Angel could sense the Inspector's helplessness and... blessings.
It seemed the Inspector, too, believed his fate was already set in stone.
Come to think of it, that made sense. In every wizard's understanding, a higher rank could absolutely crush those below it. Each level was a chasm that could not be crossed. For instance, disregarding all external factors, a second-level wizard could completely dominate a first-level wizard. A second-level wizard's spiritual force model was simply beyond comparison to a first-level wizard's, and the power of the magic vortex they could mobilize was several times greater as well.
