Vusala's body was ablaze and airborne as the first of the blades started to appear.  She lost herself in the cloud of burning sands, feeling the first of them zip through the air.  With a pulse of fire, she neatly dodged the first, sensing several more hisses in the air as she did so.  Her body flipped, spiraled downward, and threw itself to the left.  That was four, perhaps, although it didn't even occur to her to celebrate the achievement.  All around her came the spiritual whistle of daggers.  Countless weapons hurling themselves from every direction.  Conscious thought receded into instinct, as she flew from side to side, in flips, twirls, spirals, and high speed arcs to dodge the them.  Her sandstorm, and the column of flame that served as it's center, were ripped apart, in the way fire itself can only be<em>torn</em>by such a powerful spiritual assault.  She dodged for her life, knowing that even one cut from these blades would be the end of this for her.  She didn't know how long this continued, or how many blades she dodged, or had left to avoid.  Somewhere among it all, she thought she heard herself laughing.<br/><br/>When it was done, Vusala's was crouching in the sand, her breathing heavy, and her body charred with her own energy.  If there had been any doubt that she was not human before this, it vanished when the Reaper saw her face.  Blackened and flecked with golden spots, her face was an epitome of.. joy!  She was grinning wildly, her teeth somehow sharper than they were before, her eyes full of the ecstasy of blood lust and battle.  When the Reaper complimented her, she stood and began to laugh.  Not in a derisive way, as though she was gloating for having just overcome something.  No, her laughter was pure.  The kind you hear from someone having the time of their lives.<br/><br/>"Incredible!" she shouted, her body crouching into a stance.  The Reaper knew enough to see that she was centering her energy.  "This whole experience is.. Amazing!"<br/>There was a ripple of power, as a third arm shot out of her back.<br/>"The pristine beach.." Another arm appeared, this time on her left.<br/>"The joy of seeing a Reaper cast his own circle of magic!"  Two more arms burst out of her, each one smoldering, seeming to clutch the very air around her in a strangle hold.  Her voice became less human: a deeper, raspy voice that seemed to boom distantly with power.<br/>"And here, I was thinking you weren't going to let me have any fun at all!"  Her body began to glow brightly, the very meaning of fire seeming to sweep over her form.<br/><br/>When she moved, it was with an explosive step, as though she were a cannon volley advancing through the air.  Her six arms pulsed with power, as at the last moment, she threw her foot into the ground inches away from Danzo, throwing all her power and all her momentum into a 3 armed uppercut that would attack his chin, chest, and stomach simultaneously.<br/><br/>Danzo has provoked Vusala to performing an all out strike that leaves her barely human at all!<br/><br/>(Vusala is spending 8 tactics points, to advance Reflexes 8 to Reflexes 11 and Strength 6 to Strength 11!)<br/><br/>Action        Power         Resistances<br/>Physical     Reflx   8         Str      6        End  4<br/>Magical      Inflnc  5         Mana  7        Spir  3<br/>Seduction  Chrm  2         Pass   6        Will   4<br/><br/>Initiative     15<br/>Tactics<del>19  9</del>1<br/>Total Res<del>11</del>8
