Part of what you don't see in my lab is me testing the very boundaries of magic, and I have yet to find one that wasn't, in some way, form, fashion, or design, bypassable. I have spells that would probably horrify you, if you knew the details of them, and no one has pushed me to the point where I feel compelled to use them.
