The Villainess Does it With Class.《BOOK 2》

chapter 205

The contents of Est Magicae are just as what it means, the magic itself. I didn't get to read the entire book in one sitting and had only got to finish it in three days. Makes sense because the book was thicker than the first one and has broader information relayed. The first book was all about the history of why magic is sealed in Terra, while the second one talked more about magic and its subcategories within subcategories.

It was a long ride from the first to the last page and I really learned a lot. Much more than my initial research from the libraries I have visited. Starting from what is magic, where did it sprout from, was it always a natural occurrence, and more.

According to the book, magic is constant from the start. It is present in every place, nook and cranny, and corner of all universes. It truly surprised me.

I was like, 'Hmm… If that was true, then the world I came from also has magic?'

But there was nothing like that back there at all.. Magic wasn't practiced but instead, science was flourishing. Flying is possible with the use of modernity. Unlike the magic carpet here that flies because of magic, things fly because of advanced technology.

Plus the stuff that talks about magic and witchcraft are always linked to the occult and supernatural beliefs. And these beliefs are even frowned upon by the majority and are ruled as unrealistic.

So how come this book says it is everywhere?

And just like that, my question was then answered in the next paragraph. Apparently, those who can access magic are only possible for people that have an affinity for it. Everyone is blessed with mana inside them, whether it's humans, plants, animals, etcetera. As long as it has a soul.

But the said mana varies from person to person.

One can have a droplet of mana inside them while the truly blessed ones can have an ocean. And the even rarer ones are those who have an endless supply. Inexhaustible. And these people are the ones who can access magic easily.

The bigger and stronger your mana reserve, the higher the chance you can perform miracles. So in retrospect, everyone is truly capable of doing so, as long as they are aware of it.

But there are also underlying factors for people to use magic. Not just within themselves but the world they live in too. The likelihood of it is if the surroundings are teeming with spirits and magic particles, otherwise would be impossible.

Terra is filled with people like that and is also graced with these spirits. Before it was sealed off, that is. In our current case, magic can still be used but only for those who have blessed genes. They were the lucky ones who were spared and had avoided Solomon's punishment to mankind because they are literally the descendants of the Gods.

And thus why Earth is unable to practice them. Now that I think about it, it might be that they don't have direct access to magic because it lacks magic particles. If there is any, it is so minuscule that it's next to impossible to perform anything magical at all. Hence the reason why there are people who can execute miracles or something like that.

"Hmm… but why does it feel like there's more to it than what's perceived?" I muttered unconsciously.

I mean, I have read things about mythologies and stuff like that. There is even a dedicatedfield for them and has a great following too. People would even go crazy about them…

I mean, there wouldn't be smoke if there was no fire, right?

Hmmm...

Moving on. The concept of anima and spirits was also introduced to me and even though I have already heard of them before, the book had further explained them more clearly.
