Draiss shook his head, as the figure of death vanished, not calling upon his permanent and sentient weird for this fight. "While the choice of attacking me head on was, in fact, technically correct, you should never make such a move until you understand the full capabilities of the opponent. I didn't seal them off to protect them, I seal them off so I could weaken you faster. Like so."<br/><br/>He flicked his staff upwards, knocking the pick away, before sliding to the right, and smashing the head of the staff against the cleric's side. The damage was minimal, he would admit that, but the staff wasn't meant for damage, he would not have created a brand new staff just for that. Instead, its primary function kicked in, and it dispelled one of the cleric's enchantments, even as Draiss cast a quickened magic missile, picking away at his opponent. "You would have been a dangerous opponent, far more so than most parties could deal, but I am not normal."
