Incantations were fascinating. As mentioned, by continuously reciting the same word and constantly refining the subsequent idea, one could deepen their understanding of an incantation.

Initially, this process was quick; mastering the pronunciation allowed one to grasp the basic meaning.

However, to understand the deeper layers, relying solely on recitation slowed down the rate of information acquisition.

Liu Ji vaguely felt that there must be more efficient ways to learn. Unfortunately, he didn't know them yet, and Yaine probably wouldn't teach him these methods until he had a clear grasp of basic vocabulary.

Of course, this was the most superficial means of understanding; deeper logic was much more complex. And of course, for Liu Ji, this simple understanding was more than sufficient.

At least he now understood many things.

For instance, why utilizing water magic in the desert was so difficult despite the presence of significant moisture in the air?

This was because elemental spirits always chose environments that were more suitable for their existence. In areas like deserts, wa
