In the next scene, we learn that the "wild yak" is a "hard nut to crack" , and that he has been using his magic to "swamp" his opponent. We learn that this is because the "core" of his magic is now "stage 4" , which means that he can now use his "attack as a stage 8 warrior" . We also learn that "swooping" is not a talent, but a "filthy rat."
