"It is true that with great power comes great responsibility, but as such, it is foolish to associate power with a title," Dawn replied. "For example, in our class alone, you've seen people of varying levels of skill ranging from being ahead of the class to a point where you could mistake them for 2nd years to those who struggled to imagine a padlock with the Conjuration spell. Besides, you'll never know if, instead of Divine Visionary, the most powerful wizard becomes a Dark Lord. And those who seek the title of Great Visionary here may fall under through their own greed and pride."
Using a hand motion, Dawn conjured a combo lock. "Furthermore, magic is limited in on itself. This combo lock may appear now, but once the magic within it runs out..." Dawn paused as the lock faded away in her hand. "It'll disappear. The same rules apply to us, only we're physical beings and thus wouldn't disappear once we run out of mana. And trust me, you'll never know when even someone such as a Divine Visionary will run out of mana. That's a real possibility I was taught by a Logon Druid when I was training my magical abilities with them. You can feel the feeling of having no magic to work with if your magic is sealed by a sealing spell. As such, before I was allowed to craft my own wand, the Logons had me cast spells with my bare hands and, later, train in straight-up hand-to-hand combat."

We see the scene flash to Dawn during her training with the Logons. In the flashback, Dawn was using her hands to spar with a Logon that had focus mitts (mitts with round pads used for training boxers, as shown here: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/c...lan_10.jpg
"I was confused at first, but the Druid told me it is important to defend myself should I ever find myself incapable of using magic. And so, with temporary seals on my magic, I sparred using my fists..."
We then see Dawn kicking at a Logon holding a padded shield for kicking. "My kicks..."
Then we see Dawn putting her arms up to block a fireball spell that a druid cast against her. "And my guard in order to make it through..."
"And before long..." Soon, we see Dawn facing a Logon Druid. The Druid fired off two fireballs. Dawn got in a battle stance. "Haaaaa!!!" Dawn batted one fireball away with the back of her right hand, then the other with the palm of her hand. The Logon Druid then cast a third fireball spell. Dawn, in response, smacked the fireball away with a punch. Then, the Logons clapped. "I was countering fireballs casted through magic with my own two hands."
We then cut to Dawn forming a wand with her own magic. "It was shortly after when I was allowed to craft my own wand: one that represented mother nature."

Then, we're back at the cafeteria. "A wand is but an extension of our own power, but there are some people who don't view it as such. Back in the Conjuration class, I knew the teacher was very restrictive, which I knew would stifle gifted people like a few of your classmates who practiced various other ways to use Levios. However, I did not want to put myself in a situation where I wouldn't have any other choice but to tell her to screw off. Had I been in such a situation, I would've been met with a leather sleepsack and muzzle and a trip to the headmaster's office as a result; a complete "Why are you booing me? I'm right" situation if you ask me. Instead, I just hung out in the back of the classroom. Nobody ever looks in the back; then again, it could be a simple case of nobody wanting to mess with me. There, I wordlessly casted the Levios and Optimar spells with my right hand. That is the reason why you never heard me anywhere in the classroom. When I was satisfied, I simply used a sigil familiar to me and warped back to my personal sanctum atop the roof of the building. It was when I jumped off and landed safely that you managed to finally notice my presence."
Dawn took another bite of lunch. "But on a different note." Dawn smiled. "The veggie lasagna they're dishing out tastes pretty good!"
