"What's the matter?" Peniel asked after seeing him pouting.
"It took me around six seconds to form that rune. By the time I could cast the spell, my opponent would have hit me. Not to mention I need to concentrate in order to form the symbol. How am I to cast the spell during intense combat?"
Peniel rolled her eyes at him, "That's why you need to practice! So you can shorten the time you need to cast the spell and be able to maintain concentration for casting the spell under any circumstances."
"But, won't this make a magic-user class completely inferior to a melee class? My Warrior's advanced skills can still be triggered in an instant."
"That is your shallow thinking," Peniel replied. "Magic spells have firepower and effects that far outstrips most melee skills. Not to mention they could be cast from a distance. If both classes can equally discharge their skills in the same instant, melee classes won't stand a chance at all against the magical classes."
