After crossing over into a world of magic, Dean Bruce was mistaken for a powerful sorcerer. Though he initially intended to sternly refuse the beautiful woman’s request to become her mentor, she offered him far too much to say no!
Completely clueless about magic, Dean Bruce had no choice but to make up spells on the spot. However, when he saw the astonishing power unleashed by the beautiful woman after chanting his random incantations, he was stunned.
The spells he had carelessly invented… could they really comprehend magic and even forbidden spells?
As Dean Bruce ascended to the pinnacle of magical prowess and became the Archmage, he candidly answered a reporter's question during an interview with the Alliance: "I never understood magic. I just made up a few incantations, that's all."
People were in awe of him—this, they believed, was the true humility of a Grand Archmage!

I Made Up Forbidden Spells, and They Actually Worked?

Nicholas William had been following Dean Bruce all day long and had never once separated from him. Logically speaking, if Nicholas had fallen into a trap, then Dean Bruce shouldn't have been unaffected either.

After pondering for a moment, Dean Bruce finally identified the cause.

The food and wine served at the banquet!

Dean Bruce hadn't taken a single bite of food, and when people tried to toast him, he skillfully evaded by steering the conversation elsewhere!

The medium must have been the food and wine. That's the only way Nicholas could have been affected despite the considerable distance from the one in the shadows.

[In that case, the mastermind must be Miranda Joy or Prani Joy. They're the only ones with authority over the royal court.]

[Another suspect is the Gold family, which controls the entire Imperial Guard. They could have easily tampered with the banquet.]
