Chapter 497: Jadka's Beach_2

But the reality was that the old man had painstakingly studied magic for many years, and the only result was that he had increased his low-level spell casting success rate from the mere 1% he had during his late teens to about 60% for the Low Rank Fire Element School spells. As for basic elements like wind, water, and earth—even for low-level spells—Jadka Diesel's success rate never exceeded 50%.

In other words, if you discount the explosive damage from his magic wand and his combat strength when forced to resort to fisticuffs, Jadka Diesel's abilities amounted to, at most, a magician's apprentice, and even then, only a novice who had just started a couple of months ago.
