Learn normal skills?

That's not a logical way of thinking.

The problem with Rewen is not his skills. His skills are strong enough for a Rank 1 Mage.

The problem is the skill casting time.

He always has to make preparations beforehand. If something doesn't go on his way, he can't suddenly change the outcome.

Then, he thought about learning normal skills but after a bit of research, he found out that skills aren't easy to learn for beginners. Oftentimes, when a beginner is learning his first skill, backlash is unavoidable. That's why it needs a supervisor. It also takes longer than a month to properly learn a skill for the first time.

Rewen wasn't narcissistic enough to think that he is a genius. 

His 'Daily Missions' are locked and there probably wouldn't be a quest issued for him to get stronger for the time being.

That leaves him with the last option.

Magic Artifacts.
