Gestblinde: I totally disagree he would be executed by it. Considering the situation, it was each man for himself. And don't forget that Raeven is the most powerful noble in the Kingdom. No chance for charging him of treason. And the nobles are not obliged do save the king risking their lives. That's the job of the king's warrior band.

Malfado: So far, it was not said spells of the same tier are harder to learn than others, beyond the difficulty to research or find a particular spell. But the most basic spells fo the third tier for a mage are fireball, lightning bolt and fly. Given the amazing utility of Fly, any arcane spellcaster would get it if he(she) is not a moron. Considering that platinum ranked spellcasters are usually able to use 3rd rank, as an ex-orichalcum rank, the mage would probably be able to use it.

Septan: Mass Fly just allowed Ainz to affect the dwarves and his party in vol 11 to save the time of casting the spell multiple times. The mage would probably be able to cast it 5 or 6 times to save his group and Raeven. I don't know if he had the time for it, considering the speed of the Dark Youngs.

Personally, I think that the autor just didn't considered this option. After all, it's pretty easy to forget considering the possible spells that a side character (he was named, but was essencially a background char) could cast to save himself.
