^ Rather than a continuous spell it must be a spell that Imagine Breaker cannot touch. AFAIHS all the spells that IM has rendered useless are spells that he can touch physically. The spell might also be required to be cast repeatedly.

As for spells which are so powerful that it can be touched by the IB without dispelling (Fiamma's 40 km flame sword, Accelerator's Black Wings): it's just because the IB can only dispel so much per second. Beat that dispelling rate and you can overpower the IB.

Which then leads to a third problem because if it's a natural effect, why does destroying the cross dispel the effect?

All these examples are usually from spells affecting the body... Quote:
If you say it's a natural side effect that means it's no longer affected by magic. But if that's the case, how does destroying the cross remove the effects of the coma?

I think Saronia's magic was not specifically aiming for his left arm and it going limp is just a secondary effect. Since touching it with IB did nothing the spell might have been aimed at something else like his mind. It does mention that he "suddenly smelled flowers" right before the spell activated. That might be the key to how that spell works.

I doubt one can recover from that condition instantly. Quote:

Meaning it doesn't get better just because Kamijou destroyed something. Quote:

Speculah again.
It's possible that the immediate effect of the Divine Punishment spell is the hypoxia, and the lasting effect is that no one can recover from the spell as long as the cross is still intact. Of course, this requires Touma to touch the victim for him/her to recover, but once he takes away his hand, it's hypoxia all over again for the poor victim. Destroying the cross is needed to allow a recovery period for the victims.

So far, it seems like IB works according to Kamachi's needs (or whims) so it's basically a deus ex machina (or maybe a deus ex humerus? )... It's current ambiguity is one of the few things that bother me from the novels, so I try not to think much about it. |

So, if you want a simple explanation, Accelerator threw 3 dices for 777 which couldn't possible lose, however Touma could touch the dices and got in the way creating a 776 instead; and Accelerator couldn't notice the tampering until the play was over. Quote:
The volume has been pretty fun, even though there is no big bad boss around to mess things up and that can wipe out countries by using his mojo.
