She had yet to hit him with a fireball, but had managed to destroy one of the Steadfast Pillars. Unfortunately the Hast spell she cast had not helped her, either the Wizard was similarly enchanted or he had amazing reflexes. His staff was obviously enchanted with Lougar's Beam of Destruction. The scarred pillars and marble would be costly to replace, but the worst was the obliteration of the statue of the Sun Holder. Even having a Holy Flame extinguished did not compare. Lorelei had called for help, but hadn't really felt that her life was in jeopardy. Even the nightmarish Dark Creature bursting from the floor was more frightening than deadly. From the moment the Wizard had appeared in a rolling cloud of black smoke, his actions had been more malicious vandalism than threatening destruction. The Sun Nun worried that this might be a distraction for a greater act of evil. DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: Sorry, I just don't have time to fill this out properly by Friday.
