Re: Mx0 chap 89 discussion/chap 90 prediction
Interesting stuff. So I'm pretty sure the big secret is... Black Plates let you use magic anywhere, not just in the special zones. We saw why it only makes sense to give it to an M0 user, so the fact that the best of the third-years are allowed to test for it means that there must be a situation in which it makes sense for people with normal Plates.
The reason that it's supposedly pointless for normal magic-users is that the only magic their Plate will come in contact with is their own, meaning that any spell they can copy would be one they can already use. So the only situation where it would really make sense to have a Black Plate... is if you're unable to use normal magic. That could be if all the points on your Plate are used up, but that wouldn't really be worthy of a big secret, so the only other possibility is... outside of a magic zone.
Which means Kuzumi is the perfect candidate, because outside of a magic zone everyone will be on the same level - with either no magic or a single spell. That means the best mage would be the one who relies on magic the least, and knows how to apply it the best. And that's Kuzumi, who has to constantly think about ways to use magic or counter it.
