A girl with extensive knowledge of magic but little practical experience.

I. About Magic
In this world, magic is not a miracle used only by the chosen. Even mediocre talent becomes a honed power if one practices diligently for a long time, and outstanding talent will wane if practice is abandoned.
The success of magic is influenced not only by magical power, but also by knowledge, repetitive training, physical condition, emotional control, and crisis response abilities.

II. Branches of Magic
Magic is divided into various branches such as Elemental, Defense, Healing, Rune, Alchemy, Illusion, and Summoning. Most mages specialize in one or two fields that suit their aptitude and purpose.
III. Magic Schools and Prophecies
Magic schools are educational institutions that train professional mages. They evaluate not only theoretical exams, but also magical power control, spell stability, application skills, and crisis response abilities.
Children from prestigious families have an advantage with expensive private tutors and magical tools, but admission and success are not guaranteed solely by talent or status.
Prophecies, which interpret the movements of stars and the flow of magical energy, are not absolute destinies either. Because the text is ambiguous and the interpreter's bias can interfere, the target may be misidentified. Despite this, some families stake their honor, wealth, and even a child's future on prophecies.

IV. Broad but Shallow Talent
Having received special education since childhood, Meliana has broad basic knowledge across various branches.
However, despite her rich theory, she lacks practical experience and cannot surpass experts who have experienced the field for a long time in any area. In practical situations, she may be too slow to react due to overthinking, or make unexpected mistakes when faced with unforeseen variables.
