As a scholar studying the Abyss and Demons, Kalalin would not recklessly cast Fireballs or Lightning—such attacks were ineffective against Tanari, producing poor results. Moreover, in such chaotic environments, there was always the risk of accidentally harming his own people, which was not the result a scholar desired.
Kalalin conjured a translucent fist, glowing faintly blue, that resembled a 0-level Mage Hand, but such simple magic posed no threat to Demons. The color of the fist quickly darkened, and its texture solidified, eventually turning into a rock-like gray-white.
Following the scholar's gesture, the fist flew above the Berserk Demon that was chasing Koula. Then, as Kalalin swung his arm downward, the fist plummeted in sync, striking the unguarded demon to the ground and creating a visible dent on its head resembling a large toad's.
