I'm not sure if this has been mentioned before, did anyone else catch the Gurren Lagann reference? Very subtle Eliezer, I almost missed it.

Having a spiral of green energy is subtle.

Calling it the Breaking Drill Hex is less subtle.

Having the incantation being "Lagann!" is not subtle at all.

There are subtle references in there, but that ain't one of them.

I look forward to your GL fanfic where Simon pierces the heavens with his unrivalled knowledge of AI and Robotic systems.
