magical power by themselves.
Let’s call this a ‘mental wave’.”

“Right.”

“These mental waves are the exclusive magical power that a mage can create to turn the surrounding Ether into Mana and Mana into energy to fuel their spells.”

Jin sensed what No.
700672 was trying to convey to him and redoubled his focus.

“Then, the process to activate a spell… Well, you seem to know this already, so let’s skip this part.

Up to this point, Jin had a firm understanding and followed along nicely.
Seeing this on Jin’s face made No.
700672 seem a bit happy.

“Hmm, you have a very strong comprehensive ability.
Let’s keep it up, shall we?”

“Sure.”

No.
700672 grinned.

“So what is this energy? With Fire-type magic, it’s heat energy.
With Wind-type magic, it’s kinetic energy… Do you see?”

No.
700672’s expression became even more joyful after seeing that Jin’s face as he nodded didn’t look like he was just pretending to understand.

“The magical power we call ‘force of will’ is amplified into a much stronger magical power that rules over energy.
This would be an explanation of magic from another angle.”

Jin had a hunch that they were finally approaching the core of the matter.

“The frequency of the magical power that can be used depends on its attribute.”

No.
700672 was talking about the same thing that Jin had been discussing with Saki the other day on Hourai Island.

“Well then, what frequency do the mental waves have?”

Jin and his friends didn’t understand that much either.
This is because they couldn’t quantify magic waves.

There was an Automata named Donna back at the Magi Craftsman Guild in Egelia Kingdom who was said to be able to read and understand the special characteristics of different types of magic..

However, she could only do so at a superficial level, and it was not a true analysis of every aspect of magic.

As an example, one could ask what is the relationship between AM radio radio waves and voice data.

Radio waves, which are carrier waves, have frequencies of about 530 kHz to about 1600 kHz, and their wave heights and waveforms represent voice data.

Since the human audible range is between 20 Hz to 20 kHz, it could be said that the carrier wave has a frequency of 1000 times or more than that of what human can actually hear.

Although this would not count as a detailed explanation of the principle behind radio waves, audio signals are extracted from radio broadcast waves through a process called demodulation.

But returning to the original topic…

The magical power that can be perceived by the general public could be seen as the “audio signal” in the previous example, and the “carrier wave” here is usually too high in frequency to be detected through normal means.

That was exactly what the explanation of No.
700672 was.

“Mental waves have a considerably high frequency among magic powers.”

This was the first time Jin had heard such a theory, and his gleaming eyes were proof of his excitement.
Seeing this, No.
700672 asked to test Jin out with a question.

“What attribute of Magi Crystal are you using for your Automata’s Ether Converter?”

“A generic one.”

Upon hearing that, No.
700627 shook his head.

“I thought as much.
After all, that’s an easy mistake to make.”

“What did you say!?”

Reiko had been silent so far, but hearing Jin’s work being challenged like that was something she simply couldn’t endure.

Her reaction caused Neige, who was clinging to No.
700672, to glare at her.

“Reiko, it’s okay… I understand.
You mean I should be using a Light or Dark Magi Crystal instead, correct?”

Upon hearing that, No.
700672 nodded with contentment.

“That’s right.
Dark-attribute Magi Crystals seem like the best choice due to their high frequency, but Light-attribute Magi Crystals are empirically known to be the most efficient.”

Of course, generic Magi Crystals also have the Light attribute within them.
But since all other attributes coexist as well, they are less efficient in terms of usability.

“But this is only for Ether Converters.
There isn’t a ‘most efficient’ Magi Crystal attribute when it comes to using spells, so generic ones will do just fine.”

“I see.”

The information Jin had learned thus far was very useful.

“Now, with this, you seem to have understood quite a bit about the power to manipulate and control Ether through what I’ve told you so far.”

“Yeah, that’s right.”

Jin quickly nodded.

“Well, how do you control magic power? Of course, the source is mental power.
You can’t exceed the limits of their frequency.
How would you go about it?”

“How indeed? Right now, I don’t have the means to tell a magic wave’s frequency.”

“Hmm, that’s quite frankly put… Neige, please guide him.”

“Yes, Father.”

Such a simple exchange was enough for Neige to understand what her father wanted her to do.
She then took one of Jin’s hands and pulled it, leading it to the front of one of the “windows” attached to the wall.

“Unleash some of your magic power towards that ‘window’.
The color it changes into will tell us a lot.”

“Got it.”

Jin gathered magic power on his palm and directed it at the window.

“Oh!”

No.
700672’s voice came out with a surprised tone.
Jin, however, didn’t understand what he was supposed to be suprised about.

“What’s this?”

The dark window was glowing in a bright blue color.
