I never understood prepping. Either you have your character's abilities to require prepping as a means of bogging down their power level, or you simply don't prep and attack right off the bat.
I did that with Kei'taro once.
Didn't work out so well.
For them.

As me and
@Melonhead discussed prior to the end of LeeRoy vs Rilla, we have two different schools of thought on it, really. So we were hoping to get more opinions;
@Skallagrim has been using T1 longer than any of us, except maybe DJ, so he may have the 'correct' answer.
My opinion on it is that magic, wholesale, needs to be charged. Some abilities(Passive) fly under the radar. Melon's is that people whose primary means of attack is magic, shouldn't have too.
I've been using my method in virtually all my T1 fights, and have encountered no problems with it at all. On the other hand, prior to, and continuing with, my introduction to T1, non T1 fights have often delved into a magic slinging contest. Especially prior when anyone could just shoot magic out without a second thought.
I'm thinking we can either create our own version of it, and how it applies to magic, or find out the actual prepping stuff.
