So I recently completed a Creativity Spell. Upon completion, my ceramic spell tray that I've done multiple spells in, broke in half. I've seen three different takes on the cause of this. 1) The spell worked but the release of the energy was so heavy, it passed through the tray and broke it. 2) The spell was rejected, but again flow of energy was so powerful, it broke. or 3) Thermal expansion caused the ceramic plate to break, scientific reasoning only. I'm not sure what to think, myself honestly. Any thoughts from you all?
