Was that a massive rock flying his way? Without any time to think, they had been ambushed by a horde of apes. Ettamri's battlecry sure didn't do anything to help them. Taking a deep breath, he was ready to take charge. The rock was already flying when he had seen it. There was no time to chant. Hell, his chant may not have even been enough. Instead, he chose the safest option for both him and his healer. With all of the strength and speed he could possibly muster, he ran out of the boulder's path. He took Katya with him, wrapping his free arm around her torso to make sure she was pulled out of the line of site. Then, magic began to form around at the end of his staff. Magical energy began to collect as a sigil formed pointed at the rock-throwing ape. Then, formless became form as a spear made out of ice slowly emerged from the spear, growing in size as the winter winds blew snow onto it.

Then, without any hesitation, he fired it at the rock-throwing ape. A mild discouragement, would it not be? Even if it was a glancing blow, the freezing effect of his icicle spear could slow down any action.
