*absorbs my energy from you*

???:

Trying to use my own power against me? You're dumber than you look.

*thousands of tiny strings of amaranthine latch into the surface level of your skin, and expand quickly*
[/quote]

*The power you reabsorbed explodes when you take it in, scaring your flesh in wounds that fester and gush blood*

That won't work a second time, mage.

*He becomes incorporeal, and the energy is wasted*
