English Dub Review: Magic Maker: How to Make Magic in Another World “Lightning Ore and Boltt”

Overview

Shion and Marie’s relationship is mostly back to normal. Now, Grast has a problem that only Shion can solve.


Our Take

This time around, we get an episode that explores the fundamentals of magic, highlighting the differences in elemental control and the challenges of refining new techniques. Through research and experimentation, key discoveries were made that pushed the boundaries of what was previously understood. The introduction of specialized tools also played a role in advancing these abilities, creating new opportunities for growth.

Shion’s interactions with his family and friends added an emotional layer. But in the process, his bond with Marie grew stronger, though her feelings for him became more complicated. Meanwhile, the blacksmith’s arrival brought an amusing subplot involving a surplus of unsold thunder ore, forcing Shion to come up with a practical yet unexpected solution…

Overall, this episode delivered satisfying magic progression and showcased Shion’s growing mastery of his abilities. The advancements in magical technology open up exciting possibilities for the future, while lingering questions about the post credits scene of this episode left me hooked. With a mix of action, world-building, and fun character moments, at least it wasn’t boring…
