AoEs - Area of (in)Efficiency

[Prestige]

Crystal does not delete every projectile. It only deletes linear-type spells.

Which is still strong, but wholly irrelevant against spells you want it to block like sear, like meteor, like scattering lights, blood bomb, Ice Aura Q,  rings of malice, spores, or anything that it would be useful blocking.

Barring the Javelin spells it only blocks the stream of 1 spell damage that orb spells produce which is not a big dealbreaker regardless.

Those are homing(s), so they don't count.

Sear and meteor don't need to be blocked when they circle your opponent and do a whole 360 before dealing one tick of damage.
