The language of nature is not meant to destroy things,
so the wizard who wish to use magic as weapon must recite much more complicated song.
That's why most of the wizards, except for those who lived magic for hundreds of year, prepare magic before the fight.
Look at him.
He's like a bard who has to write new songs on parchments for every single one of drunken crowd rushing in, in real time.
Therefore, it would be too harsh to blame his lack of ability.
Only blame his lack of preparedness.
