The books on sorcery, wizardy, and magecraft has something very mystifying about them. Their books live, any books on the matter perhaps, but these books are specially infused with magic.
The "Magic Book of Form and Foundation", teaches about magic in a very sensible manner. It says that the foundations of magic lies in techniques, and its forms lies with apparitions. Spirits that manifests in form to aid the caster, the benevolent caster, the opportunity to perform the elementals.
Upon reading the book, Reagel notice something very odd about the book. Inside of it was someone tickled every inch the page is turned. Suggesting that the book was alive. From it, out of the book, a spirit of Sasha Greyfounder release herself from the book. Which begone training of Reagel in the form of magic from one of the greatest mages alive of their time - Sasha Greyfounder, the Nordus Casum.
Magic books are different from any other book in that the magic infused allows you to do things that no ordinary book can. Such as reading the book's energies and in turn read the book as a whole. This one has a tutor attached to it, that possesses one that wields it and from there learn from her. Through possession and tutoring guidance, Sasha Greyfounder thought to Reagel the basic forms of magic.
Sasha Greyfounder says that there is a secret to magic that people don't understand. Its in her power that it begun to be so. In Chapter 13th lies the concept, in chapter 9th lies its observation. The secret is very simple, magic is made from primordial spirits, magic from there manifests as a form to change reality by the means of believing one can change reality - creativity and creationist magic.
From technique, the more you can create, the more power you have. Not the power of your magic, but what you can create as magic.
The next important thing is manifesting that creative force. If you can manifest it to reality, your magic is real and will have an effective result. "Why don't the author of this book show you real magic application?" -Sasha Greyfounder.
"Magic Spirit Charge!" - Sasha Greyfounder
"Magic Circuit Activation!" - Sasha Greyfounder
From then on, Nobe Mendelle can manifest form in his magic. With knowledge, he can apply new techniques. He is a creation magician by this point, he can create through his imagination the magic he proposes.
The next step is to categorize which class he is as a magic user; a wizard, a mage, or an application of both much like a magician. Sasha's book is for a mage, so he learnt magic from a mage, but knowing creation magic techniques and knowledge of those techniques, Sasha Greyfounder applies him for wizardy. A form of magic good for analysis spells, and synthesizing new forms of magic with their creativity. The one lacking now is a wand, for which, Reagel started using a stick, a small stick with a length, able to at least manifest dowsing abilities or sensing abilities. Good for a Wizard.
With the teaching of Sasha Greyfounder, they now know magic, with her guidance, they now know the secret of creation. In that book lies the start of Reagel's journey through his adventure of magic.
