魔術師ペンリック/ Penric's Demon

The tone feels so balanced between lighthearted moments and serious conflicts. I'm curious whether this mix was planned from the start or developed organically during writing.

His internal struggle made me wonder how much of himself he's willing to sacrifice. What do others think about his choices and motivations?

The dynamic is so fresh and nuanced — I wonder if the author drew from myth or created something entirely new. How did that relationship evolve during writing?
