Magic Apprentice: "Teacher, I'm exposed to magic, what's the first thing to learn?"

Magician: "Magic Taxonomy."

The above is a classic joke in our magic world, but it also highlights the importance of magic taxonomy.[]

The science of magic is like a vast ocean and profound, and we have never reached the other side until now. It is precisely such a huge and complex science that has led to a problem: even trying to understand what magic is is a problem.

What is magic?

Rub the fireball? Wave the magic wand to spray the stars? Riding a broom flying all over the sky?

No, no, these are just specific techniques and are far from representing "magic".

Dear fellows, please remember: magic is just a path to "absolute truth". It is just a footprint and shadow left by the "truth". It is the symbol and lighthouse of our ultimate wingers.

Next, I try to analyze the essence of magic from the perspective of the evolutionary history of magic—

———Murro Orionz Gardtevaz Korkot

*********************************

History of Magic:

1. The period of supernatural forces.

In an age that was so ancient that it could not be verified, at that time, the ancestors of our human species came to this world (Note: The theory of the natural evolutionary school of species is selected here, not the God-creating school).

According to some records of our ancestors inherited from other ancient races, some records of supernatural powers can be found. However, there is no more detailed information on the specific matters. Some people once tried to use magic such as time backtracking, but they undoubtedly failed - that era was too old.

2. Primitive witchcraft period.

Well, please ask our ancestors to come to rest. If you want to invite primitive humans, you must mention primitive witchcraft.

The driving source of the most primitive witchcraft power is by no means the "knowledge", "reason", "understanding" and so on the contrary, it is "fear", "unknown", and "worship (supercreation)" of the current magic.

Because of the lack of understanding of many factors in the world, they are afraid, and then respect and worship - this is the source of power of primitive witchcraft.

He was bitten by a poisonous insect and died of poisoning - but why?

Death by a beast-but why is it so powerful?

Thunder is coming in the sky, so terrifying! - But why is it thunder?

The hostile tribes are coming, and blood flows into a river - why?

...While such unknowns and horrors scare people's hearts, they also arouse the envy of primitive people and even blind worship because of their strength.

During the primitive witchcraft period, most of the primitive people worshiped concrete things and drew strength from them. Elemental power, soul power, spiritual art, potions, voodoo, curse, and servitude have taken shape during this period.

It was also during this period when gods began to interfere in human affairs, and the original magic also appeared during this period, but this book talks about magic, so I won't mention it here.

3. The period of witchcraft.

After a long period of development, although the original witchcraft has not yet developed its own witchcraft theory, the witchcraft system has been actually constructed and is becoming increasingly mature. Well, it must be admitted that those wizards never care about the theory. As long as witchcraft can be used, why care about so much? A bunch of utilitarian and practical barbarians! It is a shame for spellcasters!

But at the same time, one thing to note is that the wizard class is the most important existence in the tribe, even more so than the tribe leaders. They are responsible for recording and inheriting the tribe's knowledge, experience, etiquette and history, medical care and injuries, educating the next generation, identifying whether the ingredients are toxic or not, the environment is harmful or not, what can be eaten and what should be eaten, what can be used and what should be used, part-time construction engineers tell everyone how to build a house, part-time military advisors tell the chief how to fight, and during volcanic earthquakes and typhoons, tell everyone what kind of prayers to... In fact, in many tribes, wizards often also work as part-time chiefs - I personally think that this means the importance of knowledge and important evidence that the mind school will definitely surpass the ** school! Muscle barbarians will always go against the trend of the times!

Because the wizard also works part-time to communicate with the gods, the magic arts at this time are also included in witchcraft. Many witchcrafts have great factors of divine power.

The witchcraft of this period can be roughly divided into this: elemental worship, ancestor worship, god worship, totem worship, voodoo, curse, servitude, and some weird and outrageous witchcraft that is really indivisible.

4. Primitive magic period.

With the evolution of human civilization, people finally took that crucial step and finally wanted to know why!

In fact, among the many human beings, only the desire for knowledge is what I fully appreciate and have a thorough affirmation!

Due to the long-term accumulation of knowledge, people finally try to analyze and explain those "unknowns". As the degree of understanding continues to deepen, the "fear" is getting less and less, and we are becoming more and more "reasonable"...

Finally, the birth of the Primitive Element Theory kicked off the original magic - although this primitive element wheel seems really primitive to the present. For example, the Earth Fire Feng Shui here refers to four real substances, rather than the reference metaphor of the four state attribute concepts. But in any case, this is a small step in the original magic, but a big step in the history of magic development!

With the development of magic, the decline of witchcraft was naturally inevitable, so the position of wizard also became the glory of the past. They split: either to the study of magic or to the embrace of gods. In this period, divine art finally came out and developed rapidly, leading to the birth of the concept of religion. A new profession of sacrifice appeared. The gods formed gangs based on the distance and closeness of their relationship, and the concept of divine system emerged. Each divine system either established a religion or favored a nation (Note: In fact, during this period, a nation often believed in a religion, and this influence even continued to the present).

5. Classical magic period.

During this period, a big thing happened: the gods tried to suppress the development of magic. Some extreme divine sects even claimed that magic was an extremely evil force and that magicians were heresy. Magicians in that period were once persecuted - not only from the gods, but in fact, more from those stupid fellow humans!

Since this book is not a history book, I will not discuss it in detail. But please remember: the gods have no good feelings for magic! They have no good feelings! They cannot have good feelings!

During this period, in order to escape the search and pursuit of the two aspects of heaven and earth, various hidden arts and interference arts were developed. The magicians made great progress in the essence of the gods, as well as in time and space, and cause and effect. After all, if there were no such progress, they would be all caught by the gods, and today you would not be able to sit here and read this book leisurely.

Later, because the magicians had enough power to fight against the gods, such as the god-killers who had appeared in history - the reason why they were able to kill gods was that there were magicians behind them; and for example, threatening the faith of human beings - the two plagues and natural disasters in history that endangered all mankind were actually all our magicians... Well, it was solved. There are also the forbidden spells (note: the first-level forbidden spell) that were enough to kill gods (note: the second-level forbidden spell).

During this period, magic made great progress in general. This period was also the longest. The reason why it was called classical magic is that the magic research in this period still mainly focused on those physical: matter, energy, time and space, cause and effect, life, soul, and these kinds of real existences. As for the metaphysical field, although it has been touched, it is not the main research target.

In the classical magic period, the most representative ones were the division of the eight magic schools and the three levels of forbidden spells.

Six. Modern magical period.

That is, now, some guys think that it should be called the Arcane Period - because the magic of this period has vigorously entered the metaphysical field: laws, laws, theorems, concepts, meanings, wills, attributes, numbers, ideas, ideas, philosophy, etc. There is no entity in the universe in any form, but just some of our cognitive powers, the power of the truth we have discovered!

And this is also the most glorious period of magic! As long as we are given hundreds of years, we will be enough to surpass the gods! This is the power of truth!

Seven. The magical period after the disaster.

Damn it, damn it, damn it! Before our glory could be lit, we were destroyed by those damn it! The world is now dark! Civilization is low! Magic falls! Even I have to hide underground and recuperate! The magic on the ground now... Oh, I think it's a bit ridiculous... Forget it, this book ends here!

Oh, okay, I didn’t expect that when I sorted out the old bookshelf, I found this book... I re-recorded it. The guys on the surface were not idiots at least, and their magic has been acquired... Well, some developments. At least the magic classification is no longer chaotic.

************************************

Magic Classification - Muro Style:

Here, I want to say that all academics start with mathematics and end with philosophy. A qualified magician must also be a qualified mathematician; a great magician must also be a philosopher.

1 Elemental System: the oldest faction. It looks at everything from four perspectives, and divides the universe into four different camps, each camp has different meanings, attributes, and states.

Earth, fire, water and wind do not refer to only one of four substances, but four states of dryness, wetness and coldness; four attributes of steady, intense, quiet, and active; four meanings of constant, drastic change, combination, and transfer; four orders of the lowest, top, second, and second.

Originally, elemental theory was used to study matter and energy, but with the increasing progress of magic, energy research became more and more important, so the plastic energy system was introduced from the elemental system. The current elemental system focuses on research on matter: the essence and evolution of matter; the mutual interference, influence, and effect of matter; the manipulation, control, mastery of matter, etc.

Famous achievements: elemental matter transformation, elemental energy transformation, elemental explosion, elemental baptism, elemental inhibition, elemental drive, fireball technique, and five fireball technique.

2 Department of Energy Plastic: A discipline specializing in energy, including the conservation and transformation of energy; the storage and release of energy; the categories and functions of energy; the operation, control, mastery of energy, etc.

Famous achievements: directional energy impact, directional high-energy impact, directional ultra-high-energy impact.

Well, there is a reason why you are nicknamed the Fort Mage, right?

3 Potions: Do you need to introduce this? Various medicines for medicine and poisons. They study the medicinal properties of various things and their extremely interference effects on the human body. Primitive herbal medicine and voodoo have developed into today's Potions.

Famous achievements: Immortal Medicine, Eternal Wine, Luke's Lucky Potion, and Soul Toxin.

4 Spell system: The original prototype was curse and servitude. The curse later evolved into various effect spells - mostly negative effects, such as the famous Death Finger and Silence Skill; while servitude evolved into contract magic, dominant magic, forced magic, and law-order magic. The famous ones include: master-slave contract, master-servant contract, ally contract, equal contract, legal contract, pet contract, physical domination, forced undressing, forced sleep, forced blindness, law-order death, etc.

5 Magic Pattern Science: specializes in studying the power hidden in language, words, patterns, and patterns. The famous spiritual art, real name art, twenty-four words on clay boards, magic circles, dead marks, eye of light, etc. are all their achievements.

6 Change system: also called the ancient alchemy school, which studies the "evolution and transformation of the attributes and meaning of things", rather than just a matter. The famous sheep-changing technique is their achievements. They can change all kinds of seemingly irrelevant things - but the theories they use seem to be incomprehensible fallacies and evil sayings and impropers. Because what they change is not matter itself, but actually "reason"! They changed the reason (meaning) of the existence of a thing.

Famous achievements: activation rope, automatic shoelace, transformation series represented by the sheep transformation technique, transformation of muscle barbarians, transformation of dragons, power of Titans, and indestructible Vajra.

7 Magic Department: They are all props, which are quite technical. Mechanics, Engineering, Construct, Magic, Materials, Metal Remedy... and even mining. Believe me, if you join this department, you will produce, sell, and yourself and satisfy yourself. This series is also called the Alchemy Department - but the ancient Alchemy School insists that it is just a modern alchemy that studies material attributes and does not deserve this title, so it has been changed to "magic". Basically, all kinds of magic props are their products.

Famous achievements: giant god weapons, divine skeleton puppets, magic cannons, corpse cave projects, artificial gods.

8 limb system: also called body system. The body is the container of the soul, and the soul is the carrier of the spirit. The limb system is a specialized in studying this container. The understanding of body structure is theirs. Destruction, repair, and transformation of the body is the basic skill. Excellent people can even create better bodies. Not only the human body, but also other different forms of life - including non-flesh and flesh.

Famous spells: organ repair, organ transformation, eagle eye, organ transformation, lung underwater breathing, organ transformation, cartilage, organ transformation, tentacles, organ transformation, spray tentacles, broken limb regeneration, cramps and skin removal, unforgettable, blood detonation, blood rebirth, eternal life.

Trust me! If you are enemies with them, it will be far from enough to burst your heart or head!

9 Soul System: As the name suggests, it is good at understanding, transformation, surgery, destruction... and even creating souls! In addition, soul power is a powerful force, also called psychic energy.

Famous spells: body capture, soul-repelling spell, soul-snatching spell, soul connection, soul eye, spirit body repair, soul impact, soul materialization, and soul creation.

Trust me, if you are enemies with them, don’t care about their bodies!

There is also a saying: if you want to die, only blood and soul! It refers to the limb system and soul system.

10 Mind: also called Mind, it is a psychological operation - including oneself and others, various hypnosis and hints, audio-visual, smelling, touching and thinking, which makes people unable to guard against. People who are careful in mind, are all terrifying people who understand people's hearts...or psychologists?

Famous spells: Iron Heart, Brave Mind, Panic, Group Panic, Listening, Negative Mind, Memory Reading, Memory Modification, Memory Blocking, Mind Reading, Female Feature Fraud, Illusion, Daydreaming, I Think I'm Die, etc.

11 Prophecy: In fact, to be precise, it should be a detection and exploration system, rather than the kind that people think, foresight of the future - that is called foresight.

The prophecy spells are all detection and exploration of what has happened. As long as they really exist, they can be known. The essence of prophecy spells is to collect information consultation based on the situations that have happened, and then calculate the evolution of the situation after some legal theory. Experts can modify some factors to achieve the results they want.

Famous spells: past view, future view, crystal balls that look at the world, card divination, digital divination, object search, human search, map survey, and black skin booklet of the God of Death.

In addition, friendly notice: Bad mind... I mean that I don’t have good math, so there is no need to waste time on the prophecy.

12 Space-time system: the synonym of the two fields of time and space.

Famous spells: space·flash, space twists·long-distance jumps, space twists·ports, space breaks·moves, space breaks·moves instantly (Note: breaking the space, so the distance no longer has meaning. consuming the same energy, moving one step is the same as moving to the opposite side of the universe.), Space distortion·laze technique, space distortion·subspace, time backtracking, predicting the future (Note: predicting technique. But the future learned by the predicting technique can be changed. Because the future owners have infinite possibilities, predicting technique is just to obtain the possibility of the greatest chance of occurrence, but no matter how small the probability is, as long as it is not zero, this possibility cannot be denied.), matters time reflux, time pause, time slow, time acceleration, time shuttle (Note: time travel in the true sense. But it has never been successful.)

In addition, this is also a mathematics level science for postgraduate students.
