Counterspell: the Second Law

If a thing is created, something must be consumed. Every change brings about another change. For every magic spell that is cast, a counterspell is also cast. Nature will always maintain that balance. If we attend to the counterspell, then the result of a spell may be the outcome we expect. Otherwise, each act of magic, no matter how small or trivial, increases the chaos of both man and beast, of forest and glade--of all that we cherish, and deem to be stable and immovable. Past ages have left remnants of their carelessness within their ruins. Erben Leaf, last Guardian of the Ruins, has taken upon his shoulders the task of preventing the careless use of magic from once again emerging as a plague upon mankind.
