Description
Shion's striking red hair and eyes distinguish him from his adoptive family. Originally a 30-year-old from modern times who yearned for magic, he died and reincarnated as an infant in another world. Discovering magic seemingly absent there plunged him into profound childhood disappointment and depression.

His outlook transformed after witnessing a mysterious luminous phenomenon at a lake with his older sister Marie, reigniting his belief in magic's potential. He resolved: "If there is no magic, then I will make it myself," dedicating his life to pioneering magical systems through rigorous research.

Shion exhibits a calm, rational, and studious personality due to his adult mind in a child's body. He remains focused on experimentation despite skepticism, recognized as a diligent researcher. Intense enthusiasm—sometimes manifesting as a "creepy smile"—surfaces during breakthroughs. Though shy and solitary, he shares deep familial bonds, particularly with Marie, whose protective devotion occasionally bewilders him.

A critical revelation establishes Shion is not human but a descendant of the ancient mage race, the Rugure, born from humans and demons. Rescued as an infant from being weaponized by royalty, he was secretly adopted and raised by Gawain and Ema. This heritage becomes pivotal when ancient demons reemerge, shattering his peaceful life and forcing him to confront his lineage.

His research centers on "Obi" (the Rugure term for magic/sorcery), discovering it is fueled by strong emotions like affection, joy, or excitement. Initial manifestations include a warm aura or "demonic possession state," invisible to those without magical talent. Through systematic experimentation, he identifies limitations like daily capacity and sustaining emotional intensity. Integrating scientific principles from his past life, he pioneers foundational spells:
- "Flare" (fire manipulation, later refined into "Gas Flare" for controlled blue flames)
- "Bolt" (lightning/electricity, utilizing materials like lightning ore)
- "Aqua" (water gathering through dispersed magical energy)
- "Blow/Wind" (air control)
He also invents "complex magic" by combining elemental spells to amplify effects. His experiments involve shaping energy, testing combustibility, and understanding interactions with natural elements.

Key events shape his journey: a goblin attack on his village demonstrates magic's practical need and deepens his bond with Marie; the resurgence of demons reveals his Rugure heritage and connects to a broader conflict; a magical disease outbreak prompts him to cure his village, leveraging a significant power increase gained post-demon confrontation. His ultimate role evolves into that of a hero propagating magic to save others and reshape his world.
