This is the story of a mass-produced magical war tool who learned the ultimate nature of Magic. But what of it? Just as birds can fly without understanding aerodynamics, magicians can use Magic without grasping its ultimate nature.

Here, firearms are on the rise; armor remains the main character; military theory is changing rapidly, with endless innovations in systems and techniques.

I want this novel to be something good, so for now I will be learning from other works by authors more skilled than I and trying to improve my skills. I will update the synopsis when I feel I can continue with this novel.)
