Even though sister Li explained the reasons, Li Yao knew that not every Ice Mage could control their magic as skillfully as she could.
An Ice Mage could be a godlike profession if mastered, but without proper training, it could feel underpowered.
It was not only about the different roles. Even within a single profession, this could be the case.
A skilled Druid was almost invincible, but an untrained Druid was no more than a waste of space.
A skilled Druid would boast about how it was a do-all profession—it could sustain damage, heal, deal damage, move swiftly, and even act cute.
An untrained Druid, however, would complain about how it was a trash profession—they couldn't best a warrior in damage or endurance in bear form, a rogue in stealth or damage in cat form, a priest in healing in treant form and they're only a mediocre healer, an Owl Beast was inferior to a mage as it had a complicated damage-dealing mechanism, and it was too tiring and inferior to an average mage.
