纯器乐的演奏方式,容我重申,能产生神奇的效果,所以我们其实不能把器乐称为歌曲,这让我很困惑

His magic is directed at the metadivine realm, trying to tap into its powers. It's not directed at the gods. It's trying to tap into the ultimate source of power to use that power to influence the gods in a particular way or protect oneself against the gods.

这种法术的对象是超神领域，试图获得其中的神力,它不直接针对神，而是通过接近,神力的源头来获得力量，用特殊的方式影响众神,或保护某人不受到神的伤害。
