Spatial analysis-the High Elf mages' understanding of space had already reached an accomplished level; one could even say they handled it with ease. This compilation of High Elf knowledge gave Patrick an entirely new perspective, yet it also felt like a change in form rather than substance. He kept feeling that it bore some inexplicable connection to the School of Conjuration.

As for "Blink," the name implied folding and jumping. Unlike previous concepts of teleportation, the displacement of the blinking subject itself was minimal, but the energy consumption was greatest.

For example, if an object on a plane needed to travel from point A to point B, the fastest method was to fold the plane in half, making points A and B overlap. The object would then need only a simple movement to reach its destination directly. In reality, however, the energy required to fold space at will would presumably be extremely difficult to attain, so this was difficult to apply to levitation technology.

For the levitation technology Patrick wanted, however, this was merely a simple beginning. Once the technology was applied to everyday life, he had to consider more than whether the spell would succeed. Stability, practicality, and the rate of energy consumption all had to be taken into account.

He continued reading, "Concepts of Levitation."

"No matter what an object is, even an insignificant ant, it possesses weight of its own. Whether you accept it or not, this weight is innate, accompanying it throughout its life, from birth to death."

"There are three approaches to counteracting this weight and achieving suspension: redefining the surrounding space, modifying the rules of attraction, and canceling the effects of gravity."

What was written here was much the same as Ellen's understanding: three main approaches involving spatial deconstruction and reconstruction, altering the gravitational
