===PG 29=== Panel 1: -------- Box 1: And that quota is to provide over a hundred graduates who either enter the University of Magic or enroll in a Magic Technical Institute of Specialized Higher Training. Box 2: It is no exaggeration now to say that the nurturing of powerful Magicians equates to determining the power of a country.

Panel 3: -------- Box 1: CAD --- Casting Assistant Device Box 2: Replacing tools such as spell chants, magic circles, spellbooks, etc, it is a tool of necessity for any modern Magician who can supply it with an activation sequence for the purpose of invoking magic.
