Violet Cores (Part 2)
Kwart weaved 15 spells with his hands, another 15 with his voice, and everything else with his mind.
The contenders had infused their spells with willpower so that they could use them as both attacks and shields. A single drop of blood was all that it took to lose the competition, making defense of paramount importance.
Lith, instead, had managed to cast barely over 35 spells of which 10 from his mind, hands, and voice each while the rest came from body casting. He had 19 years of magical training, whereas Kwart had over 25 of them.
To make matters worse, Lith's time had always been spread thin between the many disciplines he practiced whereas during the last few months Kwart had devoted himself solely to this duel.
Unlike him, Lith had no training in using so many different kinds of casting methods at the same time. It required him a focus that kept him frozen in place like a scarecrow.
