Jia Lan's life has become much easier now, just like returning to the old days.

  He reads books, listens to classes, and studies some strange things every day.

  However, the difference is that he used to give lectures to others, but now he listens to others' classes.

  Every few days, Jia Lan will receive a notice from Donaldson, the third-year water element teacher, asking him to go to the institute to do some element repulsion experiments.

  Because he is a specially recruited auditor and a librarian, he has to go to help those magic professors on time.

  Fortunately, Jia Lan likes to study very much and is very hardworking, so those professors like him very much.

  However, Jia Lan has a special physique called "magic repulsion physique", which makes the professors very regretful.

  Because he is particularly talented in pharmacy and alchemy, but this physique prevents him from gathering elements, so he can't go far on the road of magic.

  However, this does not affect the professors' love for Jia Lan.

  In addition to element repulsion experiments, they also asked Jia Lan to help with some magic experiments, such as preparing materials and cleaning utensils.

  Although Jia Lan couldn't really participate in the experiment, he had a strong understanding ability and could always prepare what the professors needed in time to make the experiment go smoothly.

  Professor Taylor, the head of the alchemy laboratory, even wanted Jia Lan to become an apprentice alchemy experiment assistant.

  Although Jia Lan didn't care about being an experiment assistant, he had to hide his ability and could only watch the experiments that interested him, which made him itchy sometimes.

  The element repulsion experiment also gave Jia Lan a headache.

  He could only use the repulsion of the elements by the arcane to simulate the effect of the "magic repulsion constitution". This kind of research might not bear fruit on him, but the professors still did various tests tirelessly.

  Jia Lan had mastered the basic magic theory knowledge from grades one to nine by self-studying the books in the library, and began to learn the elementary magic theory knowledge on the second floor.

  He found that the magicians of this era had a different study of elements from what he had learned before, forming a new system.

  For example, magicians used mental power to control the elemental particles in their bodies, which they called "magic power", to directly cast magic.

  This kind of spellcasting speed is very fast, and it can have a strong spellcasting ability without preparation.

  This amazed Jia Lan, and he began to study whether he could master this way of casting.

  Although he could not gather elemental particles like a magician because of the arcane energy spring in his body, he could still manipulate elements.

  In the elemental school of the evocation system, there is a small spell called "element sample", which can gather the four elements of "air, earth, fire, and water".

  Unauthorized duplication: this narrative has been taken without consent. Report sightings.

  Originally, this spell was only used in experiments, but now Jia Lan uses it to "simulate" magic.

  Speaking of "casting", we must first talk about the difference between the two spellcasting methods of "arcane" and "magic".

  The arcane is a mysterious power used by those spellcasters. To cast the arcane, it depends not only on the ability of the spellcaster himself, but also on a lot of "spell ingredients", such as "spells", "curse seals", "casting materials", "casting tools" and "magic implements".

  "Spells" are like the "magic spells" we usually say. The caster must use a special volume, tone, and speaking speed to make the spell effective.

  "Spell seals" are like "gestures". The caster must use his arms, wrists, and fingers to make gestures to connect the arcane energy, and the spell can be activated.

  "Spell materials" are things that are similar to spells to help cast spells and make spells more powerful.

  "Spell tools" are those gadgets used when casting spells.

  "Magic tools" are those items that contain arcane energy, such as staffs and arcane tools.

  The more advanced the spell, the more "spell ingredients" are used, and the more difficult it is to cast. Spells, spell seals, spell materials, and spell tools must all be used, so casting spells has become a mysterious skill that ordinary people cannot learn.

  But it is much easier for magicians to cast magic. They directly use mental power to control the "magic power" in their bodies, and then recite a spell, and the spell will take effect.

  Magicians are much more convenient than arcane mages. Maybe it's because magicians mainly use elemental energy. Although they also use some magic spices, they are mainly used to enhance the spell effect, not to cast spells.

  Interestingly, magicians and arcane mages use magic tools in very different ways.

  No matter how powerful an arcane mages are, they can cast spells without a staff. They use magic tools mainly to enhance the effect or add new functions. Moreover, usually only very powerful spellcasters can use a staff, and not very powerful spellcasters can't use it at all. Therefore, not very powerful spellcasters are proud to have their own staff.

  But magicians are just the opposite. The less powerful magicians are, the more they rely on the "magic wand". Powerful magicians don't use magic wands.

  After studying for a while, Jia Lan found that this was because the mental power of the weak magicians was not strong enough, and they could not create a "magic structure" out of thin air. They could only rely on the "magic model" on the magic wand, that is, the "magic pattern" engraved on the magic wand to cast spells.

  They have to add "magic power" to the "spell model" in the wand to create a "magic form", and then use mental power and spells to guide it out.

  The advantage of this is that even apprentices who have just learned magic can use the wand to cast spells and learn magic earlier. But the disadvantage is that the spellcasting ability is too single, and the magic wand can only cast the magic that is engraved on the "spell model".

  However, this spellcasting method also gave Jia Lan the opportunity to "imitate" magic.

  One day, after finishing the experiment, Jia Lan asked Donaldson, an intermediate water magician, about the use of water magic.

  Although he knew that Jia Lan was a "magic insulator" who would never learn magic, Donaldson couldn't bear to break his hope. He patiently explained to him and demonstrated several "entry-level" small magics of the water system, such as "water drop magic", "water splash magic" and "water bubble magic".

  "Among the five magic systems, the offensiveness and destructive power of water magic are relatively weak, and most of them are auxiliary and recovery magic." Donaldson explained, "But water magic is not completely without combat power. When the magic level is improved, even a drop of water can become a dangerous weapon..."

  As he said, he stretched out a finger and pointed to a big tree outside the laboratory. He didn't use a wand or recite a spell, but a small group of water mist gathered at the tip of his finger, and then turned into a transparent water drop as big as a fingertip, and shot out with a "puff" sound, smashing an egg-sized pit on the bark!

  Seeing this scene, Jia Lan's face showed a strange expression again.

  "At the beginning, you may not be able to cast spells like me without a wand, gestures, or incantations, but with more practice, you will slowly be able to reach my level." Seeing that Jia Lan didn't seem to understand, Donaldson stopped and comforted him with a wry smile, "You can try to concentrate the magic power of 'Water Drop Spell', 'Water Splash Spell', and 'Water Bubble Spell' when you go back. Practice more, and maybe... well, there will be hope! If you are interested in magic, it's best to buy a wand first, even an ordinary one will do."
