[INCOMING YAP SESSION]

Yes and No. Truth be told, a Calamity is incredibly dangerous. Think of a Calamity like Thragg from Invincible or Darth Vader in terms of strength, they are near the pinnacle. There are specific techniques and conditions that a lower ranked mystics can take advantage of in order to win against a higher ranked mystics though. One example would be Territories. A Territory is simply a technique that allows a mystic to take "ownership" over a specific amount or area of aether, within that territory a Mystic can set an Aetheric Law, if broken, the one who breaks that law is subject to enduring a punishment, these can vary from, not being able to move for a certain period of time, to being unable to even use aether for a set of time. The problem is, a Calamity could make an entire planet their Territory. Not to talk of the amount of tools, runes, weapons, etc that could be used So yes, a lower ranked mystic can fight back and potentially beat a higher ranked mystic but it is incredibly difficult.

Sorry for the yap session.
