212 Preparations are over

'I guess if I need to invoke that Mage's Tower again, I will need to use quite a lot of resources,' I thought, trying to take proper stock of the situation. 

Between all my tools, improved abilities, and the newly discovered ones, I couldn't really figure out a concept that would involve them all. 

'Should I just ditch the spear and focus on being purely a mage?' I thought, trying to limit the number of things that I had to think off at once. 

But that didn't appear as a valid concept. 

The second I would ignore the close quarters and focus on control instead, I would fall into the trap of being completely useless without a proper range. 

Sure, my mage's tower and all sorts of formation would help me in such situations... But I was still reluctant to make this step. 

After all, all my class abilities were given to me. They weren't a fruit of my hard efforts that developed in my ability to use them.
