Its because your explanations are very thorough, chief. So a magic tools functions largely depend on the magic circle huh.
Exactly. The magic path connected to the magic circle is important as well, but without the magic circle, the device just wont work. With that said, lets start going over the particulars of magic circles next.
First, Ill give you this. Its a magic to that contains the anings of the different magic circles. This has been covered by the fees, so this to is now yours, Alan.
Um, a magic to is a book which allows you to grasp magic spells, right? Does this book contain all the different magic symbols used in magic tools?
No, Im afraid not. The only things that are written there are the basic ones. However, they are widely used even if they are called basic symbols. For example, everything used to draw the magic circle installed on this fla magic tool is described in that book.
So that ans there are advanced editions. How would I be able to get my hands on those?
If you take the advanced magic tool manufacturing course, youll be able to get yourself a copy of the advanced edition.
Clever. Very clever. Theyve really put their all into thinking up ways to squeeze out a profit.
Well then, let us look at the contents of a magic circle, shall we?
The outer portion of the magic circle has symbols that determine the type of magic that will be produced.
Next in line would be the symbols that determine spell strength; in other words, symbols that determine the amount of magic power used to fuel the spell.
The next symbols determine the maximum distance of magic spell activation.
The direction the magic spell is emitted towards is determined by the position of the tip of the magic output stone.
Thats easy enough to understand.
Now then, lets try drawing an actual magic circle.
For the purpose of todays lesson, please try to copy the magic circle used in this fla magic tool.
Since it isnt advisable to try drawing a circle using magic ink right from the start, we need to prepare a draft first instead.
Nanom will be supporting , so I dont think Ill encounter any problems with this one.
The chief brought out drawing tools similar to a compass and ruler and started making the draft. She was drawing it using a black piece that looked like charcoal.
Sothing like this should do nicely. Please try it out.
I started drawing as the branch chief instructed. It was really easy with Nanoms support.
Thats wonderful! Its my first ti seeing a novice draw so well. The part you drew was the one which specifies the magic spell to be of the fire type. It is listed in the book I gave you.
I see. It really does look the sa. I continued drawing the rest of the magic circle as the chief continued to make explanations. It took almost an hour for to draw the whole thing.
It really is splendid. Youve probably managed to produce an exact copy. Normally, people who are not used to the way the circle is drawn from the outside will fail many tis and ss up on the symbol intervals.
Is ssing up the intervals of the symbols bad?
Of course. The magic power will not flow well, and the overall output of the spell will fall. You have to be very precise with the placent of the symbols, or its no good.
How do you determine the correct intervals?
You base it on the size of the symbols themselves. The larger the symbol, the greater the interval. The smaller symbol, the narrower. Adjust the intervals based on the size of the symbols.
Whats the correct ratio?
An interval asuring an eighth of a symbols height is said to be the most optimal.
I compared the value she told with the record of the magic circle displayed on my virtual HUD and found that it matches.
Next, well fill out the draft with magic ink.
As I ntioned earlier, the outside of the circle is drawn with low magic power ink, and the succeeding layers are drawn with ink which gradually increases in magic power content.
In general, switch out the ink used once you reach a quarter of the way towards the center.
First, lets use this string to asure the total length of the circle.
We placed the string against the magic circle in order to asure its total length. After that, the string was folded into four parts and was used to mark the places where the ink needs to be switched.
But I have Nanom for this step, so I dont really think learning this is necessary.
Now then, please use this magic ink A to fill out the symbols on the outside of the draft.
So I guess these four types of inks are also sold by the Guild?
Of course. The Guild mbers can get them at discounted prices. A is ten silvers, B is twelve, C is fourteen, and D is sixteen.
I think Ive now gotten an idea of why magic tools are really expensive.
I started filling out the draft with the ink. It was just filling out a fixed pattern, so I finished it right away.
Now then, lets try actually activating this magic circle.
We disassembled the fla magic tool, replaced the magic circle with the one I drew, and put it back together. The structure was simple, so the replacent process was completed without a hitch.
I pulled the lever to activate the tool, and flas ca out without any problems.
How wonderful. Most would need until the fourth or fifth day of this training course in order to perform to this degree. Its my first ti teaching soone whos progressed this much just on the first day.
Its because your teaching thods are excellent.
Lets focus on studying the details of the different symbols used on magic circles starting tomorrow. Theres still so ti left. Do you have any other questions for ?
Yeah. Ive been curious about it for a while. Just what is magic?
Youve co up with quite a difficult one right from the get-go. The Magic Guild doesnt have a definite answer to that question yet, unfortunately.
Theologically, as Im sure you already know, it is the power that the Goddess Ruminas granted to humans in order to fight the creatures possessing magic stones.
However, in recent years, it has co to light that so types of monsters are also able to use magic to so degree.
So just why did our Goddess grant this power to the monsters as well?
The answer to that still eludes both the priests of the temple and the many magic researchers working for the Magic Guild.
At the end of the day, the only thing we definitely know is the fact that we can use magic.
I see. Thats unfortunate. I thought I would be able to find out sothing if I entered the Guild.
Of course many researchers in the Guild have co up with their own theories regarding the matter. But theyre all just random musings in my eyes and hold no persuasive power in the least.
I see. Just hearing that is enough for . Well then, do you have any information regarding the person who first wrote magic tos?
Theres also a lot of theories about that, but I am not familiar with the exact details. Personally, I like the theory that Ruminas Herself handed down the first to to a prince in a country that was suffering from a monster invasion. Doesnt that sound romantic?
So theres also no proper info regarding magic tos. Well, it does seem that coming up with patterns as complex as the ones used in these magic circles doesnt seem to be the work of normal humans.
I guess so. I also think thats sothing at least sowhat plausible.
This is the last question. Why are the symbols used in magic circles able to trigger magic phenona?
We also know nothing about that. The Guild researchers are also repeatedly drawing patterns in an attempt to study them and formulate theories about their exact chanics. Theyre attempting to create new symbols and patterns not found in the books which can successfully activate magic, but have no results to show for their efforts until now.
Is that so? Understood.
Its ti. If you dont have any other questions, lets end class for today.
I want to review what Ive learned, so I was thinking of buying magic fluid and magic output stones. Can I tell Lily?
The chiefs face broke into a happy smile. It seems the sales really arent doing so well.
Why certainly! Ill have her prepare them straight away!
I ended up paying a total of 6,800 Guineas at the counter in order to get the goods. The chief gave a brief explanation about each solution used to make the magic wire.
Ill buy so string I can use as a base for the magic wire from Tarus-sans shop before I co back to the inn.
With this, the first day of the magic tool manufacturing short course ended.
