<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

*Appears just beneath and in front of you while you're attacking the beams and delivers a punch to your gut with force enough that it shatters all bits of the planet behind you to dust*

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

*A flat blue shield appears behind me and blocks it, holding it in place after my attack on you*
[/quote]

*The magic eats away at the shield's material while a hole is blown into my stomach, dripping with thick black ooze*
...
*The next moment, I appear to be in the same spot but have raked three claws across your face, poisoning your flesh*
