How did they bootstrap this thing? If the easiest spell is "Explode The Sun", then becoming a Great Mage able to cast "Prevent Sun From Exploding" is very unlikely!

    In a time before modern mages, before pre-written incantations, before even Auto-Incantated Vibration Casting (A-I VibeCast), there was a... different time.

    It was the Sages of the ancient Fortran civilization, followed by the Assembly of Oracles, who truly understood the old magics.

    The old tongues are understood so little these contemporary times.
