Sapphire Countermagic

Cost: 15 motes or 20 motes
Target: Caster or one spell

This spell functions as Emerald Countermagic, save for the increased cost and the changes noted here. This spell has special timing rules. The character can shape Celestial Circle sorcery to cast this spell as two reflexive 0-tick actions.

This spell can shatter Second Circle as well as First Circle spells. The shattering of a Second Circle spell has more profound effects than the destruction of a First Circle spell—the random burns and magical effects may cause minor damage to others, although always less than that of directed First Circle magic.

Used to counter First Circle spells, this spell extinguishes them instantly and entirely. This functions like shattering the spell but causes no collateral damage.
