"Okay, this is... way more suspicious than I expected. Is that because of [Analysis]? Well, guess I'll start with [Mana Ink Creation]. Just gotta picture a bottle of ink in my hand──'Mana Ink Creation!'"
Cain cupped his hands like he was scooping up water, picturing a bottle of ink sitting neatly on his palm.
He could feel mana swirling into his hands. A heartbeat later, a small glass bottle, glowing with sapphire-blue ink, materialized in her palms.
"Whoa, it even made the bottle! This is unreal... I can literally feel the 'Mana' packed into this 'Mana Ink.'"
He turned the bottle over in his hands, studying every angle, then spoke quietly: "[Analysis.]".
A window slid open. Details about the [Mana Ink] unfurled in front of him.
〜〜〜〜
"Mana Ink"──A blue ink charged with mana, created via [Mana Ink Creation] from [Magic Circle Magic]. Primarily used to inscribe or transfer magic circles onto objects.
For the [Magic Circle Transcription] magic, open the bottle before use.

"This 'magic' is such a hassle. Next up is [magic circle creation], but I've gotta [analyze] the [magic] first. Maybe it's better outside? Oh right, I'm pretty sure it has to be a Level -1 Lv [magic], or it won't work..."
Remembering the shocking truth, Cain dropped his head into his hands and slumped over.
"For now, I guess I'll just have to wait and use [Mana ink production] to raise my skill level..."
Suddenly, he noticed a magical lamp lit up right there.
"Can't [analyze] the 'magic' of the magical lamp, can I?' [Analyze]'"
A window opened, and at an incredible speed, an unreadable mass of symbols, like something out of a newspaper, filled the screen.
It was written in a size that would cover a spread in a newspaper, crammed into the window.
"So, I use [analyze] to get it into this state, and then apply [Magic Circle Creation], huh? Should I try to chanting it? [Magic Circle Creation]!'"
This time, the text displayed from the [analyze] vanished or transformed into different characters on the window, and after that, a circle about 15 cm in diameter was drawn in the center, with concentric circles inside, stopping in a pattern like hieroglyphics.
Cain felt a slight headache coming on.
"Is this the magic circle of the magical lamp? Maybe? Hm, let's see...'[Analyze]'"
Another window opened, displaying an explanation of the magic circle.
"This magic circle is for the [life magic] of [light]."
"Guess I managed to create a magic circle? But why? What even is [life magic]?"
Cain found himself buried under a mountain of questions.
