"Just as I suspected, Gauss, your magic really is quite unusual!"
"According to the books, this phenomenon is extremely rare. It has only been observed in people with uniquely powerful magic."
"Put simply, your magic is more active than that of other Spellcasters."
"You've probably practiced Mage Armor to a fairly high level of proficiency. Under its influence, the vitality of the magic within you has increased further, resulting in a magical resonance."
"Your magic is beginning to resonate unconsciously with the spell structure on a deeper level. In other words, your magic is reshaping the spell structure."
"What does that mean for me?" Gauss blinked.
"It's a good thing."
"This resonance itself isn't particularly harmful. You just need to understand and master the phenomenon, and you'll advance to a profession faster than other apprentices."
After hearing Andeni's explanation, Gauss felt relieved.
He'd thought there was something wrong with his body, causing his progress with Mage Armor to stall.
He hadn't expected it to be because his magic was so active. Of course, it might also have been due to his Talent: Magic Resistance.
"By the way, Gauss, there's something I need to remind you of," Andeni added. "You're already proficient enough with Mage Armor. From now on, your focus shouldn't be on how many times you cast it. Instead, you need to concentrate as much as possible while casting and carefully feel the source and nature of that 'warm current' resonance. Try to guide how it changes."
"You'll need to think it through and gather plenty of feedback from being struck in different ways. Feel the magical resonance through those different responses."
"But I can't help you with that. My magic is too powerful; I'd only have the opposite effect."
Andeni blinked and spread her hands, looking helpless.
