On Alterna, it seems that those particles are also present, but with the addition of mana also being in the air.
There was no evidence supporting whether mana is actually a particle or element that could actually be found in the air, but this is only because of the limited technology present in this world.
If Alterna had a tool that could sense and prove the existence of mana in the air, maybe then, they could find evidence whether or not this was true.
Of course, the people of this world didn't have this theory in place. This was only something that Cecil spouted out involuntarily when he was listening to Mrs. Anna's lecture.
After listening to what Cecil said, Mrs. Anna made him explain what these particles and elements were. After listening to the, somewhat, in depth explanation, Mrs. Anna wore a very scary expression on her face.
She then headed towards her study and hadn't come out of the room until now. So Cecil had to learn about magic alone with Lucia.
Now for the explanation of mana and magic, first off, there were 7 Elements of mana in this world, meaning that there were also at least 7 different kinds of elemental magic spells which an individual may use.
The elements were fire, water, earth, wind, lightning, dark, and light. Mana was needed in order to use magic, so it was a given that magic was cla.s.sified into different elements.
So if there was more of the type of mana elements in a location, the stronger the magic that was used with the said element would be.
For instance, near a volcano there would be an abundant amount of fire element mana, so if someone was to use magic here, the efficiency of the magic spell would be better as well as the output and power being higher.
But, if you were to use other elemental attribute magic in this environment, although there would still be mana with the other elemental attributes, they would be less abundant in a place where the fire elemental mana is dominant in, resulting in the decreased output, efficiency, and power of other attributed elements of magic spells.
Of course when considering elemental attributes there's always that circle of rock-paper-scissors between their magic.
Fire is weak to water but strong against wind, water is weak to earth but strong against fire, earth is weak to wind but strong against water, and lastly, wind is weak to fire but strong against earth.
Lightning isn't weak or effective against any other magic attribute, but it is an element that's characterized by its versatility, rarity, and uniqueness in being a neutral element type magic.
It's really effective if you want to crush an enemy without worrying about being countered by their opponent's elemental attributes or anything.
Of course, the users of lightning magic are pretty rare because it's still not part of the general modern magic system. Instead it's categorized as special, the same with the dark and light attribute.
Dark and light attribute are pretty common and not as rare as lightning and they are both weak and strong against each other.
While light attribute is mostly for healing and purifying, dark attribute is used for cursing and siphoning. What is meant by siphoning is the siphoning of mana and life force of a target.
Light isn't needed to be mentioned as most healers use this attribute, but for dark attribute. This is a little special, since it's seen as something unholy in this world and only the vilest of villains and monsters actually use this attribute.
That's all for elemental mana and magic. Next would be non-elemental magic and mana.
Non-elemental mana would be the mana that was innately found inside a human's body the moment they were born.
It was only until the person grew up and became accustomed to one of the elements of mana that the person's const.i.tution would change into a more specific mana oriented one, that's in exception to the people who were innately born with a specific mana const.i.tution like the Ice Emperor.
Non-elemental mana is also found in the air, but the amount is scarce. Non-elemental mana acts as an equilibrium that keeps the mana in the air stable so that it wouldn't cause a mana calamity because a certain amount of the same attributed mana was too abundant in a place.
The people who actually have non-elemental as their main attribute are even lower than the people who can wield lightning attribute magic, to the point where in a generation there might not even be more than 100 people on the planet that could wield it properly.
This was the condition with the other continents excluding the Non Continent. Since the people of the Non Continent grew up in an elemental-less environment, their bodies couldn't be attuned to any other mana element and they probably never had any contact with magic spells other than non-elemental ones.
Non-elemental magic spells are mostly spells that are used for body-enhancing. Of course, other elemental type spells have body strengthening spells, but only non-elemental spells take this to the extreme, enabling the user to almost become super-human.
Since non-elemental mana was extremely malleable, when using non-elemental body-enhancing spells, the casters could shoot out mana from their bodies as if firing a flame lance from the fire magic system. Fly in the sky by using their enhanced bodies as if using flight magic from the wind magic system. Destroy or change the environment with their bare feet and hands as if using magic from the earth magic system. Survive underwater or corrode objects as if using magic from the water magic system.
People who use Non-elemental mana were inherently powerful and all-encompa.s.sing in their abilities, making it a rarity in Alterna.
Non-elemental users were one in a billion, but there were people out there who could almost rival this rarity, although not as rare as non-elemental users and they were the people who could use Extra Attribute magic.
There were two types of Extra attribute users, inherent users and racial users. Racial users are those whose race gives them direct access to extra attributed magic due to their lineage.
But even then, in the extra attribute category there were also levels of rarity.
For instance, the illusion extra attribute magic that Lucia could use were not all that rare since other races such as specters, demons, fairies, sirens and others can use it too.
People who could use s.p.a.ce and time attribute magic are the rare ones. These people even throughout history could be counted on ones hands altogether. It was much rarer than the non-elemental users.
Nature attribute magic is inherent to the protectors of the world tree, meaning the elves. Some people may also have the blessing of nature and use it as well.
Abyssal and Radiant attribute magic are only usable by the people who are affiliated with a cult or church. But to Cecil, it only sounded more like an enhanced version of the dark and light system magic with the addition of being affiliated with a fanatic organization.
That was a simple run-down of the magic that could be used in Alterna.
There were many more magic like Void, Ancient, Taboo, and G.o.d's Magic, but there were no books in the Lucia family's possession that explained anything about them.
Mrs. Anna too, had only given Cecil and Lucia the names of said magic and no explanations about them since she wasn't researching any of those types of magic.
Sometime later, Lucia had finally finished reading the book, How to Use Magic. Finis.h.i.+ng his notes, Cecil started to ponder about the contents he just learned.
"Hmmm…"
"Cel?"
"Hm..."

"…"
"It seems only live practice will actually be of any help."
"Of course, books are only there to guide us. If you want to do anything, you have to actually experiment and practice, you know?"
"Okay, let's go to the back then!"
"R-right now?"
"The faster the better, I wanna try my hands on this magic thing!"
Coming to such a conclusion, Cecil enthusiastically takes Lucia's hand and drags her out of the library.
On their way to the backyard, Lucia poured cold water on Cecil's enthusiasm.
"You seem awfully hyped up. Don't get disappointed if you actually don't have any apt.i.tude for it, okay?"
"Eh? What's that?"
"Don't tell me you weren't listening at all last time?"
"But, you said that everyone could use magic right?"
"No, I said everyone can use mana, magic is different."
"Wha???"
Hearing this, Cecil waits for Lucia to explain.
"Anyone can use mana, but if you don't have the apt.i.tude, you can forget about ever casting a magic spell in your life."
"Uwaahh!!!"
Cecil immediately deflates and starts to worry about the unsettling news.
'Oh no! Wh-what would happen if I don't have any apt.i.tude for it??? c.r.a.p, I was all gung-ho about it that I didn't pay attention last time! This is bad, I hope that I have apt.i.tude for it, if I don't, that'd be a total let down. Especially since I've been so hyped up ever since I heard about it…'
It wasn't something he should be thinking about now since he has taken an apt.i.tude test yet. Thinking as such, Cecil turns optimistic.
"Well, we can't figure out anything without at least trying, right?"
"Aren't you overly optimistic?"
"I wanna use magic!!!"
Correct Lucia, optimistic to the point that he was borderline desperate.
"O, okay… Wait a bit, let me go call Mama."
"Alright."
Lucia heads towards the study that her Mom's been holed up in for the last week.
Mrs. Anna had the tools to test whether or not Cecil could use magic, but since she was holed up for a week, they couldn't proceed with the tests.
After a while, Lucia came back holding some peculiar objects in her arms.
"Cel! Come to the back, Mama and Papa's already waiting!"
"Eh? Okay!"
Cecil walks up to Lucia and takes the objects she was holding. It was only proper etiquette to help a lady.
"Fufu, you're just like Papa."
"Am I?"
"Yeah, he wouldn't let me or Mama hold anything too heavy."
"It's just proper etiquette."
"Fufu~"
When they reach the backyard of the house, they see Mrs. Anna instructing Mr. Zaki to put down various tools and objects around on the ground.
'Was the test complicated?'
"Uhm, Mrs. Anna? Where should I put this?"
"Oh, just put those down over there. We'll only be using that for the test anyway, the rest are just for testing out the theory you told me yesterday!"
Hearing what Mrs. Anna said, Cecil was confused.
"Yesterday? But, it's already been a week…."
"Rea~lly~?"
Mrs. Anna responded by tilting her head and acted all cutesy.
Cecil couldn't really complain when she looks like she's old enough to be his older sister.
'Wow, I didn't expect Mrs. Anna to be such an airhead. To think she'd even forget about time when she's doing her research. That's scary.'
Cecil started to wonder if she even had anything to eat or drink properly since then. What about bathing or stuff like that?
Although, he did see Mr. Zaki going in and out of the research room with food and a basin from time to time. He started to sympathize with Mr. Zaki a bit.
'Man, she's pretty worrying. Must be hard for Mr. Zaki sometimes, no wonder he's so good with doing the house ch.o.r.es and cooking despite looking the way he is.'
Fortunately for him the test wouldn't be too complicated, since all those various unknown tools are actually only for Mrs. Anna's experiment.
The tools that were going to be used for his test were the things that Lucia retrieved earlier.
After they finished setting up the testing tools, Cecil asks Mrs. Anna for instructions.
"Okay… here we go. So now what?"
"Well, now you just have to put your hand on top of that white sphere."
"Okay!"
Without any hesitation, Cecil puts his right hand on top of the white sphere
'Hopefully I won't be disappointed!'
On the side, Lucia and Silver cheered for him.
Not long after putting his hand on the sphere, it slowly starts to s.h.i.+ne with a resplendent bright light!
