*Gong!*
With that sound, all hell broke loose. Phoenix started lobbing firebolt after firebolt, going for quantity over quality.
She was trying to make sure Morticia didn't have time to break into her mind. So keeping the other woman on the move was paramount.
But Morticia was no slouch either. Since she knew that breaking into Phoenix's mind would be no easy feat, she went for the same tactic as her counterpart, sending out small mental bursts.
These minor attacks were battering Phoenix's brain like a sledgehammer, making her feel dizzy, nauseous, and then sleepy, in a random order, repeatedly.
Phoenix had to fight her own body just to keep on focusing. Besides that, she was also slowly taking damage.
It was no secret that psychics were most mages' bane, since they disrupted concentration with each of their attacks. But we could say the same the other way around.
