The book of magic

Once Ikky made the first English copy of the introduction to the magic book, Ronin and himself were able to make 20 copies together. They finally had a list of potential scholars, and getting the community to release them from other upcoming responsibilities wasn't difficult given how relevant magical advancements were to all players.

The group was very diverse, beyond the heroes and friends, including Ronin, Perl, Shiro, Elsine, Arabastra, YunYun, and Ikky himself. The rest of the group had been specially selected and invited by Ronin, who was the only one among them who had dedicated his time to teaching, preparing, and speaking with the mage-type players, choosing from among them those he believed to be most capable or willing.
