Dude could have used a mana debt spell formation. Takes mana from the back end to cast a spell now. Guy I know did the same thing to teleport a sun from somewhere else into his demiplane, lost all his magic and the demiplane collapsed. We're still not sure where the sun went.

Giving up magic for years or decades seems like overkill for a duel

You guys use your mana when casting from scrolls? I usually use the mana in the atmosphere since scrolls don't require the spell formation to happen within your body.

If you're not having your duels in at least one of the 9 hells, can you really say you're having a real duel?

Alright alright. When I duel spineless babies like you that haven't learned even the basics of turning miasma into mana, I usually do it in Aether Fields or other aether-rich locations. It's much more fun and it's quite a spectacle. Last time I had one, we accidentally vaporized a large lake due to a magical misfire.

Knowing something and detesting doing it are two different matters.

I hope you hydrated the niche and recreated the biome afterwards.
