29 Magic With Gaos And This Broken World

What exactly is Magic?

Magic in this world is kind of simple - but at the same time, it was also something complicated. Rather, it's unfair and broken. It's also something I don't completely understand.

Magic isn't the focus of the Otome game, so even though I played it, I don't have much knowledge about it either. But according to the game, Magic is something given as a blessing and gift by Linus, the God of Creation who is said to have given life to everything and everyone in this world. It's a rare blessing wherein only 37% of this world's population has it, according to the studies done by the Tower of Magic.

It is because of this 37% that I feel lucky to be able to use Magic.

Magic in this world relies heavily on a person's 'Imagination'. It relies on one's strong mentality, and ability to visualize something.

But of course, it's not as easy as it sounds. You need to have the talent, skills, practice, and enough 'Mana'. It was something I haven't mentioned before, but having Magic means having 'Mana', and the ability to control the energy of your surroundings.

Some people may have a large amount of Mana, while some do not. This makes me think about a lot of things - it makes me wonder if Magic here can be related or connected to science, or it is just as simple as it is. It made me think if there is a limit or if it is really broken, and more.

In the end, I gave up thinking too much. I could only put all the blame on the creators of the game for not clearly explaining and creating a proper order or system of Magic in this world.

However, this can be both become a disadvantage and an advantage to me. I can either abuse this broken and unfair order while looking for loopholes in the plot and the world or stick with what I know.

From what I learned, there are different types of Magic. Elemental Magic or Rare Magic like Fire, Water, Air, and such, is something that can't be learned if a person isn't naturally born with them and Magic like teleportation, levitation, and basic spells like using a 'small' amount of fire to light up a torch, can be learned regardless of whether you have an element attribute Magic or not. You can learn it as long as you have the ability to use Magic and Mana.

Some Magic can be extremely hard to learn, while some can be easy so they were divided into two categories. Basic Magic and Advance Magic.

Basic Magic consists mostly of Magics that are used often or usually in people's daily life, like a small fire, fire ball, water ball, and more. Advanced Magic includes Magic that can alter a person's voice, general appearance, more powerful attack and defense Magic, telepathy, teleportation, Healing Magic, and more.

However, there are cases where useful or powerful spells that can do more harm than expected are easy to learn, like when I was able to teach the children at the Morte how to use teleportation.

When you think about it, there is a flaw in this. Being able to use or learn something like teleportation and such can be dangerous. One example of this is the time when I teach the kids in the Morte how to use teleportation, at that time, it was a gamble. If at least one of those kids has the potential or talent in Magic, there is a high chance of them escaping, but if not, everything will depend on effort and luck. In a more simple explanation - They were lucky.

If something has perhaps gone wrong, like if they weren't able to clearly visualize the place they want to teleport or go to as I told them or something went wrong when they cast the teleportation spell or activate it, then the teleportation magic wouldn't work.

Even if it did work, it will not bring them to the place they had expected. If also not even one of those children has the talent to use Magic, then using teleportation Magic for the first time is basically impossible.
