Editing Rinkan no Madoushi:Volume1 Prelude

<!-- PG 10 -->
Now ––

Here is a piece of parchment. 

The small characters written here have caught the blessing of time and are blurry, and there are more than a few distinctive difficult characters. 

A picture resembling childlike scribbles was in the middle of it.  

A ring was drawn in crooked brushwork ––

Since ancient times, it was easy for the power to dwell in the shape of a ring. 

The bracelet is the symbol of power, the ring is the proof of the contract, the necklace is the sign of loyalty and the diadem forms the proof of authority.

However, a “ring” was drawn here; there wasn’t anything like it.

Since the drawing was rough, you couldn’t be certain about the properties of the material and since you couldn’t compare it to anything the size wasn’t clear, also since a person’s shape was omitted, it was uncertain whether or not it was an accessory.
In the first place––that ring was something that didn’t even exist at the time it was drawn. 

It was the blueprint of a special Magic Tool that was left behind by a mage. 

<!-- PG 11 -->
In those days, many mages considered the materialisation of that thing to be impossible. In fact, even the mage that designed it eventually passed away without making it.

If somebody could decipher the completely moth-eaten description, it’s possible that they would be able to understand the power that dwells in the ring.

But, it was filled with contradictions in its various meanings. 
The name of the ring was “Solid Torus”. 

Since it wasn’t materialised, there were only a few people who knew the name.  Even if it was someone who had a deep knowledge about the history of Magic Tools, their response wouldn’t differ; they would tilt their head to one side or give a wry smile. 
However.

If the plan was realised––

All the mages would be frightened and shocked. That is the kind of thing it is.  

The Ring of Reflux.

For the makers of Magic Tools it was a pipe dream and at the same time, one of the unsolved challenges.
