I saw it responded to Magic Power, so I collected it then.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haven’t you used an Identification Technique on it?\" Gauss guessed, considering the spell Andri seemed to cast when she briefly touched his Life Magic Stone could have been for identification.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s not surprising for Andri to know identification spells in a shop dealing in Magic Items.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ve used the Identification Technique, but only got very superficial results; I can’t determine what creature it comes from.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Over the years, I haven’t met a single Caster whose Magic Power has even the slightest compatibility with it. At first, I thought it was a big treasure, but it turned out to be completely unsellable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can you sell this to me?\" Gauss, holding the White Bone base, was unwilling to let go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uh?\" Andri suddenly widened her eyes, as if hearing something unbelievable, her mouth agape like a goldfish’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you saying your Magic Power is compatible with this base?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t just look at this lovely wand and trick me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Andri took out the White Bone staff merely because it was among the ones placed together; she hadn’t expected much from it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After so many years of testing, she had long lost hope; for all tested Casters, it hadn’t shown a hint of compliance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What spell do you know?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mage’s Hand.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why don’t you try casting with this White Bone staff?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Andri was also somewhat curious now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over these years, this White Bone staff’s price had decreased continuously and now she didn’t even care how much money it could sell for.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If this magical base material could really find a compatible Caster, it would be the end of a long-standing concern of hers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gauss nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This White Bone staff was very compatible with him, even at first use; he felt confident casting smoothly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mage’s Hand!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the Magic Power surged into the White Bone staff, the silky smooth sensation returned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So comfortable!
