"The higher the reality level of an 'Item Card' or 'Spirit Card,' the greater its integrity."
"A 'golden Spirit Card' with four Ultimate Moves has a reality level of at least 50."
"That means they are already quite close to being genuine lifeforms!"
The concept of "reality level" was clearly knowledge that could only be encountered in higher grades.
It was extremely important for the targeted transmutation of Magitech Cards.
If a mage wanted to grow stronger steadily, they could not always rely on the Ba(sui)sic(ji) Transmutation Method.
Under normal circumstances, being able to use the Random Transmutation Method or Basic Transmutation Method to produce one or two Gold Cards in an entire lifetime already counted as quite fortunate for a mage.
If someone like Dark wanted to build a Blue-Eyes White Dragon-themed deck, he would also have to use the Primordial Dragon Egg to conduct in-depth research into the Blue-Eyes White Dragon species, find a way to develop a Blue-Eyes White Dragon transmutation equation, and then perform targeted transmutation.
Saint Marian Academy usually only began letting students gradually come into contact with "targeted transmutation" in their second year.
Then, in their third year, students would begin receiving guidance on how to develop specialized transmutation equations through their own research.
Thus, the period from third year to fourth year was one of gradual accumulation before a breakthrough.
Most students would undergo a transformation between their third and fourth years. Not only could they greatly improve the strength of their decks in one go, but they would also most likely be able to build a complete system.
That was the main reason there was such a clear dividing line between third-year and fourth-year students.
After listening to Professor Lily's explanation, Dark gained some insight.
"From the looks of it,
