"[Arcane Enlightenment]..."
Roland softly recited the unfamiliar term, trying to understand its meaning literally.
'Naturally, "Arcane" refers to that vast and mysterious system of Magic knowledge. "Enlightenment"... it sounds more like a systematic, preliminary guidance and study of related knowledge, like lighting a lamp to illuminate the path ahead.'
This seemed reasonable. Every school of Casters should have such a foundational stage when one is initiated.
But...
His gaze fell back on the small line of faintly glowing, gold text.
'Ritual... Resonance... Influence direction...'
Roland repeated these keywords in a low voice, his brow furrowing ever tighter.
This deviated greatly from his "systematic study" hypothesis.
'Does a simple impartation of knowledge need to be emphasized with the word "ritual"?'
'Would it involve "resonance" with some kind of existence?'
'More importantly, how could it directly influence the future development path of a Profession?'
