To provide some background not explained in the anime, Izuchi is a moderately damaging but yet non-lethal spell. Like I mentioned before, Ryner cannot be considered to be at his best unless he has intention to kill. And he has no intention to do so, that's why he keeps firing Izuchi. Kurenai is also mid-level but has AOE, and Misumi is weak but fastest to cast. Can't say anything beyond the fact that one of the posters above talking about Ryner is right, and for some reason, this thread seems to be unmoderated at all LOL. I've seen a few spoilerific posts over the past few weeks, and even reported one. But seems like nothing happened.

Maybe, but Luke does not fight straight-up battles. He simply will never put himself in such a situation.
