Out of the way of the spear, Eldrian canceled his shield and retracted his mana. Decreasing how much stronger the spear could grow as it flew high in the air. Disappearing from sight as Eldrian continued to freefall.
'Phew, that was perhaps a bit too close—' Eldrian's thoughts froze as he found the world disappearing into darkness.

'This is...mana? Another spe—' Casting yet another wind burst, Eldrian flung himself out of the perceived danger. Yet, he was too slow. Pain filled his mind as he found his left arm nearly severed at the elbow.
