Although counter-spells are basically generic spells, they are considered a separate category. While some counter-spells, like Solvincula, are pre-defined, they may also be rituals, tailored specifically to certain effects or curses. | Although counter-spells are basically generic spells, they are considered a separate category.

==== Miscellaneous Techniques ==== | |||
Not considered an actual category, there are two "spells" that do not fall into any of the categories above, as they are always cast without an incantation. | |||
* Magic Throw (aka. simple cast) - a basic cast that can be unleashed by flicking one's focus without incantation. This creates a magic missile that, depending on its force, can knock things over or cause damage or harm. | |||
* Basic Block (aka. direct block, magic parry, basic deflection) - by using one's focus and improvising a protective barrier, directed spells can be blocked. One should also not try and block more powerful spells with this technique, especially if the opponent is stronger than oneself. Certain spells, such as Exarmo, cannot be blocked in this way. It is important that one should try and deflect a spell with this technique, rather than block it head-on. | |||
