Because they had to travel, it was inconvenient to conduct experiments, so Isaac read mostly theoretical magic books while also taking the opportunity to sort through his own combat capabilities.
Don't be fooled by how he had wiped out thousands of knights on the battlefield in an instant. It looked incredibly impressive.
But in truth, that had all relied on a ritual, with luck playing a major role. It would be difficult to replicate.
