Watching as the various herds of monsters stamped towards us - some more aggressively than others - I began to use my free hand to trace out the runes for a spell, making use of the sparse few seconds we had to try and cut down as many of these monsters as I possibly could.
The ethereal cyan mana poured from my pointer finger as I swiftly created a Ritual Circle, and as the herd of tall, lithe deer monsters galloped closer, I tossed out a discus that was as tall as me and had it hover overhead, its flat surface producing dozens of icicles as the water rune inlaid into it began to create spouts of water that was instantly frozen into icicles.
Then, when the deer galloped far too close and far too fast to stop, those icicles began to snap off the bottom of the disc and slice down towards the ground, where the deer just so happened to be passing.
