Sterilization

Skill Requirement: Low

Mana requirement: Low

A spell that kills bacteria, viruses and fungi within a target space. The area of effect can be increased by using more Mana to cast the spell. It can also be used to target a certain type of microorganism (Such as sterilizing only the influenza viruses in a sake brewery without affecting the kouji*).

TLN*: Mold used for fermentation.

It is also possible to target microorganisms in corpses and such, but microorganisms inside the bodies of living creatures cannot be targeted. If the caster is able to somehow fuse with that organism or directly examine the inside of its body, then it becomes possible.

Also, this spell does not function sufficiently to kill fungi and mold that have become monsters; it merely weakens their functions.

    Bug Killer

Skill Requirement: Low

Mana requirement: Low

A spell with Sterilization’s effects limited to bugs. It kills creatures that the caster recognizes as bugs.

Vandalieu considers pill bugs and woodlice to be like crustaceans, so he cannot kill them.

Like Sterilization, this spell is unable to kill bugs inside living creatures. For it to work, the caster must use a method to either directly examine the inside of the body or to fuse with the creature itself. However, it can kill bugs visible from outside the body (such as parasites in the mucus membranes of the eyeballs).

Also like Sterilization, this spell is ineffective against bugs that have turned into monsters. However, it does cause them discomfort, so it can ward them off.
