Tethered to the ground and incapable of movement he did the only thing that he could. The digitigrade legs faded and returned to normal while his torso morphed skin and clothes rapidly hardening and merging together into a single dark grey iron like carapace with large spines jutting out from his shoulders. Struck by the volley of magic infused cards, he was rocked back onto his heels before managing to regain his balance. Despite the new armor like skin, he was bruised and battered by the attack. Planting his feet he began to push forward ripping himself free of the chains with brute force. After a moment the chains snapped and he broke away charging towards Destiny once more heedless of most attacks but keeping an eye for another one of those cards with a golden aura. He didn’t want to be caught by one of those things again.<br/><br/>Luca might have lacked any combat specialization like the other mages but he did have his own gifts. He would never be able to control fire as well as Lyuk or match the ranged firepower of Alice or Destiny but when came to sheer number of tricks and ability to adapt to different combat situations he was difficult to beat.<br/><br/>As he again drew close to his opponent Luca shifted once more his torso returning to its usual clothed form while his right arm shifted  nowdark green and covered in scales ending in sharp black claws that seemed to have its own dark sheen. A drop of the paralytic venom splashing onto the floor of the arena as he tried to slash her shoulders with a diagonal strike. Unless he managed to cut Destiny deeply the strike wouldn’t completely paralyze her but it would be enough to slow her down some and help keep her inside his reach for a moment longer.
