Okay then, I’ll continue to post. Yeah I noticed some opposite themes with our characters. One’s more of a lithe but weedy mage type whereas one is a raw force/ strength based warrior type, one has an affinity for ice and cold and dark conditions, one is basically the opposite. Also your character is more of a destructive force whereas mine uses magic that focuses on constructing things rather than dealing damage directly, making him more effective as a support unit.

I shrug, a little nervous still but with a bit more confidence than before.
Me: Better, thanks.
I figure I might as well focus on solid fire techniques for now, as I haven’t yet developed an offensive use for solid light, although it does seem to have worked better than expected. I duck behind a pile of rubble and place my hands out as if I were holding cymbals. A beam of light emerges quite naturally from one, and upon hitting the opposite palm seems to shift and looks for a second as if it’s crumbling. The cluster of material suddenly snaps into a form reminiscent of white hot metal, although it emits no heat. I quickly form a pair of admittedly shoddy cuffs which I don on my ankles, allowing me to enhance my speed and manoeuvrability.
I then dart around the battlefield, moving as evasively as possible and casting the same support spell I used in the ice caves before, giving each ally's weapon a temporary burning effect. Except for Barlor, who gets a solid lighting coat for his blade due to his aversion to fire. This would add a shock effect similar to a taser, without interfering with its function as, well, a sword.
Me: (thinking) the spells are working surprisingly well, even the light cuffs. I wonder if that’s an extra effect from Christina’s prayer?
I continue to zip around the field, throwing weak long ranged spells at the emperor from all directions, more to serve as a distraction than actual damage.
