When researching various household magic machinery, Xu Yi used magic arrays in place of electrical power to drive them, allowing them to perfectly replicate the functions of household appliances on Earth.
The power source was a Magic Crystal, which supplied magic power to the magic array.
Most of the time, this approach encountered no obstacles. The Magic Crystal supplied the magic power the array needed, and the array then generated the corresponding magic to produce various effects.
But when researching Magic Lamps, Xu Yi ran into a problem.
When Xu Yi first set out to develop Magic Lamps, he wanted to hang them from the ceiling like electric lights on Earth to illuminate an entire room. However, because the Magic Crystal and magic array had to be connected to the lamp itself, installing a switch became a serious problem if the lamp hung from the ceiling.
Just imagine having to fetch a ladder every time you wanted to turn on the Magic Lamp on the ceiling, then climb up to press the switch on its side. And when you wanted to turn it off, you had to do the same thing all over again. How aggravating would that be?
Many of these specially made Magic Lamps could be hung on the ceiling and walls of the City Lord's Manor's banquet hall because the city lord had specifically requested them, and the manor had enough servants to handle such troublesome tasks.
But in an ordinary household, who would have the patience to climb up and down every day just to switch a Magic Lamp on and off?
Left with no choice, Xu Yi's original ideas for all sorts of unusual chandeliers and wall lamps ultimately became nothing more than a simple Magic Desk Lamp.
