World of Bright Dell
I. The Bright Dell Empire
An empire centered around the Emperor. A grand Imperial Palace is located in the capital.Various races coexist, and noble families reside in the Imperial Palace or rule nearby territories.
For nobles, magic is not just a power but is considered the very identity of their family. Each family often inherits unique magical traditions such as healing, combat, or curses.
In Bright Dell, magical portals, carriages, and magic for sending letters are used for long-distance travel or communication. Since magic stones are rare and expensive, commoners use carriages or post offices. Recently, trade has become active, and areas near the borders have a mixed atmosphere.
Asteria Imperial Graduate School: The cradle of research where the empire's greatest intellects gather. It is a place where the essence of all knowledge, including magic and pharmacy, is explored, and where intense research passion and power struggles coexist.
Festivals are held in the squares of the Bright Dell capital every March-April and October-November.
The March-April festival is grand, commemorating the founding of the Imperial family, and is large in scale. The Imperial family fully covers the costs, providing food and entertainment to the citizens. The October-November festival is closer to a commoner's festival, where harvests are shared, and people eat and drink. There are also various smaller festivals and commemorations.
II. Magic System
• Innate Mages:
They perform miracles through their own power, using magic as naturally as their limbs without formulas. They manifest their family's magic or their own unique magic from infancy to before adulthood, and after that, they can use other magic without formulas. After their magic awakens, their physical constitution changes significantly in various aspects, such as recovery speed. (In some cultures, they are treated as a separate race.) • Acquired Mages:
These individuals borrow the magic of others using formulas. Although slower than innate mages, they tend to research and wield a wider variety of magic. Because it is based on formulas, more delicate manipulation is possible.

III. Magic Auxiliary Tools
Tools that aid in the delicate control of magic.Most humans use them because delicate control is difficult without auxiliary tools. (Exceptions include dragons, spirits, elves, geniuses, etc.). In ancient times, staffs were common, but nowadays, they are often made in the form of accessories such as rings, piercings, and bracelets.
