Winters replied meticulously, "No, I am not certain that the person was a court mage."
"Then let me rephrase that." Colonel Magr touched his nose, "Did you kill a chanting spellcaster who was a suspected magic user?"
"No, the person was killed by Hurd shaman Hestas, the other soldiers present, and myself," Winters replied without wanting to overstate his role. He knew that if it hadn't been for Hestas interrupting the enemy in time, he would have been dead.
"Let me ask it another way." Colonel Magr said somewhat displeased after failing to get a conclusive answer, "How did that suspected magic user die?"
With no way to avoid it, Winters answered upright, "I pierced his head with an Arrow Flying Spell."
Colonel Magr snorted coldly and stopped asking questions. He leaned back into his chair, resting against the backrest.
