Clues to the Abyss

Chris was tired after a long fight with the monsters that sprang up onto him. He burned almost all of his mana and stamina to survive the fights. That has been the scenario since he arrived at Styral Falls.

Though his mana and INT are high, his body stamina isn't. Using magic not only takes a toll on the mind but also on the body. So even the mages should have enough STA or else they would go through a period of weakness if they use spells that their body can't sustain.

This is something not easy though, because a Mage's main attribute is INT, and in addition to that Mana is very important. So they spend most of their time on improving them as otherwise would turn them into physical warriors.

This creates a weakness for the mages. At close combats, they are very vulnerable, especially to Assassin class holders. In order to overcome those weaknesses, Chris decided to improve his physical attributes as well.
