Magnus roared in rage and partially in pain as he was wounded further. Hm..Magnus thought to himself. Jumping backwards so as to get leverage on Dresden's attack before he rushed him, Magnus turned and jumped into a tree. "Damn..without that transformation of his this wouldn't have been too difficult." He thought. He moved a few trees back, still able to see Dresden yet the trees would provide some cover. He concentrated once more, this time planting a image of 3 illusions, laughing at Dresden, each a good way off from Dresden and in different directions If this didn't work, he'd have to use his weapons, or quite obviously he would be killed or severely wounded. Opening his eyes hoping the illusions had worked he had opened them just in time to watch Dresden's failed attempt at a charge take down the tree he had once been in. "Well. Ain't I lucky?" He thought to himself.

Jumping down he dashed at Dresden from behind, nearly impossible to hear his footsteps, he grabbed him from behind and hurled him into a tree nearest him. "Remember Dresden, this is a duel of skill, not a death match. Control yourself" Magnus told him.
