Is magic really just a wish-granting machine? No, in a universe where magic truly exists, magic would be as simple and beautiful as the laws of physics. This is the story of a mass-produced magic combat tool who learns the ultimate essence of magic. But so what? Just as birds can fly without understanding aerodynamics, magicians don't need to understand the nature of magic to use it. Knowing the ultimate nature of magic does not mean that a tool can suddenly become a great magician. But the thirst for knowledge is a human instinct, and curiosity is the primary driving force of human civilization. Even with magic, which is inherently illogical, humans still hope to understand its underlying workings. The pursuit of the ultimate nature of magic needs no reason! The story takes place in a parallel universe where the social environment is roughly equivalent to that of our universe in the 16th century. However, due to a butterfly effect, the continents and oceans of this planet are not exactly the same as our geographical environment. Here, firearms are on the rise, but armor has not yet fallen out of favor; military theory is evolving rapidly, and innovations in systems and technology are emerging one after another. Moreover, this world has something else that we don't: magic. The world is undergoing tremendous changes, and no one can remain unaffected.
