The Magic Goddess studied the half-finished "Magitech Device" before her with great interest. Since Roger had proposed the Mana Bomb, she had seen many Magitech Devices, but the others were still essentially magic items. They merely reorganized runes, took a different approach, and created mana items from an unprecedented school. None of that had exceeded her understanding. This time, however, was truly different.
This unfinished product could actually convert mana into the force that pulled and propelled everything. At its core, it was already different from a magic item. Before this machine, mana was more like... firewood in a fireplace.
Interesting!
Truly interesting!
Mana could actually be used this way!
She had been the first to create magic and the god who ruled over mana. She had always considered herself the lifeform that understood mana and magic best. Yet this time, she suddenly realized that perhaps she still did not understand enough.
"The biggest problem now is how to make the Mana Engine run more steadily. Even when those of us other than the Goddess feed it mana, we can't keep it stable, let alone ordinary mortals. The Self-Charging Magic Array can't ensure a steady output of mana at all times. Besides that, its mana consumption during operation still seems rather high. We need to try optimizing it." Betty looked at the roaring cube, her face full of worry.
The Magic Goddess had actually proposed several arrays that could stabilize its operation, but those arrays were extraordinarily expensive. If they were truly used, the only result would be for the Mana Engine to become a toy for a handful of Archmages and high-ranking nobles. That did not fit the fundamental logic behind the development of Magitech Devices.
"No matter how we optimize it, won't the cost still be difficult to
