Heat waves rose into the air. Standing on the scorching sand, Loxi was filled with questions. She wanted to know how Sawyer had died. Her opponent clearly had not cast a spell. According to the intelligence on record, shouldn't the kind of "static net" released by a Law-Destroyer—also known as soul electrocution—only activate when a spell was cast?
In reality, Energy Interruption had a far broader activation range than Loxi had imagined. This was the difference between actual combat and intelligence reports. In principle, the "static net" created by Energy Interruption determined the degree of induction based on the caster's resonance with the elements.
Put simply, Energy Interruption was like a trap. The closer the interaction between a caster and the elements, the higher the chance of triggering it.
Could this be avoided? Yes. The older generation of casters had used their own auras, souls, and elemental power to construct elemental avatars and make them stand behind themselves.
Whenever they cast a spell, they would sharply increase the elemental avatar's activity. Like a lightning rod, it would draw the "static net" within several meters toward itself, allowing them to avoid soul electrocution while casting.
Whether through strength in numbers or any means necessary, the casters of the previous generation had won. Abilities such as elemental avatars were the product of their wisdom.
