It probably can't apply to a whole different system B.
My problem is not quite there, but in the comment that Grain makes in a generic way that "magic is knowledge".
Maybe this only applies to system B.
Or maybe it's just badly translated.
In any case, this comment from Grain is wrong in absolute as demonstrated by Zeff's "reset".
Then again, I can imagine a reason to conciliate both, with hints from previous chapters. With "young Zeff" talking to "old Zeff", it is possible that the knowledge transfer back in time was partial or compartmented... and that more is still locked within "old Zeff". And "old Zeff"'s magic would be similarly locked. If that's the case, the author has to explain that soon, or the story will be broken by this seemingly off-hand comment. Or the translation team, if it's a translation issue.
That is something I agree with. "Magic scope" is a spell in magic system A, made to measure people's skills in magic system A.As a matter of fact "magic scope" isn't an almighty divine tools/spell granted to the MC by some gods that let the user see everything about everything; it's a simple spell invented by a human who only knows the current magic system. It's plausible that spell cannot display information about a different system.
