The Saint's Magic Power Is Omnipotent | comment |
Sei Takanashi is your average Japanese salarywoman: terribly overworked, constantly stressed out, and without the time, the opportunity, nor the energy for things outside of her career like friends, family, or romantic life. After yet another night of working extreme overtime for at her job, she enters the tiny, empty apartment she lives in... but with a circle of light suddenly appearing beneath her then a flash of light, she suddenly finds herself in a medieval European castle, surrounded by robed priests, knights, and cheering aristocrats.As is quickly explained to her, she was part of a ritual to summon a "Saint", a benevolent, powerful magician who would slay the monsters and purify the miasma threatening to overrun the kingdom of Salutania and the rest of the world. However, there's a problem: instead of just one person from another world, there are two, Sei and a much younger, much more conventionally attractive, and innocent girl, Aira Misono.While the priests are rightfully confused, Prince Kyle Salutania has no such reservations and immediately marches forward and kneels before Aira, introducing himself and sweeping the kingdom's new "Saint" off her feet.With no precedent, no way to get Sei back to her world, and feeling terribly guilty about this incident, the kingdom decides to let Sei stay in the castle, visit its related facilities like the Royal Research Institute, and spend her time as she pleases. Without TV, video games, or the ability to take a stroll in the woods without getting attacked by bloodthirsty monsters, and with the castle residents mysteriously avoiding her and not even bothering to visit, Sei finds herself terribly bored—until she accidentally stumbles on an herb garden full of familiar plants like lavender and oregano.A friendly scientist from the institute, Jude, introduces her to the concept of potion-making, and with a past hobby in herbalism, Sei quickly becomes a researcher making potions and studying herbs' effects. As everyone quickly learns, however, Sei's magic is overwhelmingly powerful and her past-life knowledge allows her to make groundbreaking innovations and discoveries that threaten to rock the nation and upset the balance of power. Add budding romances with handsome men, encroaching monsters and miasma, and friendships with nobles and other residents of this world, and Sei's life becomes very interesting indeed.The Saint's Magic is Overpowered (è�–女ã�®é”力ã�¯ä¸‡èƒ½ã�§ã�™) is a Web Serial Novel written by Yuki Tachibana, which was first released on ShÅ�setsuka ni NarÅ� in 2016. It was later published as a series of Light Novels with illustrations by Yasuyuki Syuri, a manga adaptation drawn by Fujiazuki, and then an anime adaptation by Diomedea which first aired during the Spring 2021 anime season, with a second season airing in Fall 2023. It is licensed by Kadokawa Books, Kadokawa Shoten's ComicWalker website. The official English translations of both the light novels and manga are handled by Seven Seas Entertainment.A spin-off of the series, called The Saint's Magic is Overpowered - Another Saint (è�–女ã�®é”力ã�¯ä¸‡èƒ½ã�§ã�™ï½žã‚‚ã�†ä¸€äººã�®è�–女~) is later released and focuses on Aira, and what she experienced and saw throughout the story. | |

How Do I Shot Web? | |
The Saint's Magic Power Is Omnipotent / int_21fd09a7 | comment |
How Do I Shot Web?: Because all records of previous Saints are redacted to conceal information about their abilities when they weren't destroyed outright (to prevent enemies from identifying and eliminating Saints before they fully come into their full power), every Saint has to figure out how to invoke their Saint-only abilities from scratch. | |

White Mage | |
The Saint's Magic Power Is Omnipotent / int_358388f6 | comment |
White Mage: Of what little is known about the Saints, healing magic and purifying the monster-producing miasma are their most prominent traits. Sei also displays other techniques, like amplifying the recovery effects of potions; infusing normal food with enchanted traits; and being able to near effortlessly enchant gems with extremely powerful defensive buffs like Resistance or Nullification. | |

Crapsaccharine World | |
The Saint's Magic Power Is Omnipotent / int_3b79029a | comment |
Crapsaccharine World: Salutania, dear lord. It's all nice and pleasant because Sei is in the heavily guarded, well-supplied, and very rich royal capital for most of the story, but as quickly becomes apparent the more she steps out of that bubble, travels to different regions, and participates in monster subjugation, this world is in serious trouble even with the Saint. Miasma is spreading and monsters are springing up faster and fiercer than mere mortal soldiers and professional hunters can subjugate them, industries are being crippled as safe areas become smaller and smaller and more and more resources go into defense than expansion, and even things like basic medical supplies are facing impending total collapse, especially prominent as any given monster subjugation ends with several heavily injured and crippled soldiers. And then you have all the court politics where every lord and leader of a territory wants to be sent soldiers and assistance first, regardless of their importance in the grand scheme of things, King Siegfried is struggling to keep his kingdom from splitting apart due to faction differences, and his son and successor is a massive, impulsive idiot with something to prove and far too little skill to actually do it properly. It's a good thing that so many other leaders and prominent individuals are Reasonable Authority Figures that are, at the least, willing to do their jobs without too much playing politics and advancing their interests over the society's, because the Saint is not going to be able to fix all these problems by her lonesome. | |

Slow Life Fantasy | |
The Saint's Magic Power Is Omnipotent / int_415aff44 | comment |
Slow Life Fantasy: Downplayed. The eponymous Saint is initially identified as Aira Misono, which leaves Sei Takanashi—formerly an overworked Office Lady likely headed towards karoshi—at loose ends. She gets a job as an alchemy researcher and takes it easy, helped along by her herbology hobby from Japan. The mistake is eventually discovered because her potions and healing magic are so much stronger than anyone else's, but even after having to take on the responsibility of being the Saint, she still manages to spend the bulk of her time doing the more relaxing work of growing medicinal plants and making potions and cosmetics (and making goo-goo eyes at Captain Hawke). | |

Iyashikei: For however grim the situation is around the kingdom, what with the spreading miasma and monster attacks that can both poison and ravage the humans, respectively, much of Sei's time in this new world is spent enjoying herself, making medicines, food, and cosmetics for other people's benefits; hanging out with her new friends, coworkers, and her superiors; and having flirtatious interactions with handsome, single, interested young men. | |

Enemy Scan | |
The Saint's Magic Power Is Omnipotent / int_598c85e0 | comment |
Enemy Scan: The Appraise spell acts like this with more powerful users. Even analyzing the traits of items (magical ones especially) is a difficult task and considering how important and sensitive knowing a person's exact strengths and weaknesses are, only the most trusted individuals are even taught it. For less powerful users, it's actually useless - the spell can only analyze people of equal or lesser level than the caster. | |

Zero-Approval Gambit | |
The Saint's Magic Power Is Omnipotent / int_599c74ea | comment |
Zero-Approval Gambit: Anime Only: After accepting the mistake he made during the Saint Summoning Ritual, Prince Kyle decides to run one of these. He continues ignoring Sei and acting completely convinced of Aira's Sainthood. Were Sei to prove herself the Saint, Kyle's hope is that his unreasonable behavior would shield Aira from any blame (and punishment) for Sei's treatment, at the cost of shouldering that blame himself. He succeeds, and a couple characters who know what he did thank him for it. | |

The Saint's Magic Power Is Omnipotent / int_601a7577 | comment |
Off the Chart: Most prominently shown in the Light/Web Novels where Sei has access to the Appraise spell, but her stats are ridiculously high compared to the rest of the world. Her base level is 55 - 10 levels higher than Salutania's highest levelled man, Grand Magus Yuri Drewes. Her Holy Magic level is even higher, simply displayed as the infinity symbol. Not to mention the actual Saint's Magic which seems to be entirely outside the scope of the regular magic system. | |

Magic Potion | |
The Saint's Magic Power Is Omnipotent / int_60bba69b | comment |
Magic Potion: The institute's main source of income and subject of research are magical potions, especially ones for healing. The soldiers who fend off the bloodthirsty monsters are the most frequent customers, but they're also used by workers, travelers, and those who are sickly or infirm for treating accidents or chronic conditions. Sei herself also almost exclusively uses these to harness her magic; she can't cast spells directly at the start but she can make a potion that's just as effective and can be administered by anyone as needed, to boot. | |

Sliding Scale of Gender Inequality | |
The Saint's Magic Power Is Omnipotent / int_6ad1eeb8 | comment |
Sliding Scale of Gender Inequality: Almost Perfectly Equal. The society is male-dominated, as you might expect, with almost all of Sei's fellow researchers and magicians being men, the entire Third Order of Knights and every other professional soldiers are all young men, and many of the officials from other departments like the Royal Mages and are also men. However, despite appearing to lack the powers of a saint, Sei is allowed to become a researcher at the institute, faces no discrimination unique to her gender, and becomes a highly-respected figure for her work and her talents alongside her beauty. Noblewomen like Liz are also shown to be independent, have a healthy respect for other women in male-dominated fields like potion research, and her interest in beauty is for the sake of feeling and looking good rather than to appeal to the men around her. Men in general, from nobility to common soldiers, also consistently treat Sei and other women with the utmost respect. | |

Adaptational Early Appearance: Lady Elizabeth Ashley, better known as "Liz", and Lady Nicole Ardler show up in Episode 2 of the anime, whereas in the original web novel it takes quite a while for Sei to find female companionship, thanks to the male-dominated society of Salutania. Aira's unintentionally causing waves in the Academy due to her befriending engaged young men is also mentioned much earlier, along with Sei getting indirectly roped in because of Liz telling her about it. | |

Refusal of the Call | |
The Saint's Magic Power Is Omnipotent / int_87b8f581 | comment |
Refusal of the Call: In all versions other than the anime, Sei knows she is a saint from very early on. She refuses to reveal this fact to anyone else, out of a combination of believing that Aira can save Salutania without her help, and an unwillingness to take on dangerous and/or unpleasant duties for a Kingdom she feels to have wronged her. | |

Utility Magic | |
The Saint's Magic Power Is Omnipotent / int_952e4e06 | comment |
Utility Magic: The main purpose of spells isn't anything flashy or dangerous, like throwing fireballs at monsters' faces or at enemy soldiers; it's mainly used to create potions for healing wounds, treating injuries as a result of usual labor, or treating skin conditions like eyebags or acne. For other examples: Sei badgers Jude into using his Water generation spell to get her a tub of cool water to soak her feet in. On a more professional note, Jude also uses this to conveniently get clean water to make quality potions. Capt. Hawke uses his rare, valuable Ice powers to make ice cubes to chill Sei's drink. | |

One Degree of Separation: Unsurprisingly for a feudal society heavily relying on hereditary succession and giving said successors numerous advantages for the meritocratic aspects of Salutania, many of the people Sei interact with are connected in some way. For example, Prince Kyle Salutania is Elizabeth Ashley's fiance. And the Deputy Magus of the Court Mages is Erhart Hawke, Captain Albert Hawke's older brother. | |

Interclass Friendship: Lady Elizabeth (or later, "Liz") and Sei share an incredibly close friendship despite the former being a very high-ranked noble daughter and the latter being a commoner and newly-minted researcher, her friendships with the director of the institute and the commander of Third Order of Knights notwithstanding. From the start, Liz has shown nothing but respect and genuine interest in Sei's work in potion research, and eventually, the two grow so close as to refer to each other by their first names without honorifics along with confiding gossip and serious issues with each other. | |

Dramatic Irony | |
The Saint's Magic Power Is Omnipotent / int_ab5eea65 | comment |
Appraise is a magic spell that tells you the exact stats and details of an object or at much more powerful levels, people. As the latter could be used without the target's consent, only highly-trusted individuals are taught this to prevent leakage of secrets like what a king's weaknesses are. If the user is of a lower level, however, the spell fails altogether, with or without consent. A huge part of Dramatic Irony is how Sei is impossible to examine by anyone but herself, leaving people in the dark about her capabilities. | |

Shrouded in Myth: The Saints of Salutania have very, very little known about them, except that they can help slay monsters and purify the miasma that creates them and poisons everything else. Who they were, what their lives were, what other capabilities they had were kept secret, as the past Kings and their courts decided that detailed information on the Saint's incredible powers would quickly make them easy targets for assassinations or kidnappings by those who wished to use their power or deny it to Salutania. | |

Lighter and Softer | |
The Saint's Magic Power Is Omnipotent / int_ce6555f0 | comment |
Lighter and Softer: Probably due to budget restrictions and TV regulations, the anime adaptation tones down a lot of the gore and the ugly details. For example, in Episode 1 of the anime, Sei stumbles onto the Third Knight Order who've been badly mangled and injured by a Salamander, a fire-breathing, high-ranking monster. The original text describes deep scratch wounds, serious burns, and so much blood that Sei believes a young girl like Aira might lose her mind seeing so much gore and suffering. It's especially egregious with Captain Hawke, who has half of his upper body charred black and Sei wondering how in the world he's still alive. In the anime, they're all just covered in scratches, blood, and bandages, but nothing too grievous or disturbing; Hawke still looks badly bloodied and battered but without a scorch-mark to be seen. | |

Expository Pronoun: Used to deliver characterization of Sei and Aira’s relationship. When Sei prepares a Japanese-style meal, Aira addresses her as “Sei-san�, who in turn calls her “Aira-chan�. This indicates several things — that Sei considers Aira a friend, that Aira considers Sei a social senior, and because neither of them use those terms with the natives (who wouldn’t understand them anyway), that the two women trying to hold onto their shared cultural identity. | |

RPG Mechanics 'Verse | |
The Saint's Magic Power Is Omnipotent / int_d813c00a | comment |
RPG Mechanics 'Verse: Downplayed in the anime but the power and skill of a person, a spell, and items are measured in "levels". "Basic Levels" are a person's overall strength without accounting for specialized skills like Holy Magic or Potion Making. A random citizen is between 1-5; graduates from the Royal Academy for hunting monsters and studying magic are 15; professional hunters and soldiers vary greatly in the 20's; and heads of state, division directors, and knight commanders are in the 30's. Sei is 55. Appraise is a magic spell that tells you the exact stats and details of an object or at much more powerful levels, people. As the latter could be used without the target's consent, only highly-trusted individuals are taught this to prevent leakage of secrets like what a king's weaknesses are. If the user is of a lower level, however, the spell fails altogether, with or without consent. A huge part of Dramatic Irony is how Sei is impossible to examine by anyone but herself, leaving people in the dark about her capabilities. Magic Gems can be enchanted to provide useful buffs to armor and equipment. Holy Magic specializes in defensive traits, with Reduction at base to Nullification, starting at rank 5. The worse the thing you're resisting against, like Salamander's fire-breath, the more magic plus raw skill is required. The quality of the materials must also be carefully considered, as too weak, the medium shatters from the stress, too strong, the caster will fail to infuse it with their magic. | |

You Can't Go Home Again | |
The Saint's Magic Power Is Omnipotent / int_da12bcfb | comment |
You Can't Go Home Again: The Saint Summoning Ritual is strictly one-way. Even saving Salutania won't allow Aira or Sei to return to Japan. Realizing how devastating this is to Aira is part of why Prince Kyle is so obsessed with the idea that Aira must be the true Saint. If she's not, that means he ruined her life for no reason. | |

Memento MacGuffin: Albert gives Sei a hair accessory that she wanted during their outing, with a gem inbued with his magic powers. When Sei is asked to help the Third Knight Order on a mission in the Western Forest, the accessory's magic activates when Sei is ambushed by a monster, summoning a giant ice wall with Albert's ice magic. | |

The Saint's Magic Power Is Omnipotent / int_ee19d278 | comment |
Blob Monster: Sei encounters slimes in the Klausner domain. While she immediately thinks of the basic monsters from RPGs, they are in fact quite dangerous since their secretions can dissolve nearly anything and physical attacks are useless against them. A large enough infestation can devastate a forest and Sei had to use her saintly powers to revitalize the area after purging the miasma swamp. | |

Medieval European Fantasy: Salutania is this, full-stop, from the architecture, the more realistic hair colors and physical traits, and much of its traditions and customs, such as knighthood, the titles of their monarchs and the line of succession, and how women are treated. | |
