The weight of the decision pressed down on him, a weight he hadn't felt in so long.
Emir had assumed himself to be used to such life-altering decisions, but apparently not.
Each ability had its strengths and weaknesses, but none seemed to fit perfectly into the path he was trying to forge.
There had to be something more balanced, something that wouldn't just give him an edge in one or a few specific scenarios but would be versatile enough to adapt to various challenges.
He went through many abilities, their power undeniable, but they lacked the finesse and control he sought.
They didn't align with his vision for the future. Too direct, too straightforward.
AOE abilities were the same, like Falling Threads, which had caught his attention earlier, and for good reason.
Such wide-area attacks would be devastating in large-scale battles, but he had to admit that it would overlap too much with his Gates of Eternity.
