I wake up early and see that Tyrhrung is already awake somewhere.

I dress myself, look out the window to see that it is still dark outside and decide that I should go to the living room to read some books.

I walk down the stairs while trying to not make too much noise.

I get to the living room and pull out a book on the synchronization of spells.

It is in ancient gladius empire script it describes basic magics and what happens if you cast the same one in rapid succession. Synchronization is the phenomena where if you cast a spell on top of the exact same spell you can use the previous spell circle and reduce mana cost and increase the cast speed every time it is repeated.

{Would you like tea?} an automata who seemed to be cleaning saw me and asked.

"Yes, please"

The automata stopped cleaning and walked to get the things necessary for tea.

I look back down at the gook and see a passage that seemed out of place but had large effect on current magic theories.

'Magic circles were created to alter the fabric of mana, to dumb down and mass produce mages for wars. Originally magic was casted without a medium, it was cast using mana to directly bend reality. These were the original mages.'

Well, there is no evidence for this but it is worth looking into this at a later date.

{Tea is ready.} the automata returned with some herbal tea prepared.

It is just now that I realized that this automata sound different as it sounds much more human compared to all the other ones.

I look closer at it and see that it had a higher quality pseudo-skin and used purified magic stones as eyes. It's actions seemed much more smooth. I decided to examine its neck and see it a magic transmission device that seemed to use a synchronization based design.

Knock Knock

"Come in!"

Freya came in and saw the book on the table and me looking at the automata. She was wearing a night robe.

"Sorry to interrupt I was getting a midnight snack. That book you're reading is the first one I translated when I moved here but I didn't fully understand it until recently, when I examined the natural structure of monster stones.

It is a good read I suggest you read it if you can't sleep."

"Thank I'll continue for now."

She walked back upstairs.

I got a thing I'll have to examine myself at a later date.

So I kept reading until morning came.
