- Ars: The first test will be very easy. All you’ll have to do is to tell Ars the name of the spell which he’ll cast. Will you be ready?
- Lilith: Yes.
- Lilith: Catherine’s Dancing Lights, version four.
- Ars: Correct. But the second spell won’t be that easy!
- Lilith: Ragnald’s variant of Isaac’s Lesser Time Dilatation.
- Ars: What? … How?! Ars won’t even start….
- Lilith: I could already feel the disruption of the Bluestream by your spell.
- Ars: Next, you’ll have to remove a couple of protection spells. Please follow me.

Wow. Lilith is awesome.
I call hacks
Considering that Ryn and Ilias are mostly combat types, particularly Ilias, 6 (out of a presumed 10) ain’t bad.
Poor Alissa. She’s the “second wheel” for magic tests when you’re paired with a prodigy…
i don’t see a way not to have a crush on lilith
@ pikadusk: Indeed. Course even when hacking you probably still arent that good.
Damn. Could feel the ‘disruption’ of magic itself? That must be a gift to be aware of stuff like that.
Also, any reason we have so many different wizard names named after spells?
@ Kishou:
Because magic comes from within.
Impressive !! ^u^
@ Kishou:
“There is no shortage of well-known spells such as “Llyra’s Universal Protection” and “Fireball”, but it’s much easier for wizards to create a completely original spell…”
Lifted from the setting tab above this very comic. Presumably, spells are custom made by each caster to suit their needs and comforts, and so variations are rather common. Following this, a popular variation of a popular spell would likely list both the one responsible for the variation, and the one who created the original spell from which they drew inspiration.
“Next, you will have to remove a couple of protection spells…”
“DONE!”
“…Ars is getting upset!”
@ Kishou:
if the spell is time dialiation why shouldn’t you be able to feel the effects before its cast?
Time dilation! Amusing.

She´s like Twilight Sparkle on Speed. XD

*Backhand!* “Feel that?!”
@ DHJones:
Heck, I’m a presumably asexual girl, and I have a crush on her!
I am loving Ars more then I already do. His (0.0) face is priceless!
And here I though Isaac only created Isaac’s Greater Missile Storm (and Isaac’s Lesser Missile Storm).
Wow. Ars’ face. that is PRICELESS. thank you for that
Sounds more like wizards get a bit of ego creating something unique and named it after themselves. For all we know, Lilith might make FOUR spells/wands after her because she’s apparently very studious and adapt at understanding the surroundings and effects of magic.
Also, Ars isn’t as third person as we thought. He said at the last panel “follow me”, not “follow Ars”.
Now I expect her to feel a little Queezy as she’s feeling the effects of a spell that hasn’t been cast, (Like inside a boat when you can see the walls arent moving but can feel the horizon bobbing up and down). It must cause a certain amount of Temporal Discombobulation in the Magic Sensing Noggin.
@ Hineko:
0_0……. go on

Thanks for the notice. I fixed it.
Hey, I just started reading, this webcomic…..
Where’s my free glass of rainbow juice?
@ Michael:
what for awhile you’ll get it in time -w-
Breaking reality.
Like a boss.
Somebody should warn Lilith, nobody likes a showoff.
Also… Dat Ars!
Ok, so it’s a time dialation spell so she could feel it before it happened because it interferred with the current time stream.
yah that works except:
since he didn’t cast the spell because she identified it, than she never could have identified it because he never cast it, but if she didn’t identify it than he would have cast it, but if he started to cast it and she identified it before he did than he wouldn’t, but he could have so she could have felt the probability of him casting it, but she cancelled that by identifiing it, but, but, but, …. ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh
sound of feet running towards a cliff…silence…crunching sound…silence.
Perhaps each spell has a different feel of dilation? Like how each piece of food has a different taste?
I’m guessing that the boys are stronger at combat and weaker at magic; while the girls are stronger at magic and weaker at combat. Put all four together and you’ll have a virtually unstoppable team…
10 points for Gryffindor! XD

I like the magic system in this world. It looks like spells are a bit like computer programs, or scientific theories. It is easier to use an existing spell than create your own. And most spell makers like to name them after themselves. ‘Version four’ was a nice touch.
