Lugh Puns

TLDR: Lugh's maximum mana capacity by the age of 14 is enough to blow up a planet like Earth with ease.

Someone pointed out that I got the recovery rate wrong and so I updated it. In other words, at the age of 7, it would take Lugh 30 days to recover the maximum mana capacity of 1000 average mana users.

Okay, maybe not lied to, but definitely led astray.

This is post is spoiler free, but I can't promise that in the comment's section below. So, please use the spoiler tags. If you don't know how to, a quick Google search should help.

There are a few problems with the overly simplistic way that the author calculates how maximum mana capacity (MMC for short) is increased and how there is a lack of clarity in some areas. In other words, it runs into some serious issues in validity once you take a proper deep dive into it.

I first got into this topic after seeing Lugh state that he started training his MMC from the age of 2 and when he is 7 when being tested by Dia, reminds himself that he has a mana capacity of 1000. He then keeps repeating that same number in regards to his MMC when he is 12 and 14. He also figured out that he would be able to increase his MMC by 330% each year. None of which make any sense, even if you were to dumb down the math. Let me show you why by using the author's math model:

Age 2 - 1 x 330% = 3.3 MMC.

Age 3 - 3.3 x 330% = 10.89 MMC.

Age 4 - 10.89 x 330% = 35.937 MMC.

Age 5 - 35.937 x 330% = 118.5921 MMC.

Age 6 - 118.5921 x 330% = 391.35393 MMC.

Age 7 - 391.35393 x 330% = 1,291.467969 MMC.

Lugh is far beyond 1,000 MMC by the age of 7. I originally calculated this incorrectly, but this maybe Dia came and taught Lugh when he was maybe 7 and a half years old? Still it makes no sense for it to stay at around 1,000 once he is 14 years old.

Age 14 - 5,504,035 MMC. (Rounded down.)

Let's try another method and say, even if it was just 330% of his base number from the age of 2. It still wouldn't make any sense. Let me show you why:

Age 2 - 1 x 330% = 3.3 MMC.

Age 3 - 3.3 + 3.3 = 6.6 MMC.

Age 4 - 6.6 + 3.3 = 9.9 MMC.

Age 5 - 9.9 + 3.3 = 13.2 MMC.

Age 6 - 13.2 + 3.3 = 16.5 MMC.

Age 7 - 16.5 + 3.3 = 19.8 MMC.

It makes no sense, because by this calculation, his progress would be far too slow.

However, let's go even deeper if you're willing to go down this rabbit hole.

Reminder: As somewhat in depth this is, this is all just for fun.

First off I want to mention I'm not used to working with deities (if that's the proper phrase) but for the past week I've had this feeling in the back of my head that I should make an altar to Lugh. So far I have two harvest colored candles,a railroad track anvil,a clay pot I made,a horse shoe I got from a farrier,and some rebar I had for a project. What would be a good offering and how do I go about offering it? I'm having a rough time finding anything on what to offer or how to present my altar for Lugh (I'm very new to all this in general and don't know where to start)

Can someone explain why Dia is his next target?? Also what is he gunna do? Doesn’t he love her? Maybe leave his family? If you know let me know, I don’t care about spoilers or anything

We all know how Lugh's orbital strikes are basically mini-nukes that he can create fairly easily, they only take a good abt 10 minutes of prep time. But couldn't Lugh theoretically one-shot the world, or at least devastate the world's crust, or just one-shot anyone. If he just sent a massive ball of metal into space, and then sent it back to earth while reinforcing it with magic. Or if he sent dozens of his rods into space, then back down all at once, or at one sole target, to insta-kill them. If 1 rod was all it took to incapacitate and basically vaporize Setanta, someone strong enough to be thought of as the hero before. Then what do you think 50 rods could do, or 100, or 200? Or what do you think would happen if he made that rod 100 times bigger. Sure It'd be quite taxing on his mana reserves, but it'd get the job done. Even the hero herself could likely get killed by Lugh fairly easily if he so wished if he lost his morals. Considering he could likely auto-vaporize a continent's worth of land with a large projectile from space, even she couldn't survive something like that. Lugh could literally re-create the dinosaur extinction event if he wanted to, but this time it'd be on his new world. This new ability of his is incredibly broken ngl.

We all know how Lugh while using his earth magic, can essentially summon any object, made of any material. If he of course has knowledge of the element he wishes the object to be composed of, and what the object is. It's essentially in a technical manner playing around with atoms to construct matter.

My question is, why doesn't Lugh EVER use his magic to create let's say... PLUTONIUM, atomic element 94. OR any other radioactive element for that matter. I really doubt that people in the world he's in, have any way of defending themselves against radiation, that mind you can tear the very DNA from cells. Merely being exposed to a small chunk of potent uranium a short time for example could be fatal to ANYONE in the vicinity. Does Lugh merely never summon this kind of material because he thinks it's dangerous? Or is it just him forgetting what radioactive elements are for the sake of the plot. He could literally create a nuclear bomb out of thin air, and yet he doesn't. Why doesn't anyone think about this? And I doubt it would take much mana, considering that he can summon tons upon tons of material without breaking a sweat. Or even better yet, why doesn't he ever attempt to create isotopes?

As an anime-only (although I plan to read the books soon) I was wondering this during the last couple episodes. When Maha makes it clear that the dude she's investigating is likely the hero, and when Lugh's father tells him about the hero being officially found, it seemed as if they knew he'd find that information important. Is this maybe a detail the anime ignored or skipped over?

Is Dia Lugh's mother's sister, if so does that make her Lugh's aunt and Lugh as Dia's nephew

And also discover everything he did in his past life.

In the second episode as he's choosing his skills I don't remember the goddess saying he couldn't choose all S rank skills. And surely they are pretty impressive skills to have and to use in the future. But wouldn't there be more impressive skills, like the ones he chose, but in the S ranks???

I think I found the inspiration for our MC, here is a link to the Celtic god, Lugh of the Tuatha de danann. I found the parrelels quite interesting between them:
