Reve concluded, 'It might be time for me to get a magical weapon.'
A good magical weapon has the ability to increase one's energy affinity. Furthermore, it sharpens the effect of the spells.
Also, depending on the structure of the weapon, it could refine the energy until it becomes purer and more destructive, enabling the holder to dish out basic "energy attacks" that were better than most intermediate spells.
"Energy attacks" are attack skills that involved a form of energy but don't need a magic medium, like a magic circle, to activate.
Back then, Reve had a few enemies who could shoot out flaming balls of energy from their hands without the use of magic. This innate talent was common with magical creatures.
Anyway, Reve had decided it was time he become a true battlemage.
That was the style he was destined for. There was no use denying that. He was a battlemage at heart.
