Caman noticed the change in Winters' tone and also adopted a formal attitude to listen attentively.
Winters cleared his throat: "We, the Alliance School of Magic—if there ever is such a school—our spellcasters believe that magic is not a wish-granting machine; it does not 'go from A to B' by skipping all paths.
If using a spell were likened to 'shooting a firearm,' then the spell of the Alliance School is not giving you a high-speed lead bullet directly. The spell of the Alliance School is more like a matchlock gun, with stock, barrel, and gunpowder; magic plays the role akin to the tiny weak spark at the tip of the matchlock.
And every part of the matchlock gun should be subject to study, understanding, and improvement, for it abides by laws that we do not yet know. As for the method of exploring these laws, it is only through repeated experimentation and demonstration.
