The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

Chapter 50 Energy Storage Card?
“Breadfruit is so difficult to juice, it’s hard for young witches to think of juicing it. But if they had a juicer, they might try it with breadfruit, which is the easiest thing to get…” Sylph said.

If she had gotten her hands on a juicer, she would definitely have tried it on breadfruit first.

Moran knew this principle, but that didn't stop her from confirming it again:
"Dean, Dean, can I sell the juicer card to the younger little witches?"

Lilith, Vasita, and Sylph: "???"

One of the women, Ms. Amisha, who was watching Moran, exclaimed: "No!"

"Alright! Looks like I'll have to slowly find fourth or fifth-year female students to sell to and recoup my costs." Moran admitted honestly.

"No, Moran, is this how you usually summon the Dean?" Lilith had never seen a little witch use the Dean like this before.

“Isn’t the dean secretly observing our movements? Why don’t we just ask him directly if we have any questions? He won’t answer every question, but there’s no harm in asking!” Moran said.

Lilith and the other two actually thought she was right, and they all said, "We've learned something!"

“Let me tell you… I suspect there’s a hidden place in the academy where 148 Amisha ladies are hiding. Each Amisha lady is watching over a little witch to prevent any accidents from happening to her. Otherwise, why is the headmaster always able to appear in time?” Moran said with an air of seriousness.

"Really?" Sylph's ears perked up in surprise: "One hundred and forty-eight Amisha ladies?"

"This is too outrageous!" Lilith thought it was impossible: "What kind of magic can create 148 clones? And maintain them indefinitely?"

"Whether it's true or not, why don't we just ask the dean?"

Vasita was quick to apply what she had learned: "Dean, Dean, is it true? Do you really have one hundred and forty-eight clones?"

"..."

An awkward silence ensued.

"See! I told you the dean wasn't willing to answer every question." Moran shrugged.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have just been suspicious.

"Alright, alright, let's not talk about asking the dean for now."

Lilith was afraid that the headmaster would jump out and beat them up.

The academy has no rule that the dean cannot hit little witches!
She changed the subject:

"Molan!"

Why didn't you research some other cards? Why did you invest so much money in researching a card that's so easily replaceable?

I think your automatic juicer has a pretty good energy storage effect, but you might as well research a card that specifically stores energy!
If you have extra energy, you can add it to your card and take it out when you want to use it.

Moran thought about it carefully: "That's really true!"

She had her own purple gems stored energy in the Book of Cards, so she hadn't thought of making such cards for the time being.

The juicer card is destined not to sell very well among the little witches.

We're already spending more than we earn right now; it would be good if we could just break even in the future.

But cards that store magic are different!
Not every little witch is like them, constantly worrying about not having enough magic power to spend in order to research the manifestation of her talents.

If we could save up the extra magic power we have each day, wouldn't our purchasing power be much stronger?
They'll be more generous when buying cards then.

If you round it up, wouldn't she earn even more?
"I need to examine this card more closely..."

Seeing Moran lost in thought, Lilith gave Vasita and Sylph a wink, and the three little witches stood up together:
"You keep studying it, we're leaving now! We'll wait for your good news!"

"okay!"

After her friends left, Moran remembered that she still hadn't designed the space cards! But this time, she learned her lesson and first asked the dean if they could be sold:

"Dean, can storage space cards be sold?"

"Not allowed before fourth grade!"

It seems to overlap with some kind of magical ability that little witches must learn.

Alright, Moran has completely given up. The space card probably won't even break even, so he'll focus on researching the energy storage card for now!

Once I have enough magic power, I should be able to make a space card for my own convenience.

"A card that stores magic... its function is to store and retrieve magic? No, no, no, not all little witches are witches; it should also have a magic conversion function."

What form should it take? Simple cards seem to save the most mana.

Moran began editing the card's functionality and appearance.

[Card Design: Energy Storage Card]

[Estimated Cost: Infinite Mana]

[Expected Appearance: Appearance Template 1]

[Expected Function: Users can convert their own energy into magic power through energy storage cards for storage, or convert the magic power in the cards into any form of energy and absorb it into their bodies for use. The maximum storage capacity is 10 Mana magic power.]

"Ok?"

Upon seeing the projected consumption, Moran was taken aback: "Why is it infinite magic power again? Where did things go wrong?"

It only has a storage capacity of 10 Mana!
She read the card design into the slot to see the difficulties.

[Current Challenge 1: Severe shortage of card production capacity. It is recommended to replenish card production capacity, reduce the expected card functions, or set a limit on card functions.]

[Current difficulty 2: Lack of knowledge regarding absorbing and utilizing unclaimed energy into the body. It is recommended to supplement this knowledge.]

Upon seeing "Difficulty 2", Moran suddenly realized what was going on.

In fact, even the magic power that she infused into the purple gem of her card book cannot be reabsorbed into her body for use; it can only be used to create cards.

The Golden Pen Contract can indeed convert someone else's magic power directly into one's own, but she doesn't understand the principles behind it.

Her Golden Pen Technique was merely the right to use it obtained from the Contract Witch Carmela; it wasn't a true ability that belonged to her.

That's why she couldn't conjure up this effect out of thin air when creating cards!

Right now, she can probably only create energy storage cards that store magic power for use in card draws.

But where do the other little witches get so many cards to spend?

Perhaps in the future, as she creates more types of cards, these special energy storage cards for cards will become somewhat useful to other little witches.

If it's not very meaningful, it means it won't sell for a good price! We'll lose money!
Unless the magic in the cards is restored to an energy that all witches can access and use.

Clinging to a last glimmer of hope, Moran changed "can convert the magic power in the card into any energy and absorb it into the body for use" to "can convert the magic power in the card into any energy and use it directly for casting spells." He tried it, but it still showed insufficient energy, indicating a lack of knowledge on how to use stored energy for casting spells.

It can only produce energy storage cards specifically for card making; the energy stored in them cannot be reused by the witch.

Moran suddenly realized:
"If I don't know any magic and have no knowledge of magic, does that mean I can't create any magical cards with magical effects?"

Including spatial cards, perhaps she could use the Book of Cards to create spatial cards that can store cards, but since she doesn't know any spatial magic, she probably couldn't create storage space cards!

She even designed a simple storage card, and the result was just as she expected.
