"Just shut up already!" Larek roared, getting up.

Realizing that his magic wasn't going to do it, the mage took out a green vial. "We'll meet again!" he threw the vial on the ground, and it exploded into a burst of green mist. When the smoke cleared, he was still standing there, still injured, and in no way changed.

"I have it figured out already..." Larek said.
