When Shang saw that his opponent had a Fire Affinity, he knew that he had a chance.
'If they decide to heat up their surroundings, I can release far more Fire Blasts without injuring my body!'
SHING!
Shang's opponent appeared, and he looked over.
It was a young man with short, fiery-red hair. He wore simple red robes, but for some reason, the robes didn't feel as simple as they appeared.
However, when Shang looked beside the Mage, his eye narrowed.
'His Focus has two Amplifiers.'
Beside the Mage hovered a Focus with two circlets rotating around it.
Shang had never fought a Mage that had a Focus with two Amplifiers.
The Amplifiers decided the cast speed of a Focus. Higher leveled Spells needed more complex chants. Of course, as the Mages got more powerful, their mastery over their Mana and Affinity allowed them to cast faster as well.
