Whether they existed at all, their quantity, or their quality, none of it could be increased through external factors.

Because they were exceedingly rare to begin with.

Thus, in order to pass down their family magecraft and let later generations inherit their research, hoping that one day they might reach the Root, magi usually accumulated their bloodlines over several generations so their descendants would be born with bodies more suited to magecraft.

If people who were already magi joined together, their descendants would have a high chance of possessing Magic Circuits. Some particularly outstanding children could even possess excellent Magic Circuits, laying a tremendous foundation for becoming exceptional magi.
