Chapter 221 - Chapter 221

Magic is the act of imprinting will onto reality. In the same way an artist draws a painting, a mage will draw the elements. The theory of elemental mages is fundamentally flawed, there is no innate imprint on a soul that will predict what, if any, element, a person will be capable of. The existence of the great aristocrat families does not counteract my thinking. If anything, it proves it. Does the children of musicians not become talented in music themselves? The descendants of blacksmiths become smiths themselves. To pretend that a learned art is in the blood is as farcical as saying that farmers are naturally attuned to ploughing the land.
