It /is/ a nice pillar...She really likes that pillar heh
And not any mage, an arcmage. It's like going into the fight with a knife while having nukes in your back pocket lol. Though that is the point since she is training. I think she is obsessed with the pillar because it lets her train her muscles which was lacking due to the promise to her mother.Reminder again, that this girl is supposedly a sage, so yes, she's neerfing herself by only using muscle
