Situation Emerges In The East

August heaved a sigh of relief, and the tension that had gripped him during the battle with Great Sorcerer Zephyr finally began to ebb away. While he maintained a calm façade, his composed body language barely masked the internal turmoil he felt.

Each casting of these spells demanded a substantial amount of energy, and he was acutely aware that without optimization, his ability to sustain a prolonged battle would be severely compromised. The realization hit him hard: optimization of his spells, whether synthesized or not, was crucial to reducing the magic power costs associated with their casting.
