Countless deadly spears of fire and ice crash against an invisible protective barrier right in front of me, and the resulting explosion forces me to take a couple of steps backwards.
Before the next wave of attacks that would surely come, I reach out both of my hands and channel my magic into the barrier, strengthening and reinforcing it so that it would survive the relentless assaults from my attackers.
The protective barrier that I have erected should be able to retain its integrity and cohesion for as long as I can supply the necessary magical energy.
Unfortunately, I can already feel a sharp drop within my mana pool with each successful strike against my barrier, and I realize quickly that I would not be able to maintain this defensive position for long.
No. Not against my current opponents.
