Steve twirled his staff in the air, for no apparent reason besides showing off. He felt a shockwave come out of the armoured mans sword. It would blow him away if he didn't protect himself. But, he did just that. Stopping the staff twirl, he brought his hand up, palm open and facing the shock wave's point of origin. A simple barrier spell would protect him.

A glowing, dark purple see-through sphere surrounded the Pyro-Wizard, stopping the shockwave from harming him. After a few moments, the barrier dissipated into thin air and Steve stared at the armored man. "Nice weapon." A burst of flames came out of his staff's tip. Had his face not been covered by the hoods shadow, some of his opponents would see him grin.
