Draiss sent an annoyed thought to his avatars, quietly reminding them about the items they were allowed to use, and nodded in satisfaction as one detonated a small bomb, a mini singularity, to cover its balefire shot. The balefire shot missed as the opposing avatar weaved away, but it forced it onto the defensive for a second, allowing his avatar to recenter itself and begin forcing the flow of battle back into its favor. He flickered, sending a thought to his team about him going to where the balefire had missed Verdelet, inviting her to try and strike him, though he had several contingency spells up in case she took the bait.
