But Mo Hua became too adept at the Fireball Technique. After trying multiple times, his mysterious spiritual consciousness became gradually stable, spiritual power flowed, and the spell formed into a complete skill pattern...
Time passed, and a spark of inspiration flashed in Mo Hua's mind, his eyes brightened, and he stretched out both hands.
On his left hand, there was a Fireball Technique.
On his right hand, he also condensed a Fireball Technique.
Dual casting with mystical consciousness, deploying both spells at once!
Mo Hua was overjoyed.
Then he realized a problem, with dual casting, the power should be even greater, and it seemed he didn't need to study a more complicated Fireball Technique...
Mo Hua decided to give it a try. He stretched out both hands, and two fireballs instantly flew out, tracing two arcs of flame, hitting the spell puppet.
Two scorch marks appeared on the puppet, which then recovered as before.
Mo Hua shook his head.
"Not quite right..."
With a divided consciousness, deploying two Fireball Techniques at the same time, the power of each had diminished...
One reason was that his technique was still not skilled enough;
Another reason would be that his spiritual power was not abundant, the amount of spiritual power in his meridians was insufficient to support casting two Fireball Techniques at the same time without a decline in power...
All things considered, it would be better to deploy the fireballs in succession, one after the other.
His casting was fast, and the interval between the two Fireball Techniques was very short, and their power would not diminish.
Unless...
Mo Hua pondered.
Unless there was a need for a spell "barrage," to rapidly release a large quantity of Fireball Techniques within a short period.
In that case, dual casting would be highly effective.
However, such an action would cause spiritual consciousness and spiritual power to pour out like a flood.
His spiritual consciousness could handle it, but his spiritual power definitely could not sustain it.
This was not a method he could use at present...
Mo Hua felt a bit of regret.
Dual casting wasn't effective in terms of power, so he still needed to research spell fusion...
Mo Hua nodded to himself, then his pupils darkened, he once again divided his consciousness, and with dual casting, condensed a fireball in each hand.
Mo Hua furrowed his brows, somewhat strained, as he slowly brought his hands together, trying to fuse the two Fireball Techniques...
But the two Fireball Techniques, like poles of the same magnet, repelled each other.
The closer they got, the stronger the repulsive force.
Soon, Mo Hua could no longer maintain it, the spells dissipated, and the fireballs extinguished.
Mo Hua gasped for air, sighing in his mind:
"It seems it still doesn't work..."
"The Fireballs repel each other; they cannot fuse together..."
"Why is that?"
Mo Hua pondered for a while, then took out his "The Essentials of the Tai Xu Arts" from his storage bag, searching for an answer within some of the documented magical theories.
After the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Mo Hua flipped to the "Skill Pattern Structure" page and recalled the knowledge taught in the Elder's class before having an epiphany.
Inside each spell, there is a certain skill pattern structure.
This structure is stable, standardized, created by the summation work of generations of cultivators, and is a "paradigm" that determines the essence of the spell.
The skill pattern structure is also the structure of the spiritual power, containing the circulation and change of the spell's spiritual power.
Similarly, different spells have their skill pattern structures that naturally repel each other.
Thus, when spiritual cultivators battle with spells, victories in spell confrontations are decided by their respective skill pattern structures.
In confrontations, a top-grade spell, with a stable skill pattern structure, powerful spiritual power, will crush a low-grade spell, causing the latter's spell to collapse and spiritual power to disseminate, leading to defeat.
If the power of the two opposing spells is close, neither can overcome the other, and due to the repelling skill pattern structures, both will disintegrate simultaneously, creating a spiritual power explosion...
Mo Hua nodded, but then he paused, perplexed.
"Spells colliding, disintegrating at the same time, creating a spiritual power explosion..."
"But when my two Fireball Techniques were squeezed together, there was no explosion..."
"Why?"
Mo Hua grew more bewildered as he thought, and couldn't help but exclaim:
Formations are profound and complex, and spells are not simple either.
