Seikatsu Mahoutsukai no Gekokujou - Ch. 1.2

Life magic isn’t LIFE MAGIC. It is daily lifestyle magic. So magic to make life easy.

 

[Nyaako]

Well, I can see why they're asking for proofreaders. Some dialogue don't flow well and there are careless mistakes like calling Yuki "Mrs." when she's a student and likely not married.

Mow. What a dangerous magic. Non-bald people should not oppose this MC.

 

[JACGohu]

I can appreciate what the author's doing with the application of the MC's magic. Many fantasy stories largely have many...intellectually undeveloped...side-characters in influential positions, whose gauge of magic power is how easily it can be used to destroy something with simple concepts of how to use the magic in its raw form. Magic though is influenced by the mind and the mental picture of the caster, so it only stands to reason its limits aside from mana capacity, are only what you can think of to do with it.

Kenja no Mago would be an OP example. Before Shin, Wind (whoosh), Fire (burn), Lightning (Zap), Ice (Freeze), etc.

Shin: flammable gas + pack it really dense + superheat + constrict with a lightning funnel => launch down the lightning funnel = Particle Beam. Carves a channel out of the landscape and the nearby mountain range.

you're probably not going to like the reason why it's like this or the mechanics of this world.

Spoiler: how it works

So, life magic is incorrectly named. It's D-particle (magic particle) manipulation magic. Basically raw magic into specific forms. As for how magic works for a typical person, magic is divided into different categories (enhancement, attack, analysis, life, healing, etc.) and you have a level for that categories and a talent(how fast level increases) for it. This can all be seen through status or analysis magic (girl at the end has a good talent rank for analysis magic and checked the teachers talent rank for life magic).

Now, how they learn magic is that the stare at the magics magic circle (really, they don't think about or dissect it, they just stare) and after a period of time based on their talent rank, they will just learn the spell. Someone who knows the spell can copy the circle and distribute it for learning. Commonly used spells appear more in dungeons (new spells are rare).

Now, the exception. There are sages who can just create new spells and distribute them. I think there's only, like, 11 or 12 people who can do this. The reason life magic is like this and has these spells is because the last sage of this categorie of magic only figured out how to use it for utility. That doesn't mean they weren't clever, they figured out how to use it to process materials made of d-particles along with other spells to assist in the processing, but they didn't come up with a way for those spells to keep up with the attack scaling of attack magic. Attack magic starts with 'bullet' spells which, at level 0, is about as strong as a gun. The same spell will hit harder as the user levels attack magic, which doesn't happen with the utility spells of life magic. In fact, all other categories have their spells improve directly as you level the category but life magic just lets you use more of the same spell concurrently. Mc figures out that he could get more force out of them by layering them on top of each other and having them all move in the same direction, making it comparable.

So, when mc becomes the next life sage, that's when creativity comes into play. He'll start rearranging the d-particle planes into stackable shapes like hollow blades, hollow cones, or hollow half spheres(this one is more effective for applying element like effects).

That said, due to the part where I said the creativity came into play for the mc and the mc's goals, I think this one stood out as a game fantasy novel.

Spoiler: MC's goals

The mc, despite his looks, is actually pretty sincere about advocating for life magic. He goes out and tries to make a name for himself as a combat "life" mage. He also readily makes apprentices/students of anyone with a talent for life magic, starting first with a group of students but then teaching adults and other people he meets out in the world.

On the contrary, what I appreciate is his creativity. Now, or what he'll eventually become. It's like the difference in looking for a screwdriver to turn a self-tapping wood screw into a plank, versus someone who can't or worse, won't, and just try to bash it in with a rock.

hmm, sure why not, not throw out of a party/job just massively underestimated
Just the fact that he is able to take down monster with magic show that it has potential and it need to be explored with a creative mind
