Main Character's first method of using magic... other than Balley

Spoiler : I am thinking of having George learn about puppies, and make it so either a. Balley can turn into a puppy form or b. George makes a second living mana creature in the form of a puppy.

This dog is able to lick written/drawn magic circles to make them activate-able at George's will.

This idea is so that George can still use magic, while not being able to do it like others, so he still can have a school arc, because that's where I plan for him to meet his companion, who I have yet to think of who I want it to be. Their can still be a school arc because as I said in the magic chapter, a mage must understand magic circles to be able to actually cast the spell.

If people like this idea, I will have George learn about puppies from a visit to the zoo, and then the dog thing written above will happen, and the dog will lick a magic circle in a fantasy/history/magic book George is reading, and this will lead people to learn that he can create magic talismans with Balley/ Doggie (yes I've already named the dog)

The licking part, It's a dog doing the licking, so it would just take one lick per card, each card, when it gets useful would be the size of a yugioh/Pokemon card. Also the saliva is mana, so as long as the creatures have mana, which (if you read the magic page), as long as the dog exists, it will have mana.

I intend to update this fairly often as this will just hold my ideas so that you the viewers can tell me which ones you like and which you don't like!
