"I'm so tired..." (Name) murmured.

"Hey, Headmaster! That training with the ghosts didn't help me understand Blot one bit!" Grim complained.

"Grim, please look at the magical jewel on your collar." Crowley suggested.

Grim looked at the magic collar of his, "Wha–!?" He gasped. "My magical jewel's got some dirt on it! It won't come off even if I rub it with my paws...!"

"It's a black ink that taints the magical jewel. That's the "blot" that happens after using magic excessively." Crowley clarified.

(Name), Ace, and Deuce also looked at their own magical pen. There is also dirt on the ends of it like Grim's magical jewel...

"Ah...! Now that I look closely, my magical pen has a faint ink stain, too...!" Deuce also proclaimed.

"Eh?! It's kinda dirty!" Grim bellowed, rubbing the jewel.

"There's no way to make them clean again?" Carla asked, flying on Ace's shoulder to see his magical pen tainted by black ink.

"Not completely." Crowley retorted.

"Oh, that's a relief..." Grim sighed, wiping an invisible sweat on his forehead.

"If you take a proper rest, and given enough time off, the Blot will disappear on its own." Crowley pointed out. "A magical jewel does not exist simply to be an outlet for one's magic. One other purpose it has is to accumulate Blot that could directly affect the caster. To an extent, it is a wonderful item that can carry such a huge burden."

Deuce nodded, "I see... In other words, once our magical jewels have become hazy, it's a sign for us to rest our bodies, correct?"

"That is correct. Blot disappears if you eat, sleep, and rest properly." Crowley agreed.

"That's good!! Then, that means I can rest assured about using my magic when I become a great magician!" Grim cheered. "I mean, I eat and sleep a lot already~!"

"He's so cocky..." Pantherlily groaned.

"Magical energy comes in all sorts of varieties. With the exception of a select few, the maximum permissible amount of magical energy is not really that large." Crowley added.

"What do you mean?" Happy questioned.

"In other words, the more magical energy a person has, the more careful he has to be about accumulation of Blot." Crowley rephrased.

"So, if we keep using magic stupidly without even thinking of the consequences, it's easier for us to accumulate Blot, you mean?" Ace crossed his arms, raising an eyebrow.

"To an extent, yes." The Headmaster elucidated. "Though, considering your skills with magic for now, I don't think you have to worry too much about Blot yet. Good for you, huh~?" He smiled at Ace.

"It's kinda hard to be happy about that, y'know!" Ace hollered.

"If our magical jewels turn darker the more we use magic, will we all turn into evil villain berserker mode like Riddle?" Grim asked.

Happy hugged himself, "I was so scared when I saw a huge monster behind him!" He quaked.

"The magician's overall state and well-being actually plays a huge influence on their magical limit before experiencing Blot." The tuxedo crow illuminated. "Anger, sorrow, terror, confusion... Experiencing constant negative energies like that makes it easier for Blot to accumulate. It becomes easier for one to go into Overblot."
