Episode 136 – Core Principle Of Spell Breaking (2/2)

The spell pattern is like a sand castle No matter how ether But how can one form a sand castle without sand?

This is why the firstis to cause the spell to run out ofthethe h various means Forprocess, thus this method is only used as a last option”

Elaru explained carefully, as if she was aher utmost to teach her disciples in words they could easily understand She then paused briefly, giving each one of the oldthe core principle of spell breaking once again: “Every spell consists of a spell target, a weaved spell pattern, and the reality-altering phenomena If either of the three is removed from the equation, the spell will seize to exist

Thus, the second and the siet of the spell Unfortunately, most of the ti illusive things such space or the mind, iree, but Elaru, worried that the three would start talking some more drivel, continued her explanation immediately

“The third method aims to destroy the spell pattern However, the spell pattern, no ineer itself fro pheno as theit isn’t consumed) Thus, one needs to coeneration

This is done by attacking the whole spell pattern with a her density and size than the spell pattern itself

Unfortunately, the sheer amount of mana needed to accomplish this makes this method unusable for the majority of spells”

Elaru took a quick breath, before continuing

“The fourthphenomena To destroy the spell phenomena, another spell that causes destructive interference with the first spell is needed

When the reality-altering phenomena of two spells affect similar properties of reality, they will interfere with each other and struggle for control over reality If the difference in level between the two spells isn’t too high, both reality-altering effects would be daed due to the spell interference Even if one of the spells overpowers the other, allowing it to affect reality, the losing spell would still continue to struggle to regain its control over reality causing continuous dae, however, will not cause the spell to be broken because the solidified spell pattern, which is the source of the reality-altering effect, will constantly repair the da as it has enough mana to do so

The solidified spell pattern is the source of the spell phenoed the spell pheno as it is not completely destroyed, the spell pattern will be able to recreate the reality-altering effect

That’s e need to co it a chance to regenerate And for the overpowered reality-altering effect to get coh to just overpower it Rather, the difference in level between the trestling spells needs to be so enorrettably, this h-level spells, because we are unable to produce an interfering spell that is her in level The required difference in spell level can only be achieved if a ainst soic or if one of the opposing spells is a high-level enchanto

After all, when ical artifact, they have a lot of time to perfect their spell so the spell levels of enchanther than spell levels of spells cast on the go”

The trio of oldtheir heads enthusiastically as if they were clucklings pecking rice, this ti to interrupt

“Since the first , while the latter three enerally use the fifth e the self-recovery function of the spell, followed by causing enough dae to the spell pattern to destabilize the spell

The reason why spells are so resilient and able to recover themselves lies in the connection between the solidified spell pattern and the reality-altering phenomena Each one of the two is able to recreate the other if daed To prevent this cyclic self-recovery, spell breakers need to sever the connection between the spell pattern and the reality-altering effect This is done by finding the touching points (aka critical points) between the two and destroying theh, if one does succeed in destroying the critical points, not only does it stop the self-recovery of the spell but it also causes the entire spell to destabilize and fall apart

Spell breakers are still arguing whether severing the connection between the spell phenomena and the spell pattern is the cause of spell destabilization, or if the touching points between the two are just located in areas critical to the functioning of the spell”

Elaru paused, giving a mischievous smirk to the three old men “Personally, I believe the for silence

And then…

“That is exactly right!” Eyebrows bellowed excitedly “How could the location of the critical points be mere coincidence!”

Mustache slalared at Eyebrows “Stop spouting drivel! Spells have been si that is left of the of the spell, so how can the critical points possibly not be located in non-critical areas?!”

Beards sighed groggily “Not again… can’t you two agree to disagree? Isn’t it the same either way?”

“Shut up!” – “How can it be the same?!”

Much to Elaru’s horror, what folloas an aniument between the trio of old et that they were in the middle of an exam

Elaru was forced to stare at the eyebrow Sht What have I done…?!
