An interesting play from an interesting opponent. He watched the man, never taking his eyes off of his opponent. Although he himself was not above a low blow, he never assumed his opponent was either.  He slowly began to trace runes in the air. They had no meaning or intent more just something to keep him busy as the show boat and the shrimp walked into the arena.  When they walked up to the combatants and took the monocles he raised the dagger and began to weave the rune work which would bind their mana, the source of all magic power.<br/><br/>Ken first began to speak the names of the runes and explain them.<strong>  “Uruz Is the rune of power It represents the base of all magical power”</strong>The rune looked like two parallel lines one shorter than the other connected by a horizontal line at an angle. His intent was to draw on the raw base power of the magic.  The rune flashed blue and replicated itself. One rune each floated now to rotate around each of the opponent’s wrist. He smiled, so far so good. The monocles would show the rune and give a breakdown of not only the runes power, but the intent infused into the rune.<br/><br/><strong> “The next rune represents the flow both from the source and in us. It is named Laguz” </strong>[/color]The rune looked somewhat like a scythe. It was a straight line with a curved line off of the top of the line. His intention which he infused into this rune was to designate the flow from the source and link it to the next rune which would begin the process of sealing the mana flow of both individuals. The rune flashed yellow as it split into two runes and began floating beside Ur. There is a small flash of green as the runes linked to one another.<br/><br/><strong>  “The next and last runes in the series will have to be drawn rapidly and in succession. So I will explain them before I draw them and while I hold and charge these two runes.”</strong>[/color] He closes his eyes as if trying to remember the runes he would need.<strong> “ Isa will represent the wall now between the source and the flow. Mannaz will limit the effect to those ensnared by the bands that this will create and my intentions as the caster. And finally Hagalaz will break the bands of magic after time has passed.”</strong><br/><br/>Ken began drawing the runes as he mentioned. He drew five straight lines side by side. He left the first line alone moving to right to the second and third line. He drew a line from the top of line to until about a quarter of the way down line three then from line two he drew a line a quarter of the way down two to the top of line three. He smiled as sweat began to bead upon his brow. Though the runes themselves seemed to be simple, the toll they took upon his mana store seemed great. He then completed the last of the three runes by starting a horizontal line from the midpoint of line four to about a quarter of the way from the top of line five.<br/><br/>Each rune flashed and separated to join the others. A flash of greenish blue energy as each rune connected. When the symbols were complete they formed a physical band around each involved person’s wrist.<strong> “It is done. Please inspect them to make sure that each is identical. When both of you are satisfied you may call the start of the match and the bands will activate.” </strong>He brushed the sweat from his brow and took a flask from his hip taking a drink of it.<br/><br/>He began to sway back and forth tilting and listing from side to side and back and forth. He slid the dagger into his sheath. A cocky wide eyed smile rested on his face. He rocked forward towards his opponent as if coming in for a headbutt.<strong> ”I thinks, it is time to stop playing games.”</strong>He brought his hand down toward the inner thigh of his opponent using the momentum of the rocking motion to add force to the blow and hopefully distract his opponent from his hands. As his fist came down his palms were open but his fingers bent like claws hoping to catch the soft flesh and muscle of the inner thigh. I successful he would grasp as much flesh as he could and twist the flesh and muscle as well as ripping away towards himself.<br/><br/><div align="center">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/5/56/RunesCastbyKen.png)</div>
