Yeah, still surprised he doesn't use them more.

I was pleasantly surprised to see that he combined a third tier spell (which he could use as an Ogre) with his own abilities to create a super strong defense barrier back in the sidestory where he fights Therese and her army/military unit.

He's gotta be able to use higher tiered spells than that, and I'm fairly certain he could use that spear nearly instantly as well. I do know that he's used demise magic with his arm and fired the demise spears from it like a crossbow before (iirc, unless that was a mistranslation...which is certainly possible). Forget where exactly that happened in the story, though.

That said, the spear is a first tier spell so I'm sure he can use it nearly instantly (if not instantly) now. Sure, his magic power isn't going to be anywhere near Sei's (maybe)...but considering he doesn't just learn abilities, but also gains STATS by eating monsters/creatures/humans/etc. (though he hasn't mentioned this outside of super early on when he mentions gaining stats/strength from eating a newbie monster but no abilities).

It's quite possible that his magic power and all the stats related to spells are actually HIGHER than Sei's as a result of this (coupled with the Gluttony title). However, her orbs and whatnot around her in her latest evolution definitely make her more adept at using magic in general, I'm sure.

I do know one of the main reasons he doesn't really bother with magic is because of All Creation (and the subset of abilities before he synthesizes this)...and the fact that it appears to avoid/sidestep at least some of the magic resistances of monsters that are resistant to it, etc.

Honestly though, I think the author just forgets that he HAS these spells when doing combat and stuff (as well as the ability to learn all schools of magic, heh). =x
