The rules however never specify that the time between eldritch blasts is longer than an instant, it is purely your opinion that it is so. We know that an instant in D&D is not defined as "an imperceptibly short amount of time" because several instantaneous spells, such as fireball, describe the spell effect perceptively moving, so an "instant" can't be infinitely short.Since an instant has been shown to necessarily be a length of time, declaring it to be shorter than the time to cast and use a multi-beam eldritch blast is purely an arbitrary cutoff that is not supported by the text of the rules. On the contrary, is actively in conflict with the rules as written since it leads to the rule about instantaneous spells and dispelling appearing to be contradictory.</blockquote>
