With that explosion I began to understand a little bit more, though whether I was putting these pieces of knowledge into the right spots or if I was completely wrong was yet to be determined, but that was all part of the trial and error that I was going to be learning through.
Casting spells was tied quite intimately with the mind of the mage using the mana to create things, so if you believed in rigid and cold logic then you needed to utilize that sort of iron clad thinking throughout your spells.
Becoming mechanical in their casting and hammering all any and all kinks to streamline them into perfect products of the resources inside of you being shaped to your will would yield better results for someone who followed logic above all else.
On the flip side someone like me would benefit the most from thinking of magic as a sort of... performance, like a piece of art or a dance; fluid, malleable and bound only to the emotions that each branch of magic instilled into you.
