Savannah Freedonia

**Savannah Freedonia** is the magician of the Fifth True Magic.

## Appearance

Savannah displays a very beautiful physical appearance with pale skin and the combination of blond hair and blue eyes, a very energetic American Centric beauty.

She stated that she likes wearing things that makes her feel comfortable and chooses to always wear cowboy (or cowgirl) clothes.

## Personality

Aloof and clumsy, yet free spirited, somehow managing to come together in this magician. She takes her life as a mage simply, while loving her life as a respectable, strong young woman. She is described to be an extremely strong person in terms of personality, regretting nothing in her life because she follows through on every decision she makes. Because she does not care at all about what other people think of her, she is able to stay true to herself in any situation, believing that the worst thing a person can do is to lie to oneself. Even while accepting her life to live in the dark side, she stubbornly sticks to the life of an honest person.

Savannah values special places with precious memories and living things, regardless of if they are humans, animals or even plants. She passes her value of life to Kimhyun Narukami. It was thanks to her that Kimhyun was able to live in the dark side despite his sense of justice. She's a difficult person to pin down, believes in justice, and is often unreliable.

Despite the fact that she and Jennifer Freedonia are sisters, shows great hostility towards her, to the point that she dislikes Runes because Jennifer uses a Rune-based Thaumaturgy.

## Background

During the after match of World War II, there were hundreds magic families migrated to the United States of America. They called themselves Freedonia, a name that took after their belief of the country. The family, like many other magician family that escaped the horror of the World War, allied themselves as mages of the New World. Combining their research together, those hundreds of family successfully created the seed that could survive after the world was doom. That seed was actually twin, Savannah and Jennifer.

Out of the twin, although Savannah is vastly inferior in term of being a magician with low stat, her personality makes her the perfect heir of True Magic.

## Abilities

As a transcendent and the holder of the Fifth Magic, Savannah is the only one capable of performing miracles.

However, despite the flashy introduction, Savannah is a below average mage as her general proclivity for magecraft is not all too great, seen in her abysmal mana stat. However her destructive tendency is unmatched.

Compared to Jennifer Freedonia who has some of the best circuits in the world, Savannah only has low grade, single function circuits found in mediocre mage which generates much lower magical energy than her sister. However due to their composition her circuits have extraordinary rotational speed, structural durability, quality of output, and fuel efficiency. As an adult, the speed of her magic circuits' rotation increases to near lightspeed. Simply the act of activating her Magic Circuits generates sound, and while magecraft making sound is common, noise from the circuits themselves is unheard of. Savannah compares this process like loading her pistols. Due to this, she is extremely destructive and specialized in fighting, earning her titles Magic Gunner.

### Magecraft

Savannah only knows the basic of basic in the arts of magicians. She is capable of condense mana into one place and fire it. These are called magic bullets. Savannah's bullets have three level of power:

* **Snap**: A single-action spell that favored rate of fire over power. Savannah's equivalent of a machine gun volley. Does not require a incantation.
* **Draw**: A formula-triggered bullet encased in a full wind jacket. If Snap was the equivalent of a machine gun volley, Draw was her artillery shot. Savannah is able to shatter Koken's quick barrier (although unable to harm him) and a nearby food stall. A double-action magic bullet that requires the activation of her crest combined with a simplified incantation.
* **Magic Blow**: Savannah's most powerful type of bullet. A massive bullet that is comparable to a nuke. The bullet generates 5000℃ of temperature upon firing, capable of destroying city with ease. It is a tenth of Koken's Deus Sema in term of power but considered that it only requires simple incantation, the spell easily outpower Koken in the short term.

Savannah's attribute is "**Starmine**", based on the concept of images Savannah can visualize easily turned into spells that cause nature interference. She is apparently comfortable with imagining exploding fireworks and rotating stars, so all of her destructive spells are based upon those images. Savannah is capable of creating fluctuating and fluid energy.

### High Speed Incantation

**High Speed Incantation (A):** A skill that speeds up incantation. Savannah develops her style as **Offensive** **High Speed Incantation**. Simply chanting “Bullets, Deploy" is enough to fire twenty bolts at once, deployed instantly with each being more powerful than a rocket. She is called by the very intuitive yet crude nickname of "Magic Gunner" because of the sheer abundance of high-output magic bullets she can fire off in rapid succession. Additionally, she uses Magecraft based on Notarikon, a branch of Kabbalah, which involves world play and shortening words.

Jennifer various runes are unable to stop her no matter the quality or quantity, as her outstanding reflexes and prediction act in synergy with the powerful force of the bullets she releases with both hands. Touko is amazed at the simplicity of her magecraft, commenting that even at her peak she is utterly hopeless in only being able to blow things apart. While runes are curses effective against people, her bullets are powerful projectiles that affect all things without discrimination.

She can be called a "melee-type" magus that generates magical energy from her ribs, and by the time it passes through her limbs, the spell is already in a ritually complete form that is expelled in a way that makes both her arms and legs resemble rocket burners to those on the receiving end of the attack. By making use of this, Savannah is capable of blowing herself away like how a rocket work. Allowing her to move with extreme speed.

### Magic Blue

**Magic Blue (EX):** Savannah's most unique trait, the True Fifth Magic that she got from her family.

#### Exchanging time

An application of Magic Blue being exchanging time by changing entropy as the True Magic is incapable of changing the world itself. Savannah is capable of Fast-forwarding her own time allowed her go from an apprentice to adept in an instant by taking 10 years of Kimhyun added to herself. She can make it so she does not exist within the time axis, using repeated instances of time travel by the second to avoid attacks completely. She either sends impacting attacks to a different time, or she wears thousands of "herself" over herself. It can avoid both numerous and powerful attacks, even ignoring Jennifer's Primeval Runes power and physical presence. It has a high energy output that cannot continue for long, but she manages to easily outlast Jennifer's prediction of her energy reserves.

Despite having taken Kimhyun's time, it does not affect him overtly. Their ages have not changed, so it is not his physical self she has manipulated. It is rather his internal time that has been taken, resulting in her seeing some of his memories during the activation. Despite being in familiar scenery within the white flowers, it feels like the first time he has seen it, only feeling slightly strange to him. Savannah, on the other hand, will feel nostalgia from viewing the area. His memories are jumbled, but he can still recall recent events. He can recall questions asked during the darkness of his death, though he does not remember having died, due to having had some fragments left that intersected with Savannah's time.

He will be unable to remember until she is done using the time and it is returned. Utilizing another person as a medium means that it is not a change in only Savannah. Savannah travelling back in time by herself would allow for the contradictions to become her own experience, but the exchange is proper time travel that will leave the contradiction properly corrected. Savannah's nostalgia and Kimhyun's unfamiliarity will be corrected at the end of the Magic to be as if they had never existed.

#### Burden

The Fifth is not the operation of parallel worlds, so it does not rewrite the world itself. That means the time she exchanges must be handled uniquely if she wishes to make the changes permanent, such as in the case with resurrecting Kimhyun. The ten years borrowed from him will be returned, so a one-sided exchange like that will leave the total mass of time in the current time axis unchanged. Winding back only "Kimhyun's five minutes" would normally mean that he would return to being a corpse after the Magic expires, as time travel carried out without changing the world cannot change the past. She has to either truly resurrect him, or take those actually existing five minutes and place them somewhere far away.

Time travel requires a massive quantity of energy, requiring mystic power to bring in things that don't exist in the current world, and likewise causing tremendous energy to be lost when something is made to be "no longer here." Utilizing time travel to move even such a small amount of time would necessitate balancing out the heat that had been there beforehand. Savannah left it in the far, far future, meaning that the debt incurred in the present has been left in the future. Even the idea of a time paradox is more humane, as such an enormous, thoughtless consumption of heat must not be allowed.

The idea horrifies Jennifer, as does the idea of the energy used in cooling the exchanged heat. The state of either more or less heat threatens to cause the collapse of order. The distortion created by her Magic will eventually affect the entire quadrant. Dumping an even greater debt on the death of the universe hundreds of billions years in the future, on to the dead end awaiting humanity, is like the equivalent of hanging a world-ending meteor over the planet. While Jennifer Freedonia believes Savannah will crush the planet with her own weight, Savannah says she will worry about it when the time comes and send it to the past the next time, so only it will be crushed by the distortion.

Jennifer is still horrified at the idea, saying that only humans will be fine with it. The present is established, but it should not be acceptable to erase the past. The total mass, the debt of the universe, needs to be handled properly. It doesn't matter if the universe is closed or still expanding because the increase in the amount of consumed heat will become uncontrollable. The end of indefinite expansion, indefinite consumption, and indefinite growth is not a future full of hope. It will be the nothing before creation, and the universe will eventually suffer heat death.

The Fifth will only help make that end more definite, but Savannah says she will take responsibility and do what she can while she lives. She has yet to actually think of such a course.
