.....
You face down Yomi across the strange grey slate of the Land of Mazes. Do they even have plants in Earthworld, or is it all just rock? You remember middle school biology telling you that some races live on planets without a single blade of grass, planets where there's nothing but rock--and some races are rocks, living diamonds who live by refracting light like humans live by breathing air.
They probably don't have living diamonds in Earthworld. You don't think they could metabolize the weird light of the Lifeblood like normal electromagnetic light. But who knows. You certainly don't...
Yomi mutters a few strange syllables and blue light surrounds the both of you.
"I based this spell on the shield system Martin's ERC uses, but its more simple. No color levels or anything like that. Just make a crack in them, and you win! You got it?"
You nod.
"Alright, let's start then!" the Ring of Potency starts to glow until it blazes like a small star in Yomi's hand. "Let's see how you handle some old spells honed in the Pedit caves by my ancestors!"
"Is that really fair to start out with spellcasting, Yomi?" Helen asks.
"I was thinking Izzy could try countering with his extra powers."
Or, you could try copying the powers of the spells...though they would have to manifest first...
