"Natural laws, though difficult to influence, are inherently ownerless; their protection is not as thorough as the ego of another Magus. Having this stepping stone, a Magus can become familiar with how to influence the magic of others."
"And this can also be considered the power stratification within the high-class Magus rank. The first layer consists of those high-class Magus who have just broken through and found a way to bend natural laws, but have not yet converted that into bending others' magic. The second layer consists of Magus who have completely transformed their perception and know how to bend others' magic. When first-layer and second-layer high-class Magus fight, the disparity is immediately apparent, as the second-layer high-class Magus can simultaneously bend the opponent's magic and protect their own, while the first-layer high-class Magus can only passively defend; their attacks are just like throwing stones, exactly as they were as mid-class Magus."
