The results of the magic power test surprised Ang somewhat. His magic capacity had nearly reached half a gallon, far surpassing many students in his class. Most beginner magic apprentices only had a capacity of one-third of a gallon, while Ang was clearly already ahead. Although he was older than the other students and had studied magic for a relatively shorter time, Ang knew that his progress was mainly due to his hard work and intense desire for magic over this period.

Mages needed to use their own magic power and mental strength to resonate and interact with the elements in the outside world, then use specific incantations and Spellcasting Techniques to recombine and release those elements, ultimately achieving magical effects. The theoretical assessment would test the students' understanding of this foundational knowledge and was also an important step in determining whether they could advance smoothly to the intermediate class.

This was an extremely advanced Spellcasting Technique, usually mastered only by
