Schtappe

A Schtappe (シュタープ Shutaapu) is a wand-like item that can be transformed into various objects, like weapons or shields, and used to cast spells. There are various levels of Schtappe which depends on the amount of mana you have when you acquire it and also the various attributes and blessings you have. Casting spells with the Schtappe is the most efficient way of casting spells or blessings except for using the divine instruments.

Nobles are recognised as nobles by society after acquiring a Schtappe and graduating from the Royal Academy. Each person can only acquire a schtappe once during their lifetime.

Acquiring the Schtappe
To acquire a Schtappe you need to be enrolled in the Royal Academy. It is part of the curriculum and is set for the first year after enrollment.

Students are required to walk alone towards the innermost part of the Royal Academy. Along the way each student will find their own Schtappe in form of a shining thing, presumably a stone. What they find is called the God's blessing. After acquiring God's blessing students have to pour their own mana into it. They are not allowed to interact physically with each other, as there is the possibility of dyeing one another's God's blessing.

After the process of dyeing is finished, the Schtappe is acquired.

Roth (ロート Rooto)
