"Complicated how?" —Jack
"It cannot be resolved, and as such, it will build up over the years, and due to how the world works, it will be manifested in a contained space." —Victor
"Are those contained spaces the Warped Spaces?" —Jack
Victor smiled at the quick assumption of Jack.
"Indeed, and those spaces are going to exist until the instability gets resolved." —Victor
"But why isn't all the instability in a single big contained space?" —Jack
"There is such a space, actually." —Victor
There is?
"Where?" —Jack
"Up north, just beyond the Dragon Mountain range, but it's impossible to reach." —Victor
...Where again? Jack remembered that he didn't see a map in his entire time in this world.
Victor seemed to sense this and got up from the couch, walked to the desk, and, behind it, took a map from the drawer as well as two weights and came back to the coffee table.
The map of the world was placed in front of Jack, with Victor's cane and two weights so that it wouldn't curl up opposite it.
"I made this one myself." —Victor
It depicted a single continent, and, starting from the north down, it had a great forest in the northwest covering half of the northernmost part from the unmelted sea in the west to what appeared to be a blank area.
The forest, as well as the sea west of it, had white over it, signifying cold from the middle point of the forest up, leaving the peak of the continent frozen over.
On the other side, from what was depicted as a great storm that covered the entire East Sea area of the Northeast Continent to the eastern edge of the forest, sat a very big mountain range that had a few tiny dragons flying around it.
From it downwards flowed a river. It was the Mehatot River that flowed down the continent, eventually splitting up at the center. Mehatot was the one heading west, separating the Northwest from the rest of the continent; Nehatot and Beahtot headed down through a jungle, eventually rejoined together, making a big island, and then spilled into the sea slightly east of the middle point due to a mountain range forcing it to flow that way, that mountain range being longer and separating a desert from the lush jungle up north.
Victor pointed at the blank space beyond the Dragon Mountain Range that was pretty much sealed off from the rest of the world by the forest in the east, the winter in the north, the storm in the east, and finally the mountain range in the south.
"This is the place where instability is moved to when it builds up too much and isn't resolved." —Victor
"Why is it blank? Is it unexplored?" —Jack
"No, it isn't like this because it's unexplored, but because there is nothing but contradictions and atrocities. That place is where the world itself stops existing as a... well... it is what it is." —Victor
"Well, before I continue, I need to make one thing clear." —Victor
"That spot is where God does one hundred percent of the work in solving instability while the rest of the world gets about ninety-nine." —Victor
This is like saying you don't know and that it is the work of God... Which god though?
But if what he is saying is true, then most of the work when using instability is done by this God? Does it extend to magic? It would explain why magic seems so easy to use.
Jack moved his right hand over the pressure in his stomach.
"Is it the same for magic itself? Which God?" —Jack
"Magic gets restrained rather than assisted, and as for the second question, the answer is The Creator." —Victor
"Restrained how?" —Jack
Victor stood in silence for a few seconds, thinking of how to answer the question.
"Think of it as a constant extra requirement in energy for beings that don't have the authority and understanding."
"What is an aut—" Jack attempted to speak but was interrupted by Victor, who lifted his finger.
"Think about the fire spell I just cast. While a person without much knowledge can cast it the same as I did, it will require more energy than, let's say—" —Victor
"A being that embodies fire, it has the knowledge of fire combined with innate understanding from its bloodline." —Victor
"For example, knowledge of the laws of the world will allow one to cast spells at a reduced cost with more pronounced effects, but at the cost of it following the laws of the world." —Victor
"That spell I just cast constantly brought in air from its surroundings because I desired it internally while chanting. While it was immune to the lack of fuel like wood, the moment you remove air, it will collapse." —Victor
