Magic is the embodiment of imagination.
I picked up the book that sage-san left behind and quickly opened the magic theory page, and the first thing it said was that. The embodiment of the imagination ... His words are quite complicated, I wonder if it will be alright?
However, the embodiment of imagination.Even if you use magic, you cannot use it without the underlying [Magic Power].
I'm sure it is. Otherwise, the magic on the stats would be completely meaningless.
You have to start by feeling the magic to begin with, or you won't be able to use magic.
That means, I have to learn how to control magic before I can use it. As I read the book, it was mentioned that in order to deal with magic, one must first feel his own magic, and meditation was mentioned as a way to do so. I don't understand what meditation is, but should I sit with my eyes closed for now?
I put the book in front of me, closed my eyes, and sat down. Then I felt a presence next to me, so I opened my eyes slightly, and Night, imitating me, closed his eyes, and sat quietly. Itis funny.
After sitting side by side for a while, I felt that the heart part of my body was strangely hot.
"…Hmm? Whatisthis? It's…"
As I felt the heat, it flowed all over my body, giving me the illusion that I was somehow experiencing blood flow.
“Wait...what feeling is this..!”
I was confused by a situation I had never experienced before. Still, I did not see any abnormalities, such as pain in my body or something negligent. Then, a semi-transparent message appeared in front of me.
You have acquired the [Magic Control] skill.
"Hah ... This heat source is magic?"
I soon learned from the sage book that it turned out that magic was something akin to blood flow and always flowed throughout the body. Usually, I don't feel anything unless I realize it, so I guess only this time.
"This is ... the magic circuit that I inherited from sage-san ..."
As I muttered that to myself, Night, who had been meditating next to me, barked as if to tell me something.
"…Woof! Guk woof!"
"Hmm? Maybe you can feel it too, Night?”
"Woof!"
“Oh! You did!
That means Night can learn the [Magic Control] skill just like me. Even though it was called control, I could only sense my magic. Other than the fact that I am not from this world, even if I have magic in my status, I cannot use magic because I do not have a circuit. Since Night is from this world, I'm sure he has a magic circuit.
By the way, since I can feel my own magic, I can adjust the speed of the magic flowing in my body. I can move it as I see fit, like living in one place, so maybe others will be able to control it as soon as they can feel it.
"Now I can feel a miracle, and I can control it, what's the next step?"
Once you can handle magic, the rest is easy. For example, if you want fire to come out of your palm, you can imagine gathering magic in your palm so that it will come out. There is also such a thing as pronunciation of long spells, but this is not necessary as it only serves as an aid to strengthen the image. However, if you make your own name for that magic, it will be easier when you activate it. It's also a matter of preference because it's the same as saying that magical name and saying it in your mind. However, in actual combat, it is recommended that you speak it in your mind to prevent opponents from predicting magic.
It's useless on Earth, though. I can't imagine a situation where I have to use magic.
As I turned the page, I found the rest of the written story.
If you are going to use it for the first time, it is best to imagine water-based magic. Fire and the like can cause disaster in some places, but with water, the damage is relatively small. Think that.
“It's dangerous! I'm ready to let out a full fire..”
If I had not read before, I would probably have let the flames appear. I had to read it to the end properly before I could practice it. I told Night to do the same, and I quickly stretched out my palm. I imagined a basketball-sized water ball floating in the palm of my hand.
...I read that I had to think of a magic name, so I guess [Water Ball] would do it. It was a cheesy name, but thanks to that, the image and the name of the skill became one. As soon as I amplified the image, I quickly activated magic.
“It's okay, right…? [Water Ball]!”
Then, water appeared in my palm, surging out from the empty space. Soon, a mass of water the size of my imagination was formed.
“Uoooohh! I'm doing. I did!"
"Woof! Whoa!"
"Hmm?"
When I was impressed with the water ball in my palm, I saw Night barking next to me, and there was a water ball of the same size as mine floating above his head.
“Wah! You did too, Night!”
"Woof!"
With my bare hands, I caressed Night with all my might.
"Alright fine! Now we are also witches!”
"Feed!"
I want to use another magic now, but I need to do something about the water balls I produce. I imagined in my mind that I would shoot a water ball at high speed into a tree outside my yard.
At that moment
"…Wow…"
"…Woof…"
The water ball broke some trees outside. It's stronger than I ever imagined; it makes me squint my cheeks.
…It really works as intended.
Also, I already knew it through the use of magic, but I really felt like I lost a bit of magic from my body. But if I believe in the feeling of losing magic this time, it will be possible to create a large number of water balls with this incredible power.
Before, I imagined [Water Ball] to make it appear, but now that I saw the scene, the image of [Water Ball] had been overwritten by the image when I shot it. I can only make water balls appear.
“...Alright, let's go ahead and use more magic!”
"Nigh!"
I said that to Night, and we continued to use magic as long as our time allowed.
