Not wanting to let his embarrassment show, Eldrian asked, "Well, shall we continue on? I didn't kill all the undead, you know?"
His attack had been flashy, incredibly so. It had also halved the number of the undead, but Eldrian hadn't been able to actually kill them all.
The Cage ability was strong, but it wasn't the most powerful AOE ability he could call upon. Tempest Chase, Crystoi's AOE ability, was better for sheer area slaying. After all, it was a movable tornado with a massive inherent area of effect.
Incinerate might also have been better, in fact, with all Eldrian's training, it might have been far better to use it. However, there were risks to tapping into lifeforce spells. As Eldrian had learned over the past months.
Still, in terms of mana efficiency, Cage was unbeatable. Each beam costs only 250MP to summon and 250MP to jump. And each jump also recharged the energy in the attack.
