33 Not a chapter, just an info update.

"This is just me changing some stuff here and there and isn't really a chapter. If you only want to know what changed, you can just skip to the bottom where it's pretty much told what is changed."

"The next chapter is also almost done, so it should be out this week as well if everything goes as planned."

-----------------------------------------------------

Hello Observers! You may or may not know me as Narrator-kun, the one who has been telling you all the stories about the things that happen in the world Iledoya resides in.

I mean after all, If it wasn't because there was I, to tell you all the stories… then the story wouldn't be told in a third party point of view.

Anyway, this time I am here not to tell you the story of the Iledoya though. But about the beings in higher dimensions.

The Avatar of the Fundamentals? Well yeah, sure they are beings from a higher dimension, but not them. Even higher!

"Okay you can cut that out now."

But why!? I haven't even said thine name yet!

"And that would not be necessary! Geez. You just have to say what Ed and I have decided on. As simple as that!"

But… but…

"No butts, you 1.5-dimensional being who only resides in my story."

Yes. Alright then.

"Anyway, back on topic. So the first thing I need to write into their history is a term for their source of their magic."

Oh yes, you never really gave them a word for that. You used the word Magic itself for both Magic, and the fuel for Magic. I bet that sentence I just said is so confusing exactly because of that!

"That's right. It might become hard for certain parts to be understood if you keep using the word magic for the fuel of magic. So Ed, what do you think?"

"As we have discussed earlier, I think mana is the most suitable."

"And that's how it's going to be from now on!"

And so with a few keystrokes, a new lore has been written into the world Iledoya resides in. Wait, is it okay for me to narrate that?

"Of course, that's what you are meant to do."

Yay! So what's next?

"The method to upgrade one's Magic Grade I assume?"

"Yep, that's it Ed. Narrator-kun has already foreshadowed it with the rewards that Iledoya had chosen from the tournament"

Oh the book by Eduuaertdo! Magica Construct and Methodos Theories was it? So what is that?

"Magica Construct is umm… actually you know what? I don't really like that name… Might have to think of another one… So is Methodos. Might have to think of another system to implement into the world"

How about starting from the basic; How does someone use magic?

The soul contains the memory and consciousness of someone

The spirit contains the mana and links the soul to the body.

The body contains both the soul and the spirit and helps remove the [!$#@#^%(&*] from the air to convert it into mana, as if it's a filtration device.

So the grade of the magic is determined by what exactly?

"A good start I suppose."

"tell me, does everyone get their attributes when they are born or?"

"I… never really thought about that… Okay, then it should be that they are born with magic but it is only unlocked when they reached 6 years old. Oh and rename [!$#@#^%(&*] to Primordial Energy."

Huh… Okay, so somehow children have their magic locked until 6 years old, and now mana comes from the body processing this Primordial Energy?

"Yeah. I like the feeling of power that is brought with the word Primordial, so let's use that."

But as you say, Primordial sounds like something powerful. Don't you think there should be another name for something that just floats around everywhere in the air?

"... you're right. Then change the function of the body." After a few moments "Narrate this"

The body both the soul and the spirit. It also what gives the attribute to the mana it absorbs from around it. Wait this means?

"Primordial Energy is now beginning state of mana. Before there was mana, there was Primordial Energy. While at this age most Primordial Energy has turned into its weaker form, which is mana, it still exists"

So what's with this Primordial Energy? Why is it necessary to exist?

"THAT'S IT *-* why didn't I think about it sooner! by absorbing the Primordial Energy, people are able to advance their grade!"

"I think we've also discused that :v Like training to advance or meditating, was it?"

"Oh… Yes we did talk about that… Ah! but they don't really have the method for cultivating yet. For now, all they know is that they can advance their magic through aging, exercise, and just raw innate talent. So even the concept of Primordial Energy isn't something they know of"

"Yeah, that sounds great. Even in 10,000 years the magic knowledge hasn't really advanced"

"Oh there's that… hmmm… AH! precisely because it's hard to advance their grade, that they looked towards the technological use of magic! and thus magic tools of all sorts came to be."

Huh… So have you decided on a system?

"Yeah, Sure. The body absorbs the attributeless mana in the air. When it absorbs it, it is given an attribute and grade before being stored in the spirit. The consciousness in the soul is the one that would decide how to use the mana it now has for its magic!"

Then how do they advance their grade?

"Absorb the Primordial Energy that is in the air. Though it is much, much, MUCH more powerful than mana, it is harder to absorb and there aren't as much as mana."

And how do they absorb Primordial energy?

"The body naturally absorbs them at a slow rate as they grow up. The rate increases when they are exercise their magic more often. The rate at which they absorb it can also be called talent determined from birth."

Huh… And that's it?

"That's it."

Well okay then. To summarize the re-written aspect of the world:

Mana is now a thing. It is the fuel for magic. Similar to the mana in some RPG games.

The book by Eduuaertdo that Iledoya choose after the tournament is renamed to "Primordial"

Primordial Energy is a complex and powerful energy that is the source of mana. It is not as abundant as mana. By having the body absorb it, it can advance its Magic grade.

And that's it! Not so much changed.
