Damiana was cut off before it could comment.  It noticed the hand gesture before the kick.  It was a spell, something to empower the..kick!  Damiana moved its staff forward enough to try and call up a spell.  Though Damiana was not hit by the foot, tt was pushed back, sliding hard across the floor  It crouched down, its eyes narrowing.<br/><br/>It muttered a few syllables, causing its arms to elongate, the staff lashing out across the distance at Simetra.
