Re: explanations on Magic points and Magic power
All these infos have been thoroughly quoted from the manga itself, I can precise the chapters if needed, feel free to use it.
m0 plate: The m0 plate renders magic ineffective. It suppresses magic waves and produces a territory in which magic doesn't work around the owner. The erase magic, a certain amount of magic points if required. The amount of points determines the effectiveness of the ability to erase magic. Thus spells cannot be installed on it. For example if you have 50 points on it and get attacked by a 30 points spell, you will be able to nullify the attack but you will use 30 points. If you get attacked by the same attack, you won't be able to totally nullify it since you only have 20 points left.
Magic spells: To use a spell, an installation needs to be done by reciting the secret spells to the magic plate. Those can be found in textboots and/or the books of magic in the library. Once the spells are recited by the owner's voice, the plate records the spell which will then be easily retrieved by its title. It varies from spell to spell, but a strong magic takes longer spells that might take up to several days to recite. Also, if the person reciting maintains a high spiritual concentration during the installation, the magic will come out in high quality, even if it's the same magic its effect will be better.
Magic points: Magic points are the assessment numbers relating to the magic of a student. It is used as a reference in deciding a plate's advancement.
Magic plates: A magic plate is the so-called memory device for magic in which the user records necessary magical programs and executes them with magic energy that is created in the "special magic zone". Magical capacity differs, depending on the effect and period. The larger the magic is, the more complex memory will be needed, which in turn will use more plate capacity. This lower level plates may not be able to use some types of magic.
Black Magic layer: It gives normal plates a special layer of magic, the plate itself may automatically register it. That magic layer is black, so it's called "black magic manipulation". This type of magic will save small quantities of the magic it has come in contact with. Technically, a small portion of the magic that's being used will be saved onto the plate and this magic can be used later. However it only has space for one magic spell, when the spell is used the plate will be empty.
This function is useless if you have a normal plate because the magic can be used again if needed, therefore there is no need for saving the magic.
BM0 plate: To save magic, the plate needs to touch the magic while "Charge" is recited. Afterwards by saying "Open" it can be used at the owner's leisure. Depending on the level, the memorized magic scale will change, if it's level 1 it memorize 10%, it goes up to level 10 which absorbs 100% of the magic. If the m0 function is used with the Black m0, it'll erase whatever magic it has memorized. If the owner wants to keep the magic, he can't use m0.
