"Your Majesty, if I asked you to conjure hundreds of fire lances and manipulate every one of them at the same level as controlling just one, would you be able to do it?"
After Henrietta received such a question from Astoria, she immediately thought it nonsensical as it wouldn't be humanly possible.
Even her master, at the height of her power, couldn't do such a thing.
Conjuring hundreds or even thousands of fire lances was not a problem. But having perfect control over all of them simultaneously was an entirely different story. After all, the difficulty in control would grow exponentially with each additional fire lance.
Humans simply could not retain perfect control over numerous objects as they continued to divide their focus. The division of focus would weaken their control.
Nevertheless, Henrietta knew Astoria was serious about her question. As such, she had to give a serious answer.
