Isiah continued practicing for an extended period, thoroughly dissatisfied with his performance. Initially, he had interpreted the heightened intensity of the dark rain as evidence of genuine mastery, believing his endless discipline was finally yielding results. Yet as hours blurred, he was forced to acknowledge that he wasn't advancing toward his true objective.
He had operated under the assumption that achieving absolute control over his mind, body, and dark energy core would prove sufficient to master the invocation. However, after hundreds of failed attempts, he realized that while his internal variables were perfectly regulated, external environmental factors were actively sabotaging the spell's efficiency.
He had entirely overlooked the external atmosphere. The dark rain manifested through Nelrovin required ambient atmospheric condensation, and remaining positioned along the ocean shore directly contradicted the spellwork's underlying mechanics.
