"But I won't talk about genetics here, if we have good genetics on using magic but we don't work hard then what we have will soon vanish when we aged."

"Levels of magic are classified into 4 levels: The beginner, the advancer, the half master and the master...do you understand what I'm teaching, John?"

"Of course, Princess! Continue." - Well, I would not read the book, I would hear Shera for the details

"Well, I will try to brief the lesson with easy meanings, okay...so." - Shera seemed to want to take a bit of time to think about the words she was about to say out

"In the beginner, you are just new to magic so you will have the spell in your mind before casting and have to close your eyes and spell the words during casting the spell." - Okay!

"Then how you can see your target while casting the spell when your eyes are closed?" - I was curious!

"That's impossible, John! The beginners are very bad at shooting targets, they have to close their eyes so their magic accuracy is also low." - Like the way when we newly use the rifle's iron sight

"The beginners are taught to cast the spell daily to increase their magic power stamina and their time to casting, even to get used to the spell the cast until they can cast with both eyes open."

"As I can remember, John! The beginners need more than 10 seconds to cast the spell and they have to close their eyes, spell the words and raise their hand to the target while casting, that's all." - 10 seconds to cast a spell was quite long to me

"Move to the next one, Princess."

"Alright, the next is the advancer, when you have used to using magic when your mind can remember the spell properly then you can open both of your eyes while casting. The requirement is still spelling the words, your magic's accuracy has now improved when both of your eyes are opened."

"Well the advancers need about less than 10 seconds to cast a spell, I mean the normal spells, not the basic spells, the basic spells need less than 5 seconds to cast." - Cast magic less than 10 seconds is still slow to me

"If you use regularly a spell for a long time then that spell will gradually stronger and better, should I move to the next one, John?" - Okay, Princess! If I didn't remember all then Advisor would remember it to me

"Continue."

"Two last levels are called the half master and the master, the half masters are very regular to see in the mages army but the masters are rare, they are truly invincible." - These two last levels seemed dangerous for my world army's infantry unit

"If you're a half master, you can cut short the words when you are casting magic, for example: Fire spear, you can cut short the word by saying it Fire or spear."

"Well, about the time to cast the spell, the half masters need about 5 seconds or less, I think! With the basic spells, they will only need 1 second or even cast the spells immediately." - If we get ambushed by the mages and cannot detect them within 5 seconds, that would be dangerous

"The last level is called the master, when you get on this level, you will be able to cast the spell without spelling the words, when you raise your hand to the target, the spell will be cast immediately." - The most dangerous one is here

"It's the most special and also the most difficult level, John! You can control the spell to let it shoot to the target and can even load your spell before you cast." - I didn't understand a bit

"Wait a bit, Princess! What do you mean by controlling the spells?"

"When you are in the 3 previous levels, you have to use your eyes and your hand to aim and to cast the spell, it's like an archer shooting a target from dozens of meters." - So it's also like the way we shoot a gun, so if I can use magic but I point my hand to the wrong direction then casting the spell will be useless
