"You made the attack non-fatal on purpose; it was simply to immobilize me for a bit."

Of course, now that my blood had melted the ice spear, stopping it early, I would be fine with a couple of healing scrolls and less than an hour.
The only reason the pain had been so drastic at first when I was in the classroom was because of my ability.
