The brave man opened the coffin and rose

The reason why Abes praised the materialization of magic so much was because Sister Agatha had directly split the foundation of magic from talented high-end talents into completely different things such as production capacity and social structure.

Each world has its own logic of development. Relying on magic, this world naturally has its own industrial ecology.

For example, before switching to liquid fuel and closing the blast furnace, the steel mill in the capital of the small kingdom of Wommza hired mages at great expense to continuously output high-temperature flames.

Although there have been slight reforms over the past thousand years, the overall process has remained largely the same.

It’s not that the steel mills have a lot of money, nor is it that the mages deliberately seek to monopolize high temperatures.

Because ordinary people...can't do it.

Although there are magic weapons and various magic props such as image stones in this world.

The seeming lack of talent as a spellcaster does not prevent people from coming into contact with magic.

However, these things have not been completely opened up to civilians.

For example, the infused weapon in Abes's hand can be used by Abes even without the semi-caster profession of a bard.

However, such use is like someone lighting a torch through a fire starter and then passing it to someone else.

It works and is easy to use, like a light bulb that can only be turned on but cannot be turned off.

As time goes by, the magic power injected into it disappears and it becomes just a useless toy.

Magic weapons are the kind of weapons that require spellcasting talent to use.

From this perspective, magic items that ordinary people can access, such as the Photo Stone, should be called "magic items".

This problem is actually faced by all magic-related industries or industries that require magic in the world today.

The authorities could not see anything wrong, but Abes could see the problem at a glance.

Not fragmented enough, not modular enough, not advanced enough.

Take the steelworks in the capital of the tiny kingdom of Łomza, for example.

According to the information provided by Wilford, they had to hire wizards at a high price to cast spells and set fire every time they opened the furnace.

It can be a single wizard drawing and charging a magic circle, or multiple wizards directly casting spells.

However, ordinary people without spellcasting abilities simply cannot participate in this entire process.

Ordinary people cannot cast spells.

Ordinary people cannot charge and drive the magic circles or rune combinations left by the mages.

Even the magic circle cannot be started or stopped.

Even if it is reproduced one-to-one as required, it will not work at all.

The consensus among the academic community of mages is that drawing magic circles and carving rune combinations requires tiny amounts of magic power and precise involvement, so much so that ordinary people without spellcasting talent are completely unable to share in the work.

This made Abes feel extremely awkward.

It's like some people are born with a skill for making cars that can move at extremely high speeds.

As a result, ordinary people followed the steps and built the power systems such as oil and electricity, clutch and transmission systems bit by bit. Even the suspension system was built one by one, but they just couldn't start the car.

The most infuriating thing is that even if they don't build another one themselves, or even just use the car they left behind, it's impossible for you to sit in it, turn the key and start the engine.

If you want to go fast, you either have to spend money or take a taxi from those people who are born with their own cars.

This was the approach used by the steel mills in the royal capital before, hiring mages to provide high-temperature flames.

Or, develop a high-speed means of transportation that is completely different from cars, train leg muscles to run, or create a bicycle or even a scooter.

This is how the steel mills in the capital are doing it now, building closed blast furnaces and using alcohol liquid fuel which is more efficient than coal.

This is where Abes feels awkward.

Magic science, magic technology, and magic industry, the key is to split, modularize, and yet integrate them into one.

Like a steel mill, it only uses wizards to light a fire, which cannot be considered a magical steel industry.

The knowledge and technology provided by Sister Agatha are completely different from other magical industries in the past thousand years.

By capturing the magical power that disappeared and reappeared from the human body when using divine magic, Sister Agatha successfully materialized the magical power.

"These things have many direct effects, kid, you can ask the wizard lady who came with you."

Upon hearing this, Abes looked up at Hiiragi, and the wizard who was holding his head also raised his head slightly.

"My past knowledge is like a joke... if these crystals are materialized magic."

"The simplest one is charging, which replenishes spell slots for spellcasters, or charges already drawn magic circles and rune sets."

Little blue bottle?

Abes nodded with interest.

In various fantasy modules like DND, the small blue bottle is actually an uncommon product.

The most common ways to restore spell slots are through long and short rests.

Elixirs and ointments for restoring spell slots, under the rules of dnd-like...are expensive.

Have I accidentally started the research on the little blue bottle?

On the side, Bing Nagi also lamented the passage of time.

Charging is actually nothing new. Self-charging rune combinations have existed for a long time.

But few people use it because it is too inefficient.

It uses the energy provided by the free magic power in nature, but its output efficiency is not as good as any spell above the third level, or any magic circle with slightly more branch requirements.

So in terms of practical efficiency, the simplest method is to charge manually.

Mages can naturally regenerate mana much faster than these busy and cumbersome self-charging rune combinations.

But now, if there is the magic of materialization.

As long as they held those crystals, it would be entirely possible for a non-caster who knew nothing to use magic weapons, magic items that were not infused with spells, already drawn magic circles, and assembled and engraved rune sets.

Moreover, since someone was the first to explain the difference between divine magic and arcane magic, can those seemingly mysterious common sense of magic also be deconstructed?

Why does a certain spell require certain materials?

Why does a certain spell only have a twenty-foot range?

Why does a certain spell require fixed gestures and language?

What do those tangled spells that have been passed down mean?

It is no exaggeration to say that Sister Agatha's move was a leap from knowing the facts to knowing the reasons behind them.

"I understand. I accept the knowledge and technology you have contributed to the Rebellion on behalf of the Rebellion."

Abes helped Sister Agatha up with great respect, and then asked.

"But why is that orc woman here with you?"

"Her elf husband has been looking for his wife for many days..."

Hearing Abes' question, Sister Agatha looked back and spoke only after confirming that Suta, the orc female, nodded to her.

"Suttar wanted to be baptized... to save her husband."
