addition, one can also refer to Psionic Mages. Although there is an essential difference between the abilities of the two, their forms of expression are very similar. 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. However, most Netherese Mages usually 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 attach great importance to individual privacy and will instinctively reject this type of Spell; even if they happen to collect them, they usually will not disclose them to the outside.

Of course, surely no Spellcaster of this era could live until now, and also know about Dragon Magic.

Instead, it is classified into the Netheril Magic System, becoming a neither-fish-nor-fowl existence.

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

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

That is to say, those incoming Elves were refugees themselves; whether in terms of group scale or power, they were at their lowest point, and they still needed to integrate with the local Elves to finally defeat the dragons and become the protagonists of the new era.

If they had come to conquer in their prime, I am afraid there would be no need for any long-term war; perhaps one battle could have suppressed the dragon civilization that had just started on this Plane.

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

Nine out of ten human Mages would likely choose to join; only Elf Mages who have already formed a main ethnic consciousness might resist transforming into a Golden Dragon. Human Mages really do not care.

As for whether to start a new era, Xia Shao 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. Now that he has transmigrated into the Main Plane, he naturally feels that dragon rule is not good.

The only Mind Spell that Netherese Mages are willing to disclose to the outside is probably the Mind Protection Spell; the Mind Amulet developed based on this type of Spell has almost become standard equipment for every Netherese Mage.

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 on the Main Plane still remains at the level of Bloodline Spell, excluding the very few who might have learned Elven Magic.

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

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.

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

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

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

This is perhaps the main reason why the Elves were able to defeat the dragons. There is no other reason; the incoming advanced and perfect Elven Magic was simply a cheat. The dragon civilization that had just developed on this Plane was not exactly "vulnerable" in front of a true Magic civilization, but at least it was not as powerful as their physical forms suggested.

The dragon race on the Main Plane has already become nearly like domesticated beasts. Although they still possess Wisdom, their Magic inheritance has long been broken. If one insists that Dragon Mages exist, they are 100% learning Elven Magic, or rather, it is the Elves who are intentionally strengthening them.

And on the Elves' side, Mind Spells are also a very niche category. Needless to say, when passed to humans, they cannot even form a complete system.

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

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 relied more on instinct and did not have time to develop into a perfect system.

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

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

Of course, times have changed; the Elves have long since integrated into the Main Plane and become bona fide local Elves. And it is undeniable that due to the arrival of those incoming Elves, an acceleration zone was also opened for the civilization development of the Main Plane.

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, for example, the Bloodline Magic of Calimshan in the south.

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

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

……

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

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