Mika's "Wings of Calamity" were not yet in their complete form.

His relatively shallow potential limited his development. According to Mika's vision, he should be able to simultaneously control six gauntlets, wielding six weapons to sweep away everything in his path.

The reason for this limitation was that Mika's ability wasn't purely Conjuration-type.

For instance, controlling the gauntlets to move freely around him fell into the realm of Manipulation-type abilities.

This setup was ultimately due to Mellie's magic, "Hero Creation."

This ability brought more possibilities to Mika and the others.

According to Yahweh, besides their main Nen type, the probability of Mika and the others mastering other types had also increased.

For example, as a Conjuration-type ability user, Mika's proficiency in Conjuration was naturally 100%.

In the adjacent Transmutation and Specialization types, Transmutation was 80%, while Specialization was 0% since Mika wasn't a Specialist.

Further out, Enhancement and Manipulation were both 60%, and the farthest, Emission, was 40%.

However, due to "Hero Creation," every time Mika leveled up, each of his Nen types would increase by 10% probability.

Now at LV.2, all his types had grown by 20%.

Therefore, Mika's current proficiency in Conjuration and Transmutation was 100%.

Specialization was at 20%.

Manipulation and Enhancement were both at 80%.

Emission was at 60%.

It was precisely because he noticed this during his training that Mika wanted to cover all other types as much as possible.

Although this approach was challenging in the early stages, the future looked bright.

Mika had pondered long and hard about the composition of his Nen ability.

While he could draw inspiration from anime he remembered from his previous life for weapon conjuration, it was nearly impossible to replicate them completely.

In the Nen system, it's difficult to construct an invincible ability.

What you want to gain, you must pay for.

This is the essence of Nen: "Limitations and Vows"!

Through limitations and vows, Nen users can strengthen their abilities without limit, but what you gain must equal what you sacrifice.

What you receive and what you pay are always equivalent.

Take Kurapika, for example. After awakening his Nen ability, his "Scarlet Eyes" became his innate Nen ability.

When he enters the Scarlet Eyes state, his type changes from Conjuration to Specialization, and all other five types increase to 100%.

But as a price, for every second this state is maintained, he loses one hour of his lifespan.

After about two and a half hours, his lifespan would be shortened by a year.

This is a manifestation of limitations and vows.

Gain something, lose something.

Therefore, it was almost impossible for Mika to perfectly replicate the abilities from his memories. Forcibly trying to do so would only result in a superficially similar, entertaining imitation.
