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.

Only Winters and Sasha stood in the cold autumn breeze, discussing the matter of "forging" seriously.


"Forging... isn't free, is it?" Winters narrowed his eyes.
