It would not take Sabine long to realize the power she now held in her hands. Her paralysis spell had taken Arinette off-guard, and though Sabine's own magicka was now drained almost entirely, she could feel what seemed to be, upon first impressions, a near limitless well of power within the staff. Regardless of how much magicka the staff actually contained, there was a limit to how much a mage could draw from it at once, but that limit was relative to the mage's own ability. For an average mage, the power they could draw upon was still impressive, but Sabine was far beyond average. As she started to cast spells from the staff, Sabine would soon realize that her potential with it was immense. 

Not only could Sabine heal her wounds, but she could essentially erase the pain from many hours of suffering. If she so desired, she could use restoration to enhance her own physical attributes far beyond what was natural, even after being maimed for hours on end. It would be trivial for her to break her manacles, though their enchantment was hardly even relevant at this point. 

Sabine's sudden escape was as surprising to Do'rhajul as it was confusing. One of his hands gripped his weapon, but the order that Sabine shouted to him gave him pause. He looked uncertain, and in the back of his eyes, Sabine may have been able to see some fear. Even Yerig had been caught off-guard by Sabine's escape. He had been the only one in the camp so far to speak up on Sabine's behalf, but even he had not planned on her so quickly escaping her binds. 

The others in the camp reacted much more decisively. One of the Orcs witnessed the escape, and shouted the order for the camp to come to arms. They were all on their guard after the previous night's events, so it took only moments for each of them to rush through the camp towards her. But, even they showed their fear once they realized that she now wielded the staff. Instead of attacking her immediately, they moved to surround her. The armored warriors, including the Orcs and Nord shield-bearer, took positions in front of her. The Redguard conjured up a storm atronach and stayed behind the warriors, while the Breton male started charging a fireball off to her right. The Argonian, meanwhile, strafed slowly to Sabine's left in search of an opening. They were certainly an impressive force together, but Sabine had little cause to be afraid. She was now capable beyond anything they would expect. Even Meesei would be Sabine's clear inferior in her current state. It was possible that Yerig and Do'rhajul might be willing to aid Sabine, given recent revelations, but she could be quite confident in the fact that she did not even [i]need[/i] them to demolish any resistance against her.

When they had power over Sabine, almost every member of Arinette's team had committed terrible atrocities against Sabine. Some were more reluctant than others, but they had each participated in torturing a helpless woman. Now, Sabine held all of the power over them, and it was entirely up to her what she did with it. They were at Sabine's mercy.
