5 days after Halt transmigrated

Halt-sama. We will be using magic other than fire.

Yes!

Tina was teaching 5 year old Halt magic at the annex of the Silveray mansion that had been set-aside as a training hall.

This might seem sudden, but please answer my question. Please name the four fundamental magic attributes that exist in this world.

Fire, water, earth, wind those four, right?

Correct. The four attributes you just mentioned are known as the [Four Elemental Magic].

Tina wrote the four elemental magic on the blackboard of the training hall, and she also wrote the corresponding chants for each of them.

Four Elemental Magic

Fire Fire

Water Water

Wind Wind

Earth Earth

Can you name attributes other than the four elemental magic?

Yup! The Cosmic Dual Magic Light and Darkness. The chant for Light Magic is Holy, while for Darkness Magic, its Dark.

Excellent. Correct.

Cosmic Dual Magic

Light (Healing) Holy

Dark (Curse) Dark

Light Magic is also known as Holy Magic. Healing Magic, like the spell [Heal] is also classified under Light Magic.

Curses are classified under Dark Magic.

Well then, how about naming theCompound Magicthat you get from fusing the Four Elemental Magic together in other words, you can use them by combining them together?

Of course! Fire and Wind Magic will create [Flames], Water and Wind will create [Ice], Wind and Earth

Halt named the magic combination successively and Tina wrote them all down on the blackboard.

Compound Magic (Basic)

Fire + Wind Flames Flame

Water + Wind Ice Ice

Wind + Earth Lightning Thunder

Water + Fire Fog Mist (Illusion/Captivation Magic)

Earth + Water Trees Wood

Earth + Fire Iron Iron (Alchemy)

Yes, everything is correct.

Tina, youve been reading books about magic to me since a long time ago, so its only natural that Ill remember this much.

Haruto Saijou, a person from another world, transmigrated into the body of Halt, a five-year old boy in this world. Haruto and Halts souls merged, so Halt has the memories of Haruto, as well as Halts up to the age of five.

Although he couldnt train in magic until he turned five, Tina made sure that Halt learned about magic by reading books to him.

Moreover, Halt also has a combat occupation of Sagethanks to being transmigrated into this world.

Sages have improved memory and their knowledge about magic would also increase. Moreover, the amount of mana they could use also increases, and they could manipulate mana at will.

It would be very hard for ordinary people to use Compound Magic, but it was just a piece of cake for Halt because hes a Sage.

He confirmed that he could use all types of Compound Magic by combining the Four Elemental Magic yesterday, the fourth day since he transmigrated.

But I still dont understand how earth and wind can become thunder magic.

Halt has knowledge of his previous world, and based on that knowledge, he couldnt help but feel that the combination for making thunder magic didnt seem to fit what he knew.

He had been secretly testing Compound Magic behind Tinas back, however, for some reason, only Thunder Magic didnt go well. It was far more difficult to use than the other magic during that time.

Halt thought that it was probably because he couldnt imagine the constituents of that particular magic.

In this world, the effects of magic heavily depend on the imagination of the caster. If the caster didnt have a clear, concrete image of the spell he wanted to cast, the magic itself wouldnt be activated.

Halt knew that actual lightning and thunder are caused by the friction of ice in the atmosphere, so he just couldnt picture how earth and wind could combine to form thunderbolts.

Indeed. Actually, Lightning Magic is more difficult to use compared to other Fusion Magic.

I see.

Yes. Actually, Lightning Magic doesnt simply use Wind Magic as it is. You have to blend Water Magic into Wind Magic and infuse the attribute of Ice Magic in it. As a result, youll be using Wind Magic with hints of Ice Magic.

Real Lightning Magic

Wind + Water + Earth Lightning

Heh. So, in order to use Lightning Magic, I have to fuse three types of magic, right?

That is correct. When small particles of ice rub against each other, lightning is produced. That lightning possesses the attribute to move towards the earth. By guiding that thunderbolt towards the ground, right on to the target using Earth Magic, youll be able to produce a Lightning Magic.

So thats how it is!

Thanks to Tinas explanation, Halt finally formed a clear image of Lightning Magic in his mind.

However, even if you have a clear picture of Lightning Magic in your mind, please be reminded that combining three attributes and blending them together is an extremely difficult feat. Only a handful of people could use it. That limited number of people with the potential for magic are allowed to use this very powerful spell known as the Lightning Magic.

Only mages who had spent a long period of time studying magic, and the heroes from the other world summoned to defeat the Demon King, were allowed to use this spell.

Halt might not have been able to visualize it, he still managed to invoke Lightning Magic.

Thats because Halt was a Sage summoned from the other world by no other than the Evil God.

He managed to invoke that spell by virtue of his occupation as Sage even without being able to imagine how Lightning Magic worked. But now, he was more equipped to produce the perfect power that could create the Lightning Magic, because he could picture it clearly and he also got the skills to do it.

.

And so

Teacher Tina, I want to try Lightning Magic!

Halt wanted to try, so he declared that he wanted to use Lightning Magic.
