Law of String Erosion

Physicist Lin Mo's soul traveled through the magical world and became the wasted son of a noble family. He discovered that the magic in this world follows a cruel iron law: every spell cast wears away the soul, and the cost is always greater than the gain. What's even more fatal is that the original owner's soul is already full of cracks, and the huge magic power he brings is like the ocean trapped in a broken jar, which may completely collapse the container at any time. Faced with the family's conspiracy and the church's prying eyes, Lin Mo chose to use scientific thinking to decipher the essence of magic. He regards the soul as a damaged energy network, uses mathematical models to optimize the structure of spells, and leverages the maximum effect at the minimum cost. After entering the Magic Temple under the surveillance of the genius elder sister, he had to walk a tightrope between pretending to be mediocre and conducting secret research. But there is a bigger secret hidden deep in the temple: why can the oldest Grand Magister live for more than three centuries? Why did all the research on "costless magic" come to an abrupt end? When Lin Mo discovered that his soul state was strikingly similar to a forbidden experiment, he realized that he was not only an observer, but also a specimen being observed. This is a race for survival against time - he must decipher the ultimate truth of magic before his soul is completely disintegrated, even at the cost of becoming the next missing "abnormal sample".
