Episode 4.4
They decided to set up camp near the river.
Shira skillfully made so tasty dinner with wild grass, nuts, and animal at that Lecan procured during Parade's special training. Shira had stocked up on bread that would last a long ti.
"Could you take a look at this."
It's the lower grade recovery dicine made by Zaidmahl House's apothecary. Lecan was thinking of having Shira look at it since he felt like it had absolutely no effect at all.
Shira took the dicine with her left hand, produced a light orb on the index fingertip of her right hand, and stared at the dicine under the light.
"Looks to be proper dicine diligently made by an ordinary apothecary. What about this."
"It didn't work when I drank it."
"Why'd you drink it. This is an ointnt."
"What? Saring recovery dicine on yourself?"
"Isn't wound salve sothing you apply on your wound?"
"That may be true for normal dicine, but not for magic potion."
"Ah, you an that huh. I get it now. This world does have dicine that you drink to heal wounds as well."
"Hou."
"There's magic that can heal wound in your world, isn't there?"
"There is."
"You dissolve such magic and put it in water, or rather water-like substance, it's called magic water in this world."
"Magic, water."
"It's water of magic. Magic water is generally applied by drinking. While dicine created from dicinal plants and stuff and has magic play a role during its creation to increase its effect is called magic potion in this world. And even though there are oral and topical magic potions, for treating wounds, it's topical."
"Oh, is that right."
"That is right. But that ans this magic potion you wanted to teach you was magic water then."
"Is there any problem?"
"Well, not really a problem. Just that magic water is not sothing that can last long even though its effect is imdiate."
"Really."
"dicine that's been mixed with herbs is more effective and last longer instead."
"Fumu?"
"Well anyway, I'll just teach you the basic for now, afterward, when you've figured out which you actually want to learn, just tell ."
"Umu. Please teach from the very basic. That aside, you didn't chant when you lit up a light on your fingertip earlier."
"Ah, you an huh. Anyone could do that."
"I can't do it though."
"You, you can't use with all that mana of yours?"
"I can't help it. Magic is sothing bestowed to you, it's not sothing you can learn."
In the world Lecan cos from, although there are differences in quantity, anyone possesses mana. However, you need a specific in order to wield magic. You have a chance of receiving such ability when you defeat magic beasts, and that chance is higher with dungeonborne magic beasts, and especially Floor Bosses. The ability bestowed to you is completely random, and there are floor bosses that tend to give specific abilities. Dungeon's floor bosses don't only drop magic, but a variety of skills as well. So priests have also been bestowed abilities by God at the temples, but Lecan is not well versed in that matter.
"Normally, you can't use magic without learning it first though?"
"What?"
After a brief exchange, Lecan learned common knowledge about magic in this world.
Not a lot of humans posses mana in this world. Whether one possesses mana or not is decided when they're born, those who are born without mana will never get to posses mana no matter what.
Even if you do possess mana, you cannot even cast elentary magic if you're not taught about magic.
Only those who have acquired magic can teach others of those magic. Only in extrely rare cases do so are able to obtain magic on their own.
Magic bearers are restricted by their individual talent type, if one does not have the talent on a certain type of magic, they either won't be able to cast that type of magic, or the power demonstrated will be extrely weak even if they manage to, there's no hope of growth. On the other hand, one will display trendous growth on type of magic they're talented at.
Oftentis, children whose parents are mana bearers will be a mana bearer as well. And in most cases, the children will have the sa talent on magic types as their parents'.
"So I may have a chance to learn new magic."
"I think you do."
