Chapter 25: Magic (4)
“C-Cool?!”
Charlotte stared at me with a face that clearly said she was thrilled.
That little glowing orb buzzed around in the air, hovering just within my field of vision.
Of course, seeing a magic circle appear right in front of you usually meant something bad was about to happen.
It was a warning. A sign that an attack was coming.
Which meant, in a fight, this kind of behavior could only ever be a massive weakness.
It’s no different from shouting the name of your technique while swinging a sword, or an assassin yelling “Die!” after sneaking up behind someone.
Romantic, maybe — but practically? Just dumb.
And that’s part of why Charlotte is so often avoided by players.
A mage with casting times that ranged from a few minutes to, in extreme cases, days?
No one would pick a character like that.
Plenty of players tried to figure her out. Look for hidden gimmicks.
