What kind of magic do you like?

Yes, a good pace is certainly welcome... But again, if we're talking about a well-developed hero, they can, for example, use Charm or Diplomacy, or at least something similar.

Of course, if it doesn't work out quickly, why not just play for your own enjoyment and take your time... at the same time, your enemy will grow stronger...

And I always enjoy playing for a longer time. And it's not a waste of time, but a pleasure. To develop a strong character from a weak one, that's where the fun is. I'm glad
