With every sentence Achill spoke, Bluenote's expression grew uglier, until his entire face was utterly grim!
Achill was right. Attribute Suppression Magic really did possess the absolute, godlike control over magic of the same attribute that he had described! Of course, that only applied if you could successfully cast it. As an extremely advanced spell, Attribute Suppression Magic was outrageously difficult to master, but its most infuriating feature was its damned level restriction. That restriction directly determined the spell's power, so if your level wasn't high enough, casting it was basically pointless.
Take a simple example. If you used fire magic, then, provided you were clever enough, you could cast fire attribute suppression against your enemies once you learned Attribute Suppression Magic! But that was where the problem arose. Its effect wasn't absolute, but relative, so its strength was directly tied to the level of your fire magic! The greater the gap between your fire magic and your opponent's, the stronger the suppression! Once that gap reached a certain point, even the godlike, complete control over an enemy's magic of the same attribute that Achill had described wasn't impossible—
By now, everyone could probably see its limitations, right? Exactly. If your opponent's magic of the same attribute was higher-level than yours, your Attribute Suppression Magic wouldn't merely have no effect—it would actually strengthen their magic! And that wasn't all. Its second flaw was that it was completely ineffective against other attributes, and your own magic would also become ineffective outside the spell's range! In other words, once you cast this magic circle, your own magic of the attribute used to cast Attribute Suppression Magic could only function within that area! Unless you dispelled it, attacking anything outside its range was absolutely impossible!
Take Achill, for instance. Since he was using
