Magic in Etius isn't a concept of matter.
It's a concept of phenomena.
Whether you're shooting fire, hurling ice spears, or erecting earthen walls, none of it can continue to exist in reality.
Once the caster cancels the spell or runs out of mana, it all disappears
Not even a copy.
"I need to change my thinking. Trying to create something out of thin air was wrong from the start. It's impossible. I can't create a shield."
What I need isn't matter.
It's phenomena.
Just like when a mage conjures fire, they're creating the "phenomenon of burning."
With a sword, it's the "phenomenon of cutting."
With a shield, it's the "phenomenon of blocking."
What kind of ability would this be? The mc has the ability to "Weave" things into existence, but he can't create actual things, only the phenomenon of it. Ie, if he wants to throw a knife, he has to create the phenomenon of a throwing knife, if he wants to block, he has to create the phenomenon of blocking.
