This was a conundrum, a dilemma I couldn't solve, so after hours of many indecisive actions, I finally chose three spells that would serve me better. My abilities with soul energy were very good as far as battles were concerned, but it was not exactly tailored for battles, especially when you consider my weaving abilities. Soul energy was an augmentative energy.
It's true purposes lay not in battling, but in exploring the intricacies of nature, it's rules, regulations, and then smashing those regulations to bits and pieces. Soul energy was not all about the physical, in fact it never was. I was just the fool who chose to brute force my way through everything, and using an energy as flexible and soft as soul energy to do so, makes me feel like a complete idiot.
