Setesh had given this quite a bit of thought during his morning walk to the army training grounds. His magic was excellent for offense via its very nature and Setesh's natural energy pathways wired in a way that made his spells particularly dangerous and explosive. Indeed, this one particular ability made him particularly dangerous. His fire, as he realized while meditating one day, was not just any normal magical fire. Sensing deeply into it, Setesh saw the intense hatred fueling his abilities. It was making them stronger and fiercer. Even his simplest spells could cause serious harm to an average person. Setesh knew, that such power came at a price, but he did not know what it was, nor could he figure it out.
Morevoer, in terms of combat, Nasser enjoyed getting up close and personal with his enemies. This made him an extremely offensively specialized mage; a frightening enemy to battle, but also one that has many weaknesses. Setesh realized that most offensive-type mages were glass cannons, capable of inflicting incredible damage, but equally incapable of receiving it themselves. He already had innate extreme offensive abilities and so he needed two things: one, the ability to actually shape his much more powerful mana into spells and two, the ability to withstand damage and prolonged combat.
