Power Progression
Lin Yu’s documented Magic Aperture development:
| Stage / Realm / Level | Chapter | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Existing aperture discovered | 23 | During his first meditation, Lin Yu found an aperture already open in his Mental Sea. Its mana bore his spiritual imprint. |
| Initial strengthening | 24 | He refined mana to strengthen the aperture; his unusually large Mental Sea allowed the refined mana to go almost entirely toward its growth. |
| 1,592 maximum mana | 26 | Another meditation session increased his maximum mana by 665. |
| 5,380 maximum mana | 29 | The aperture reached its limit at his current spirit attribute and was strong enough for an ordinary Innate Spell formula. |
| 5,732 maximum mana | 30 | Overnight meditation strengthened both his soul and aperture; his spirit rose to 176. |
| Apprentice limit | 31 32 | After an initial attempt to construct Omnipotent Magic nearly damaged the aperture, Lin Yu meditated until his spirit surpassed 200 and his soul reached the Apprentice limit. His strengthened aperture then supported the completed formula. |
Opening and Cultivation
Opening an aperture
- A practitioner directs Mental Power outward to gather surrounding elements, infuses them with Mental Power to refine mana, and uses that mana to construct an aperture in the Mental Sea 23 24.
- Lin Yu found that his aperture was already open. Because its mana carried his own spiritual imprint, he concluded that the game system had manipulated his Mental Power to create it 23.
- After logging out, Lin Yu could still sense his Mental Sea and control a weaker amount of Mental Power. He could not open an aperture in reality because he sensed no surrounding elements to refine into mana 24.
Strengthening and limits
- Refined mana strengthens the aperture, increasing how much mana it can hold. Meditation can also temper the soul and enlarge the Mental Sea 24.
- An aperture cannot grow beyond the limit imposed by its owner’s Mental Sea. At that limit, refined mana goes toward training the soul; when the Mental Sea is larger than the aperture, it goes primarily toward expanding the aperture 24.
- A Magic Formula exerts continuous pressure on the aperture. More complex circles with more runes exert greater pressure and can cause permanent damage if the aperture cannot withstand them 31.
Role in Advancement
Caster System
For independent advancement from Apprentice to Formal mage, a caster must 27:
- Strengthen the Magic Aperture enough to support a personal Magic Formula.
- Construct the formula inside the aperture.
- Prepare and activate an external Advancement Ritual with the required materials, transforming the aperture.
Lin Yu estimated that the first step required more than 1,000 mana. A formula may become an Innate Spell after advancement: it can be activated directly with mana, has power close to a fully supported Ritual Magic casting, and evolves as its user grows stronger 27.
After Lin Yu completed the Omnipotent Magic formula in his aperture, the system displayed the following chances of receiving the Innate Spell All-Purpose 32:
| Advancement method | Chance |
|---|---|
| Simple | 0% |
| Normal | 10% |
| Advanced | 50% |
| Perfect | 100% |
Qi System
Qi Refiners open both Magic Apertures and Qi Acupoints during the Apprentice stage. At the Official breakthrough, their strengths must be close enough to merge into a dantian; an excessive gap causes the breakthrough to fail 43.
