More then fair to not make Magic omnipotent, either it be knowledge, practice, or raw mana supply requirements, there plenty of reasonable ways to limit it, let alone something life feedback or casting something wrong or by accident. Just cause it isn’t OP (or god level OP), doesn’t mean it can’t do a lot, or that stuff can’t be experimented/tried.
And thats exactly what I mean, she will forgive a lot, but if people squander it, the consequences are probably going to be so much worse for them then it was before. Katie will probably take a lot of pleasure out of that when it happens. Plus the compel spells can stay single target (without more mana or som other changes), cause its to find out the about his conspiracy and ensure no one with bad intentions like Kaya get any power or close to Katie and her eventual friends.
Can’t wait for the next chapter!👍

Good potential, nice take on the isekai setup compared to the usual "got hit by a truck and woke up in another world" style. I actually appreciate the lore dumping and magical info as world-building not just for us, but for Katie, since this gives her an idea of what she's truly capable of when not restricted by story railroading.
Oddly, it actually makes me want to create a setup like this using Fabula Ultima to create a game setting... Hmm...

Thank you!
Making something like this after reading (honestly too much) isekai stuff is fun. And to me, establishing a world is very important. Setting rules and limitations prevents BS down the line.
And I've never heard of Fabula Ultima before, but it definitely looks cool! Though every dnd type sizey game I've tried to participate in or host ends pretty quickly T-T

Thanks for the chapter!
Well, good intro and confirmation on magic, the durability will help but might temporally backfire with what seems plans. Probably see just how metaphysical it can get, about intentions, attention, perception, or other things that are more ideas then physical effects. And conjuring matter, theres going as deep as the Quarks and Gluons. Maybe see if there any memory enhancement spells so ensure she gets absolute everything from the before. Bet the reason she can multicast is cause she isn’t limited by what everyone there believed, which was that could can only cast one spell at a time. Sounds like an interesting upbringing limitation.
And shrinking tests obviously, maybe see is non euclidian geometry/portals with in end thats larger/smaller then the other to shrink/grow things that go through them, sounds like a good construct, or trap when combined with some illusions. Other fun stuff too obviously.
Kaya obviously needs a far more serious reaction. Even just telekinesis to force choke and otherwise restrain. And any attempt at being used can be turned around, for fun on our and Katie’s side. Probably should have Compel Truth, Prevent/remove Lies, Command, and Prevent/Remove Resistance (or all the other synonyms for it(or mind reading) to get all the info she can out of Kaya. The new Primavella is much worse then a spoiled arrogant brat, cause she isn’t held back by either of those.
And the good old Otom staple of being hit on the head.
Author's Response:
Yeah, there's lots of possibilities when it comes to magic. Though I don't really intend for it to be an omnipotent force in the world. Honestly, it's no fun if there isn't any chance of failure after all XD
Katie herself isn't the type to get angry easily. She's quick to forgive and forget if it isn't anything too major. Everybody gets a chance. Revenge comes after they throw that chance away.
Regarding Kaya, there is a reason she didn't do anything drastic at that moment. I gave a subtle hint towards it, but it'll be more revealed in the future.
And yeah, getting hit in the head is a very convenient plot device to use. But the thought of a bread roll the size of a boulder doing it made me chuckle.
