"Honestly?" Cassius smiled slightly. "At first, nothing worked out perfectly."
"I had to repeat the process countless times, creating new frameworks and structures, testing them against what I knew about mana theory, discarding what didn't work, rebuilding from scratch when necessary."
He paused for a breath, then continued with growing confidence.
"But eventually, I got a general grasp of the introductory concepts, and after that, everything became like laying bricks in a building."
"I put them down one by one, creating a specific flow and progression of knowledge that would guide your mana toward creating your own complete domain."
His voice took on a tone of proud determination.
"And as I stepped further and further into the research, I became more and more confident that I was going in the right direction."
"The frameworks started fitting together more elegantly."
"The theoretical contradictions resolved themselves."
He gestured expansively.
