The attacks seemed to hit something inbetween the two men, and almost break it. Inquisitor Lucious was hit, twice, but again his armour absorbed most of the damage. It was, however, breaking apart now.
"A true caster. We've not had your kind in the south for a long time. A good thing that I came prepared." - he then sent a few prayers to his gods, one of which turned into The Gasping Breath precisely at the point where the gods were asked to rob his enemies of their breath. But that was just a distraction. Towards the end of the prayer came the real attack - Discombobulation.
Dynamis heard the chanting of the first spell and stood his ground behind the cobblestone wall waiting. He listened carefully and after the first spell was released he continued to breathe normally, until suddenly he didn't. Thinking furiously he recognized some sort of control air spell. The other caster must've been able to see him through the small gap at chest level. Diving to the ground he hides himself completely in the shadow of the wall as the Inquisitor incanted his next spell. Dynamis' mind tingles as the energies of a mind spell disorient him for a bit. While he couldn't be sure he was almost certain it was a spell he himself had once reviewed. Lucky for him it required hard clear line of sight to take effect. Otherwise he'd be on the ground blubbering about his mother. The mistake would be the end of the Inquisitor, of that Dynamis resolved.
This Inquisitor was powerful, almost too powerful for Dynamis. Only his wits would keep him alive through this fight. Shaking his head a bit he gauged he could throw another three lightning bolts at the Inquisitor. Maybe four. His hands stroking his book he rolled out with an outstretched hand at the open target of the Inquisitor. His arrogance would be his undoing. A
Lightning Bolt shot out at the man before him, then another
Lightning Bolt, and another
Lightning Bolt. The magickal stores of his book nearing exhaustion and his mind starting to go a bit dim from lack of air Dyanmis threw up a quick
Air Shield between him and the Inquisitor and hazarded
There Can Be Only One directed at the anti-thetical inquisitor. Doubtless his foe would shield himself from some of the blows, but the blunder of not fully understanding the Discombobulate had doubtless cost him dearly in magickal energies. This fight would goto Dynamis, surprise and long practice had served him well.
Edit: For the curious Dynamis has about 3 mana left from the start of the scene now. Are we going to try and limit ourselves Tom or just play it out with whatever new reserves we've gotten? This would've been quite the show for some low level wizards as it is.
