Historical Details
Background
One of the well-known guidebooks, it was recommended by several scholars and royal magicians to any aspiring magicians and adventurers who wanted to master a few magic spells. Published after the Black Blast incident, the Guidance of Mana Control changed the views of Mana as well as the origins and connections of the Mana Landmark. This also earned Evas Tirrel several awards and the title of Knight of Magic and Mana.
History
During Evas's time, the knowledge of Mana was limited both to the public and the magical research community. Due to this, many believe that magic was nothing more than a con man trick and supernatural nonsense while some magicians are unable to unlock their magic's potential. Because of this, Evas started his research on Mana's origins where he discovered the existence of Mana Landmarks and its connections to Volo's life force, which he not only recorded his discoveries through his research papers but he also reassessed his previous views of Mana Control.
It wasn't until the Black Blast incident began to question how Mana was maintained and controlled after several of their apprentices who instigated the incident lost control of their magic and almost lost their lives to it. Royal magicians began to question their studies as well as the safety concerns of practicing magic. Upon witnessing this dilemma, Evas finalized what he learned from his 5-year research journey and compiled them into a book which he shared with his colleagues. With their permission, he eventually released it throughout the kingdom in hopes of shredding the old views of Mana and magic.
Public Reaction
When the book was first released to the public, there was mixed reaction due to their limited knowledge of Mana and magic at that time. However, as time passed, magicians and adventurers slowly praise the contents of the book for not only sharing accurate information about Mana, but it managed to help several apprentices to control their Mana without causing some chaos around them.
Legacy
Due to the number of magicians and adventurers giving the guidebook positive reviews, the kingdom of Lucidus took notice and awarded Evas several titles and knighthood along with the position of the head royal magician. He eventually mentored several more magicians who went on becoming royal magicians of their own right who eventually updated the guidebook with information that was recently discovered such as the Mana Potential levels and the Mana Landmarks.
The book itself was then sanctioned by the kingdom and allowed mass publishing for magic academies and public libraries with an abridged version of the book being sold through several bookstores around the country.

I like this. It's a really plausible and detailed backstory to what sounds like a vital book for every adventurer and magician. Great stuff!
Thanks! I know the world is from a game within a story, but I wanted to expand it like it's really another world from the main character's real world.
