"Vital Storm also resembles Meln's greatest weapon, Life Maelstrom. He thinks he's superior to me now that Dusk's crystal grants him many bloodline abilities, hence revealing that I can use Vital Storm will deal a huge blow to his ego." Lith said.
"The only advantage Meln has left over me is Doom Tide, but that's not something he can use without a proper plan. Unless he's one-on-one against a powerful enemy, he would kill his own troops.
"If you also consider that, if the enemy somehow avoids the blast, Night's tower and crystal become useless, you can understand why Meln doesn't rely on Doom Tide much. That was Dusk's trump card because he was a master of Spirit Magic and life force.
"Compared to him, Night's skill as a mage is a joke. She has come up with a few Spirit Spells of her own over the millennia, but she mostly relied on her Chosen and her raw power to win. Night is not a fighter, more like a torturer."
