Now this incredible spell is considered "basic attack magic", that is taught to every aspiring mage along with the means of shielding against it. In fact, perhaps the only prominent mage who's defenseless against it is the demon himself, as he shortly - and briefly - finds out.[/spoiler]</blockquote>
