8-Practice magic




Half a month has passed since the "Incident of Eraser Soup".
 I regretted my mistake at that time and decided to first check out what abilities each of the magic in the spellbook had.

 For some reason I'm too excited about it too. No matter how much I spent five years as a child in this world, I was indeed nineteen years old in my previous life, so it's embarrassing to act too buoyantly.

 ........No, well, that's something that no one but me would understand anyway.
 Let's at least be a little more mature. Magic is a dangerous force to be reckoned with.

 Anyway, I'm confident that I can handle any kind of magic if I just activate it.
 I'm a former Japanese, after all.
 And the magic language is Japanese. It's not impossible to invoke magic with this.

 However, it's only easy to use it, and it's still far from mastering it. First of all, it is necessary to grasp which spell works what spell and what effect it has in order to master it.

 And there is a quickest way to figure it out.

 As it turns out all you have to do is try them all and see how they work.

Okay.

 I went out to the back of the house and opened the magic book. The pages that were opened had a variety of spells spelled in Japanese, in kanji and hiragana.
 Although I had read through the spellbook, there were still only about ten spells that I tried.

 .........No, you see, I have no idea what kind of situation I'm going to use 'carelessness' or anything like that.
 

 That sacrifice will not be in vain.

'Let's practice.'

 At any rate, you have to try every single one of the unfamiliar spells.
 So, this is how we came to the back of our house to make sure that it's unlikely to happen.

 The back of our house is a fairly large open space. There is no woods or houses, so accidents are unlikely to happen.

 It is also not easy for people to find out that I am practicing my magic here, since it is not visible to other houses in the village.

 Even if my parents accept me, it doesn't necessarily mean that even the villagers will. Therefore, I decided that it would be better to keep this power a secret for now.

''Well, let's start with this spell...''

 --

 The sun was setting.
 I wiped the sweat from my forehead and breathed.

 I found out after trying various magic techniques to the fullest in this way, but it seems that chanting spells over and over again will naturally drain my energy.
 My magic is still in the stage where my magic language is reacting to the magic power around me. Therefore, it doesn't drain my magic power, but just chanting spells all day long is quite tiring.

 And moreover, this body is five years old.
 There's no way he can't wear out his physical strength. The throat in particular is dry, and if possible, I wanted water right now.

''Hah........hah.......zed.

 I'm still not able to sense the magic power and control my own magic power at will.
 Will I be able to do this from now on?

 No, it will become possible. If you can become so, you will surely be able to go to a higher level as a magician.

''Ugh, I'm so tired...''

 Breathing shallowly, I lay down on the ground in a wide open position.
 I'm tired, but this is a pleasant feeling of exhaustion. The feeling of contentment filled my whole body and I felt like I was going to fall asleep.

 But that wasn't the case.

 This 'experiment' revealed several things.
 Firstly, the effectiveness and power of the spells written in the spell book.
 It would have been great to try out the spell that I didn't understand the meaning of at first, but by actually using it, I was able to figure out what effect it had on me.

 Next, it's about the relationship between the content of the spell and the magic that is invoked.
 Basically, magic is only activated 'according to the content of the spell'. If you say 'burn', you 'burn', and if you say 'freeze', you 'freeze'.
During the 'Eraser Soup Incident', I said 'burn it up', so I must have literally burned it up and turned it into charcoal.

"So, you mean, I'm that one? I thought I said, 'Warm up the soup', but it was like saying, 'Burn up the soup'...'

 The magic, "I've burned it out! I seemed to see him smiling at me.

 At that time, I was so caught up in the image of the flame of purgatory = hot, that I didn't pay attention to the part about 'burn out'... If it had been 'warm up with the flame of purgatory', would it have been different?
 .........In the first place, I should have noticed it when the word 'purgatory' is used. The fact that they could use magic was completely buoyant....

 It's true that when you're on a roll, bad things don't happen. It's okay that it was the soup that burned, but if it was a family member, a chill runs down my spine.

 Anyway, I was keenly aware that if you choose the wrong spell, it can cause phenomena that you didn't want. Seriously, let's be careful with magical language....

 And perhaps because of this relationship between spells and magic, there are times when separate spells can cause the same phenomenon.

 For example, if you chant 'O Flame', fire will appear. However, fire also appeared in 'O sun-covered and burning robe'.
Since the robe that covers and burns the sun is, of course, a flame, it seems to be treated as a spell with the same meaning after all.

 However, in the spell 'Let the radiance of the red ball be shown here', the flame also appeared.
 This is a guess, but I suspect it's because the words 'Splendor of Crimson Jade' made me imagine a red, shining flame.

 The relationship between images, magic language and magic power is still unclear, but it makes sense if you think of it as "directing" what you "imagine" using magic language, and then the magic power "reacts" and "causes" the phenomenon according to your instructions.

 It is also possible to make the "flame" appear with the words "Splendor of the Red Ball".

 It's not that I'm not a fan of this, it's just that I'm not a fan of this.

' "Well, I'll just use the spell here for now, though.

 I have some grasp of the laws of magic. I suppose it's even possible to create an original spell.

 However, it hasn't reached the realm of sensing magic power yet, so let's get there first. I'll make my own original spell after that.
