The fact that vetex basically requires every powerful character to have magic is honestly kind of arbitrary and stupid. And what eccentuates that fact more so is that vetex himself says you can’t learn magic unless you were born with it. So your choices if you don’t have magic are either abandon being a fighter entirely or find an exceedingly rare item like a spirit weapon or sea curse, both of which are in limited supply. If vetex refused to let magic not be on top but also let people learn magic if they weren’t born with it it would be fine, but the idea that your entire success in the au is determined by luck is honestly really boring and dumb, it’s probably the biggest critique I have with the story.

Spirit weapons are useless unless you’re born with spirit energy
The spirit energy threshold for using spirit weapons probably isn’t as high as the threshold for using magic circles I’d assume.
That makes the problem worse!
The problem is vetex rarely answers these kinds of questions so we’ll never know
fear
There are methods to raise your spirit energy, but I kinda hate how magic is just superior. Wish someone would become one of the strongest with nothing but These Hands

Vetex please remove the life feature where people are born with rich parents and get inheritances it’s really boring and luck based meta

Just like in sports, genetics play a huge part in your success
literally ATLA 
Ok but in sports you could still practice and become at least professional regardless of genetics unless you have some form of disease.
Enlarge your spirit energy with this simple method!

I personally would’ve preferred if vetex went the nen route where each path comes with its strengths and flaws

Didnt vetex specifically say you can’t?
i generally just dislike power systems that require you to be born with it, individual powers are fine, but having your entire power system be built upon being born from parents with high spirit energy is lame
every time an anime has a character thats power came from just working hard and getting super jacked instead of having (insert main power system here) theyre the coolest character in that show, argos is literally the only character in the story who isnt a fraud and hes nerfed by old age
especially when the ao protag is already a nepo baby blessed by poseidon and zeus, i know aa had a similar idea with the protag being magically supercharged from dead revival but that was at least more interesting

Yeah but that just gave them an advantage, with magic you are permanently more powerful than non magic counterparts.
Her 60-damage ass doesn’t deserve the slightest bit of respect

enizor literally gets magic after being born without it after many years (hes an old man), it says you can in the lore doc
