As long as the preparations are thorough, they can achieve continuous "spell bombardment," causing damage far beyond their own level.
But in official competitions, Spiritual Beasts are not allowed to carry any equipment or items, and spirit paintings are naturally included in this restriction.
This requires the Spiritual Painter to "improvise."
As a result, a spirit painting might not even be finished before it gets defeated by the opponent's Spiritual Beast.
Later, a Spiritual Painter invented the "simple spirit painting," also known as the "semi-finished spirit painting," which uses the simplest ink strokes to create a basic version of a spirit painting.
The advantage of this is that it greatly reduces the time needed to draw a spirit painting.
However, the downside is that these simple spirit paintings cannot be reused and are often scrapped after 3 or 4 uses.
The "simple spirit painting" was popular for a while.
