I don't really care enough to make a short or even mini rant. But I have already written would would happen if the mage still goes off, having taken into account where my character is positioned at the moment it was activated. Which is about 5 O'clock on the border form where Metz (I almost wrote Mahtz) had been standing previously. Assuming the circle is only 3 feet wide, as it would need to be to not reach Metz seeing as he stopped 3 or 4 feet away from where I had been standing during my attack.
