"I really don't want to have to go through this again..." Beryl is one of the most accomplished archmages in the history of magekind. But due to the aftermath of her latest magic duel, her mana has been rendered unusable and the amount of mana in the atmosphere plummeted, thus making her go-to super powerful spells completely unusable. She spent her entire life building up her skillset around her incredible mana pool, so she's gonna have to relearn the basics if she wants to survive in her new situation!
