What kind of screwed up country is that? Dude lives in a fancy palace, surrounded by lush nature, not sand desert, yet wouldn't take baths because they are "expensive". Instead he would wipe himself with wet clothes. Is that for a religous reason or what, huh?

Versailles moment

Do not overlook that he bribed Mel for her complete silence by promising to read her a story.

 

[Anything_Random]

He can't make a spell that gives some of his mana to someone else? That'd at least temporarily help his mother.
And why isn't he checking his mother now, she could literally be in her deathbed this time, because he's being lackadaisical.

How would checking on his mother help in any way? There'd be nothing at all that he could do to help her if it was low. Also I think he knows roughly when she'll die from the plot of the game, and even just visually you can see that her condition hasn't gotten too bad yet.

I'm confused as to how the 1 liter thing translated into creating a new magic.

Even in a fantasy world we can't be free of the metric blight.

Ya'll fuckers talk about plumbing and water magic, while I'm here thinking to myself: "So he just decided 1 mp = 1 use of a spell, and poof, a complicated measurement method was generated? WTF?"

If it was an actual video game world, it wouldn't be a problem. But it doesn't seem to be the case here.

 

[BalrogDeMorgoth]

No but why does making calculation in his head translate into creating a magic that automatically tell him stuff without having them also spam the 1 liter spell until exhausted so he can also calculate it?

That's what I was talking about too.

Not to mention that, he's likely going to use it to measure other people -- when there's no data on how many liter-spells they can use.
The magic system here is so soft, that it's a wonder the MC also didn't invent a spell to heal his mother by imagining her to "be healthy".
The woes of overly soft systems.

 

[Rumimi]

the magic creation process was very cool :3

I'm confused as to how the 1 liter thing translated into creating a new magic.

Step 1: used 1 liter cups as the unit of mana measurement by means of the “Create Water” spellcasting.

Step 2: solidified (by gaining experience) his mental image of mana measurement and hence created an original spell of mana measurement that happens directly (and thus no longer needs any intermediate creation of water).

 

[Psychronia]

Honestly...yeah. That's a clever way to number-ize mana consumption. It's reliability and scale might need to be adjusted depending on the person, but this is very functional for his purposes.

 

[lenovoaxioo]

The author sure love to copy everything from left and right. . . Quite blatantly

 

[7goat]

Knowing how much mana you have is meaningless if you don't know the mana cost for each spell you use. But hey, that's completely irrelevant because now he has a tulpa conveniently whispering the relevant information in his head. Magic!

Edit: Okay, it was mostly used as reference to test the effectiveness of the various mana recovery medicine prototypes, so it is extremely useful in this context.

 

[Mithgol]

Knowing how much mana you have is meaningless if you don't know the mana cost for each spell you use.

Of course it's not meaningless.

If you don't know the cost of a spell, just cast the spell and remember to measure the mana you have before and after casting that spell. Subtract the latter value from the former. Such subtraction's result is always the previously unknown cost of your spell plus the known cost of the measurement itself.

The rest should be obvious.
