Kenja no Mago - Vol. 12 Ch. 41.5

Knights use magic to augment their physical abilities, right? Then why can't they just do the energy grind that the magicians are doing to increase their magical strength?
 
@Riger Afaik such a grind increases endurance, but not necessarily strength.

There is a limit to how much magic one can use at a time; for knights this is probably much lower than for actual mages.

And if their magical endurance already exceeds their physical endurance, there is little point in aditional energy.
 
@Duke_Anax
Except that the grind DOES increase strength. They actually said that its one of the main reasons that Merlin and Shin's magic was so strong at base. The other part of Shin's strength is his 'image'.
They even gave a perfect example of how the grind increases strength by showing them the barrier. The same 'amount' of magic had incredibly dramatic differences when they used the artifact that utilized Shin's focus.
Its gas vs liquid vs solid, I think. Gas is what all the mages have pre-training. Then training makes it thicken or purify (the novel doesn't describe it well, lol). In short, the training makes 1 drop of mana do far more work. You don't get more, you just get a far more efficient fuel.

As for magic vs physical endurance, I think you're forgetting just how much of a physical boost Shin was using in a 10 year old body. They made it sound like a multiplier.
 
Magical endurance? Are you trying to say about magical resistance or mana point? There is no "magical endurance"
 
Seems like every female character is more interesting than our FMC.
 
I'm glad they did these side chapters. With a cast this large the character development that isn't directly related to the main plot gets a bit sidelined, so it was fun to read these little tidbits
 
@BanditHadron I'm a bit concerned actually. Since she's so far in the sidelines I get suspicious when an author does things to make us like them more. Like they're softening us up for a harsh hit using the character.
