I understand, I'll respond further later but the shield thing would be countered, it would sort of shimmer into existence before dissipating. It would look and feel to Anora as if she were rubbing up against something smooth with her powers, like water moving over a stretchy balloon. His pointing is quick, he does it while walking away and not looking at the man. Darsby wouldn't do counter her with any visible action, only giving her a passing glance behind him and a mild sigh before continuing on his way as said. 

I promise Anora won't be powerless like this for long. I'll explain magic and why when I get back from training here in awhile.
