So the last episode was a bit weak if u ask me.... For starters i dont like how she just gets magic powers out of the blue...or rather she can use magic powers, while it was established that commoners can't use magic even if they have mana.
Secondly i don't like how the Blue Priest acted there. It would have been better if he straight out acted kindly from the start and overruled the High Priest. Like if he is a good guy it would have been better if he was good from the start. In the current situation , what he did seems more like he was forced to do it...idk i am a bit dissapointed in the execution.
Thirdly, why did they get overwhelmed by the girl? Sure she has alot of mana, but they were Nobles, why not use magic themselves? All nobles have magic right? Surely they should be able to handle a little girl....If they have impenetrable shields for a library they should have some sort of decent magic for protection at least.
Forthly did she realy need to get overwhelming magic power? She allredy had a strong point in being rly smart due to her previous life, but now she has overwhelming magic power..... i am a bit salty not gonna lie.
Oh? I missed that thread completely.
Let's see.. It 's a bit complicated to answer part of this without spoiling parts of the world building that have yet to be revealed but I'll try to avoid spoiling as much as possible.
1) This is merely throwing raw mana to the others while being under strong emotions. It's mostly harmless to nobles, and is seen a " child's tantrum" because that's something noble young children will do from time to time when they get too upset. like the head priest said, this is something noble children that haven't learned how to control their emotion will do. It's mostly harmful to the child doing it in fact.
So that's not really using magic. it's also not the fist time she used that, she did it too when she was angry after her clay tablet were destroyed. Commoner usually don't have mana, and even if they have they don't have the tools and knowledge to use it. Throwing a tantrum to intimidate peoples is not seen as "using magic" by the nobles.
2) This is a bit complex and if you want to see why you should watch the second part really. It's kind of partially answered already. But no, short answer is he can't. And even if he tried this would have political consequences that would benefit no one in here. He took the matter into his own hands after the high priest "conveniently retired" from the negotiation. As long as the high priest was here he would just have said no to it.
3) No, the grey robes are just commoners orphans. The High priest as a blue robe (well, his robe is white but he's still a blue robe) is someone that was rejected from the noble's society for having too little mana to meet the standard of his own family. So he didn't get the tools to use mana, nor the knowledge either. Ferdinand(head priest) actually got both despite being a blue robe and was the only one in the room in that situation. Ferdinand wasn't overwelmed by Myne's mana, he just bite his lips (creating pain) to avoid the effect on his mind. He could have knocked her out any time but he wanted a peaceful solution to that mess. So only a "half noble old geezer" and "normal commoners" got affected by what Myne did.
4) I mean the reason the original Myne died, and her sickness is all due to that. If she didn't had that, original Myne wouldn't have died, Motosu Urano wouldn't be in her body, she wouldn't be bedridden all the time, wouldn't create lots of stuff and make money, wouldn't be learning merchant stuff, the church wouldn't want her so we would not get any story at all from start to finish.
So the question "did she need magical power" well yes she needed that mana or no story at all.
To rectify a few things (the following covers with more detail the world building on those points, but some part could be felt spoilerish for those who like to discover the world little by little through Mayne's eyes. There is no plot spoiler though)
the relation between magic and individuals,
1)-All "nobles" are born with magic.
The quantity varies heavily but they're all born with it.
To picture what being born with magic in this world mean, you can picture a source of magic inside the person, constantly producing magic. That magic source and the produced magic resulting is stored inside a "container" of sort, in which the magic is harmless for the person's body. so the source is inside the "container", and it fills the container. if the container gets full, magic overflow from the top and start invading the body. This is harmful to the body.
This is the "box" image that was pictured in the anime, with the liquid inside the box overflowing. it's a nice image to understand how it works.
The result of magic overstaying in wrong place of the body is a body that has a hard time to grow properly (like for Frieda and Myne who are way shorter than average for their age), high fever, pain, loss of consciousness and the like. Ultimately, if left unattended, it leads to death. Those symptoms are called "migui", or in english, "Devouring".
This is not a disease per se, but simply signs that a child has more mana than a commoner should have without having the tools to evacuate it.
There are way to mentally "compress" (ie, rising the density of the stored magic) the magic in the container to be able to store more, and as peoples grow up, the amount of generated magic rises but the size of the container also get bigger.
Of course if you were taught how to use it and have the necessary tools, you can use it that way as well.
For young noble children, they are provided with special gems (usually in the form of a bracer or ring I believe?) that can store mana. So children will walk around with those and the excess mana will be sucked and stored inside the gem. This is the bracelet bought to Frieda that Myne broke as she was about to die a few episodes before the end of part 1.
So, mana capacity is genetic mostly. But it varies from time to time. Sometimes a noble will get born with way less mana than his family usually have. Those peoples usually get "donated" to the church, those are the traditional "blue robes" seen in part 2 of the anime.
And in reverse, some times commoner are born with more mana than the bare minimum to exist as a human, and since they don't have any tool to collect the excess mana, the excess mana will overflow in their body. So those children become "devoured" and if not found in time and provided with costly tools to survive, they will die before reaching 7 for most of them.
So as said above, mana inside the body is dangerous for the person's health and will damage the body.Children with mana (nobles or not) that haven't been told how to control their emotion yet and don't control well their own mana flow will sometimes use something they call "Iatsu" (literally, "intimidation", wrongly translated as "Crushing" by crunchyroll (wtf CR?). This is merely excess of mana thrown raw at other peoples only through strong emotions. This is harmful for the child doing it. It's literally the child throwing a tantrum, just with mana on top of it.
"Intimidation" in itself is not dangerous for most adult nobles. Peoples on the church are mostly like I said above very lacking in mana and were not educated as nobles due to this (blue robes), or just commoners orphans (grey robes) so they're weaker to it. Even so, it will mostly just intimidate them, so they may at worse fall unconscious. The precise case of the high priest old fart is that he has a weak heart on top of having weak mana for a noble, so strong induced fear may have lead to an heart attack.
As you can see, to resist the pressure the head priest (Ferdinand) just bite strongly (the blood came from that) his own lips to create some pain and overcame it with ease.He could have knocked Myne out but wanted a peaceful solution so he talked it out.
2) The relation between the high priest and head priest is covered in part 2. I will just mention that the high priest, despite being rejected as a noble, is technically part of the dominant noble faction in the region, and the head priest ( Ferdinand) is not. So Ferdinand has to watch out to not give excuses to said faction to get rid of him.
So he cannot do whatever he wants. There are other reasons he didn't act though.

Reading a Better explanation gave me better understanding and a reminder, thanks for that
orginally I read the part 1 of the manga but forgot a few of the details, haven't got round to reading the LN yet, as I have too many to read
PS. No clue why it quoted you twice , stupid phone
