There was one spell Damian had always wanted to try on someone, though he never dared. It skirted dangerously close to violating free will, bordering on slavery. But what if the target was already sworn to end his life, blinded by vengeance so deep they'd never leave him alone?
Moondancer was the perfect candidate for the Divine Seeker Vines spell. Since the one time he'd used it on Vidalia, Damian had sworn never to cast it on another being. But this was different. Damian adjusted the barrier dome overhead, opening it slightly, and ascended above the spot where she was trapped in ice. With the ship on standby, he stepped out of the control room, opening the door to the seating compartment and drawing the intricate runic spell from memory, Damian stood ready. The glowing runic circle floated near Moondancer before activating.
