136 When Efficiency Hits its Limits, Change the Method

Academic dissection would reveal Harlek’s Incantation of Incineration as a lackluster spell for all the might it displayed. Its damage output was not that impressive for a fire spell (which was famed for their raw destruction), and the time it took to unleashed it completely was too long.

The biggest flaw however, was that the spell had a distinct sign to mark its arrival. Anyone with a modicum of vigilance could easily evade the spell just by catching the telltale sign before it was launched.

Its boon was the fact that it was a ranged spell and the range was very, very large, practically any place the sorcerer could locate using any of their senses. As such, using means such as psychic energy or remote-viewing, like how Baiyi had borrowed Cuckoo’s vision, would dramatically increase the range of the attack.
