Xiao Honglv frowned and said, "The incantation is too long. Unless the enemy is very weak, they'll have already escaped by the time we finish chanting."
Zheng Zha also found it troublesome. "If that's the case, I might as well just use close combat. The time it takes to chant an incantation like this is enough for me to throw hundreds of punches."
Wen Lie explained, "This is likely a limitation of grimoires. These spells are essentially applications of energy. Once you master spellcasting, you can manipulate energy to accelerate the casting process. DND, FATE, and many other magical works feature techniques for shortening incantations."
