My problem is that it was a really cheap no-sell.

You more or less ignored the fact that oil is rather difficult to extinguish and would soak through cloth, especially since Sergei doused them before actually throwing the molotov.

And when Lemon started casting lightning bolts, you didn't even do some sort of clever counter-spell, it boiled down to "No there are other mages and it doesn't work."

So between me and him their numbers should have thinned out rather nicely, all things considered.
