My Beloved Dog is the Strongest in Another World

I learned about magic

“…Like this, you can light it easily.”

“I see…”

“Phillip, you always use stronger magic. Was that really necessary?”

“It’s best to do it quickly. Well, perhaps I did get a little carried away. As I was doing it as a demonstration.”

“Mr. Takumi. I do not think you should copy him. After all, you might end up burning something else.”

“Oh… Well, I don’t think I could do it even if I wanted to…”

Sebastian and Claire had only taught me the basics, and that was it.

“I’m sure you know that magic is defined with the chant and then the conversion of energy.”

And so Nicholas started to talk to me about magic while unpacking our things and preparing for dinner.

Of course, I helped them as well. We would have some of the leftover pasta bread and hot soup.

The soup ingredients had been prepared by Ms. Helena in advance, and so we only had to add water and heat it up in a pot.

“First, you decide the attribute to convert the energy into… Fire, water, etcetera.”

I listened to him and thought about how Sebastian would have looked more happy and excited as he explained.

As for Phillip, he had no interest in this, and so he adjusted the fire so that it did not disappear.

“After the conversion comes the gesture. But once you know how to move the energy, the gesture can be changed freely. Well, there are limitations. And if you say ‘strong’ at the end, the fire’s power will increase.”

While there were rules, you had some freedom with combining words… Regardless, that was why more powerful spells tended to be quite long.

But in battle, one moment of hesitation could be fatal. That was why it was not very effective to use magic like that.

“But there are times where merely combining words will not activate it. For instance, if the words happen to contradict each other. So if you want altar magic after it was unleashed, then you must add different words.”

“So you have to think about the meaning of the words so that they do not cancel each other out.”

When changing the gesture from one to another as well, it was necessary to add different words…

And the more complicated it was, the more words you would need, and it would also require more power. And raising the power would also mean using more words…

Furthermore, it also depended on the amount of magic energy that was needed while activating.

And there was some magic that humans could not even handle.

Magic was a lot more complex and difficult than I had realized…
