It's often vital to switch styles when facing multiple enemies of different composition. It's easy to hack away at mortal opponents with say, the Legendary Strike hand-to-hand technique, or use the devastating Dire Flame magic attack to take out several at once.

One of the first followers you obtain in your quest is a woman by the name of Dawn Star. Her style of combat is very heavy on the magic, but is weak in hand at hand combat, which may or may not be a benefit in the future. But nonetheless it will be up to you to decide whom you will fight next to.
