You flick it off as you get enough speed, flying <span class="mu-i">past </span>the sword instead of into it, before spinning mid-air and putting every inch of your power you can muster into a final, bellowing “<span class="mu-i">Depulso!</span>”
You feel as your wand pulses, struggles with the magic you pour through it and then… is strengthened by it.
The sword gets forced towards the floor and falls with the weight of a building on the neck of the armor. The helmet flies off, clattering through the floor with a massive metallic clang, and the great armored body collapses into an enormous pile of empty armor.
> Your bond with your wand grows stronger! +2 to Battle Rolls! New total: +22!Of course, you’re still falling, the ceiling too far for even your strongest Carpe Retractum to reach.
“Heeeeeelp!”
“<span class="mu-i">Arresto momentum!</span>” “<span class="mu-i">Arresto momentum!</span>”
Both Taylor and Raven shout at the same time and you stop, hanging in the air inches from the floor. The spell ends and you fall the remaining distance with a dry thud.
“Ouch,” you say, getting up from the floor. “That… was certainly something.”
“<span class="mu-i">Something</span> alright!” Taylor says. “I thought we were getting crushed!”
“Well, you all did good,” Lily says with a frown. "Nice job not dying."
“How’s everyone doing?” You ask. “Any injuries?”
“Nothing worse than before,” Raven says, still looking paler than normal. “Oh, and I broke a nail.”
“Do you think there’s more of these?” Taylor asks, carefully putting his arm around Raven’s shoulders, as if it could protect her from what's to come.
“Only one way to find out,” Lily says. “Elliot?”
The three of them look at you, and you look at the door. It is massive, but there is not a doubt in your mind you could push it open with your bare hands.
