Re: Mx0 chap 88 discussion/chap 89 prediction
Taiga NOT being an insanely powerful mage is exactly what makes this manga so great.
Taiga is strong because he uses his intelligence and strategy to win and outsmarting all
the mages in the school.
Try to think about it and you will see how original the concept is
Kuzumi not being able to use magic will eventually come to bite him in the rear end. I'd say right now is a good time for Kuzumi to expand upon what his plate can do. The previous training Kuzumi underwent was to simply be able to manipulate the territory the MO plate produces, and considering how Kuzumi used it during the school festival, has the basics essentially mastered. That was an overdue power-up. It makes it easier for Kuzumi to deal with beginning students while allowing him to remain stingy on how much MP he uses to neutralize magic.
The upgrade that Kuzumi will attempt to gain right now will be useful for dealing with more advanced second-year students, and maybe even third-year students. Kuzumi will still have people such as Daimon to contend with in addition to dealing with third-year students like what occured around chapter 70. Also, it will reinforce the illusion people have of Kuzumi's abilities. He'll eventually be forced into situations where he'll need magic, and the black plate eases the problem.
1. since it's an m0 plate, we can still asume that kuzumi can still cancel out magic?
Yes. The black plate is a function which is only useful for plates such as the one Kuzumi possesses.
2. can you restore the magic on the plate? I mean suppose kuzumi doesn't use the magic at all, will the plate become more powerfull each time it sucks up some magic or is there a replacement in it?
The black plate allows Kuzumi to "borrow" any magic. The spell will simply vanish though once it's used. In order to reuse a spell, Kuzumi will have to "borrow" it again. And I see no reason why this feature of the plate can't evolve just how usage of the magic-jamming zone evolved as well (Kuzumi gaining the abily to manipulate it by will). There's a reason why the black plate is kept secret from a vast majority of people, and I think we're going to learn about it soon enough when the secrets behind the school are revealed.
