"What do you mean?" Richard withdrew his gaze from the painting, squinting his eyes as he scanned the three Aegean Magic Tutors one by one. "Gentlemen, I'm in no mood for jokes."
"Richard, why don't you take a look at the signature?" Master Stefano flicked his finger over the tail end of the magic diagram, where the dancing orange flames formed Master Puskas' unique signature.
Richard said nothing, waiting for the Fire Elemental Grand Magic Tutor to continue his explanation.
The magic diagram isn't an oil painting. An oil painting may have imitators who could create convincing fakes, but that's not possible with a magic diagram. The magic diagram is directly imprinted from the Memory Crystal Ball; it requires the crystal ball to have previously recorded the same scene, making imitation impossible.
