*Splendid Light Ball* was much stronger in this regard, so it could be placed on the shortlist.
*Fiery Empowerment*, on the other hand, was outside Gauss's consideration. Even though he was a Caster who frequently used fire-type Spells—with *Fireball Technique* being one of his most utilized Spells, ranking just as high as *Magic Missile*, and often bringing out the 0th Ring *Flaming Arrow* and 1st Ring *Burning Hand*—he rarely encountered enemies with such extreme elemental specializations. Even Hephaestus, aside from its fire breath, still possessed a powerful physical body to be proud of. Casters generally didn't focus solely on a specific Elemental Magic either; they would at least diversify their skill sets. They did this out of fear of encountering targeted countermeasures or creatures immune to certain types of Magic.
