So it seems that even within the darkness element, there are different levels of magical power. It starts from level 1, but I wonder what the highest level is..... Out of curiousity, I flip to the last page in the darkness magic section of the book.

『The highest level is unknown.』

Unknown!?

.......That's right. I remember now!

For the five main elementsーdarkness, light, water, wind, and fireーno one knows what the highest levels are.

And this book's records only go up to level 100.

As for in the game, level 100 was thought to be basically the pinnacle of magical power since aside from only two people, namely Duke-Sama and the heroine, no one else was known to have surpassed it......

Wait, doesn't that mean that regardless of how hard I try, Alicia won't be able to exceed level 100?

......No way. So it's pointless no matter what I do?

What's with this Otome game? That's not fair! Agh, I want to lodge a complaint with the creators.

But, wait.... Alicia seems to be someone who can do whatever she puts her mind to.... So maybe if I train extra hard from now on, I might just be able to overcome the level hurdle?

Though, well, first I should learn how to use the level 1 spells1 I suppose.

But even though I was able to find this book describing the different types of magic and spells, I still haven't found any books about how to actually use magic.

Well, baby steps I guess. For now, let's just focus on learning what sort of magic exists in this world.

I pore over the book starting from the descriptions of the level 1 spells.

Seeing the variety of applications, I'm starting to feel a little excited. There really is all manner of different types of magic...... For instance, I wonder if there will ever come a day when I'm actually able to use this spell to close a door?

Although it's called darkness magic, the effects of these spells don't seem to be particularly dark nor sinister.

Like, once you reach level 10, there is a spell with the power to clean things that you can use!!

That's super convenient. I spill things on my dresses all the time so I'd love to be able to use that spell!

And on the page denoting level 50 there's a note:

『Level 50 magic can only be used by the upper nobility.』

Oh, then that means I should have no problem using it, right? As long as I practice really hard, of course.

Level 50...... I have this feeling that the Alicia from the game didn't actually get to that poi.......

At level 50 you become able to create magical barriers......! So that means that the one who created that barrier around the impoverished village must have been an upper-class noble.....!

I continue to read through the book, completely fascinated, and before I know it I had already reached level 80. It was around there that I read something that made me pause.

......Magic to exchange something of someone else's with something of yours?2

『At level 87 you can exchange pieces of yourself with the corresponding parts of someone else.

Things such as your internal organs, skin, hair, or eyes are examples of exchangeable items.

This spell is unique to darkness magic.』
