It'd be nice if you could refrain from posting blantantly negative messages. If you feel something is wrong you could post something thought out and helpful to improve it. I'll show you an example: Your posts are rather bland and have spelling errors. Why don't you try reading what you type?

"Well, well, well what do we have here?" questioned an ominous voice in the distance. From their direction came a raging ball of fire large enough to fill the entire passage. The entire hall was now filled with light and Tash could surely see that there were no side passages to escape into. "I don't appreciate it when strangers invite themselves into my home."
The fire spell was spiraling forward and Tash had to act quickly. He lacked enough time to properly set out a spell and had to go with the amount of water, air, and death runes as he grabbed. He hastily clapped his fists together and released a torrent of water at the oncoming fireball. The cave was soon filled with a loud hissing sound as the water evaporated on contact with the fire magic but managed to extinguish it all the same.
"So my little intruder has some talent, eh?" The darkness was shattered with a barrage of fire spells, although this time they were all much smaller. The smaller fire spells, which were probably cast with only mind runes, were flying much faster than the previous larger one.
"This isn't good," muttered Tash. He dove to the floor and spread himself flat to try and evade as many blows as possible. A number of them singed over his back leaving darkened trails of burnt cloth, and he quickly remembered that the floor was heavily covered in ash as he coughed it back up. He raised his head to examine what would follow.

The enemy mage let out a wild cackle, and then heaved in some air. "Glorious display is it not?" he asked as he began to approach Tash lying on the ground. "An entire system of catacombs dug out by magic. The perfect place for a dragon to live I'd say." He stopped roughly twelve feet from Tash. "Whatever you're thinking about this cave is wrong. This entire network of channels isn't natural; it was all burned away by my fire magic." Tash looked at the mage with a confused stare. In all of his days working with runes and magic he had never been able to burn through solid rock with a fire spell.
"But how is that even possible?" Tash began to edge backwards to stand back up while he still had the chance. "How could you possibly have decimated rocks this size for this length with just fire spells?" He nimbly pushed down on the carpet of ash and sprung back up, yet his opponent paid no attention to his movements.
The mage chuckled again. "Why it's this suit that I wear of course." He stretched out his arms and lit two balls of flame in his palms with only a snap of his fingers. "This outfit is crafted from the skin of a dragon's wings. And hopefully you're aware that fire is a dragon's main element, so not only does it defend me from magic from the material alone it also gives me a major boost to the element of fire." With the light from his hands Tash could see that this fellow mage was indeed wearing armor from a dragon's wing. It looked like a sleek black set of clothing and seemed to reflect the light emanating from his hands unlike regular cloth. "As for you and your plain rags, I haven't a clue how you manage to summon such magical force."

New thoughts sprouted in Tash's mind. Clothing can affect how well your magic performs? He was aware of how magic could be more effective against metals or be less effective against certain leathers, but he had never known that wearing certain clothing could increase his own magical powers. The point that it could reach that was visible from his opponent was monstrous enough!
"What would you say are your abilities without that armor on?" Tash asked now that he was curious about it. His thirst for knowledge on this topic had outweighed the fear that should be surging through his body from standing in the presence of such a foe.
The mage lowered both of his hands and let the balls of flame drop and dissipate on the rocky floor. "With the proper amount of runes I could probably manage this." He crushed a small number of runes in his right hand and shot a ball of fire about three and a half feet wide and two feet tall into the ceiling of the cave causing it to rumble a bit. Where he was getting these runes from was still unknown to Tash.
A grin spread across Tash's face as a devious thought grew in his head. "You wouldn't mind letting me see that suit for a second would you?" He took a good look at the dragon wing covered man in front of him. The pants he was wearing hung relatively loosely down to his feet and then proceeded to cover those. His shirt snug tightly against his torso and fluttered to a more fitting style around the arms down to the hands. His head was covered with a hood that cast a shadow over his face. The piece that made it complete though was the set of wings folded inward on his back. Surely that was what gave him the rumor of being a stray dragon.
