So I sort of vanished in the other rp following Darquesse's death due to life obligations and a T1 tournament that was being held here. I may bring Corban into this one now that I believe I could commit.
@Dazsos
If you want your argument to be seen without cluttering up the OOC, I can simply add her to pm's where she can read every argument previously made by us and decipher there. Its for that reason I took our disagreements to pm's, so that we wouldn't need to repeat ourselves, and id personally rather not rewrite everything I've already explained to you. For the sake of the argument I've prepared a small synopsis:
1. I have already said to you multiple times in pm's that Corban has no definitive list of spells.
2. I have already explained his magic to you as well, even going as far to give you short paragraphs of his skill in every other area of magic, and you still insist on your own personal, convenient definitions for my magic. The cryogenic liquid is not conjuration, it would count as evocation, a primary component of his class. Ice magic would also be well within his area of expertise. Ice is a type of crystal. It isnt 'conjuration', and it isn't illusion. So again stop assuming convenient things about my character for your argument.
3. About your liquid, youre still not understanding the physics behind the defense. It draws away kinetic energy. If something cannot amass any kinetic energy, it can't move, even if you exert force on it. Its a derivative of his kinetic barrier spell I mentioned in pm's. That's why your character can't simply control it anyway even though water is a specialty for him.
4. I already explained this to you in pm's as well, about the clones appearance. All of that would be possible without 'illusory' magic. He applied illusory principles in that he's fooling your characters visual senses, but not through magical tampering. It's through clever use of his other vocations, particularly transmutation and earth magic. I also explain he can only control the clone if its feet are on the ground, which is a fair trade. You keep trying to label me high-powered, and have been for some time, yet fail to see your characters own power threshold, while ignoring all of my concessions. My first spell couldnt even effect physical materials and was useless as a practical weapon, yet you still had an issue with it being able to stop your unprepped attack that could, by your definition disintegrate magic and physical objects with ease. my clone could only be controlled while on the ground. My original spell only applied to magic and magic-like forces. I let you just eat the rail gun attack as well with no complaints from my end. Your chatacter can eat a rail gunned diamond to the chest, he can fire disintegrative rays over 100 feet with no preps, and can conjure multiple defenses and summons within very short times of each other. A defense I might add, that is absolute and can't be destroyed by anything conceivable since it isn't energy, physical, or even metaphysical. Its a phase of space. I am not convinced you couldn't deal with Corban with everything currently at your disposal in terms of raw power. At every turn, you want more access to your high powered abilities, and I've granted them. You can control gravity, and teleport. And now you want more based on the small amount of perfectly reasonable things I've done?
Yeah, this will have to come down to judge intervention.
@Innue You are needed. I'll add you to our PM conversation so you can see our full, comprehensive arguments. I am on mobile so id rather not rewrite it all
Edit: Turns out I can't add others to Pm's. Not sure if there is any way around this. If required I can quote our messages from PM's and send them to @Innue so she can read the Director's Cut version of our arguments. If not, then id hope I've explained enough here for her.

Hey! I got a win in the Majesty tourney. Whenever you have the time to have my record reflect this that would be great.

I do have others, but they are at about the same level. I can just sit this one out and let someone else take up the gauntlet. Thanks for the interest, anyhow!

There was an audible pang as Corban's sigil-turbines fine point was repelled away from an invisible surface, an interaction that taught the earth-mage several vital key points of information. The barrier wasn't magical in nature. He would have seen it ages ago if it were, and his turbine would have chigirized it into dust. To boot, it seemed it wasn't wholly physical either. Beyond the fact that the halo of light would bypass physical objects no differently than a ghost, the repel wasn't like striking against a physical object, something Corban had grown very accustomed to. It was repelled in the manner that magnets or particles repelled one another; without ever needing to physically interact.
It seemed times had truly changed. People had sidestepped the conventional antimagic and magic setups entirely due to years of infighting, and appeared to have decided to use something entirely separate to leverage their weaknesses. Functionally, It was similar to his own Kinetic Barrier, yet lacked any of the conceivable drawbacks. Milky crimson eyes suddenly wizened with focus and realization upon divining the barriers nature, but by then it was too late.
In hindsight, Dazsos should have been worried. The diamond storm from earlier was not simply a show of power or lion chested boast, but a clever feint that hid Corban's actions -and himself- from sight. During the storm, Corban had receded under the earth, throwing up an earth clone in his place that could be remotely controlled through his affinity for the element. So long as his feet remained on the ground, Corban could sense and control it like an extension of himself without suffering any of the lag common amongst most remote controllers. It was as close to a perfect recreation as any human was capable of, down to the smudges of dirt on his robes. Even if Myron possessed preturnatural tracking abilities there was no guarantee he'd see through the feint, given Ishtalle worked marvelously as a metameterial!
Speaking of surprises, the clone had one of its own! As the great-lance was deflected, the force delivered back was enough to trigger the doppelgängers' spell-trigger. Its thoracic hydraulically bursted forward, releasing the source of the rapidly growing tundra about him; a metamagical hyper-cryogenic fluid that would explode outward in a wide 30 foot radius, taking all of the water that Myron thought appropriate to assault him with and freeze it into more of itself. In terms of explosions, instead of washing the land in scalding kinetic energy, it drew it all away. Everything caught within would be frozen in time, which very well could include his book! Lightning and fire could dent, but never melt the structure, as their bite was considerably lessened. The air just above the barrier was now crowned in half an igloo, shimmering prismatically like beautiful crystal.
Simultaneously, the real Corban would make his dazzling re-entry, but from where? The most logical, and only possible place; beneath Myron! The earth beneath him parted like sand and made an opening just large enough for Ishtalle's matte-black sheathe to pass through as it was shot with no small amount of force to strike Myron at point blank range in the solar plexis. Given laws of physics and the angle of the shot, unless Myron weighed over 300 lbs, even if he blocked he'd be sent skyward, with either his bones or the sheathe shattering and splintering. Ishtalle's refractive Damascus-like edge followed almost immediately after, both blade and master geared to shishkabob him through the back. Surrounded by carboniferous material, Corban was wrapped in a thin, but resistant shell of ceramic-coated diamond, ishtalle's blade sluicing through a blade-sized slit in the phalanx. From this angle, even if his book wasn't caught in the tundra, both his body and his barrier would be in the way. Even if he dropped his barrier, the air that had iced over was thin, but incredibly resilient, and also in the way. It would take a whole second or two too many to call the book back to his side or alter its positioning enough to have any real effect on Corban's actions.

Majority of the edits are simply grammar correction or alterations to flow. In my experience, even in ranked combat edits are allowed so long as it is before an opponent posts, or has a certain hour limit. But I will detail exact edits from now on.
