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.
But what of it?

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

Arson didn't require too many people; Andre divided his subordinates into five teams, each headed to different parts of the desolate areas.
