Adaptive Resistance had a limit. Throughout my entire life, that limit had been spell level. But as I'd gained more control over it, pushing it to be more than a simple passive response, my understanding of it had changed. I learned to target specific spells, take the edge off of superior magic, and absorb mana to create self-sustaining wards. Those initial limitations of the circle and level faded away as I overrode the natural order of the ability, turning it into a flexible tool useful in almost every situation, not just the ones that I'd worked up specific resistances against.
