Sword God in a World of Magic

"Why not?" Shang asked.

"You see, we fill a huge hall with a lot of Mana and insert several Concepts. The Mana in the hall moves around in rapid waves, and the movement of the waves makes it easier to look at the primal forces. It's not that easy to explain to a non-Mage."

"Fact is, what you want to achieve is not the standard form of Void Casting. The most effective form of Void Casting is using a unique Mixed Concept comprised of Space, Time, and Gravity Concepts to achieve a compressive effect on the Mana around you."

"But that is only something that the Empires know. The Void Casting that people outside use is more primitive, where people just force Mana into a small space with their minds. What you are trying to do is more similar to this form of Void Casting, but we only teach the better version, which is the one exclusive to Empires."

"That's why our method wouldn't work for you. The core principles are completely different," Fleros explained.

Shang frowned. "But there should be some other way to help me achieve what I want, right?"

"Of course," Fleros said with a smirk, "and even if there isn't, with enough money, we will simply make one for you."

"Right now, I'm still not entirely sure how you plan on comprehending your unique form of Void Casting. I would need more information to find a suitable training method. Could you tell me what you have already done and how it has affected your comprehension of Void Casting?"

Shang nodded and told Fleros about the training he had done in the last 20 years.

When Fleros heard about the Isolation Chamber, he asked for confirmation several times.

It was very difficult for him to come to terms with what Shang had done to himself.

Eventually, he could only accept it, and he continued to listen to Shang.
