even as roy's gauntlet connects, he can feel a small amount of his magic leaving him, the crystals latching on at the point of impact with multiple arms sprouting from the crystaline structure, grasping in various positions, draining him of his magic at exponential rates before moving on to the next guard and the next, mages having very little ability to resist him even should they be physically fit as stephen's magic amps his own physical abilities before the average soldiers begin to realize they were possibly under attack, a shot connecting before stephen collapses to the ground, the crystals retracting as the crystal becomes too preoccupied with maintaining stephen's life.
