Chapter 79: Uh-oh — I've Been Found Out
The Spatial Warp consumed roughly as much magic as a single Disarming Charm. Manageable.
But Regulus felt a dull weariness radiating from the depths of his mind — a lingering aftereffect of the legacy knowledge not yet fully digested. Mental load ran higher than normal.
Progress existed, yet it wasn't enough. Practical combat application was still a long way off.
To send a spell through folded space required precise control of the warp trajectory and landing point — the smaller the error, the better — and it would certainly be harder than transporting an object.
To deploy a Shield Charm at range meant completing the warp instantaneously — ideally with zero time cost.
If battle required such techniques, a delay of even a millisecond could be fatal.
To attack a target's internal organs directly meant penetrating multiple layers of defense on the wizard's body: magical barrier, physical tissue, even soul-level protection.
Each of these demands called for countless hours of practice, deeper spatial comprehension, stronger magical control, and a tougher mind.
But he had patience. A visible road — just walk it.
