Before they can be married the Joy-Giving girl is taken away by the Trouble-stone man. He engages in a verbal duel with the Great Echo and bests him. Great Echo gives Ibonia advice on how to pass a series of events that will confront him on his quest. Ibonia visits his parents and his mother spurs him to prove himself by successfully fighting a series of powerful human and animal adversaries. She later presents him with other wives to deter him from his quest, which he refuses. Ibonia displays his wit (intelligence) and physical prowess to overcome the challenges he faces and he dresses himself in an old man’s skin to get close to Stone Man and Joy-Giving girl until his unprecedented talent for playing the Valiha (a traditional bamboo tube zither) and Fanorona (a traditional strategy board game played with stones) gives him away.

Malagasy Valiha : Spirit Summoning Instrument 

Rank : B rank 

Max number # of targets : 10 people 

Range : 3~10 

Type : Magecraft / Barrier NP

'''Activation/Specifics - This NP is continously active as it passively summons (invisible) spirits that only he /other servants and his master can see. This invisible spirits serve as weapons to stealthily injure enemy servants or masters. Caster activates its true name ‘‘ Malagasy Valiha’’ showcase its true power. It basically creates a bounded field in which Ibonia can summon and control visible spirits who take material form through magic circles inside to attack his enemies. His NP acts also as a barrier effectively trapping himself and enemies.

Type : Anti-unit (Self) NP

'''This is a sublimation of Caster’s Intellect as an expert player of the Malagasy board game (Fanorona) and the representation of his mastery in strategy. This NP ‘binds’ an enemy servant inside an alternate space (similar to a bounded field or a Barrier NP) and create a spatial for combat. Also within this NP, Caster becomes near-invincible in terms of physical prowess. It also temporarily boosts Caster’s physical parameters to 2 (two) ranks higher than before - e.g. Ibonia’s endurance rank raises from D rank to B rank. And his agility increases from E rank C rank inside this NP. Finally, Caster’s magecraft spells get boosted as well from being D rank to B rank increasing his attack potency (destructive capacity) drastically. '''​​​​​​​
