Chapter 333: Self-Sustaining Chain, Magical Atom Bomb
Every wizard's magical reserves had a ceiling. No matter how much they grew, there was always a cap.
Flamel...
Nicolas Flamel, the six-hundred-year-old legendary wizard. His magical skill and Alchemy went without saying, but his total reserves... had those grown with age too?
If so, maybe it was possible. Regulus didn't know.
But thinking of Flamel brought back something the old man had said during their last meeting.
"Magic can become matter. Pour magic in, and it becomes mass."
Magic to mass. The foundation of Alchemy.
The Philosopher's Stone could turn lead into gold. The magical principle boiled down to a single sentence: not enough mass, so magic makes up the difference.
Regulus had never studied Alchemy and couldn't claim to understand it, but the physics were straightforward. You poured magic in, and it became the protons, neutrons, and electrons that a gold atom needed.
