'So, that won't work.' He concluded after some more thinking (albeit limited in capacity due to everything he was dealing with now).
Letting the storm start was as good as letting it run its course. He had no way of controlling how it would develop. Like a chemical reaction, it would do what it needed to do to finish its reaction. To Eldrian's knowledge, no type of matter was inert to the reaction, and he did not know how to separate the mana forms.
With this option unavailable (and yet the most common option the AI employed), his next bet was dealing with the source of the reaction. Already, he was dealing with the elemental mana filling the world. This step was rather simple, but more or less just a bandaid for the problem.
