A fireball grazed his head, so close that he felt the heat singeing his hair. Elio had instinctively ducked, only to find himself in the path of an ice lance. The projectile impacted his leg, sending a wave of cold through his body.
Elio: 11 mana, 80 armor resistance
Panting from the effort, Elio knew he needed to change the battle's dynamics. With a quick movement, he directed the lance once more, spending another precious mana point.
Elio: 10 mana, 80 armor resistance
Swift: 26 resistance
The swift, wounded but still dangerous, changed tactics. It began flying in erratic patterns, making it almost impossible to predict its movements. Elio felt panic beginning to take over. He needed to find a way to end this quickly, before running out of mana or resistance.
With a desperate move, Elio used two mana points to make the lance describe a wide arc, trying to corner the swift. At the same time, he ordered the salamander to launch another fireball.
