58 Questions for the Goddess Part 3 (Magic)

“I re concerned aboutup a barrier?”

“If it’s used against ic, you should be able to devise a skill in the [Mana Manipulation] system

It ic] too”

“Eh…? I can’t construct any h?”

“If you wrack your brains, you should understand

Regarding skills, in order to not obstruct one’s creativity, I can only give you a hint

I’d like you, as soo trial and error as you please, without many preconceptions

Thus, I’ forward to it”

H more than this

Let’s move on

“Are there anything like ems in this world?

In short, I want soh external stimuli…”

“Ahh, you want to use that?

In that case, I believe there were soot froht?”

“…? Was there really anything like that?”

“Itif you think of it in terms of mana

You should think of it as soic”

“Energy that has been produced by ic… I see! So I can use that!”

“That’s right”

“What is that…”

It seems that only Melby doesn’t know Unfortunately, I don’t have the tiht now

“Speaking of ic in the first place?

Magic symbols too—sometimes they shi+ne, sos that can’t be done through skills… I don’t really understand the principle”

“Originally, huht had the power to actualise desires

That’s what miracles are

That power is the same for Marquekt, just as it was for your former world

It’s just that that power is very weak, practically incapable of acconificant by itself

The spells in Marquekt, by hts, access and retrieve the standardised ed by the God of Magic, Attiera

“Magic sy akin to an access key for this purpose

Since it’s a sort of ‘key’, their ‘shape’ is also important

However, their ‘shape’ is, in the end, an ihts define, so for one to ‘depict with ic symbols’ is essentially no more than for one to use an auxiliary input device to e

The only thing visible at that point, is that auxiliary device, so when one observes icians from the exterior, it looks as if the symbols themselves possess a special power

“Further symbols’, and don’t when you’re unaware

Depending on the situation, if you don’t want the as you’re not a complete amateur

Despite whether or not it shi+nes, there won’t be a problee in your head

When your mother used 《Fire Storm》, the symbols shone, correct?

Using that case as an exae a visible form allowed for a more reliable invocation

Conversely, when you first cast ained awareness, Julia-san used ∃ to negate it just by tracing it on her thigh, right?

In this case, there wasn’t a problem because her desired effect was simple

Although, it ht’ve also been that she didn’t want the syht your attention”

I sort the information that I had just been told inside my head

“Let’s see… By drawing istry to call forth a ical effect

Because iery is important, the symbols are no more than an auxiliary tool, huh”

“A computer can still function without a mouse, or a touch panel, but it’s inconvenient without theht?”

The Goddess, as completely familiar with the IT of Earth, explained with such a metaphor

It was certainly easy to understand, but I felt like she had spoiled things somehow

“Then what role do ic skills have?”

“The istry―they’re called eneric nature, and can only describe things very roughly

Magic skills fine-tune these roughly described ic in a closer form to the practitioner’s desires
