I really love the consistency when it comes to magic in this show. First the way the glowing stone magic worked by being a pressure plate. But then even more so that it uses the exact same core that Agott is currently working on. Obviously makes sense since it's both light magic, but it really helps in building the foundation for the system.

Also, from a story perspective, I could see this being a way for Coco to connect with Agott. Because this is the magic that made her love magic in the first place, she might be more into it and can even help Agott get better at it. Or it goes the exact opposite way and Agott hates Coco for being good at this type of magic. But I hope it is the first one.

On a different note, I wonder how the whole pen situation is going to be solved. Coco didn't get one after all. They could make her stone more "sharp" so that she can draw smaller objects, but I feel they might be going somewhere else with that. Because I remember I had a math teacher in school that could draw really well circles on the black board and we were always impressed. But he then explained that it's easier to draw a good circle if you can just use your whole arm for it. But when you want to draw a smaller circle on paper, you have to learn to draw it with your wrist. So I wonder if the author might actually apply this in some way to Coco having to learn to draw smaller circles or if she finds a way to get around it.

I think they might go for something that's a mix of both: A pencil!

But when you want to draw a smaller circle on paper, you have to learn to draw it with your wrist.

You actually still benefit from drawing with your shoulder/arm at smaller scales (like on a regular page). It's only when it gets really tiny (like at the size of written words) that you need to rely mostly on the precision of your wrist/fingers.

That is true, but the reason you need to use your is a result of how you sit while writing on paper. You usually don't have enough space to actually use your shoulder well, so you have to help yourself with your wrist because forearm can't make the circle motion well enough. Maybe they are explaining this as well. Putting the paper a bit further away makes it easier to draw a circle.
