    Ultimately, magic relies on the manipulation of the Five Elements. Furthermore, it's based on a temporary manipulation of the Five Elements at a specific time and place, maintaining a relative balance. Once this relative balance is broken, the temporary manipulation inevitably spirals out of control. With the Five Elements manipulated uncontrollably, the foundation of the magic collapses instantly, and its effects cease to exist.
