[color=ed1c24][i]He can use fire too,[/i][/color] Maddox thought. The thoughtforms that ganged up on Grane proved their lack of substance with his ball of flame, and as such phased out of the air. The large, draconian man taunted Maddox for his strategy so far, but the remaining copies of Maddox only grinned. [color=ed1c24]"I told you I was rusty,"[/color] one of the Maddox copies claimed, before vanishing away to prove it was a thoughtform. [color=ed1c24]"But I've been holding myself back for a reason. There are two outcomes I want to avoid."

[color=ed1c24]"I don't want to collapse this cavern and I don't want to kill you."[/color] With that, the remaining four Maddox copies all vanished.

Bright red light was glowing from his palm. A plume of red light shot out like a powerful flame. The Thruster Palm spell.
