Missed potential for magic

While the world Solo alignment It is full of great strength and medial struggles, it can be forgiven that we forget that Mana is the primary source of every hunter's abilities because of how little magic is explored. While the universe Solo alignment It runs on magic, there are few new uses in a series of many new uses, except that one's physical statistics. Magic hunters are rarely visible how they do something other than throwing fiery balls, and most hunters we see use magic to change their physical bodies or improve their attacks.

Due to the potential impact of magic could have the world into the world Solo alignmentIt is a modern environment, it is disappointing that most magical uses in the series seem so simple. It would be interesting if the hunters were able to occupy more complicated spells, and if the series could explore how hunters, like healers, could significantly change society's dynamics.

The way in which the rules are Solo alignment The work seems that hunters after they wake up fall into strict class roles. Most hunters use their manu on skills that have more basic effects, such as increasing strength, speed or durability. The mage hunter class has greater versatility, but magic spells outside regular attacks are still limited.

Some mages have the ability to conjure up objects, but this is limited to several items at the same time. On the other hand, Sung Jinwoo with the help of the system can convene and store almost an endless number of items. Although it uses it on occasion, this ability is mostly uninvited in the series.

The rare several mages hunters are able to convene constructs or creation to help them in battle. However, it seems that it is also arbitrarily limited. Most hunters of this type we see can only maintain a few creatures at a time, limited by their mana.

There is also a class of hunters known as healers who use their mana to get injury to other hunters. Hunter B-ray Lee Johee has been shown to be strong enough to recover the deep wounds that Jinwoo suffered during an incident with a double dungeon. S-rank Hunter Min byung-Gyu could almost immediately regenerate the injury to the Cha Hae-in, which had it at the Death Door, which was even singing Jinwoo potions and Life Elixir could not replicate.

It seems that the limited mana of most human hunters will reduce them from doing something mad with their strengths, but the show seems to easily include more types of magic magic effects in the world than what we see.

Jinwoo bored and reading — Solo equalizing animation partners

While the magical effects on society are indicated in anime, viewers really do not see how modern society has transformed.

“But the government is interested in much different use? Like a new source of energy. Yes … quite simply, ideal clean energy.” -Cocirman GO Gunhee

At the beginning of the series, the chairman of GO mentions the application of magic stones for technology and energy, but this is not really properly explored. Mostly magic is considered a source of energy for strong armor and equipment. The magicians and healers do not use their magic too much outside dungeons, although it is probably incredibly lucrative and useful for the modern industry.

For example, why do healers embark on dungeons when they could spend time by recovering happiness with their miraculous abilities? Could MAGES apply their elementary magic to the revolution of production techniques?

Unfortunately, the narrative is too much focused on the journey of Sung Jinwoo to gain power. This often lets building the world just set a bandage that exists in the background of Jinwoo fighting. It would be interesting to see how the Korean company changed the Korean company ten years after the hunters' awakening and the show to introduce more applications for Mana and magic spells. It seems that all great skills went to Jinwoo and little left to walk for other characters and even the world Solo alignment alone.
