Heroes of The Sky – Chapter 1087

“Of course, I’m not asking you all to only specialize in one type of spell your entire lives. For example, I’ve trained in the fire element Lesser Fireball so that I can use it for self-defense and also deal effective damage to others.” Melgor explained, “Although control spells are my main focus, normal sorcerers are usually just like me in that they practice one primary and one secondary type of spell. One is used for support and the other is for dealing damage.”

“Then why didn’t you focus on the fire spells instead? Isn’t it worth more to train hard in the more lethal spells?” Milo asked curiously.

Melgor said with a bitter smile, “Because many of the advanced fire spells are extremely unstable, I need to have the meditative visualizations to complement the training. As I’m only a fringe sorcerer, no one’s willing to teach me the meditative visualizations for advanced fire spells.”

Milo immediately understood. He had read about it in the Introduction to Sorcery. The combination of reciting incantations and meditative visualizations was to stabilize the alchemical elements.

In other words, the magus order actually controlled a lot of meditative visualization diagrams used for casting high-level spells to hinder the advancement of fringe sorcerers, and this was how the internal hierarchy of the order was divided.
