  "abstract": "We give an explicit construction proving that the exact stabilizer rank of $m$ copies of the qubit face-center magic state is $O(2^{3m/8})$. Two symmetry-related fifteen-term identities combine into a twenty-four-term decomposition at twelve copies. The balanced structure of this decomposition yields a substitution that adds eight copies at a cost of eight terms per existing term. The resulting bound $γ_T \\leq 3/8$ improves the previously published exponent $\\log_2(3)/4$.",
