"A third-tier caster activates a dual-element resonance cycle within a limited-containment zone. The first-phase elemental burst triggers a reverse-polarity response. Explain why the rejection spike does not destabilize the outer channel seal."
She clicked her tongue.
"Alright," she muttered, more to herself than to him. "We're dealing with containment logic now. Phase interactions, dual-elemental systems..."
Astron, sitting across from her with his usual unreadable calm, glanced at the problem sheet. "The spike is offset by the caster's pre-loop binding before the second phase begins. The rejection doesn't destabilize the seal because it's absorbed into the oscillation buffer during the harmonics delay window."
Irina raised an eyebrow. "You memorized this already?"
