Yes, the spell is completely broken! (25 Faith)

The air around Keiko seemed to waver, as though from heat; further, her hair, in its tight ponytail, began to flap about, as though a strong wind was blowing just across the arena.{if Keiko's Tier = 2} You, personally, found it difficult not to watch her front loincloth, as it was blown around by the same effect.{endif} Soon enough, her eyes regained their usual fierceness and she simply swung her sword through the air, blasting back the approaching Sumin so that the competitor landed gracelessly upon her ass. "Katappashikara-dono, I apologize... I lost focus for just a moment. I believe it is through your efforts that I recovered myself... I thank you," she paused, taking a moment to bow in your direction.

The ordinary smile had completely fallen from Sopor's mouth. You felt elated to see an actual crack her in stage persona. "Wait... That's not possible!" she complained, her teeth clenched with exertion in a way that told you that even now, she was still attempting to channel more of the hypnotic power into Sumin and take back control of the match. "You're a master of mental control as well?! How could you have hypnotized your priestess so thoroughly?!"

You scratched your head dumbly. You were no master of mental control; you told her that plainly.

"But... I don't understand... ! I'm using a faithful priestess and augmenting her strength further with my mind control! Faith and hypnosis... they've always made Sumin stronger than any other competitor!" Sopor protested, now standing to lean over the railing and look down into the arena, as if getting closer to the action would increase the effect of her support. "How can you match that?!"

You had to admit, you couldn't take credit for it yourself. You remembered back to what Don told you when you entered the Kami Kurabe... this must be that "faith" that priestesses rely on, increasing their link with a god to directly access his strength. Maybe Sopor was relying too much on hypnosis and not enough on that?

"You fucking... don't you dare preach faith to me!" she spat, her twisted frown like she wanted to stomp you with her red high-heels, and not in a sexy way.

Now free, Keiko wasted no time using her sword in its original blade function, chasing down Sumin before the competitor could recover. As the girl turned to run the other way, your priestess brought the sword up, tearing a tremendous gash through the back of the enemy's oddly patterned leotard, causing it to be bisected. It didn't fall off immediately like that, but it was as good as done.

Still wordless, Sumin stood up and brandished her knife again. In response, Keiko swung her sword again, this time releasing each blade piece in a storm around her opponent; the pieces then flew inward shredding the rest of Sumin's garments expeditiously. "The priestesses are all hypnotized by their gods, but you more than most, Sumin. Return to your senses and abandon the woman you call your goddess!" Keiko demanded, requesting Sumin's forfeit...

Based on the way the judges had quickly reduced the T3 to a T2, then the T2 to a T1 judgment, you had to agree that surrender would probably be in the girl's best interest... Those blades weren't going to cut Sumin, but it couldn't be comfortable, weathering a tornado of blades like that.
