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.

Learning the ultimate nature of Magic doesn't mean the tool can instantly transform into a great magician.

During the season when horses grow fat in autumn, September and October are traditionally the Herders' season for raiding and waging war.


As early as the beginning of spring, when the Paratu Standing Army returned in a crushing defeat, the tribal chiefs were already contemplating a raid in autumn.


By June, new news came—there was infighting among the Paratu People! The tribal chiefs were even more elated and busily prepared their armies, intending to strike big.
