Oriana Thomson

 * Main article:Oriana Thomson

Oriana Thomson uses one against Stiyl Magnus. She successfully manages to analyze his magic after he used Tsuchimikado Motoharu's spell, All-Around Reality Array. Oriana, in order to take on Stiyl himself, tried to grasp the type of magic that he could possibly use, and tried her best to focus on sealing Stiyl's magic. She successfully read Stiyl's lifeforce, and then made a magic array (her Shorthand Original) to intercept Stiyl as he converts his lifeforce into mana as he tries to use magic. The spell basically identifies a person and seals him up. As a result, whenever Stiyl used magic that is within Oriana's predictions, great pain falls upon his body. It is described by Motoharu as Stiyl "losing control of his power".

The spell attacks automatically and seems to work regardless of distance from the target. It is on par with execution spells, according to Stiyl, and uses her Shorthand Original to execute it. The effect can be negated by the Imagine Breaker, but reqiures the destruction of the Shorthand Original for the magician to use magic again. The spell also reacts to touch, and counterattacks whoever touches the magic array, or in this case, the Shorthand Original where it is written, as what happened to Fukiyose Seiri.
