The Archduke Conference has come to an end, but Ehrenfest’s archducal family is still reeling from the troubles it brought. Rozemyne has one year before she must depart for the Sovereignty, and those in her service have an important choice to make.
Glad to see we’re returning to our roots–inventing new paper!
And it sounds like with this new paper, she could have an instant Schutzaria’s Shield–no cast time like they had to plan around in their game against Dunklefelger.
And maybe instant Darkness weapons as well? The time to cast for those was a problem in the OG trombe hunt.
As I understand it, the paper chants the spell, meaning it won’t be any quicker, just less effort… at the cost of more mana.
The main advantage is, that you can’t mess up the chant and that in theory it would enable people to use even spells they don’t know how to cast themselves.
All they need, is a person who knows the spell, to draw the magic circle on the paper for them, or for better mana efficiency, it’s probably better to have that person in question draw out the magic circle on an inert piece of paper, and for the user to copy the circle precisely onto the fey paper. As long as you copy it correctly without mistakes, you don’t even need to understand the circle.
I suppose it also means you aren’t stuck concentrating on the chant, meaning you can do something else (like dodging attacks), while the paper chants the spell on it’s own.

Slap a time saving circle over it and it’ll talk faster, maybe! 😂
