With his bat raised, he walked to the spot where she'd pointed to and steadied himself as the lady prepared the machine for the next ball. A whump of air signalled the shot and the ball sped towards him. Bat ready, he gritted his teeth and swung just as the ball reached him. A good, solid [i]thwack[/i] of the aluminium bat hitting leather signified the hit and the ball sped away towards the fence, another burst of ice magic from the bat impact making the ball freeze solid in seconds and shatter upon impact with the chain-link fence. Daniel lowered his bat and took a look at the runes imprinted onto the aluminium and shrugged. [color=lightblue]"I really shouldn't load this thing with ice magic, huh."[/color]
