Chapter 161: Handle with caution

Spells have polarity. They can form their own special electromagnetic field, as you demonstrated.

Therefore, I whispered, we could use polarity to mimic electrons. We get a bundle of them, polarize them massively, run them through a plasma lens, and boomwe have low-cost gamma rays. Although, the energy will depend on the precision of the plasma density.

Again, not that simple. But thats the gist of it.

And thats where we started.

And we had to make some massive adjustments down the road.

As you can imagine, accelerating electrons is not that simple. Its not just about stacking anti-matrixes and so on. It involves the overall shape of your electromagnetic field. And Im using air quotes because its not a proper electromagnetic field as described by physics. Basically, half of this is science, while the other half is pure imagination. And someone is not taking that very well.

This could mean that I had wasted years upon years doing stupid research, whereas I could have been sitting in front of a tree observing the movements of the leaves to become a [Naturomancer] instead. I was so proud of my Omnium Compendium magic has humbled me once again.Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience

Yeah, Lord Juler feels like he wasted his entire life.

As we try different compositions, embellish the [Light] matrix, repack it inside three other such matrixes, and so on, we finally find a configuration that could work. Now, its highly unlikely that it will be anywhere near optimized. Why? Because its all guesswork at this point. But thats the beauty of magic. Its not an exact science. I mean, few branches of science, apart from maths, are actually exact science. But magic reminds me of what Socrates said. Both Juler and I now know nothing. And we are good with that. But we get some hints here and there.

After realizing all this stuff, I can feel it on my skin that Ill be leveling as soon as I rest. But, as you know, there is no rest for the wicked. Plus, I dont really want to rest. Why? Well, because we are changing history here, thats why.

As much as it pains me to admit it, I know how strong this new thing is. Maybe even too strong. Its so incredible that its like playing a video game in real life. Even if you were a good person, wouldnt you kill someone every now and then just to have fun, just because you can?

Whatever.

I had already explained the concept to the man who, sadly, always took me very literally.

With great powers, Joey Luciani, comes destruction. Not responsibility. How you aim such destruction can make you a [Hero] or a [Calamity]. Mauser, the most disgraced [Hero] of the Vanedenis, was an incredibly gifted man. He brought necromancy to great heights. However, he felt that his way was the right one. Even while committing atrocities. Whatever you do, it doesnt matter if you think its right or wrong; it will only matter what people think of it. Huge massacres could benefit the world, and inaction could ruin it.

To better express myself, child, whether you like it or not, you will affect peoples lives. Thats certain. You just uncovered magic that was either long lost or never existed. Right now, you are still very green, and you will attract malicious bastards from all over the world. Your flame as I have already witnessed in many others could be snuffed out in the blink of an eye. Or you could lose yourself. So many things can happen. What you need, however, is to keep the same attitude you have had until now. Help wherever you can. But also know that you can kill now.

And killing is a responsibility.

Whom you kill will decide whether or not you are on the right side of history.

Joey Luciani?

I hear the same humanoid voice that had previously come to tell me to rest.

Yes? I venture, still dazed by Lord Julers words.

Its time. Ive come to fetch you to bring you to the arena.

Huh.

Right.

The duels.
