The first drawback is that changing the shape of this conical body requires a deeper understanding of the essence of the Spell's formation.
Only by understanding why the Spell forms a conical body can its shape be changed.
Clearly, Fang Yun's current understanding of this Spell has not reached that realm.
He can only see if it's possible after achieving Perfect.
The problem with the Spell's condensation time is also an innate setting of the Spell itself; changing it would also require Fang Yun to have a deeper understanding of the Gold Qi Skill.
After all, condensing the Mana of the Gold Attribute into a cone still requires the guidance of the Gold Qi Skill.
Even though Fang Yun controls the Mana itself, at most he can only speed up the process but cannot autonomously decide the speed of the Spell's condensation.
The first two drawbacks are both due to issues with Spell control.
The last drawback is due to Fang Yun's insufficient Spirit power.
