Sometimes, a half-second difference can decide the outcome of a battle.
Many Third-level Wizard Apprentices require over a second of preparation to cast a One-Ring Spell, which greatly limits their combat effectiveness.
Especially when facing a Grand Knight, one second is enough for them to charge at you from a hundred meters away.
Without adequate defensive measures, a Third-level Wizard Apprentice might not even be able to defeat a Junior Grand Knight.
A Wizard Apprentice who can't cast Magic is completely incapable of striking fear into an enemy.
In fact, when Pei Ze cast an unmodified One-Ring Spell, he also needed about a second of preparation time.
It was just that he had Wuyu to keep his enemies occupied, giving him ample time to cast during a battle.
'But I can't get complacent over this. From now on, I have to modify all the Magic I frequently use in battle.'
Pei Ze thought to himself and silently intoned in his mind:
'Eye of Omniscience, check my current status.'
