Chapter 29: Ellen (4)
If levels and magical ability determine the perfection of a technique, then the total amount of magical power can be equated with basic endurance.
No matter how many impressive spells one learns, if the magical power to materialize them is insufficient, their meaning often fades.
If someone asked why ordinary people can’t match the magical achievements of the nobility, there would be dozens of reasons, but one of the main ones is the innate amount of magical power.
Mages born into noble families often possess an exceptionally large amount of innate magic.
Especially mages from families like Duplain, Beltus, and Belmierd—nothing more needs to be said.
Whoosh!
The first-level spell Ellen cast with her hand was so large in scale that even those at the entrance to the second level took notice.
The difference between the first and second levels is comparable to that of an arrow and a cannonball. There’s an inherent gap in power between the two, but when the number of participants is large, the meaning can shift.
Such was Ellen’s spell. The wall of fire that exploded around her seemed to consume the entire world. Who could deny it? She was the most talented mage of the Belmierd family.
