"So, in conclusion," Professor Max stated, streaking his chalk across the blackboard with emphasis, "different tiers of mana have a direct impact on the spells we cast, due to their varying levels of density and a mages control over it."
"This is why, technically, a mage's combat ability is at its weakest right after ascending. Until one adjusts to their new tier of mana, they will struggle to cast their spells as intended," he continued, his gaze sweeping over the class.
His eyes lingered on Michael and Melody for a moment before the sound of a low dong echoed throughout the academy, signaling the end of the class.
"It seems that's all we have time for today," the professor remarked, a hint of disappointment in his voice. With a slight wave of his hand, he cleared the blackboard, which was filled to the brim with text.
"I hope I've been able to ignite a few curious minds about the wonders of mana," he added with a smile.
