Chapter 142: Guide

Im sitting at the desk in my room, with many sheets of paper on it. They are filled to the brim with numbers, deductions, and hypotheses. Even with [Single-Minded Focus], my head feels close to exploding. There are many items on my list, and we need everything on the list to cure Antoninuss mother. Her name, by the way, is Lucia. The Latin equivalent of Lucy, I guess.Visit for the best novel reading experience

This is going to be a bona fide medical procedure. Before even thinking about irradiating the body of Mrs. Lucia, we need to develop a guide. That would be your standard ultrasound that doctors use during some procedures where they cant actually see inside the body.

Lord Juler, thankfully, is more than up to the task of studying this with me.

Lord Juler, how is the guide coming along?

The spell matrix for this thing, Joey Luciani, will take a few days even for me. Without my skills, Im limited to what I can put on parchment. And the theory behind such a spell might be as complicated as the radiations you talked about. The only difference is that I already know everything I need. Its just about melding several spells together and removing the kinks from such an inelegant solution.

We are building a 3D projection of the body using magic. Its similar to how an interventional MRI works. I watched a few documentaries on how medical TV troupes had to learn some medical stuff. And I remember laughing at how a director couldnt wrap his head around how an MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) worked. Its principles are extremely simple.

An MRI doesnt use ionizing read as damaging radiation. Its a safe procedure that employs a signal from the nucleus of an atom. This signal is electromagnetic in nature and, by the laws of physics, can start resonating when several factors, such as frequency, align. This resonance is the fundamental principle of an MRI.

Now, the actual precise physics of an MRI is beyond me. Its not the kind of stuff you study in AP Physics. You need to be highly specialized and know a lot of quantum physics to replicate such a phenomenon. Its much more complex than creating radiation.

I look at eight angled [Lights] that are projecting toward a point where a fake matrix I placed is. Two of those rays are interfering and distorting another one. Plus, the feedback is too shaky.

I created a Mana sheet that will record how clean the signals are after going through the shroud of my matrix. And this one has too much noise. I look at my [Light] matrixes and start tweaking the intensity, trying to find the optimal setting. After a while, I note down some numbers and shake my head.

Eight [Lights] are too many, Lord Juler. Five is the optimal number. Ill jot down the optimal angles. Eight create too much noise. I just ran the numbers Im sure this is the best configuration.

I dont hear a reply for almost five minutes. But Im not surprised Lord Juler is in the middle of creating a very complex matrix that is way beyond what Im capable of.

The reconstruction algorithm, as you call it, will take me even longer, Joey Luciani. I have rarely faced such incredible calculations. Whoever came up with this is an insanely brilliant genius! Give me two more days, and it will be completed. At first, it will be raw, but once the main matrix is done, we should be ok. Mind you, Joey Luciani, it will consume a lot of Mana. This is not just Light Magic. This is a veritable formation inside a spell. Unless we adapt it to work with catalysts, it will cost you every time you cast it.

I know, I say with bleary eyes.

Rest, student. Ill be working through your sleep. Souls need no rest.

I dont even know what time it is when my head naturally falls on the desk, and my body strangely levitates to the bed.
