The onlookers had been surprised when Krassu had broken those ice walls with his staff. And now, they were astonished to find him in the sky, thinking that he was about to hit the dragon's head with his staff.
Krassu was challenging their whole framework of assumptions about the way magic casters were. Turns out magic casters can be strong at melee combat too! He prefers using his staff to spells. He is literally a melee magic caster!
Gandalf? Mag lifted an eyebrow. Urien's ice magic is superb. Krassu has combined magic with close combat. He derives strength from those magic runes—that's why he can move so fast.
They both have good points. If Amy can study under them both, she might become a unique and versatile magic caster. She'll have no weakness.
But I'm not sure if they'll accept this proposal. It seems they really hate each other, Mag thought, worried. Now, he only needed to work out a way to make Amy become a disciple of both of them.
