However, the difficulty was also plain to see.
This wasn't something that could be solved by simply becoming a Knight.
For a Wizard, becoming a Knight wasn't difficult at all—it was just a matter of a single Magic Potion. In fact, many Tier One Wizards and Arcanists would drink a Magic Potion to enhance their physical bodies, simply to gain the stamina to work for days and nights on end.
But!
One couldn't become a Knight just by chugging a potion. The powerful will forged in combat and training was the core of a Knight's entire life. Without that iron will, it was impossible to master the Furnace Skill.
Of course, this wasn't to say that Wizards lacked powerful wills—their focus was just different.
As a quintessential Wizard, Philo certainly didn't meet the requirements. Furthermore, she didn't have a second Magic Pet to absorb the knightly Faith for her.
