I spent a few more minutes studying Adaptive Resistance before focusing on the oppressive crystal enchantment. There were several effects in the magic, from strengthening humans to the mysterious curse effect, but the only one that mattered to me was the element that crippled my magic. It was a constant burden on my soul, siphoning mana as it recovered, as I cast spells, on from any active spells.
The problem was that the entire enchantment was a seventh-level effect, and thus, Adaptive Resistance was ineffective against it. But the power I felt in my ability wasn't weaker than the enchantment, it was just… passive.
