Phase Inverse — the inverse of Phase. Still using matrices as an example: an inverse matrix possesses the Phase Inverse of the original matrix's elements.
This explanation is obviously too abstract. The concepts of Phase and Phase Inverse originally stem from matter and antimatter. If matter possesses a certain Phase, the corresponding antimatter has the corresponding Phase Inverse. For things where "Phase" equates to existence, when those of Phase and Phase Inverse meet, they annihilate like matter and antimatter — Mana being one such case. This is also the fundamental principle of //Shield Spell.
