Is this the beginning of a joke? I wish.

I wish.

Research on the gamma attack should be halted for the moment being.

Yes, Lord Juler, I concur.

I concur. God, how am I even talking like this?

But we do have something juicy on our hands here.

Now, we still have to establish the limitations of your new [Dispel] technique. Drawbacks are a natural result. Even the greatest magic has its weaknesses. And its better you discover them before any of your enemies do.

For starters, if the enemy is a very fast caster and uses low-level spells, Id find it extremely hard to counter that. This technique works better on higher-tiered spells, in my opinion.

Thats a problem for every [Dispel] specialist, student. Your new technique does solve that problem, actually. No spell has faster casting than [Light]. You can just pepper whatever spell your enemy is casting at an insane speed. You are a [Luxmancer]. Even if you dont have skills that speed up your casting, your natural affinity for Light Magic will only continue to grow. That makes your intuitive understanding and, in turn, your casting speed much better.

I dont know, then. Maybe overcharged spells are harder to displace? That shouldnt be true about [Dispel], right?

Wrong. The more Mana someone uses, the stronger the natural soul-shroud around the casting.

Lord Juler, I have no idea, then. My basic knowledge about magic is awfully small. I have done my own studies, but I dont have enough information to solve this. You are a [Supreme Archmagus], arent you? You definitely know the answer.

Magic is boundless and deeper than any ocean, Joey Luciani. Even at the apex of knowledge, it still eludes the best [Mages]. No one can boast that their knowledge of magic is complete or that it will ever be.

You dont know, do you? I ask, exasperated.

We have been experimenting for a while, but it seems like my technique has no weak points. And thats kind of absurd. The only real limit is my proficiency with said magic and my mental capacity. Once I get tired, I get sloppy. But if I can keep focused and clear-headed, I can destroy virtually any spell.

There have been great Light [Mages] throughout history. But no one has ever tried this. It is a humbling experience that a child from another world can come up with something so revolutionary. [Archmages] will study this technique in the future, and it will change everything.

It is a bit embarrassing to be complimented like that. At this point, I want to find a problem in this spell before the fame I havent yet acquired goes to my head.

[Advanced Mana Sense]

Really?

Ok, ok, I say, panting. Can we just try my theory out?

[Light Manipulation]

I fold the shieldyou know what?

I dispel the shield and use a simple [Light] spell that I carve out to form an empty ball. Then, I try to cast a [Light] inside that.

It doesnt work.

Huh.

Ok, this doesnt really prove anything yet.

Now, I cast a [Light] matrix very slowly. While the matrix is there, I envelop said matrix with another empty globe-shaped [Light].

This time, I can finish casting the [Light], but I cant cast more [Lights] in it.

My head is starting to hurt from all the implications.

Student, you should

Please, Lord Juler. Give me a second.

Now, I put a matrix of the globe-shaped [Light] around another [Light] matrix, and then I try to move a disruptive-dispelling [Light] matrix-in-casting inside the [Light] matrix inside the globe-shaped [Light] matrix.

Does this even make sense anymore?

Anyway, the spell goes through.

Interesting. This should be noted down and passed down to scholars. A matrix doesnt stop your matrix. A fully-fledged spell does. The theory about particulate magic from

I stand up, open the door, and go down the stairs. I turn a deaf ear to Lord Julers rambling. This whole thing is very exciting, sure. But Im getting a headachetoo much magic for today. I need to do something else before I jump out of a window.

Joey!

I hear Gaius shouting at me.
