It truly was impressive what multiple mages were capable of. Lightning coursed across its skin, burning it as the cold contracted it. The skin of this insect-like beast seemed to serve as its armor, and like any armor, it was suited for certain things and certain things only. Extreme warping was not one of these things. Shirik raised their staff as the ball of sparks came to roughly the size of a S'Tor's head, and slammed it into the ground. The sparks became lines, and those lines animated themselves into a circle that crept around the stunned creature in seconds. The ring that burned itself into the ground glowed like steel from a forge, and the Iriad mage shouted. [color=D68300][b][i]"MOVE! NOW!"[/i][/b][/COLOR] In the sky above the three of them, something resembling a star exploded into a warm, golden light. For a brief moment, it was as though the night had been turned back by a few hours, as a sound filled the air. The ground began to illuminate, and Shirik, despite their warning, only took a singular step back. Something fell from the stars above, directly onto the creature's head. A blinding flare of intense heat, similar to the fireball they sent into the sky earlier as a demonstration to Kareet. In the field of astronomy, comets and shooting stars were a common occurrence. An object of celestial origin, soaring across the sky of Kanth-Aramek and disappearing as soon as it emerged. It seemed as though Shirik had called down a star in the same fashion incinerate the creature, only there was no solid stone to be found, only fire concentrated into a blazing lance of arcane fury. J'eon and Kareet would have noticed something falling from the sky, as the ground grew brighter to signal its arrival, and when it struck the creature, there was a rupture of golden light, like a volcano erupting into elemental fury without a trace of smoke. There was no explosion to threaten J'eon or Kareet, but what was once bitter cold was now a sweltering heatwave akin to a blacksmith's workspace.
