The 9th mage

A legendary mage reincarnates into the heir of an inventor noble house, centuries after the world branded her Shadow Magic forbidden. Shadow Magic is unusually vulnerable to mana corruption, which can distort a spell beyond its caster’s intent. But consensus gives it strength: when people believe a spell will have greater impact, reality makes it so. Every spell’s power reflects what people believe it can do, making her art volatile and potentially supreme. She must rebuild its reputation and make it the greatest magic again.
