Due to reading all those ancient history books during his internship with the Rune Knights, he came to realize that several different scholars have founded the variety of magic present today at different timestamps. Needless to say, every scholar came from a unique background with completely different needs for the harness of their mana. Also, what surprised the young reader the most was the scholars’ different timestamps was indirectly related to how complex the magic was. His Delirious Gas Magic was founded by an ancient Fiorian scholar who surprisingly had minimal contact with magic prior to his discovery. In addition to that, a biography that was written by one of his students who’d mastered the magic several years after the death of the founder stated that his disciples numbered less than five. With only three of them getting a full grasp of the magic’s full potential, and one of those three moving out of Fiore on a journey across the lands to expand his knowledge, only to never be heard of again. As a result of that, the generations that followed barely had any students to pass it on. There remained a few families that incorporated the magic as heritage and kept its books and teachings safe. Eventually though, the magic died out. There was always an easier magic to master thrown out there somewhere with official schools and libraries dedicated to spread its teachings. Other scholars who’d expanded their schools back in the day and accepted more pupils than others gave stronger references to the newer generations. There were countless intricate studies on magic available that even the families who once held onto the Delirious Gas Magic teachings sacredly eventually let go. Still, their families cherished this great accomplishment of their ancestors and held onto it even after the magic was lost.
The Brookes happened to be one of those families. They were in possession of the books and the scrolls but with missing pieces here and there. Their branch of the family came from the second disciple. As he grew up, Ace always knew about the magic and how it ended up where it did. His grandfather had absolutely no clue or the interest to bring that magic back to existence. Nor did his grandfather’s father, nor his grandfather… From a young age, Ace made it clear to his grandfather that he was to become a renowned mage. His grandfather suggested that he follow in the footsteps of his ancestors. Seeing how intelligent and dedicated the boy was at such a young age, his grandfather believed in him. At first Ace looked for something new and exciting that would appeal to him. He spent a large chunk of his time reading up on all the magic before he eventually got back to his roots. Upon finding a read in the library from the first disciple, the young boy started spending more of his time researching magic in his own little home, reading up on the scrolls and getting translation books from ancient Fiorian.
