Unfortunately, the shield-siege units seem to be a lot sturdier than they look; a<em>second</em>shield is erected within the first, much smaller, barely covering the unit, but far stronger; the orbital attack manages to successfully break through, though two of the shots are deflected, and crush nearby units, but the smaller siege tanks are all deflected.

Only one remains constant enough to keep a read on it; Deception. She seems to take notice of his trying to turn the ground against them, and frowns, focusing for a moment, before diving to the ground, and quickly, almost effortlessly, inscribing a series of runes to nullify the effects; not enough to turn them against Draiss, but enough to prevent it from being used on her.

"Even your own power turns against you! Such is the force of nature!"
