Xingqi's Nine Realms is prominent, so this is my first post (playing it cool).

Please consider this as something that slipped out due to withdrawal symptoms from the Setting Talk Syndrome. After writing the setting, I realized this is information I shouldn't be releasing now, so I'm reluctantly making it a worm-eaten text...

**Magic in the Shangri-La Frontier World**

All living beings and monsters absorb "magic power" from the atmosphere through breathing or similar actions, and by converting the absorbed magic power into specific phenomena, they release it outside their bodies or permeate it into themselves to cast magic. In other words, magic is a system similar to a type of breathing exercise, and its output is greatly influenced by the individual's health condition and inherent nature. It can be thought of as similar to lung capacity or alcohol tolerance. In most cases, humans are not born with practical magic aptitude, and magic is a kind of talent.

In general, the nature, output, and attributes of magic vary from individual to individual. This nature is usually inherited from parents to children, from ancestors to descendants, but it is not always the case that the magic aptitude of parents and children aligns. Therefore, it is not uncommon for a child who excels in wind attribute magic to be born to a father who excels in fire attribute magic and a mother who excels in water attribute magic.

Magic is generally categorized into "Attribute Magic," "Enhancement Magic," "Interference Magic," and "Others."

**Attribute Magic** is magic that converts absorbed magic power into a specific attribute, and nearly half of humans have an aptitude for this type of magic. It is generally a mimicry of natural phenomena, dealing with elemental attributes such as fire, water, wind, and earth, but in rare cases, it can also handle light, darkness, or even conceptual attributes.

**Enhancement Magic** is magic that enhances physical abilities and the five senses by permeating magic power into one's own body. It is the second most common type of magic after attribute magic. Most of the so-called "racial magic" also falls into this category. It is often confused with "skills," but while the results may be similar, the principles are entirely different. To put it simply, magic uses the brain, while skills use the body.

**Interference Magic** is a type of enhancement magic on a larger scale, but unlike enhancement magic, which interferes with oneself, it primarily interferes with others. Due to its nature of permeating one's own magic power into another's body, there are few who can perform it at a practical level even if they have the aptitude. Interference magic requires either the dexterity to align one's own magic power with another's body's wavelength or the strength of magic power to overwrite another's body's wavelength, or both.

There are many types of magic that do not fall into these categories. These can be a combination of the characteristics of the aforementioned types of magic or an intervention in concepts that deviate from physical laws. Like the relationship between enhancement magic and skills, the results may be similar, but the inner workings are often entirely different.

In general, vulnerable races that do not typically use magic are sometimes born with race-specific magic called "racial magic." For example, the "Stronger Summoning" magic possessed by the Voral Bunny and the Kett-Chee is a racial characteristic that the Voral Bunny is born with.

Magic Theory

It has been proven that certain actions within the atmosphere of this world can transform its properties and energy into something else. By utilizing this, we have decided to call the unknown mystical symbols that we have collected and used to generate specific phenomena and programs "magic."

Based on the investigation, it is hypothesized that Bahamut has been repeatedly resetting this planet to continue its "realization" and "evolution." It is assumed that this planet has reached an extreme point after repeated resets. It is estimated that a large amount of mana particles have been consumed, leading to a temporary shortage of mana on the planet.

However, the investigation revealed that these mana particles are regenerating due to certain factors. It is calculated that in about 100 years, the concentration will reach a level where all current humans will be indiscriminately affected, leading to a future where the sky is candy, darkness is endless, and monsters appear. At the end, the planet will be distorted and transformed to the extreme, resulting in a mutual destruction. If the intelligent beings' belief that "if it exists, it is real" is infinitely hidden, humanity will have no resistance.

Alice has proposed a method to resist the mana particles, and a vaccine is being developed. If mana can be absorbed and executed by the human body, then a device that absorbs and consumes the approaching mana particles to buy time is being considered. The design and theory are attached in a separate file, and an overview of the aforementioned "magic" device is provided.

The device accumulates mana particles absorbed by the human body within the machine and, when programmed with specific actions, can trigger phenomena. It is a tool that, like a virus infection mask, absorbs and accumulates the particles, performing what can be called a miracle or magic.

The thirteenth research laboratory has completed a prototype of the device, concluding that it can remove mana particles and is operational.

From the characteristics and conversion properties of mana, the device is considered the optimal primitive weapon shape for controlling specific "actions" and understanding visual and sensory pathways. The eleventh research laboratory concluded that the weaponization of the device, while ethically vulnerable, is necessary, and the prototype will be developed into the second prototype.

"The battle is over, everything is over, and we lost, but we won. We were in the same place, but we were looking at different places, but I believe everyone achieved their goals."

"I will sleep here for my dream. If anyone hears this message, please leave me alone."

"My dream is not over, my adventure is not over."

"We connected the future, we created the future."

"But that is our goal. I want to see the present in the future."

I am a person who loves analyzing and regularly needs to write down settings to prevent new settings from accumulating and polluting my thoughts with Getter lines. This is a break for me (while thinking of new settings).
