Is Magic really just a wish machine?
No! In a universe where Magic truly exists, the ultimate nature of Magic must be as simple and aesthetically pleasing as the laws of physics.
This is the story of a mass-produced magical war tool who learned the ultimate nature of Magic.
But what of it?
Just as birds can fly without understanding aerodynamics, magicians can use Magic without grasping its ultimate nature.
Learning the ultimate nature of Magic doesn't mean the tool can instantly transform into a great magician.
But yearning for knowledge is a human instinct, and curiosity is the primary driving force of human civilization. Even for Magic, which should seemingly defy explanation, humans hope to understand its inherent operational laws.
The pursuit of Magic's ultimate nature requires no reason!
The story in this book takes place in an era where steel and gunpowder dance together.
Here, firearms are on the rise; armor remains the main character; military theory is changing rapidly, with endless innovations in systems and techniques. And this world has something more than ours: Magic.
The world is undergoing a profound transformation, and no one can remain detached from it...

As he followed the prints, he heard a growling noise. Suddenly, a creature with toes like daggers jumped out at him. The hiker ran for his life, but the creature chased him. He could feel its toes scratching at his heels. Finally, he found a cave and hid inside. He peeked out and saw the creature's toes pacing outside the cave all night.

There was a girl who always had this feeling that something was wrong with her big toe. Every night, she would have a nightmare where a long - fingered hand would come out from under her bed and start squeezing her big toe. One day, she woke up to find a bruise on her big toe exactly like in her dreams. From that day on, she was too scared to sleep alone, always fearing the return of that unseen hand.
The skinny toe ghost story has been passed down in my town for generations. Legend has it that in a foggy forest, there lives a skinny - toe ghost. It used to be a hiker who got lost and died. His toes became long and skinny from all the walking in the forest. If you walk through the forest at dusk, you might see a faint figure with skinny toes emerging from the trees. It will follow you, and if you look back, you'll see its sad, ghostly face. Some say it's just a myth to keep kids from wandering in the forest alone, but others swear they've had encounters with it.

Some villagers even said they heard it whispering strange spells as it hopped from tombstone to tombstone.
