When compared to traditional auxiliary equipnt such as magic staves, tos, or talismans, CADs possessed superior invocation speed, refinent, complexity, and were capable of executing large scale magics. They were the definitive auxiliary equipnt in the modern age.
That being said, they weren't universally superior in all categories when compared to traditional auxiliary equipnt.
Due to the precise nature of CADs, when compared to traditional auxiliary equipnt, maintenance required additional effort.
This was especially the case when dealing with the compatibility between the user's Psion wave motions and the Receive-Release System.
CAD utilized the Psions released by Magicians as raw materials (it may be more appropriate to describe it as the ink for paintings), directed towards the Activation Sequence in the Psion Information Aide, where Magicians then use their own physical bodies as a conductor for reading the Activation Sequence before plugging the result into the magic design. Depending on the quality of CAD maintenance, this could influence the speed of magic invocation anywhere between 50-100%.
In other words, Psions are particles of thought or consciousness made concrete. Their manifestation can be extrely diverse. For every hundred people there would be a hundred different types, and a thousand users would create a thousand types. Every individual has a unique Psion wave motion, so if the CAD wasn't finely tuned to their specific use, the user would encounter difficulty managing the exchange of Psions.
Besides that, there are many essential points that lead to a custom fit CAD.
These would fall under the purview of the Magic Artificers charged with CAD maintenance, and the reason why exceptionally skilled Magic Artificers were seen as coveted treasures.
In addition, the fluctuations of Psion wave motions reflect the growth of the physical body, such as changes as a result of age, and are subsequently affected. In fact, these fluctuations could change daily.
Thus, the ideal situation would call for daily maintenance based on the user's physical status, but CAD maintenance requires equipnt that is extrely expensive.
Generally, only the military, police, central governnt, first class research institutes, famous schools, and well-financed major corporations possess the power and funding for CAD maintenance equipnt and related trained personnel, an impossible scenario for small to mid-sized companies or personal use. Magicians in the latter categories resort to using Magic Machine Customization Stores once a month, or chanical Service Stores once or twice for scheduled check-ups.
First High was also considered to be one of the country's premiere schools, and thus naturally possessed special facilities for student use. It was a common sight to see students or faculty undergoing CAD maintenance on campus.
However, due to special circumstances, Tatsuya's house also contained state of the art CAD maintenance equipnt.
After dinner, in the basent that had been converted into a CAD maintenance room, Tatsuya turned around upon hearing the only other occupant in the house speak.
"It's okay, go ahead and co in. It's about ti I took a break."
That statent wasn't a lie, probably because Miyuki had waited for a period of ti to elapse before attempting to speak with him.
"Excuse . Onii-sama, I was hoping you could adjust my CAD..." She was holding a cellphone-shaped CAD.
On her approach, the soft, pleasant sll of soap buffeted the senses.
She was wearing a simple, large velvet robe, sothing commonly seen during dical examinations.
"Are the settings incompatible?"
That apparel was for soone intent on maintenance.
"That's impossible! Onii-sama's adjustnts are always perfect."
Because her response was always superlative accolades, there was little point in telling her to change. From previous experience, Tatsuya knew that trying to do so was pointless.
However, the last ti they did a full maintenance was 3 days ago. Usually, they only did a full maintenance once a week unless there was an urgent reason, thought Tatsuya.
"It's just, that..."
"Don't worry about it. Go ahead and say it like you used to."
"Sorry, I actually wanted Onii-sama to help
change a few Activation Sequences..."
"What, just that. It's nothing to worry about. I was getting worried for a bit."
He softly brushed his sister's hair and took the CAD from her hands. Miyuki dipped her head in embarrassnt.
"So, what systems do you want to add?"
General CADs were limited to 99 registered Activation Sequences. Even for Miyuki's highly customized CAD, this was an insurmountable limit.
The variability of Activation Sequences were dependent on where the Activation Sequence combination ended and where the individual's Magic Calculation Area began in terms of execution. In reality, there were unlimited combinations.
Generally speaking, targets, strength, and ending requirents were set as variables to be executed by the Magic Calculation Area; all other essentials would be incorporated into the Activation Sequence. However, it was not rare to see strength as the Activation Sequence quantity to reduce hydrochloric acid execution to increase Invocation Speed. Many Defensive-Type Magics relied on using the self as a physical marker in relation to the target, whereas Contact-Type Magic quantifies all the numbers. All these were introduced in the practical skills class. (!)
Miyuki belonged to the minority who registered a wide variety of low fixed quantity, highly flexible Activation Sequences.
For fifteen year old Miyuki, who could grasp magical skills far beyond what her age could suggest and had an incredibly varied repertoire of magic, 99 types was far below her actual ability.
"Binding-Type Activation Sequence... I want to increase the types of Anti- Personnel Combat Magics."
"Hm? You already have Speed Magics, so do you need to add Binding- Types?"
Of all the different types of magic, Miyuki specialized in Speed-Type Magics. One division of Speed-Type Magic was Freezing Magic, capable of reducing a target's temperature to near absolute zero.
"Onii-sama should know that Speed Magic is rarely directed towards individual use and very difficult to work with. Partial speed reduction or partial freezing are practically impossible, and the Invocation ti is very long. I thought of this after watching today's match. I'm lacking in magics that use speed as the primary focus, with the intent on using the minimal force to subdue the opponent." (!)
"Hm... But I don't think Miyuki fits that type. Attacking before the opponent is ready and using speed to disrupt the opponent is a legitimate strategy. However, striking with force born of absolute superiority, using Zone Interference to nullify the incoming magic, then using magic that is both stronger and greater in scale than the opponent's defensive capability, don't you think that orthodox style fits you better?"
Zone Interference involved using the user's own Magic Power to nullify opposing magics within the user's imdiate surroundings. This occurs when a zone has been saturated with a user's magic, rendering the zone "Unable to be Changed
