Imeng nodded, a faint smile tugging at the corner of his lips. "Exactly, my eager apprentice. The strength of your magic lies not in the number of spells you know, but in your understanding and control over the underlying principles."
Fein's gaze shifted to the training grounds, his mind buzzing with excitement. The realization filled him with a renewed sense of purpose and determination. He could see now why Imeng had emphasized the importance of laying a strong foundation before delving into more complex spells.
