An experint gone awry led to considerable casualties, yet the wizards gathered around didn't disperse. Strengthening their personal shields, they excitedly discussed the horrifying beam that had just manifested...
In the pursuit of magic, risks often accompany the journey. Various accidents are considered a norm. Hence, wizards sustaining severe injuries, blindness, limb severances, deafening shocks, and even deaths due to poison or explosions are not uncommon.
However, this didn't deter their research and passion for magic.
Given the level of wizarding pharmaceuticals, as long as one didn't perish on the spot, most injuries were salvageable.
"What powerful magic..." Raphael comnted, observing the demolished structures and the solid bricks sliced through on the ground, expressing his awe.
The wizards present finally understood why Lynn had awarded Glenn the Morning Star dal. It wasn't solely for his experint asuring the speed of light using mirrors, but for this focusing magic!
Judging by the destruction along this street, the focused beam could effortlessly slice houses within fifty ters, breach Mage Shields, and cause fatal harm to unprotected enemies within a hundred ters...
Even expanded to three hundred ters, the intense light could blind or burn people.
"This is at least a fourth circle, no, fifth circle magic, isn't it?" Sanchez pondered.
The power of the beam itself was one thing, but its true horror lay in its speed. Traveling a hundred kiloters in an instant, it offered no chance for evasion, making it perfect for precise ambushes.
Even in direct combat, wielding a weapon with an effective range exceeding a hundred ters, it left barely any room for escape!
Glenn, too, found it hard to believe the terror his focusing magic wielded.
He had conducted related experints before, but never had he concentrated the beam to such alarming extents.
Of course, this wasn't solely his achievent. Anthony's Thunder Magic played an indispensable role. Glenn alone couldn't produce such intense beams.
"It seems light elental magic can no longer be restricted to re support!" Aurora chid in, already contemplating nurous uses for the focusing magic.
While her previously established polarized magic system was formidable and enigmatic, it was mostly used for support—concealnt, visual deception, magical projection, inducing blindness through intense light, and the like. Now, it could serve as the primary ans in battles!
"Congratulations, Glenn. You'll be the first nominated for the Morning Star dal at this academic symposium!" Raphael congratulated.
Glenn wore a wry smile. He hadn't expected the light beam experint he had high hopes for to yield no results. Instead, the focusing magic, which he hadn't regarded highly initially, earned him the Morning Star dal.
However, the damaged street and casualties from the experint troubled him imnsely. There would be compensations to make. Thankfully, no one had perished; otherwise, he would be in grave trouble.
"Thank you for your guidance, Master Lynn..." Glenn rembered to express his gratitude to Lynn, who tily cautioned him.
Previously, he had envied and sowhat resented this renowned star of magic. Now, all that remained was admiration.
The depth and breadth of knowledge Lynn possessed far surpassed Glenn's imagination. The fact that Lynn could accurately point out the limitations of the mirror in reflecting light and the phenona of light scattering hinted that Lynn might have conducted similar experints long before.
"The idea was yours. I must say, this focusing magic and the experint to test light speed with mirrors were both quite good," Lynn smiled.
"Unfortunately, the experint still failed," Glenn sighed.
Lynn chuckled without responding. In reality, Glenn's idea wasn't fundantally flawed; it was indeed possible to roughly asure the speed of light.
Of course, provided one had a quick enough reaction speed!
According to the data from the past life, light traveled a hundred kiloters in roughly three-thousandths of a second. Lynn wasn't certain if legendary wizards could perceive such a slight change. Clearly, they couldn't!
However, Glenn's focusing magic did surprise Lynn.
The convenience of magic often exceeded expectations. Lynn couldn't help but recall the federal governnt's colossal "Solar Focusing Mirror" in the wilderness of a past life, generating temperatures capable of instantly lting steel. Concentrated at a point, it could even reach temperatures several tis that of a star's surface...
Lynn pondered that perhaps they could replicate sothing similar using extensive focusing magic while airborne. That would indeed be true "Sunshine Illumination"!
At this thought, Lynn surprisingly realized possessing yet another legendary magic. However, its requirent for specific seasons and weather conditions was quite high—only during the noon of sumr would its power be sufficient...
Perhaps it could be taken further to create true laser magic...
As Lynn contemplated the new magic, the group of wizards discussed the failed mirror reflection experint.
In truth, nurous wizards aid to asure light speed, hoping to acquire the Silver Moon dal. Their ideas were diverse, but all revolved around a central argunt—creating a sufficiently long distance and finding a ans to record the ti taken by light to traverse it. Reality, however, doused their hopes.
Glenn's experint this ti had reached the epito in all aspects. Even the legendary councilors had intervened, yet they couldn't conceive any thod to simulate a longer distance for light speed asurent...
"Master Lynn, is there truly a way to asure light speed?" Sanchez asked, puzzled.
The other wizards present turned their gaze to this magical luminary.
"Of course!" Lynn nodded. After a pause, Lynn continued, "Actually, my thod isn't that grand..."
This further piqued Raphael's curiosity, but Lynn shook their head, teasingly adding, "The apparatus for the experint requires a bit more preparation ti. In any case, you'll know in a few days!"
Raphael and the others felt speechless but had no choice but to speculate internally about Lynn's supposedly 'not so complicated' thod.
Harof, with an imaginative mind, wondered if it involved using a magic to slow down the speed of light to fulfill the asurent's requirent. Or perhaps creating a powerful light beam directed at the moon, calculating based on the ti and distance it traveled.
So wizards even maliciously thought that this magical luminary was rely playing tricks. If the subsequent experint turned out like Glenn's failure, it would be quite comical...
