Of course, while the external appearance is the same, the internal mechanism might not be identical. His left hand may indeed be cursed... Richard continued to ponder.
However, no matter how you see it, having a hand that cannot be fully controlled during a battle will introduce significant variables, which is a disadvantage for a wizard's combat effectiveness.
The Silent Forest mission has already failed three times, and the Hall Orcs Branch should be well aware of how dangerous the Silent Forest truly is. Under this premise, having someone with significant drawbacks like Heluo come forth likely means Heluo is not just a simple third-level wizard as she introduced herself previously.
She might have quite a substantial ace up her sleeve.
Richard pursed his lips, mindful in his heart.
