[Unoriginal]

I don't think Dorukan was dumb or that he was enraged and thus blundered into attacking (he seemed relatively calm and collected to me, despite his anger). He simply took a calculated risk and lost, but the idea that it might be his only chance to save Lirian had merit

Well by Epic Wizard standards, going in a fight you're not prepared for against a powerful opponent who did prepare for that is a tactical blunder.

It is true that "I only got this one chance" was not a baseless assumption at all.

I mean let’s be real, most people still kinda understand why Dorukan lost his chill.

Absolutely.

In any case I think it's telling that even with Dorukan having no prep time, the fight was still fairly even.

Dorukan was competent, and all we see or hear about him show he spent his whole life protecting the world to the best of his capacities.

Thankfully no wizards have gotten drunk enough to try that yet...

I think that's how we got fries with ketchup.
