Kothar whirled around, and immediately hurled the Storm Field spell he had prepared towards his assailant. The man was dressed in furs from head to toe, and was quite short, his frame hidden by the heavy furs draped all about him.
His eyes wide, Cieba leapt back in surprise and swung at the incoming glowing ball of lightning with the Treasure Frond, missing it completely.
Kothar's mana manipulation abilities had increased by leaps and bounds since his last real battle, and he easily slammed the Storm Field into the ground in front of Cieba.
The branch which Kothar had been resting on was now scorched black by the constantly striking bolts, and while they did no serious damage to Cieba, they did their part in confusing him and giving Kothar more time to assess his opponent.
[His main weapon must be that massive golden palm leaf. It's saturated with a strange mana, but so is he, it's almost as if it's part of his body, except his body has its own mana.] Kothar pointed to Silane.
