Chapter 83 - Picking Up

It hadn't changed. Still no glyph. Still no preview.

Still that one vague, clinical line:

"Inverts the most recent hostile glyph logic within proximity. Result varies."

Lucen rubbed a hand over his face.

Inverted glyph logic wasn't a thing.

It wasn't just rare, it wasn't possible. Glyphs weren't built to reverse. They had structure. Flow. A cast sequence that demanded completion or cancellation. 

If you broke a glyph, the magic failed. If you mirrored it, it destabilized. If you tried to invert one?

That wasn't spellcraft.

That was sabotage.

He checked the casting structure again. Still reflexive. No draw. Just an instinct trigger.

Like a trap. Or a counterspell.

'Except counterspells break a cast,' he thought. 'This one flips it.'

Lucen let that sit for a moment.

Then asked aloud, "Flip it into what?"

No answer.

The system just hovered. Passive. Obedient. Waiting.

He opened his stat page, mostly just to clear his head.
