Yeah, actually. She hasn't fully CAST the spell yet, just done the incantation TO cast it. So logically she could just commit the essence to another spell or ability, as long as it was one of her 0-turn spells or a charm that could be used reflexively. Plus... Total Annihilation makes a column of pure destruction that is over five miles high. At 1500mph, he is going at about 1 mile every 2.5 seconds. That means I would have to stall for about seven seconds (given he waiting until I was about half done with the incantation to eject) before detonating it to let him reach such a height. If Ysolda detonates the spell on her location (killing herself, of course) That would not allow Green's guy to escape the height of the blast.Just saying.However, it is more likely that I will simply redirect the essence flow into something entirely different. Think of Essence like Mana, really. As long as you haven't spent it, you can change what it is used for.And to be fair... this "Nuke" is a Zero-Charge attack. So...Lastly... Green himself has given me a way to survive the attack, though he may or may not realize it.

1. Not going straight up. Going to avoid the width of your blast.

2. No, you can not start prepping one attack and use it's preps for something else instead. Those kind of things have to be specific. 

3. That "nuke" is actually three nukes, and unless you've got a prepped shield to counter it, it doesn't matter if it's not prepped. It's still three nukes. 

Good luck trying to catch mah dude though.
