As long as the Crest is completely integrated with the magus' body, he will be able to cast any spell recorded in the crest, even if he himself never had the chance to learn it properly. It is the duty of any heir of a family of magi to successfully expand and pass down the Crest to the next generation.Īs the complexity of the Crest increases with each new generation, the spells stored inside them become more stable and easier to activate. As the process repeats itself with each new generation, the older a lineage is, the greater the number of Circuits forming the Crest, and the greater the amount of knowledge stored inside it. At some point of the magus’ life, he will forge some of his own Magic Circuits into the Crest, store many, if not all, spells that he learned in life and then pass it down to his successor.
