This isn't really correction, but more of a question:
In Volume 6, at 17% of part 1, Aoi says, "the temporal beings known as spirits."
Would it be better to use the word "ephemeral" instead of "temporal" in this context?
I believe this is a correction, Mr. Morgan. You are quite correct with the word choice in context.
Paraphrasing the context: From the discussion between Aoi and Langus the Elf, it looks to me like Aoi's initial idea of a spirit being a short lived copy of the caster would indeed be described as ephemeral. Several paragraphs later, Langus mentions that this is not the Elven understanding of spirits and that a befriended spirit can watch over a caster even when the caster is not conscious. So, from Langus' perspective, spirits would be temporal or at least something other than ephemeral. The discussion ends with Aoi accepting that her concept of spirits was incorrect and she will have to redo her research.
