There were the kind of problems that could be solved with Abjuration. Those were problems such as a witch deciding to commit a crime and transmute a nearby innocent individual into an obituary. In those cases, having the ability to metaphorically say "no" to fireballs, familiars and necromantic energy bent on depriving you of your will to live was life-saving. There were also the kind of problems that Abjuration could not solve; Fizzling out fireballs or banishing a creature back to where it came from were nice, but they rarely did much against physical harm outside of healing. In Stormy's case, he had tricks up his sleeve for both sides of the coin, but that required more than one thing to go right in the current situation, neither of which were on the table for getting to safety and away from the Black Shuck. His chromatic barriers were more oriented to less physical attacks, but for now, they served as insulation between the evil hound and their throats. The other person, Phalko, suggested avoiding eye contact. That would explain the stare it had. [color=1dd09e]"Manon's right, Lina needs to know this thing is here. If we can get out of here with cloaking, it's worth trying. I can leave the barriers long enough for us to get away from it- I don't have to actively maintain them, but they'll dissolve on their own eventually if I don't. Ten minutes max if I don't pay attention to them."[/color] Without his chains, he couldn't use magic at his best. Of all the times to not carry magic anchor chains on your arms, it had to be when they took a detour during a holiday. [color=1dd09e]"Zhalia? You seem pretty calm about this. Do you know something about that creature we don't?"[/color] He asked, trying to avoid looking directly at the hound, since eye contact seemed to be part of its method. He wasn't so much of a fighter as he was a defender. Stormy could keep it at bay for a while, but that was the only thing he could reliably do in this situation. If the cage failed, he was out of options. [/color] [/indent][/indent][/indent][/indent][/indent][/indent]
