Chapter 84 Magic
Spring has deepened, and the night is slightly cool.
In the forest park of Snow City, Qin Nan and Tang Cao stood facing each other, each holding a candied hawthorn.
Tang Cao bought these when she came. She happened to run into a vendor on the way home who was about to close up shop. She was craving strawberry candied hawthorns, so she bought two and also bought one for Qin Nan.
"Senior, I've mastered telepathy. Now, can I learn some more advanced offensive magic?"
Tangcao licked the sugar coating off the candied hawthorn berries one bite at a time.
In contrast, Qin Nan's eating manners were much more "aggressive." She bit off an entire strawberry, and the broken sugar coating and juice flowed down the corner of her mouth, which she then rolled into her mouth with her tongue.
"Don't even think about advanced magic. The magic power you have now is not enough to support you in completing that level of magic. But you're right, it's time to teach you some offensive magic."
Looking at the Chinese tallow tree in front of him, Qin Nan continued to explain.
"Using magic can be easy or complicated, but simply put, there are only three steps: spell, connection, and release."
"A spell, as the name suggests, is a variety of patterns or carriers that can carry magical power. Generally speaking, most magical girls' spells are composed of 'words'."
"Chinese characters, English, oracle bone script, runes, and other characters can all be categorized into scripts. You can even create your own 'script' if you wish."
Tangcao blinked. "All text can be used as spells? Doesn't that mean magical girls exist overseas too?"
"Of course there will be," Qin Nan nodded. "This world is very big, and protecting the real world isn't something we can do alone. It's just that I haven't really had any contact with magical girls from other countries."
Upon hearing this, Tang Cao slightly raised her head.
Come to think of it, with such a large planet as Earth, it's impossible for the heretical forces to only target China for their invasion. Even if they don't spread their influence evenly, at least most cities with high levels of negative energy should experience dimensional gaps.
"There's no use thinking about this now. Magical girls most likely won't leave the city they're protecting, and the chances of them going abroad are even smaller. So you might never meet a magical girl from another country in your lifetime."
"No, senior, I was just curious whether different languages would produce different magical reactions when casting magic, such as whether there are differences between Old English and English when they are used," Tangcao said.
Qin Nan glanced at Tang Cao in surprise, then smiled. "You actually thought of that? Not bad, I was just about to remind you."
"The concept of a spell is based on how a magical girl uses magic. The text is just a medium and there is no difference in itself. Whether it is the text we use now or the text used in ancient times, there is no difference."
"If we really want to talk about the difference, it probably lies in the complexity of the text and the level of proficiency. My personal suggestion is that you use the text you are most familiar with to form the incantation, as it will be more convenient."
Listening quietly to Qin Nan's words, Tang Cao nodded thoughtfully.
"I think I understand now. Simply put, it's about proficiency, right?"
"Yes, that brings us to the next two steps."
Qin Nan picked her teeth with a bamboo skewer and spoke.
"Magic connection is the process of using spells imbued with magic to arrange and combine them into sentences, patterns, words, or phrases, which can then unleash the corresponding magic."
"Once the spell formula and connection are determined, they are fixed, so we will use the most basic and easiest-to-understand arrangements to compose the corresponding magic."
"If you put together a nonsensical phrase, the magic can still be cast, but it will be very difficult to chant and cast, so don't use overly convoluted combinations."
"I understand." Tangcao pumped her little fist. "Basically, it's about using the simplest method to unleash the most powerful magic, right?"
"Yes."
Qin Nan snapped his fingers, then casually tossed the bamboo skewer away, and continued speaking.
"Now that you have a basic understanding, let's begin. Sit cross-legged, close your eyes, and I will teach you how to create your own magic formula."
Following Qin Nan's instructions, Tang Cao hurriedly sat down cross-legged with great enthusiasm.
"I know you're excited, but you won't be able to gather magic power like this. Calm down first."
Qin Nan casually circled around Tang Cao, observing the magical energy of nature surrounding her, while also paying attention to Tang Cao's own magical reactions.
"Although magic is a natural phenomenon, it also changes according to the user's willpower. When you are happy, magic will cheer and rejoice; when you are sad, magic will fall into despair."
"And to control this magic, the first thing you need to do is control your emotions and find a balance between the magic and the spell."
The words echoed through the woods. Tang Cao did not answer, but closed her eyes and fell silent, calming her excited heart and allowing herself to return to a state of tranquility.

"After becoming a magical girl, you should have noticed some changes, such as being more sensitive to the generation of negative energy."
"What you need to do now is to sense your own magic and the magic in nature. This might be a little hard to understand. After you close your eyes, you can try to let your mind wander."
In fact, when a person closes their eyes, the scene in front of them is not completely dark. Due to strong light, eye fatigue, psychological factors, and other factors, the world after closing one's eyes is still complex and ever-changing.
However, once a person has completely calmed down and is undisturbed by the outside world, the scene before them will gradually return to darkness and silence.
When magical girls are in this state, their magical power is revealed, illuminating the void of darkness.
Noticing the fleeting change in Tang Cao's expression, Qin Nan quickly spoke up.
"You don't need to answer me or open your eyes. Magic is like a fawn in the forest; it's easily startled. If you frighten it, you'll have to start all over again."
Upon hearing Qin Nan's words, Tang Cao quickly forced herself to calm down, maintaining her original posture without daring to move.
"very good."
Qin Nan's lips curled up.
"You should be able to sense the magic in front of you by now. I guess it's a misty, ethereal fog, and judging from your element, it's most likely white."
"Take full attention to this feeling. This is a reflection of the magic within you, and it is also the total amount of magic you currently possess."
"What you need to do next is to condense this formless mist into corresponding characters."
