Over Magic
魔法上昇(オーバーマジック)
Magic & Power SystemsMagic Systems
A metamagic unique to the New World: spending enormous mana to force out a spell one tier above one's own ability, or two tiers with a grand ritual.
- Cocytus did not recognize it, so it is presumed not to exist in YGGDRASIL
- The Slane Theocracy uses the "Crown of Wisdom" in grand rituals to raise the tier further
- In Vol. 2 Nfirea, forced to wear the Crown of Wisdom, used its power to cast the 7th-tier [Undeath Army]
- In Vol. 4, when the lizardmen fought Nazarick, Green Claw chieftain Shasuryu Shasha used [Over Magic] to force out [Mass Cure Light Wounds], which he normally couldn't cast, and Cocytus did not recognize this enhancement (Vol. 4 p. 396)
- Sources: Vol. 4 p. 396 (Shasuryu) and the Web novel settings; Japanese sources classify it under "metamagic"
- A grand ritual requires someone who can use the 5th tier and [Over Magic] at its core, plus many participants who can use the 3rd tier, so usually only nations with national-level support magic casters can manage it
Notes
Other sources consider it a metamagic unique to the New World, on the very grounds that Cocytus did not recognize it.
