"Walker! A little help!" Since Walker was able to use the earth elemental mana, he had been called upon a few times now. He could encapsulate the cauldron that was overheating while the water mages used their skills to flood the flames and rapidly cool it.
With this call, Walker was brought to focus on a cauldron that was already smoking black toxic fumes. If he hadn't used the eternal orb staff form in that second, then it would have burst in to explosive flames spewing the contents at nearby participants.
The earth wrapped around the cauldron leaving a small space at the top. One of the water mages stepped forward using their skills to fill it with water. Together with Walker, the pair was able to freeze the top. The next moment the ice cracked and caused the water to bubble over. The steam let off was still burnt black but it had cooled enough not to cause anyone injury.
