Chapter 180 Soul Binding Bottle
"That's a good question, Edward."
Master Rawls smiled slightly, reached out his hand to feel in the storage bag at his waist, and took out a small bottle more than half a foot high, which looked like it was made of obsidian, with complex runes drawn on the wall of the bottle.
Even though the cork was on, Joan could still feel the eerie aura of the undead permeating from the inside of the bottle.
After listening to Master Rawls' introduction, he learned that it was a quasi-legendary magic tool called "Soul Binding Bottle".
To make this inconspicuous vial, one needs to use the 9-level necromancer magic "soul binding", which is used to imprison the souls that have not yet completely escaped from the corpse after death, and are imprisoned in a specific container.
The function of "soul binding bottle" is similar to that of "soul binding", but it can store the souls of multiple dead.
With Rawls's own spellcasting ability, it is obviously impossible to create a quasi-legendary magic tool like the "Soul Binding Bottle".
In fact, he had bought this treasure many years ago from a Necromancer at Midgard University.
In order to buy the "Soul Binding Bottle", Rawls spent all his savings at that time and owed a whole lot of debt. But looking back now, this business was a big bargain for him.
With the help of the "soul-binding bottle", Master Rawls can easily collect and store the spirit of the shepherd dog, and then create a cheaper "activated scarecrow". Through these years of operation, he has not only paid off his debts, but also earned a lot of money. Hundreds of thousands of property. It's just that Master Rawls is not interested in luxury and pleasure at all. He invests all his savings in the research of spells and constructs that he loves. He is also very plainly dressed, and it is impossible to tell from his appearance that he is the richest bachelor in Leiden College.
Joan and the others didn't have the magic tool to confine the soul, so they envied the teacher's good luck in vain, but they couldn't replicate his miracle of getting rich.
If you make the "activated scarecrow" by yourself, you can only use the traditional method, use the arcane scroll to cast the 4-ring "secondary alien binding" to call a small elemental creature, and seal it into the scarecrow, you can get the same effect .
Of course, this traditional method of making an "activated scarecrow" is more expensive than Rawls' method, and its competitiveness in the magic device market is also inferior.
After briefly summarizing the method of injecting souls into the construct, Master Rawls went on to describe the third element of the construct—enchanting.
"Mages creating constructs are like gods creating humans. It is the great cause of mortals trying to imitate gods. When we compare constructs with humans, it is not difficult to find traces of deliberate imitation. For example, the first element of the construct, 'shape', corresponds to The flesh and bones of human beings, the second element 'spirit' corresponds to the spiritual will of human beings, and what does the third element 'enchantment' correspond to?"
Master Rawls asked himself and answered:
"It corresponds to the knowledge and skills that humans can acquire through acquired learning! That's right, the so-called 'enchantment' element, to put it bluntly, is to apply spells and infuse magic power to the construct, so that it does not need to go through the long and arduous experience like humans. You can directly master a skill during the learning process, but at the same time you have to bear the price. What level is a skill when it is implanted? It will remain at this level forever. Most constructs do not have the ability to improve and improve skills on their own. .”
The process of enchanting the construct is divided into two categories. The first category is the essential basic enchantment, and the second category is the special enchantment that is icing on the cake—if the budget is limited, this link can also be omitted.
Taking Master Rawls' famous masterpiece "Activation Scarecrow" as an example, there are two main enchantments, the first is "Level 2 Secondary Item Revitalization", and the second is "Level 4 Secondary Instruction".
The function of the "secondary item activation technique" is to enable the scarecrow to have the ability to move, so as to make corresponding actions according to the thoughts and thoughts of its soul.
If the construct lacks this basic enchanting technique, it is like a person is completely paralyzed, even if the brain is still functioning normally, it cannot perform the simplest tasks.
The scarecrow has a body, a soul, and basic mobility. It seems to be a perfect construct. However, there is another problem that cannot be ignored:
How to command this construct to engage in a specific mission?
"The vast majority of constructs have no feelings. Even if you create it with your own hands, it will not treat you more kindly than a dog, and will not willingly obey your orders, so we need to enchant Implant a spell into it during the process, so that it has to recognize your master status and obey your command. Most of the spells that are capable of this function come from the School of Enchantment and Control, and there are many types, but we only have two most commonly used ones. ——Level 4-level fingering skills and 6-ring fingering skills." Master Rawls said.
The functions of the "Secondary Commandment Technique" and the "Commitment Technique" are almost exactly the same. They both force a certain creature to perform a certain task. If the other party resists, it will be cursed, and it will suffer great pain every day until it is subdued and obedient. .
The main difference between the two is that the "Secondary Commandment Technique" can invoke a lower level of magic power, and can only control those relatively weak creatures.
For the production of "activated scarecrow", what needs to be controlled is nothing more than the soul of a shepherd dog, forcing this weak soul to stay in the scarecrow's body forever to act as the "brain" to perform the task of patrolling the farmland, and will be punished for disobedience. Very painful.
To achieve this goal, the "secondary command technique" is sufficient, and there is no need to use a higher level "command technique".
The topic mentioned by Rawls' mentor prompted Joan to associate it.
In his impression, the No. 10 rune "Nvd" has the double meaning of "bondage and pain". The former corresponds to "secondary alien bondage", and the latter just corresponds to "secondary commandment".
Qiao An imagined engraving the Nvd rune on the scarecrow, using it as a carrier to bless the "secondary alien bond" and "secondary commanding technique", first activate the "secondary alien bond", and call for small elements.
When the elemental spirit comes to the main material world, it will be immediately affected by the Nvd rune, and will be firmly imprisoned in the scarecrow, and then it can be asked to perform the mission of guarding the farmland.
If the summoned small element refuses to obey the order, the second function of the Nvd rune will come into play, triggering the "secondary commanding technique" to make it feel intense pain, and only obediently can it avoid torture.
In this way, the construction process can be greatly simplified, the production efficiency of the "activated scarecrow" can be improved, and the very cumbersome enchanting process that originally took several days can be shortened to no more than an hour.
