Sydney was thinking.  Well, thinking was putting it nicely.  Sydney was panicking.  She knew her situation, and she knew it was bad.  She knew that rocks were falling and everything could die but...<br/><br/>She shook her head.  Wizards researched.  Wizards understood.  Wizards evaluated and learned of the unknown, they didn't go dabble their toes in unknown waters!  What if the water was acid and then the wizard's cute little toes would be gone forever?  That's what dabbling got you, hideously deformed feet!  But... rocks.<br/><br/>Sydney opened her eyes, glanced around, and saw that the situation wasn't any better.  She bit her lip, shook her head, yelped slightly after realizing she bit her lip a lot harder than she had meant to, and flung her arms out, tapping into the unknown and feeling the energy swell through her, rocking her body and causing every one of her muscles to spasm.  She felt the unseen bands of power come alive and quickly began altering the runes, changing the symbols, rerouting the power, and redesigning the spell.  She anchored it on her own collar, since that damn thing had proved more resilient than a nun's virginity, and reworked the spell to deflect all solid objects trying to pass through, push back the avalache and hold death at bay.  Distantly, she wondered what would happen if enough rocks fell to bury them alive in a sphere of safety that she wouldn't be able to move but... well, it would have to do!</em><br/><br/>"I'm really sorry if I mess up everything..."<em>she said, her voice meek and unsure...</em>
