The royal guard was always amazed by the sight of elven-crafted magic and rituals such as this, but they were more often than not incredibly showy, made for dramatic effect or such rather than simply getting things done... perhaps it was just in her nature to think that, despite being raised by people of such a culture.  Her Invisible Servant, however, was the exact opposite, one perfect for times when one didn't wish to have their magic announced and could be prepared for its task ahead of time.<br/><br/>However, sometimes a show is required. With a short flick of her wrist, Lycoris cast<strong>Spark</strong>on a tree branch about forty feet or less away from herself, hopefully igniting it and sending the tree it belonged to up in flames. With any luck, this would distract the cultists long enough for her to whisper an order to her servant and allow it to carry out her command;<br/>"Grab the ring," she said to her phantom, "take it as far away from me as the spell permits, keeping it as low to the ground as possible. Return to me with it within the last minutes of your existance."
