Mana couldn't hurt its user so her spells phased through her body, catching Phloria by surprise. Being close to Friya had turned into a mistake because she was now a conduit for the elements.
Quylla had just finished healing herself and moved to Phloria's back, having the care to remain outside Full Guard's area of effect.
'Going into battle on a full stomach is a dumb move unless you gorged on nutrients.' The healing spells would have made her faint if not for that.
Phloria cursed and activated the Give and Take ability of Reaver. It converted part of the mana from the spells stored and cast by the blade into a flow of energy that empowered its master's physical prowess.
Give and Take was the secret behind Phloria mastering Blade Spells since it allowed her to exchange energy with her weapon at will. It was a happy side effect whereas now she was using it as intended.
