In truth, Angel did not care all that much whether the boy in the pot was a Star Attendant. What he cared about more was Mystical Manifestations.
He was not referring specifically to this Wishbook, but to the system of Mystical Manifestations he glimpsed behind the Wishbook.
Previously, when Angel had heard of Mystical Manifestations, he had not felt much. He had never seen one before, and merely hearing about them gave him no sense of their beauty, ugliness, quality, or worth.
But when he truly laid eyes on a Mystical Manifestation, he was struck by an inexpressible amazement.
The abilities recorded within the Wishbook were indeed not especially powerful, but there were simply too many varieties! There were direct attacks, indirect attacks, control, support, and even the ability to produce potions!
And all of those abilities were integrated through the Wishbook.
As a Mystical Manifestation, the Wishbook had arisen from nothing; it had been manifested. Psionic power might be considered its basis, but at most, psionic power served as an energy source. Setting psionic power aside, this was practically... Imaginary Alchemy!
Yes, it was precisely the Imaginary Alchemy Angel had muttered about when applying Mystical Manifestations before!
Angel had not been very interested in Mystical Manifestations before, but now reality had slapped him in the face.
When applying Mystical Manifestations, he could only produce effects through structural combinations. He had no way to make effects arise from nothing. Calling it "Imaginary Alchemy" had, in truth, merely been an uncertain vision of the road ahead.
Yet the emergence of Mystical Manifestations made Angel feel as though he had glimpsed the future of Imaginary Alchemy!
If Mystical Manifestations could also be integrated through manifestation-type abilities—perhaps even creating Mystical Manifestations in the form of Mystical Manifestations—could they make certain special effects arise
