The mages of this world have never known the meaning of caution and moderation. Or perhaps they once knew, but later generations gradually became slaves to power, forgetting the hidden dangers of magic.
Agatha had seen the history of ten thousand years ago. Although the elves created a glorious civilization due to their unrestrained use of arcane energy, it also brought them great disasters.
The magic Agatha brought with her was far more dangerous than so-called arcane magic, a system that required careful use. It might be more powerful, more bizarre, but if it were to trigger a hidden danger, the resulting disaster, in Agatha's opinion, would be no less devastating than the one ten thousand years ago.
The value of this world is an incomparable treasure in the eyes of those dimensional demon gods. Once they get news of this world, they will probably find a way to find it at all costs.
Of course, Agatha also understood that Aegwynn would not teach the original magic system, but the system that had been modified and rebuilt by the two of them.
Simply put, the method is the same, but the direction of borrowing power is not directed towards the dimensions of those demon gods. After all, this world has no shortage of energy. Although these energies have their own properties and costs, compared to the energy of the master dimension, the cost and difficulty are greatly reduced.
This can be seen from the unexpectedly large number of mages here.
Although the group of mages in Dalaran have always believed that the requirements for becoming a mage are very harsh, in Agatha's opinion, the world she lives in is really harsh for mages!
Because if a wizard were to cause trouble in another world, it would truly bring a huge disaster to the world. In addition to having extremely high talent, one also needs to have a strong character.
The most important point is to obtain the approval of a relatively lawful demon god. Because the planet in her world does not have any high-dimensional spellcasting energy.
It was the so-called Asgard, whose magic system was also based on the power of the World Tree. And that energy, strictly speaking, was only a good source of auxiliary magic.
All in all, it is unfair to compare the two sides based solely on their casting environments.
Aegwynn's magic of improvement could indeed circumvent some problems, but ultimately, it was still a borrowing system. It was just a matter of ownership and non-ownership. But Agatha's philosophy of magic had always been that magic had a price! What this kind of magic of improvement cost, Agatha had no way of guessing.
The destruction of a plane?
Or an even more uncontrolled proliferation of magic?
Apart from the vague feeling of unease in her heart, Agatha could accept the price of someone verifying it for her in advance.
Aegwynn took out her improved magic system without reservation. In fact, she only took out the most core and basic part, which was how to borrow energy from the external space.
As long as there is energy, the wizard can cast spells.
If you lock the energy of this planet, then we can just extract it from another place. Mages are all smart people. Once they know the method, they will master it. Unless all the energy in the universe is locked, the mages here will no longer be restricted by energy.
Even the elven prince Kael'thas accepted and learned this magic system. He believed that this new magic system would bring a huge impact and transformation to existing magic. As the homeland of magic, the elves also needed this magic system.
After all, once he understood it, he would realize how powerful this system was. At the very least, he could use more energy when casting spells, and being able to use more energy meant he could unleash more powerful magic. This in turn increased his strength.
Once someone breaks down this method and explains it to them bit by bit, they will quickly grasp the essence of it, quickly get the hang of it, and develop a certain level of combat effectiveness.
Unfortunately, not everyone could successfully use this magic system. Even for Dalaran's top mages, they faced great difficulties and obstacles in fully unleashing the power of this magic system.
It has nothing to do with them themselves, but it has a lot to do with the barriers in this world.
The barrier set up by the creation Titans has allowed this planet to evolve safely to this day. Although the barrier has some holes due to an incident ten thousand years ago, it is still the planet's greatest protection measure.
It can block many dangers from outside the starry sky for the life on this planet, just like an unbreakable turtle shell.
There was no problem in the past, but according to the new magic system, if you want to maximize the effect and power of the new magic system, then this protective shell will become an invisible obstacle for mages.
Not everyone can bypass the barrier like Aegwynn and other great wizards and have the ability to explore beyond the domain.
"The cost and hidden dangers may be the erosion and influence of different magical energies on people." After understanding this magic system, Antonidas quickly realized the danger of this magic with his own experience and Aegwynn's reminder.
Previously, arcane and elemental energies were used, but this new magic system now offers a wide variety of magical energies. Even dangerous energies like shadow and fel energy will inevitably be encountered and borrowed by mages. At this time, the spirit and will of the postgraduate entrance examination candidates have arrived.
Although Aegwynn and Agatha provided some techniques for filtering and converting energy, such knowledge was too profound and complicated. It was hard to say whether there were any mages who wanted to take shortcuts, ignore these filtering and conversion techniques, and directly borrow energy and use it.
As Aegwynn and the others had warned, this reckless borrowing of energy would inevitably lead to enormous trouble in the future! The only way to temporarily mitigate the impact was for the archmages of the Council of Tirisfal to first find a plane with abundant energy, transform it into an energy source, and allow subsequent mages to borrow energy using coordinate magic and spatial magic.
When the energy of one plane is exhausted, switch to another.
But it takes time to study this matching magic.
In particular, if the locked lock is opened in the future and everything returns to normal, will their actions of mobilizing such a large number of people and investing huge resources and manpower face some doubts?
Antonidas and other archmages were having a hard time figuring this out. But if they wanted to restore the magical prowess of their high-ranking members, they had no choice but to firmly choose the new magic system.
…
Stratholme.
"Do you really need to leave?" Uther looked at Luo Bihua and the Windrunner sisters as they came to say goodbye, his face darkening. While these elves were overly proud, they had certainly been of great assistance in Stratholme. Even his escape from the orc camp was thanks to the Windrunner sisters' help.
Right now, every bit of power in Stratholme was crucial, and Grand Mage Luo Bihua offered answers to many difficult questions. Honestly, Uther didn't want him to leave just yet.
"I don't think so, but the situation on His Majesty Anasterian's side is not good. The orcs have occupied the Sunwell with an unknown creature and turned the surrounding area into a poisonous zone. I must go to Dalaran next to meet the archmages and Prince Kael'thas there." Luo Bihua shook her head helplessly.
"We can't help much here. You've handled everything well. Whether I leave or not won't have any impact for now. Besides, isn't that Kel'Thuzad the Mage coming soon? I believe he can take my place here."
Uther also read the letter that the elven messenger delivered to Luo Bihua. The situation the elves were facing was indeed very bad. If they could not find a way to contain the giant beast and the poisonous cloud it created, then soon, even if the elves were reluctant, they would have to leave their homes again and find a new gathering place.
Under such circumstances, it was difficult for Uther and his teacher to persuade Luo Bihua to stay. The only pity was that, even with Luo Bihua's help, they still had not found the dangerous plague beast.
In the face of advanced magic, especially the inability to use space easily, Uther took the initiative to contribute a precious griffin as a means of transportation for Luo Bihua and the other three. It can allow Luo Bihua and the others to reach Dalaran faster, pick up Prince Kael'thas and reinforcements, and then rush to Quel'Thalas.
Watching the griffin spread its wings and soar into the sky, carrying its men, Uther felt a shadow cast over his heart. He felt that from this moment on, the situation was about to get completely out of control.
This feeling of unease came so suddenly and inexplicably, swirling around in his mind for a moment before quickly dissipating. Uther withdrew his gaze and shook his head, then glanced at the orc camp rooted in the mountains in the distance, his heart heavy.
Even during the day, Stratholme was completely silent. Apart from going to the church to pray, receive Holy Light baptism, and collect food, residents rarely left their homes. This made the city seem deserted and inexplicably silent in the drizzle.
…
"Who is calling me?"
A grumbling sound came from the dark doorway, and evil and powerful energy surged out from the opened summoning door.
Before Kel'Thuzad could speak, he heard the majestic voice inside the door exclaim in surprise.
"I smell the sweet scent of souls! Souls that are on par with those in the Nine Realms, and perhaps even higher in quality! The glint of those souls, hell! I smell Luke's scent! What kind of world did Luke find?"
"Great existence..."
"Don't talk yet!"
Kel'Thuzad was about to speak when he was stopped impatiently by the person inside the door. A huge finger stretched out from the door, but the door was too small, and even the tip of the finger could not reach through, which made the behemoth inside the door become furious.
"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Why is the door so small? Why can't I sense your coordinates? Are you so far away from me? Why is your energy so weak? Where are you? The energy I radiated is too much!"
"Great One, this is Azeroth! A world shaped by the Titans of Creation. This planet is enshrined in a powerful barrier. Your power is too great. It would be difficult for me to summon you alone," Kel'Thuzad said hurriedly. The mana he had prepared was rapidly depleting; simply maintaining the gate was already straining him.
Especially just now, when that finger tried to squeeze in by brute force, he was almost pulled out in an instant! If the other party hadn't withdrawn in time, he might have died now.
"Damn it, hold on longer!"
The power of hell like a tide surged out from the door and poured into Kel'Thuzad's body at all costs. Kel'Thuzad was infused with powerful energy and was almost bursting. His soul and life form were inevitably distorted under the influence of the power of hell.
"Excellent souls! Excellent creatures! Excellent world! I can't wait to come over, but I'm too far away from you, and the energy I'm sending is greatly lost. This is your reward! Next time, next time, I hope the door you open can at least allow one of my incarnations to pass through.
Find Luke! Follow his orders! When I arrive, you'll receive all the rewards you desire! "The voice from within the door grew fainter, and under the influence of the fading power and the barrier, it disappeared from this world along with the door.
"She didn't lie to me! Great power! Vast knowledge!"
Kel'Thuzad's suppressed laughter rang out in the dark night. At this moment, the surging power of hell was lingering around him, and the dark white flames that could burn the soul were burning uncontrollably on his body. After personally feeling the powerful god-like aura inside the door, Kel'Thuzad couldn't help but develop a kind of worship for it.
Kel'Thuzad could sense that he had established some mysterious connection with the other. Although this connection was temporarily severed by the barrier and the different universes, accepting the other's power was like accepting the imprint of a certain power.
His soul was marked by the other party!
This was certainly a restriction, but it could also be considered a form of protection. At least, he no longer had to worry about the torture and danger to his soul.
Similarly, the power he now possesses has far exceeded that of the mages in Dalaran.
Taboo research?
Hehehe.
Antonidas?
Hehehe.
Those foolish people simply don't understand what a great journey he's on! Chancellor Antonidas, when they meet again, perhaps he should change his attitude.
"More power! More rewards!"
Kel'Thuzad couldn't help but hear the irresistible whisper in his mind, and his eyes looked vaguely towards his destination.
Stratholme!
and beyond Stratholme.
Sunwell!
The energy of the Sunwell should be able to summon a bigger gate, right?
