The Experimental Procedures Written by Veteran Scholars Are Best Followed

The power of time was far too unstable, to the point that Manus had never dared meddle with it much in the past. Even his research with his teacher had only scratched the surface.

Yet this world's bonuses truly defied reason. Concepts, emotions, and will were likewise things that could not be clearly quantified. The latter two in particular, like time, existed because of perception.

Using such bonuses to study the power of time could be considered right within his field... Thinking about it carefully, aside from Astronomy, most of the other research projects in the Department of Mysteries seemed to concern similar powers.

"In that case, the direction and approach of magical research in this world... can also be adjusted accordingly."

Manus made a mental note of it.

The essence of magic would not change from one world to another. Just as there were countless magical systems, the core and ultimate goal Manus pursued was naturally what all those countless systems pointed toward.

However, the differences between this world and the world before his transmigration were an objective fact. If he ignored that fact while researching magic, then even if he did not stray onto an erroneous path, he would still end up taking a long and winding detour.

After a brief moment of thought, Manus quickly sorted out his thoughts and continued reading the provisions in his hand, slowly and carefully.

After all, he truly was not as professional as the Department of Mysteries in this regard. As everyone knew, when veteran scholars wrote experimental procedures, it was best to remember every word and follow them exactly. Never mind whether they seemed reasonable or not; just do as they said first.

When one's abilities were insufficient, so-called unreasonable things were merely narrow-minded assumptions. They might be right or
