I think now that we are getting into our first action sequence we should establish more concrete-ly some things. 

Such as the limits of the magic Pria knows, how physically tough she would be and also how fast/easily she could work the ship(s).

I don't want to power-play or Deus Ex Machina a way out of this for free. If I know what cards are in the deck then I can play :D

Obviously she isn't terribly strong. About average there, but perhaps she's pretty nimble? Her smaller size and speed would give some small advantage in a scrap. I also stated she had some experience in a fight but nothing major, just squabbles and whatnot. Enough to not clam up every-time lol

As for magic I stated it's reflection based, and that she derives power from a goddess. So perhaps she can pray for a protective barrier? It would take verbally asking for it, as well as the time to finish the prayer. Then her pocket mirror can be powered magically to reflect blows? So if someone punches at her and holds the mirror up, they would hurt their fist with an equal reaction. With laser shots and stuff I think it's fair she can reflect those as well, granted that she can pour enough magic into the mirror. Also I had the idea of her "holding" the reflection of some-things to use later. Like if someone stabs at her and she manages to block it with the mirror, then she can hold the mirror to someone later and let a stab of equal size and force out later?

If any of that is too much or you have different ideas feel free to say so please :)
