47 The Unfair World
"If they can do it in a day, just because they have good fire Affinity, why do the rest of us have to waste weeks learning them instead of spells we actually have an affinity for?" Christa Abilene complained.
"These spells are the very basics every witch should know after they leave the Academy for the real world. Every element has a strength and a weakness. If you can only use one element, then even the study trips into the wilderness would be too dangerous for you." Professor Miranda explained in a mildly annoyed voice.
