Luckily for Melissandra, while Wiska was highly skilled at Earth magics, she was quite versatile with a variety of options. So what Wiska would find is that, while she could easily gain a quick upper hand and get Meli on the run, while she was running the mouse woman was also gathering ingredients to perform her own spells, or using countermeasures that the catfish might not have been prepared for.<br/><br/>Her first example, the stun spell, was easy. While Wiska was focusing on having the snake constructs chase her, she'd gathered the right ingredients to make a homemade flash bomb. Nothing huge, of course, she had to stick with what she could actually move, but definitely enough to distract Wiska and dispell her construct once completed. More of an alchemical trick than magic really but, when used properly one could hardly tell the difference.<br/><br/>(Again, lot of stuff to go over with Spectra and Barusa, and I'm currently starting a new position at work so, not as much time available at the moment. I'll try to catch it up soon.)
