Well, this is new. Magnus thought to himself. If he is going to demonstrate his gift, I shall mine. Magnus allowed one of the claw strikes to hit him, opening a wound on his right shoulder, so he could concentrate on speaking directly to Dresden's mind. He jumped back a few feet from Dresden's barrage of claws, randomly saying various things to Dresden telepathically. Magnus dashed at Dresden, pushing down on Dresden's shoulder and rolling over his back ending up behind him. He sent a series of jabs at Dresden's back and the back his head, before finally issuing a powerful kick directed at the middle of Dresden's back.
