It would seem that things wouldn't be as easy as he had hoped. The spell did not form as easy as he had expected; there was more to it than just creating a solid sphere-like object by combining two spells together. Much like with the Light Ring the Wall spell wanted to take on its own shape, and the Sprite allowed it to do so if only to see what it would do; unsurprisingly, it flattened out into a thin disc-like object, fitting the idea that this spell was to be used to create a barrier between the user and any incoming attacks.

It was clear that in its current form the Wall wouldn't stop much of anything; it was too thin, too flimsy to provide an adequate defense. He would need to strengthen it before it would be usable in combat, but how to go about doing that? The Wall needed to be stronger, harder, so it would withstand an attack. It was similar to how when he had created the Mana Dart, when he first fired the projectile it had simply crumpled on impact; it had the shape of a dart but didn't have the rigidity to actually piece what it hit. It was the same principle here.

He could compress the mana, shrinking the size of the barrier while making it harder by increasing the density, much like he had with the dart. However, this would increase the cost of the completed spell as well as making the barrier so small as to not provide suitable coverage, especially if he wanted to use it to protect someone other than himself. Perhaps there was a way to harden the mana, change its actual properties, rather than just adding more.

Oberon tried to do just that, concentrating on the disc of mana in front of him as he attempted to somehow produce a [i]shift[/i] in the substances properties, to turn it from a floating circle of energy into a solid pane. It was unlike anything he had tried to do before and honestly he had no idea what he was doing, simply attempting to use [i]intent[/i] more than anything like logic to affect the mana.

If that didn't work, then perhaps he should try using a different kind of mana entirely, something that was already suited towards this kind of magic to begin with. Nature, Light and Fire; none of those would work, with the possible exception of Light. Instead he thought of Earth, something he had little experience with, and tried to bring forth the same kind of energy he had seen Digbie using a few times; he had seen the Goblin using Stone Shot back in the cave, he had seen the Slime Mage creating spires of rock and he had himself learned how to use Sacred Ground during the previous nights training sessions. If he couldn't make the mana solid, then he would make it rock instead.
