Akuyaku Reijou Tensei Oji-san (Web Comic) - Ch. 8

@Amarrez
While I noticed the English typo right away, it took a second till I compared the kanji, which made it more obvious. Maybe taking out the "i" instead of "o" would be more fitting as a more noticeable typo. "suspenson"

Regardless, thanks for the translation.

The best thing here is that he didn't use fucking coding as the language for the magic like it happens 99% o fthe time.

LOLOLOL misspelled the word XD

I like this magic system. It's untuitive, versatile, and easy to use. Good job, author!

@unime Once you get to be my age you'll also not be a stickler for the details. Don't sweat the small stuff kiddo. 😄

@faruq9854 Exactly, the spelling doesn't matter but the intent, does that mean the manga artist deliberately misspelled the spell?

 

[mimicking]

wait so made up languages are okay too? as long as you can understand it, right? so you can make your own system? or use pop culture languages like the enchantment table, klingon, dothraki, etc?

edit: oh cool. just as long as you understand it.

Based old man, no need for anything fancy

"Magic"

but if everyone know ancient text, ancient-text-based magic still count as something observer could know, right?
the magic concept is really simple, imo. the problem now is how fast you write, and how strong your intention.
i guess people in that world transfixed with 'ancient text'-magic based

@Aldis So a smart person (or a family) can create their own language as long as that language has meaning for the user then the magic should work though I think symbols would be the most effective form of language to use considering they are faster to write.

maybe each magic family has their own coded language, with how some of the students assume the MC use the family language I assume Noble families would have their own language system to be use in magic, or advance mages are advice to make their own codes they are probably just teaching the basics that's why they are using a common language for teaching.

now the way how mages battle works assuming they don't know the meaning of the language their opponents is then a mage with great memory and learning skill would have the advantage considering just seeing the spell a few times could make you learn the word their writing and understand it's meaning by looking at the effect. so yeah faster writing speed could counter it considering they have to see you write it first . predicting could also be a factor cause intention is a lot more important than the word itself so if you can predict you opponents intent then you can hijack their magic.

the magic system is quite interesting tbh you can probably create a battle manga out of this and it would be sprinkled with language facts, I have only seen one manga that talks about language and it's about a guy moving to an island full of monsters trying to learn their language accompanied by a loli wolf girl.

need enlightenment I smell there's a kanji reading reference here.
Oh gracious one heed my prayer.

 

[Aldis]

@greatninja3 Indeed. And the fact that the students see Lady Grace's magic as magnificent probably means that in that world actualize the 'intention' via 'language' to magic might be difficult. The common 'language' helps and days by days people may find how each stroke (of symbol/language... well, text is basically a symbol...) help them a lot (thus family's secret). They just barely know how to 'connect' this 'intention' and 'symbol'/'language' to optimize the intended magic. Grace may also have talent as well.

Usually a story with magic like this will talking about 'imagination' (the intention?), but it seems not the case...? Or maybe the Magic Knight Rayearth's thing of 'will' to create magic? Now I thought about it more, the simple concept looks more interesting...

 

[SakuraShower]

But if everyone understand the ancient language, wouldn't the spell still be interrupted?

 

[TheDarkStar]

Fora second I was expecting him to create a full size Gundam. But I guess that would’ve been hard to explain away in universe.

 

[sunsetchaos]

so he misspelled it but it works 🤔
