That is not at all how prepping works on any community I've been in. Most preps require at least a turn to mature, and some kind of mention. Literally what you are saying is that mentioning anything at any time can count as a prep. If that is really how were doing it then it stands to reason that my disjunction is far more prepped than your attack, and could therefore stop it far more than what is present in my post, because Corban is recasting the exact same spell component. That's where the term 'preturnatural' comes in. If your book can at any time attain 'adamantine' rigidity and stop a prepped railgun attack, I see no reason my aerogel can't be enhanced. Im not saying the beam itself couldn't destroy the aerogel. Im saying that after losing a great deal of its energy I doubt it would lack the required energy to do much. Even if it did, it would not at all change the outcome because it would still diffuse more upon contact with the diamond barrier. Corban would not be wounded. Again, half a second is enough time for these two primary vocations to be utilized. With that, I close my arguments and await Innue's judgment if we will not continue. Edit: [@Innue]I'd say anywhere from 1/2-3/4 of a second. Edit: I thought that fights that had no preset rules agreed upon would default to Eden Era rules, since that is what I assumed we were abiding by. Would that not make Dazsos' preps null and void since no continuous mention was given, nor any prep phases taken for it?
