"How were these shells... the same as Mana Bombs?" Betty was certain of what she had seen and could not help turning to Roger.
"The situations a Mana Railgun needs to deal with are, in my understanding, basically similar to a Mana Bomb plus a catapult. It just needs to be more accurate. A longer range and greater power would be even better, but the core application remains unchanged."
Roger smiled. "Don't you think this approach is more suitable than directly casting magic?"
The Mana Railgun itself was an upgraded catapult. It could accurately hurl immensely powerful Mana Bombs, allowing them to explode precisely. It was practically perfect.
If they wanted to increase its range, they could give the Mana Railgun stronger propulsion, add some runes to the shells to make them lighter, or let them pierce the air ahead more easily. There were plenty of options.
"That truly is an excellent idea." The Magic Goddess smiled from the side. "Separating the launching mechanism from the attack mechanism and combining them independently also suits the style of Magitech Devices."
Betty, who had been agonizing over the matter, trembled slightly at the goddess's words. It seemed she had been getting hung up on some rather strange details.
Even with such changes, wasn't it still a Magitech Device?
Magic power, machinery, usability by anyone... there was nothing wrong with any of it.
"I was overthinking it." Betty lowered her head. "This design really is more suitable than a Mana Cannon."
"I told you, their applications are merely a little different." Roger shook his head slightly. "Using both types of Mana Cannon together is the correct path. All right, let's test and improve it some more. I think the shells can still be enhanced. Once they're good enough, I'll equip myself with a
