Femus stopped for a moment, just stopped.  It was the first time he had heard human level speech in his new body.  He felt tingles rush over his surface.  His mind went into overdrive as his body began levitating as swiftly as possible after the fleeing rat, trying to stay in range as he focused on rapidly casting Mana Orb 2 without hitting his new acquaintance.  He hadn't realized that he would actually miss human interaction to such an extent that he could have a physical response to getting it back.

He unconsciously raised the importance of making an ally of this pixie by several ticks on his priority list.  He also used Monster Analysis on the dire rat, determined to use his understanding of anatomy to discover any additional weak points as well as using his knowledge of its body to predict its most likely movements.

His first lvl 2 Mana Orb was simply targeted to land another body hit, he wasn't picky.  It would probably knock the rat down, giving him a brief window of opportunity.  In the instant that it fell, he would hit it again.  But, this followup spell would be aimed at where the rat's head was most likely to be.  Femus would only stop the combo mid-way if the rat clearly suffered immediately terminal damage from the first Mana Orb 2.
