Wizard Lorenzo pointed at the dummy, "By the rules of the Union, Grandmaster Abel, you must perform a novice wizard spell within a time limit for you be granted an official wizard's badge."
Abel didn't know a lot of novice wizard spells. To be more specific, he didn't know a lot of attack spells. For fire, he could use the "inferno flame." For lightning, he could cast a "static field." For ice, he could cast "the newborn star of frost" and "ice bolt."
Now that he had the leaf's rune magic staff, he tended to use the "inferno flame," which was a close-range spell, a lot less. Because of that, he had been using the other three spells a lot more. "Ice bolt," especially. His current level of ice bolt was at four.
